She had that prototypical bad right tooth that so many Japanese girls have... Wonder if she grew out of it or had it corrected by a dentist.

not sure how one can grow out of bad/misaligned teeth :headscratch:
but i've never seen any pics of her wearing braces.. never knew how far something like invisalign could go in correcting teeth alignment

also at 15.. that must have been quite soon after her mother had passed away

A baby tooth maybe?

That's what I was wondering.

braces for a little over a year fixed my bad teeth.. so, still a possibility

it's a good thing they had shots of the watches separately.. otherwise i wouldn't even have noticed them.. or even known that it was a commercial for watches

something about how Juri was selected to match the concept of 'elegant, smart, and shining'. worth a google translate as they're singing their praises : P

interesting thing.. translating the page within chrome seemed to give a better translation than copypasting into google translate

From the comments, it seems that Juri was asked about the rumours of her liking Fujimori Shingo (he's a comedian), but she did not hear the question properly and was frowning/straining to hear it. Her expression was mistaken to be that she was angry at the reporter for posing the question (the cartoon was added for "effect").

The comments defended Juri and said it's not true she showed a "black face" (Chinese for being angry/sulky), and that the reporter/media was making things up. Some even joked that maybe Juri was "kowai" to be linked with Fujimori, lol.
