Q5 Does society place too much importance on image and beauty?

I think beauty is important in society because it is easy to get jobs. Especially when someone who gets a job to meet visitors such as hotel clerks, bank clerks, announcers, CA and so on. If they are beautiful, they can give good impressions to visitors. So, beauty is important in society. ( but I think personality is more important than beauty...)

Q3 Some celebrities become fashion icons. Who are some fashion icons? Why      do you think they became icons? Do they have a good influence on people?

I think famous people can be a fashion icons. For example, Honda Keisuke is a famous soccer player in Japan. When he come back to Japan from foreign countries, media takes his picture at airport every time. And the pictures are published by them. And then, people imitate his fashion. So I think he is famous in Japan and because of the media, he became a fashion icon. And I think he has a good influence on people because his fashion is cool.
