Of course I love some anime series &amp; movies and manga books but it&#8217;s quite rare that I purchase anything from those genres. And if I do you can bet that it&#8217;s not anime\/manga for kids or girls. But I&#8217;m telling you that all this ignoring doesn&#8217;t mean that I neglect also <strong>Koharu Kusumi<\/strong>, the young lady in between <strong>Morning Musume<\/strong>, MilkyWay and Kirarin.

And her sensuality is overflowing. I guess you can&#8217;t separate these two characteristics from each other.

Project<\/strong> from those massive auditions, what kind of criterions he has when picking up girls. As an example such names as <strong>Aya Matsuura<\/strong> and Koharu Kusumi were mentioned. When Tsunku began his answer he said he had to get serious for that question.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"lightbox\" href=\"\/wp-pix\/koha_shouganai_03.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kakko-ii.com\/wp-pix\/koha_shouganai_03_t.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And this is how Tsunku answered:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8211; When you look at people, be they 1 year old or 10 years old, they have some personal energy and for someone like me in the industry where you do have to work with people&#8217;s <a title=\"Wiki\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Qi\" target=\"_blank\">Ki (= energy flow)<\/a>, you have to feel the energy with your intuitive sense. And it&#8217;s if a person has that kind of energy, that&#8217;s what I look for. And if I fail to find that in a person that I audition, that&#8217;s when I&#8217;ll be fired from this business.<\/em> [thanks to <strong><a title=\"whole transcript here\" href=\"http:\/\/www.intlwota.com\/2009\/07\/iw-ax-day-3-tsunku-qa-panel-transcript\/\" target=\"_blank\">maiZe<\/a><\/strong> for this part of transcript]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a rel=\"lightbox\" href=\"\/wp-pix\/koha_shouganai_04.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kakko-ii.com\/wp-pix\/koha_shouganai_04_t.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Tsunku&#8217;s aswer is clear and a bit metapsychical too. Most important criterions in auditions for him are not such as superiority in singing or good looks. It&#8217;s more about how he feels and what he feels. Intuitiveness that is. After reading the whole transcript of Tsunku&#8217;s Q&amp;A panel I respect him even more than before.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"lightbox\" href=\"\/wp-pix\/koha_shouganai_05.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kakko-ii.com\/wp-pix\/koha_shouganai_05_t.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So has our <strong>Miracle Girl<\/strong> answered to Tsunku&#8217;s expectations?
