Haruna Ai

I give her about an 8.5. She's got a nice look, and from what I can see a very nice body. But there's still something missing.

Don't feel right rating someone's looks on a scale, but I will say she is very pretty, I wouldn't mind seeing her a the top of a blog everyday ^_^

I'm not into rating someone but she's pretty, and attractive, its like she's a normal pretty girl. ^_^

mascot approved XD

shez very pretty and nice body too

I'd give her an 8.5, judging from this picture she looks very pretty in regular clothes, not so astonishing, but I'm sure if she wears something sexy and with some sexy poses she is going to look great. I think I'd need some full body pictures to see if I'm underscoring or if I'm being too generous XD.

I would say she definitely has the qualities to be a mascot.

me like what me see :) approve!

I'd say she's lacking a bit of 'natural' charm for a mascot... it looks a bit forced in the pictures.

hm it doesnt seem like there both the same people ? look at the eyes, ones on the right seem bigger than ones on the left. but overal answer is yes. but on the right she looks a tad bit old :) id go for young fresh cuties to lure in the pervs :) isnt there more pervs than any other human? and put her in a maid outfit for otakus ;)

Panchira shot and I'll let you know Danny. I'm just kidding haha.

She's definitely cute though, but what kind of blog does this guy have anyways? So we can get a better idea.

how old is she?

Mascot approved^^

Sure, though it depends on the site's purpose. It's only natural to consider on a case-by-case basis :D

Why not? I think she's got what it takes. >.<

Unless it's a requirement, she should skip trying to be "moe" and just be herself. She's more than attractive enough, but she's not cartoon cutesy and shouldn't try to be. More like... Paprika?

more first picture more natural than the made up second one. looks good, seen worse on the net for mascots.. so tell your freind he has a keeper.. :D

I think she's just fine. She meets all the requirements.
These two pics are not enough to judge.
The rest is up to the camera and the theme / direction of the site.
We've all seen BAD pics of good looking idols before, it's all in the lens.
And.... photoshop!

It would depend on the blog's theme I guess.
If it has to do with pretty asian ladies, I see no problem.

But for instance, she wouldn't fit as my blog's mascot. Not because of how she looks or anything like that, but my blog is anime-and-gamer-otaku-oriented, so 2D girls are more fitting.

Hot...but the face...looks old hmmm..but pretty...hmmm bah its ok

Let keep it simple and forget what everyone else thinks; Approved!

its her cheek bones!!!!

the ->nose<- is the problem, changes de face expression completly

7 for me
she looks nice because of her make up

pretty smile though but the photo on the right... she smiled to wide , and props for the low cut dress :D

Hmmm, in the photos looks like regular girl... Is hot, but something missing, maybe the face.

she looks like the woman who lip syncs to aya matsuura's songs. she's become rather famous for it from what i've seen so far. i saw her on haromoni@ once when she was owner of a small restaurant and she'd put on a make-shift lip sync performance, and just today, i saw her on the newest episode of haromoni@ performing in front of a crowd with aya watching.

is that the same woman? sure looks it to me.

ｋｔｋｒ　ｗｗｗｗ

Very attractive imo, most certainly wouldnt mind getting to know her better. I cant say it would be bad thing seeing her picture everyday.

Take out the make up first =P

I think she looks good, would not mind to see her as a mascot :3

I approve. I don't see any other girls in line, ^_^

*feels mascot*
Not bad, very mascot-y... She's attractive indeed. As a mascot, she should leave an impression on ya. Color me impressed, but can she cook?

Honestly, she lacks photogecicness.... *sorry for spelling* Her pictures lack any sense of honest emotions. So, considering Japan is CRAMMED with women willing to model and be a mascot, this is a flat out pass. Keep looking.

hm well she looks good...but when i think mascot, i'm thinking of something that'll be lasting a long time...

I think she would make a very good mascot. As some of the people above said, she may have "something missing", but then again, nobody has EVERYTHING, so with that in mind, I say you should reccomend her to be said blogs mascot.

Well, sort of, though I prefer the pic on the left.

She looks "old" especially the pic on the right. She's pretty but I suggest picking someone who looks younger but is "legal."

She is very beautiful.
However, it is not the girl next door kind of beauty, more of a girl I met clubbing down in oxford street. What are qualities for a mascot girl perse?

I say go for it. As long as she's prepared for anything that'll come her as a a potential net "celebrity".

nope, doesn't click for me
she is not MOE enough

I want to see her in a "mascot outfit" to see if she has that mascot feel... she looks like she could be car model. I give her the ^_^b

Not moe enough.

She looks perfect as a mascot... Just so long as she's not the mascot of some twisted little hentai-fan base run by mentally disturbed English students in York (It's not because I'm not running it)....
So.... Very.... Attractive...

Is this some sort of experiment Danny? Not sure if the guys saying that there is something wrong with "her" know what they are talking about.

dont like her face

Nah.
I don't mean she's ugly. She's just totally NOT my type.

Looks cute enough, but that's only by judging those 2 partial photos. Hard to say without knowing the person or having a look at them for real.

Perhaps I should date her a bit to give a more well educated and informed opinion? :P
(Don't I wish!)

i dont know how would she make it as a mascot but she is hot as hell :D

Is she .. real? She gives me the same vibe as one of those virtual idols.

i think she is a very pretty!
but don't 2D make the best mascots? well in any case this girl is gorgeous imho.

The first pic is deffo cuter than the second, and she's lovely and all. But I'm not sure if she has that sparkle that mascots gotta have....

The left pic looks strange like she's forcing a smile and doesn't feel very comfortable. Not to mention she lacks moe factor.

She's beautiful, approveeed!

If she wears a bunny suit or a nurse costume then maybe...

Good enough for me.

As long as she don't use the camera + lighting + resolution of the right picture again. I'm not to sure what she did, but she's very cute in the left picture and not so much in the right.

She looks like pretty old to me. I say no. =/

it really depends on what the blogg will contain, what group of people will it target and age of course. that kind of info would help us more on the answer Danny.
but all in all she looks great! and i would say ''yes''.

In the picture she is great, but in reality she's ok.

I dunno, I guess she would make a good mascot if it was her site that she was a mascot for. Personally, just some unrelated stranger being the mascot to a site would be pretty weird. I'd go there and think, "wtf?".

She looks good (face check, body check) but a bit too old for a mascot. (especially if the site has loli material:D for an idol site she might be OK) However I still prefer Mirai:D

Can't judge w/o pantsu shot.

Just kidding, the pic on the left, she's very cute face.

is the same girl? lokk like 2 girls...

she looks good.fine like an aged wine.i don't know

Looks nice and cheerful, but I don't know if she has what it takes...

How can a girl be a mascot?... isn't that reserved to animals and dressed up super freaks.

old is such a harsh word :P (tsktsk) how about mature?
I think she's a pretty lady who knows how to maintain her looks, she gives me a "race queen" vibe ;) And it would definitely help if we know what kind of website mascot is for ^^

Photo might not do her justice and she's a little well matured for my liking .... but that's only my opinion.

Hard to imagine her as a mascot being that she's 3D. Official face/model for the site? Yes. I know, I know, that's what was meant. It just came to me. I agree with Neil about the photo quality.

She took those pictures with her own camera huh... and she looks that good?
Put her in the right light/outfit and I think she'll be a great 3D Mascot ... but she's definitely not a 3D version of Mirai if anybody was thinking about that :)

She's really beautiful. Very awesome.

i think she'd be a good mascot, just needs higher-quality images. Those ones are kinda blurry.

boy am i glad i didnt post here. i think she/he looks cute but there was something odd about the face when I first saw this. i can't shake the feeling it has something to do with the cheeks or jaws that kind of puts me off. all in cute but he/she doesn't look that mind-blowingly beautiful.

rofl nice trap. actually recently i found out one of my best friends gf's used to be a man

trap.. Omg... zzzz...omg......

thankfully i only gave information as to what you should do. :) so im safe :)

OMG!! LOL. Good trap good trap! *applause*
Thats why it was odd. Look at the first few comments. I guess it kinda proved here that men have filters to detect trap? Something is wrong but just can't guess what. LOL

you got me speechless...serious i dont know what to do...

TRAP! Danny you screwy bastard :D if you didn't say antrhing no one would have never know . sheesh. Still nice though.. and after 10 years and not notice anything i would be pissed a bit but still keep cause. its been 10 years love is love.. no matter the body.

WHHAAA. But anyways, Wow he's HOT, ^_^ !! If my wife tells me in 10 years that she was once a man. I would be mad for her/him not telling me. But still, I'm not going to divorce her though. Since we're just human, and my wife can be my Last Friend, ^_^ .

At risk of sounding boorish: I'd hit it regardless. Cute is cute is cute.

Nooo! Trapped! hmm.. knowing after 10 years would be a bit shocking. But i think i'll still love her for who she/he is, after all its 10 years of love.

Yugi voice: YOU'VE ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD! NOW YOU HAVE NO CHANCE!

But wow.. If ever, I wish she'll never tell me if that's the case :P

Very nice trap. But if she is a she, then that is still fine with me. She cute. Very nice job.

Bad, bad boy! Danny has been a naughty boy and needs a time-out in the corner. On second thought, forget that, we need you out there posting stuff ^^.

1) For all those who said something was missing, you now know what that "something" is.
2) I'm laughing with you, not at you. I made the same mistake. I assumed female. Even now knowing she used to be a guy, (s)he's still cute. Still...
3) If I were married to someone like her and after 10 years she told me that... well... many things run through my mind. I know that if I stay with her, I'd remain feeling uncomfortable. I'd make sure she knows and if the marriage were to continue, the feeling of discomfort would need to be worked on. This would become my problem to overcome. Understand that all that I've said really means nothing because I truly wouldn't know what I'd do unless it actually happens, but I sense that to be the likely outcome.

After ten years that wouldn't matter. Something must be right to have been together for that long and even though she was once a man, as a woman she's beautiful. I would have never figured it out, to tell the truth. I knew she looked older but that's about it; still beautiful.

she use to be a "him" ? holy cow. i never had a doubt in my mind...that is utterly amazing.

and as for danny's question, id be so pissed off if someone i was with for 10 years suddenly told me that she used to be a "him" ouch.

but another question for you guys. didnt mean to hi-jack this post, but would you rather not know that "she" used to be a him if you guys had been together for 10 years?

I would be pretty mad if she didn't tell me that she used to be a man before marrying, or even before even thinking about marriage. She looks cute and all, if I wasn't told I wouldn't know that she used to be a man, but it's still something I'd like to know. I agree with GTR anyways, I wouldn't divorce her if she told me 10 years later, but I would be shocked. ^_^

I was friends with this boy last year... thought he was really cool and interested in similar things as me, so I thought we'd be good friends. After a few months I found out from a friend that he was a she. Mhm.

I'd still hit that. Mind you; I've always had a thing for traps.

well...my gut feelings served me right.
she didn't click for me :p

i believe a lot of people just got lampooned.

Damn. Never saw that one coming. Couldn't say how I'd feel; how I never have to find out.

Find out 10 years after marriage? That's way too long. I think it would take less than a month for anyone to figure out his/her real gender.

After 10 years? I think I'll probably just laugh it off... And hey that's the person I fell in love with, it doesn't matter if she used to be a guy...

Man! Haruna Ai is awesome! I like her dance!

OMG TRAP!!!! But a really tricky one lol

hahah. great trap danny.

if I was told after 10yrs of marriage that my wife was a he I really wouldn't know what to do to be honest. Which raises the question, since you know now that your wife was once a he...will you be considered a homo? what exactly does it mean to be a homo in this situation? (no offense to the gay people here) Its just a question that popped up in my head.

Well Danny, well played you tricked us all. And some serious kudos to miss Haruna Ai,s he has definitely made an amazing transformation!

I accept that she is a very cute girl, but as for your question, If I married her and only found out 10 years later I'd feel totally betrayed. If I knew beforehand I'd still be quite hesitant about a relationship, but I'd like to think I'm progressive enough to date a girl like that.

Now THAT is what you call a well-disguised trap. :P

I give her just 3.5/10. Please click this link>>> http://prettypoyd.hi5.com : a famous TRANSGENDER in Thailand, Very Beautiful!!!

I feel so dirty

Oh, can't believe I fell for it. It felt strange that you didn't say for which site she should become the mascot but I still went along with it. I must admit (s)he looks good. (It's luck I found her too old and prefered Mirai) After 10 yrs of mariage I wouldn't divorce because of her being him, but I would ask my wife she didn't say anything (didn't trust me or what?) and would possibly divorce after that. It seems a bit disgusting now, but maybe after 10 yrs of marriage you wouldn't mind.

this is blasphemy ^^;;;

This gender-bending is confusing.

no wonder we realize there is just something not so right about this girl...
i guess if face to face, our nature's "alarm" would have sounds off... +p

WTF... well, nice job.

omgggg...damn u danny....another well planned trap! i totally fell for it...

shez still a cutie i think...tho the feeling is weird now...thnx argh

Ack! You got me Danny you bugger. No wonder she feels like a mascot, she got plastic parts. I'm still impressed as the doc did a great job. Does he cook?
*cues "The Crying Game" movie music*

Hahaha
Actually I kinda knew and I was gonna post a comment, but I forgot her(his) name.
However, while I was trying to figure out his name, at same time I was watching the newest episode of "Suberanai Hanashi the Golden."
And he was in it!!
One of the comedians had an episode about him, and it was quite funny:)

damn that is a bit weird.oh well (s))he still looks good. 10 years would be a long time to not tell. 1st reaction disbelief 2nd anger 3rd probably acceptance.

I would be pretty accepting, i think. haha.

As long as everything functions as a female would, I do not see the problem.

ROFL. No one will believe, but I actually thought of that.
But saying something like "She looks like a man" would be too rude.
And I guess she looks really pretty compared to some other 100% natural japanese girls... :P

With all the treatments that are available today, this is not too surprizing... I've seen some trap pics no way in hell people could find out.

"the cake is a lie"..... sorry.. couldn't resist..

Newhalfs are so pretty... it's not fair.. ;_;

She is pretty but she will always be missing what a real woman has. Bummer

man, there's alot of comments.

i had an inkling she was transgendered. my point was proven by watching this past sunday's haromoni@. haruna was a guest.... or well a sort of surprise guest. she was being "stalked" by sayumi and reina of morning musume. they took haruna's mobile phone and snooped through her text messages and found out that she takes ALOT of photos of herself. and yes, i think she's really pretty. i love her smile.

wow man, if no one told me she was a he I would think that she was a pretty girl with a strong voice, but I have to say that I wouldn't even go out with her with tears in my eyes, I'm not homophobic but I just wouldn't :/ .

Wow, we all got zinged on this one! I stand by my tag that she is attractive, but something was missing. Guess we know now...

OH dang thats a bigger trap than the second death star.
Regardless shes cute, and hell if she likes guys hobbies (some body contact sports say) (and a plate of the good ol fish chips n`beer) it would be like a dream come true !

wow lucky i'm not in the same bed with him

WHAT
THE
....
ಠ_ಠ

It would be interesting if s/he will be pregnant, now that's surprising...

Does anybody have a pic of her before the transformation..Luv to see that

I'll just stare at the current her. No need for a before photo.

big eyes...

How should I describe her/him? Should I call by she/he?
