Homare Sawa, Peter, Yonekura Ryoko, Koda Kumi, Watanabe Ann, DAIGO

Yonekura Ryoko took home the top prize in the actress category, while Watanabe Ann (model) recieved the prize in the talento catagory. DAIGO (BREAKERZ) represented the men and I'm sure he loves being called a Queen ... or maybe he's the Nail King? I have to admit, nail art looks cool, but I dunno if I'd do it. If you're a dude, I think you have to be a rockstar to pull it off. Homare Sawa and Peter also won awards in the sport and special categories.

Koda Kumi was also named a Nail Queen in the artist category. She has held the title since 2006 and because she has now reigned 3 years in a row, Kuu was inducted into the Nail Queen Hall of Fame. She was presented the award by fellow Hall of Fame-er Becky, who had won the Talento category from 2005-2007. Koda had her claws out proudly at the awards - I think you'll agree, they're very impressive ...

I love Kuu but... what is she WEARING?

It's like a kimono/dress/blouse thing.

Gaki's goal in life should be to become the Nail Queen :p Actually Maki Goto has been a Nail Queen before I believe. Maybe she should mentor Gaki ;)
