Omedetou (congrats) to the following members who win one of the following from the previous giveaway. Prizes were... 1 x figma Tsukasa 1 x figma Kagamin 1 x http://www.jlist.com/PRODUCT/YOYA355 (Totoro) 1 x http://www.jlist.com/PRODUCT/NIECAL09-001 (Shirow) 1 x http://www.jlist.com/PRODUCT/CL176-09 (Naruto) 1 x http://www.jlist.com/PRODUCT/CL203-09 (Kanokon) 1 x http://www.jlist.com/PRODUCT/CL177-09 (Bleach) Winners were... http://www.dannychoo.com/home/eng/marl0/ http://www.dannychoo.com/home/eng/tenrou/ http://www.dannychoo.com/home/eng/fatbastard/ http://www.dannychoo.com/home/eng/chun/ http://www.dannychoo.com/home/eng/spiritrubi/ http://www.dannychoo.com/home/eng/wtfwazthat/ http://www.dannychoo.com/home/eng/suneo/ LOL at some of the answers. Looks like some folks didn't read the rules properly. Some of the answers included urls to the J-List site. What you was supposed to do was to send in the name of the idol (Rui Kiriyama) and the following url which contains the photo that I took of Rui-chan. http://www.dannychoo.com/adp/eng/1392/Akihabara+Girls.html Looks like many of you were put off from the many "I found her!" comments - even though many applicants either didn't get the answer correct or qualify at all - all giveaways are only for members who have been registered for over a month and who have participating in the community by commenting regularly. I choose to do it this way because I want to reward those who help in creating the community. Blame my times at Amazon as a hiring manager - I learned the importance of rewarding people. Thanks to the good folks at J-List for making this possible. Photo of Rui from Aquahouse where you can see more.

Congrats everyone... I'm not good at those. Thought that it was on Jlist also, though I did look everywhere. Aqua House was one of the first things I looked for, but couldn't find anything related to that idol. I did find someone pretty close, also wearing white bikini... but turned out it wasn't the right idol... :P Don't have much interest in idols, so I guess I had no chance... :P
(ID #407322) Posted on 2008/12/11 13:20
I gave up without trying since I didn't really look at the idol articles at all. D:

I got an email from them yesterday. <3 Thanks so much for the contest. :3 I first looked around at idol pages for a hour and then just quickly searched google for idols who were part of Aqua House. Went to a site selling some idol dvds, picked the name of one that looked liked her, searched back here and bam, found her. XD

Thank you so much Danny (and J-List)! I got my email yesterday as well. He said that I was number 1 (got the answer correct first), and that I was VERY fast! (got it within minutes after the contest started...) ^_^; He told me that since I was first, I could choose any of the prizes. So I picked Figma Kagamin—my first ever figma! :D This was the first time I have ever won a contest (and I participate in a LOT of internet contests), so you have no idea how happy this made me! And congrats to the other winners!
