I agree, the caption to this pic is quite anti-climactic.

That photo could have a more juicy caption. And what is up with that big microphone? Very Freudian all this...

very romantic.

That is a standard Senheisser radio mic.

She can whisper in my ear anytime.

I was so disappointed to read that this was only a whisper, so I ageee with combini.

Asada Mao looks like a young, female Kim Jong Il. How people can think she's cute is beyond me.

"Asada Mao looks like a young, female Kim Jong Il"
She does not.

one needs a nose job, the other needs her eyes fixed, both lovely ladies though.

"one needs a nose job, the other needs her eyes fixed"
Neither of them needs either of those things.

I think she looks "special" - not cute at all.

Mr.Dog - you are a harsh man!

As per this example Korean women are far better looking than Japanese women. I write this under duress. My girlfriend blindsided me and now I am cut off for the rest of the day.

I remember hearing once that there is some country or culture where being cross-eyed is considered very beautiful, so while some of us might think Mao needs "fixing", there's someone out there who thinks she's fine just the way she is.

I agree with motogaijin; "ron-pari" (London-Paris) rules!

Oh wow, a picture with possibilities of truly epic proportions.
Somone, get a photoshop expert in here....

I guess I'm one of those who kind of likes the eye thing.

"pucker up!" was the first thing I was thinking. @mrhog, shouldn't be commenting on other women when the missus is around. I wouldn't say Korean women look better than Japanese women. Kinda broadsiding everyone. Only thing that concerns me is a womans natural beauty. None of that plastic surgeon/breast implanting/artificial buttocks enhancing garbage...

Why is it that so many commenters were hoping for it to have been a kiss? Innocent girl kissing is only that.. innocent. And slutty girl kissing is most often that, slutty experimentation for thrills.. The 3rd type of girl kissing is only for show.. fake.. and the final type of girl kissing IS real.. and those girls are in love with each other, not you. So i will never understand why men would be wanting to see girls kissing at all? Which sort are men attracted to - the non-sexual innocents, the sluts, the fakes, or the the kai awase women who are not interested in you at all?
HonestDictator
@Mikanojo same reason some women are attracted to gay men, yaoi, and shonen-ai situations... men who are not interested in them at all. It goes both ways. Seriously though this pic has Kim looking suspiciously like she's about to plant one on Mao's cheek (even if she really isn't), which we all find kind of funny and humorous.

She looks like she has Kabuki eyes. Cute girl though.

She's a very beautiful and talented woman.
