Japanese fans of top NicoNico Douga idol “Yuzuka-hime” are agog at her first TV appearance, with many vowing never to trust a webcam again as long as they live (and others vowing to buy whatever model it is she uses).
Yuzuka-hime’s fame stems from regular appearances on NicoNico Douga’s live broadcasts, netting her millions of views and the kind of niche celebrity which goes along with this.
With slight fame comes the opportunity to exploit otaku with nothing better to spend their money on:
However, all that unravelled in spectacular fashion with her first TV appearance:
The reaction:
“Who the hell is this?”
“On TV she looks totally different:”
“This isn’t the Yuzuka-hime I know!”
“Is it the wide screen?”
“This is mother and daughter, right?”
“It’s hard to praise this.”
“You might let her do you for $25 I suppose.”
“The one on TV is the real thing, the other one is shopped up.”
“Nico have been fiddling the aspect ratio, haven’t they?”
“I don’t know…”
“How old is she?”
“A common woman who’s called cute looks like this. Actresses and idols who can stand up to HDTV resolution are pretty amazing really.”
“ARRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH… Give me back my youth!”
“Her body is dirty, definitely below average.”
“What’s up with that sloppy body? Just how old is she?”
“Damn, she looks even worse than my girlfriend. Net idols are like this.”
“She cannot really be in her teens? She looks far too nasty…”
“She got sick of people saying that and actually showed her passport. She really is 18.”
“She’s really 18? I feel sorry for her…”
“The gilt has worn off! Serves you right, Nico-tards!”
“She looks like my mother.”
“This is worse than the swindles they pull on AV covers.”
“Anything goes if she has boobs, eh?”
“When is her SOD debut, I wonder?”
“She looked cute because she was hanging her head down all the time to conceal its contours, I reckon.”
“Whatever webcam she uses is just going to be flying off the shelves.”
“Aren’t webcams amazing?”

Thought it was gunna be a dude...
I thought the same thing, i wouldnt been all that surprised though... but for ppl to trust what they see instantly is kinda naive
whew... Thank god it's not a trap but hey anything can happen on the net like weird, bizarre, gory etc..
But she doesn't even look that different. o.o
YEah... but you STILL LOOKED anyway!
ahahahaha @anon 21:42 we were thinking the same thing. looks like im gonna get downrated...
Well, I would have prefered her having the same look on both webcam and TV and being a trap, than this...
Maybe some ppl are photogenic in a web cam but different on a TV's resolution.
Looks like the webcam is without make-up, while TV is with make-up and lighting? XD
Yep, it just looks like the makeup artist got a little carried away at making her look more mature. Makeup can easily make a person's face look 'fuller' as well. Also, she has a massively wide smile that looks forced, like someone on the TV crew told her "Smile wider! Wider... wiiider... wiiiiider... there! Perfect!"
Actually, I don't even think she looks bad in the television broadcast, just a little older, like in her mid twenties rather than late teens.
Yeah, webcam someone would either have no/minimal makeup, while when you are recorded for TV, they slap all kinds of pancake makeup on you and shine very bright lights. The fappers who feel misled don't realize that the TV images are the inaccurate ones.
A little dissapointed it wasn't a trap as I'd assumed. Dunno what the 2channers are complaining about though. She's not that bad, and probably better than any of them would have (if they get a woman at all)
doesnt this remind you of the wideness of madoka?
She still needs to go WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDER
I did to.
woulda been better if it was a dude...
A lot of people thought so. We're too used to Artefact's traps...
jaja si no puede ser xD m,e han engañadado
gb2 mexico
I never took Spanish, but I can read it just fine, so it ain't that bad.
Anon 2:35 I can read it too but I don't understand
Haha, Anonymous 00:51 05/08/2011, gb2 the ass that shit you out.
(づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ yo no se pero para mi ella se sigue vieno bastante bien aunque un poco gordita. Y mas mayor...
mebe her fat grows so fast... its a nico an 2ch inhabitant and her time for being a fat ass has come.... but the face is the same
tal vez engordo en un tiempo relampago .... es una habitante de la red despues de todo y su tiempod eengordar llego perolas facciones son las mismas
Mucho depende del ángulo en que está la webcam, por eso se veía bien. Pero debido al ángulo recto de la cámara de televisión, así como la iluminación, maquillaje y otros factores, descubrimos lo que es ella en realidad ¬_¬
Jay, count me in.
Lol same here.
LOOK OUT ITS A TRAP!
yeah, i agree with you. i was holding my breath to see couples of dick or something, lol
A couple pictures of dick or a picture with a couple dicks?
Brah she looks like an old hag.
Same here, see how he keeps posting things about cross dressers.
thought was a guy too
Am i the only one disappointed its not a trap?
Artefact reverse trolled us. =/
ah, a men after my own heart.
I feel the same, dude.
That's what my money was on too... >_>
I kinda want the second picture to have that 1 guy screaming still ol
she isn't that bad, those 2ch magicians and wizards sure have too high standard
oh, that's why they are still magicians and wizards
Na...the magicians and wizards got owned by the modern technology known as webcam :P
Any sufficiently advanced shooping is indistinguishable from magic.
Nothing to do with web cams, really. Its just the magic of makeups.
There are even reality shows in all over youtube that shows you how women can change from awful to hot only by using makeups, nice clothes and high heels.
Well, now they are doing the opposite, lol.
Yeah their standards are way too high. She's cute. Then again I don't expect real girls to look like photoshopped idols.
Such is the society that we live in, I suppose. I guess there are way too many people out there which expect people famous to look like godly anime characters or supermodels...they truly need to wake up to reality.
They've just got stupidly high standards for people with no money.
Ahahahaha 2ch fucking tards, who trusts anything they see on the internet?
the same people who were shocked that aya hirano was having sex with people, one would think
AND ISHITHARA ( ﾟдﾟ )
Dunno. Whats the problem exactly? That they had make up done on her for a tv appearance so she looked differant? I can't imagine why anyone is shocked or surprised by this. Honestly, the differance of before and after is like if you were watching what not to wear, and they show the before the chick does make up, then after.
Exactly. Japan's expectations for how people look are pretty unrealistic and ridiculous.
This accounts for all those husbands in Japan who say they have never seen their wife without make-up I suppose.
Instead they should be happy like me, who wants to see a sex tape before she disappears completely.
