I wrote this post due to popular demand of the previous post regarding and Saaya Irie and Mizuki Yoshii, the child models in Japan.

My site statistics have placed Mizuki Yoshii as the 8th most searched keyphrase here (55 people searched for it through Google, Yahoo! and Live), through a 6 month period which is shocking because I just blogged about her a week ago! [Most searched is 'japanese lyrics', followed by 'breast' and then 'create winks'.]

With help from Andre, I found the pictures of Mizuki Yoshii. And oh yeah, the reported made a mistake, her name is Mizuki Furui (古井みずき). The reporter mixed up the pronounciation of �??�?��?�?? which can be read either ‘Furui’ or ‘Yoshii’.

Mizuki Furui is born on May 15, 1996, in the Kanagawa Prefecture (神奈川). That means she’ll be 10 just a couple of days later. She is 130 cm tall and is blood-typed ‘A’. Her favorite sport is swimming. She has talent in drawing stuff on paper. Her hobby is �??�?��?��?� (pronounced as ‘purikura’ I think), but I don’t really know what that is. I kinda suspect that is some photo sticker thingy that you can get from those machines. [I felt like I enter one of those time capsule devices each time I step into those.] Can anyone confirm that with me?

So here you go, these are some of the pictures I found.

(Several photographs of Mizuki Furui.)

Japan’s taste seem a little too extreme for me. Sure Miss Furui looks adorable in those pictures, but like Daniel Beattie commented, she’s rather normal looking. I don’t see anything very special about her.

I know you guys may not like it when I post such pictures. I find no problems with them. It is strange to me that people enjoy looking at girls so young. I am not here to decide what is morally right. I believe many are like me, just curious to see who this Mizuki Yoshii or Mizuki Furui is. So there, don’t scream at me okay?

She said something about Maki Goto being her favorite celebrity. Something about being hopeful to join Morning Musume too. I do not understand Japanese so a translation would be nice.

Is it just me or are Japanese web site links kinda long. See, I did my research, this reminds me of doing online research for bioinformatics stuff.
