I'm surprised she doesn't even say anything about it in her blog!

[otaku_blue]

this isn't real right??
that's just photoshop?

[iceymoon]

not real. right-click (or ctrl-click) "Search Google for this image" and you get other results like it, using different photos. i wonder if Sakura thought it was, though..? maybe not, she probably would have said something about it if she did.

[Yattaruchan]

It's not real. I didn't bother looking closer as it was from Sakura's blog. Now I look like a right goose.

Either way, some of those street artists (well, artists in general) can be do some pretty realistic stuff.

[Shoujo Q]

Seeing other photos on her blog. It looks more like Sakura was having fun with some app. Mainly this one. -> http://photofunia.com/categories/drawings

I know most of the H!P girls like to screw around with photo apps, stamping, montages, and graffiti, but not usually that kind of stuff. At least not that I've seen (on Blog! Project).

[Celedam]

Sakura is special that way. She's so observant and thoughtful that she can be a bit creepy sometimes. So playing with unusual apps is just another Tuesday afternoon for her.

Really, if someone said she'd done the Photoshopping herself, I'd say "Yeah, that sounds like her."

[otaku_blue]

Yeah I've seen blog pictures where she edits her eyes too big LOL aw

It's cute but it's always been a pet peeve when the nickname is longer than the real name

I don't have stats or anything but I imagine that is fairly likely to occur in Japanese if the person's given name is only one or two syllables to begin with. Let's see..

Riho --> Rihoriho
Saki --> Kya-pu-te-n
Saki --> Na-k-ky
Mai --> Maimai
Kana --> Kanana
Rina --> Ri-na-pu-u
Yuka -->Yukanya

Rena --> Renako
Riko --> Rikoriko
Kana --> Kamechan
Rio --> Riorio
Risa -> Yamakki
Ruru --> Ru-n-ru-n Da-n-ba-ra-n (thanks, Amped)

(Syllable breaks added where not immediately obvious)

Unless I missed someone, it holds true 100% for current H!P members with two-syllable names.

Danbara Ruru's nickname is not Runrun anymore. its Danbaran. her name is so short, she gets a longer nickname.
