Pageant

An application for the Miss Grand Japan 2015 was launched on April 1, 2015.[8] Through the seminar and online screening, only 32 applicants qualified for the semi-final round, held on July 4, 2015, at the Yurakucho station square, where the final 19 contestants were elected.[2][9] Together with the 3 revenge match winners, determined later at the Happo-en, completed the twenty-two finalists,[2] who then entered the national final round held at the Happo-en on August 24.[1][2]

In the grand final round, the top 10 finalists, determined earlier in the preliminary competition held on August 23, were announced, followed by the top 5 finalists, who then competed in the question and answer section. Afterward, Miss Grand Japan 2015 as well as other supplemental title winners were named.[3][10]
