Isn't that person technically a transgender? Probably a transsexual. I wonder why the Japanese have supposedly "invented" a new term for that category of people. More information on your part, Danny? I'm saying that out of cause. I'm non-judgmental, am even taking a sexuality class right now and learned quite a fair bit on those phenomena. Remember folks, there is a place for everyone on this planet and everyone has rights. Still, usually not hanging out with others already I don't think I would. But I wouldn't run away in terror either (unlike if it was about Candygirls).
Hehe I remember seeing this last month. Some of those guys got REALLY good jobs, would be scarey to meet them at a party.... What was even funnier... i was watching it with someone who did not know japanese and often commented about the cute 'girls'. When they showed the photo of them as a guy i told him that it was a show on 'hot' girls with pretty below average guys.. Ahh I had so much fun :)

D_Blade, the Japanese "invented" the term because in their quest to show their superiority to the rest of the world they can't admit they are just following a generic human pattern/behaviour. Yes there are transgender everywhere, but for the japanese, it must be special, therefore, it need a new word to show that they are different and not some rehashed version of the good old tranny... Anyway don't worry in japanese words are born and dies at a frightening speed making their language some kind of perpetual expandable nonsense.
Love the look on the faces of the people sitting behind the tables. heheh! Wouldn't go out with any of those. Not even when we're the last two people on earth. hahahah! But you have to admit, some of them are more beautiful than your average women. heheh!
Japanese perversion knows no end! Where's my Bible! :>
This isn't just a Japanese thing, In Thailand they had a miss transsexual beauty pageant, and in Korea a few years back there was a transsexual pop star that made a splash for a while.

Thanks for the link! Can you change it to link to the original post instead of a youtube account: http://www.japanprobe.com/?p=917
So Quattro Vagina is not a newtype....but a newhalf. LOL!
japan is getting a taste of a newhalf that newhalf is the real-life Jun Watarase XDDD thailand has a lot of newhalves that are even much more pretty than real women
The last girl (19 y/old) looks really pretty. But I guess guys will have to be wary of the girl that they're dating. Might be a trap! ^^;
They must be happy, that their dreams have come true! But just as they suffered problems as a man the well as woman. But wow, some of them were hawt! No- No- NOOO! I'm against this =[
omg! chicks with d*cks. ^^ the sad thing is, they sometimes do look better than the real thing. >.
i hate g's but that guy did have 1 hell of plastic surgery. why don't these guy love it's own wiener....

this clip reminds me of a japanese show called "pretty boys" or something O__o
Hmmm.......................................................................................... Can still kinda tell they're guys.................................................................... They act act more girly than girls.
Hacked body to look like a girl. The street slang fot "Newhalf" in brazilian portuguese (more São Pualo state) is "traveco" (read, tra lie in TRAvis, ve like in VEnture and co like in COld) Now you know one word in portuguese!
Gaspard, I see what you're meaning and I agree that it is to give some hype to a phenomenon that already exists. Hype and the sense of novelty sell. "expendable nonsense" *laughs* well, I prefer being in a living culture with a crazy sense of expression than in one that would be eternally entrenched in traditional values (especially if there are notions of injustice, corruption and stubbornness in the latter). As long as there are no riots in the former, that is.
LIKE THE FIST OF AN ANGRY GOD! But then, I'm not stuck up like some of these people. You'd all hit it. And you knew it the second you saw the first picture, before you scrolled down.
in thailand, we get lots of these 'newhalves'. but never gone out with one! (hopefully this will continue!)
the thing in the suit is probably still a pre-op tranny. you could tell they're trying real hard to be women.
they have banging bodies but after staying in BKK for a few months and trolling the nightlife... these japanese newhalves pale in comparison to the thai ones... you can still roughly see they're guys from the manly facial and body structures... and of course, their over exaggerated expressions so common the newhalves...
If you didn't mention it I would have said "she is hot," now I have to say he...she...shim is hot lol
errr....hmmmmmmm. ahhhhhhhhhh........huh? hmmmmmmm......................lets see................uuuuuuummmmmmmmmm.... i dunno....??
Ummmm...ok.

And in other news: newhalves have displayed telekinetic and telepathic powers: an extremely high degree of spatial awareness, ability to empathically detect other newhalves, and sensitivity to the hostile intentions directed at them by others. Observers report seeing a white bolt flashing across newhalves' foreheads with an accompanying sound effect... /dodges trout
0.0...........
I don't mind accepting Newhalf as a friend of course.
omg, i just saw the full episode on youtube. Some of them just look so like a girl that its scary. While, some other are just plain disturbing :P. Eh i guess i don't mind having a new half friend as long they are not scary looking xD.
(SPEECHLESS)

Not that i mind though, maybe some of have have problems back when they were guys or their personalities are a bit girlish so they were wondering why they're in a guy's body? well, that's my opinion.
@farrroarz: Well, the definition of transgender people goes as follows: Individuals who feel they have been trapped in the body of the wrong gender. Hence the surgery process and all. I was quite afraid of them a while ago but I've learned to accept them in time. Understanding, tolerance/acceptance and awareness are essential in those matters.
soso i have to see "Poyd" transexual star in Thailand. please follow this link http://www.pantip.com/cafe/chalermthai/topic/A5689970/A5689970.html

is it a called newhalf in japan? well... it`s not a problem to go out with them, cuz they are girls. we have to accept their mind and their conduct. it is not right to exclude for their difference.
I would certainly go out with a new half. They cannot help having what is a medical condition, and some of them are truly beautiful.
A solid NO. I don't mind them though. I can tolerate but I won't patronize.
wow she's sooooooooooo pretty... the reason i clicked on this article was because i thought its about some pretty girl.... *speechless*
I don't mind going out with...
