If a model-material girl wanted to model in Japan, but only speaks a little, does she still have a chance?

Question

Straight legs;

Very skinny

and tall, but doesn't know much Japanese.

will that work?

Answer 1

Yes, you have a chance.

Find a model agency in Japan, they usually have someone who speaks English.

My sister works in ad industry. She says that usually foreign models in Japan do not speak Japanese, so she has to speak a little English to communicate with them sometimes.

There are so many foreign models in Japan, they usually work for a few month at one time. Majority are from Eastern Europe.

The hard part is, unless you are not a sought-after model you have to pass an audition every time to get a job.

There are thousands of beautiful, good figure models( I've seen so many photos which my sis discarded) To get a job, you have to be the right model for their demanding, the color of skin, the size of your ears, your face line, so on...  

Good luck!

Answer 2

I've heard that Claudia Schiffer or Cindy Crawford did modeling in Japan before she became a SUPER model.

Probably for a month or so, but I heard it from TV long time ago.

And I don't think they speak Japanese...

Answer 3

No chance.

Answer 6

Okay one thing you are not model material. Model material is not just physical you must be smart and if you are really model material you would know the answer to this question.

Yes models move to the United States knowing no english at all, its better to know someone in Japan to help you get around.

Answer 7

She may be but the problem is the industry is not so kind and generous for strangers who doesn't know Japanese.

She will be overworked very hard by manager or boss with cheap or a few pay. The contract is just paper and you can't win lawsuit there.

Her looking, shape and attractiveness are just side factors for her profitable healthy modeling business in Japan. She must understand and speak Japanese at least to insist what she wants with people who are concerned with her.

So many self-called overseas models have been obliged to go night business to make profit for boss or Yakuza not for herself actually nowadays in Japan.
