Taking applications for the 2020 Kawaii Ambassador Contest!

The two Vietnamese Kawaii Ambassadors, chosen as the 2019 asianbeat-FACo Kawaii Ambassadors, will take to the stage! Hear about their experiences walking the runway at the Fukuoka Asia Collection (FACo), the largest fashion event in Kyushu, held in Fukuoka Prefecture in March this year, and enjoying sightseeing spots in Fukuoka Prefecture! We will also be taking applications for the 2020 Kawaii Ambassador Contest at the event!
