Don't know who is this girl? Basically, she's Japan's equivalent to Beyonce and Angelina Jolie combined! Movie star, TV star, singer, model, the whole shebang! I think the Western world should know about her. go to these places for extensive database of pics and info: http://kou-shibasaki.nihon-zone.com/ - http://kou-shibasaki.nihon-zone.com/ http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/kou_shibasaki_fandom/?yguid=236147470 - http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/kou_shibasaki_fandom/?yguid=236147470 http://kou-shibasaki.actifforum.com/ - http://kou-shibasaki.actifforum.com/ (you have to sign up to be able to view the forums, but it's so much worth it!) and here for videos: http://www.veoh.com/search.html?search=kou+shibasaki&numResults=20&action=search&fromSearchForm=fromSearchForm - http://www.veoh.com/search.html?search=kou+shibasaki&numResults=20&action=search&fromSearchForm=fromSearchForm http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=search_videos&search_query=kou%20shibasaki&search_sort=video_date_uploaded&search_category=0 - http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=search_videos&search_query=kou%20shibasaki&search_sort=video_date_uploaded&search_category=0 Anyways, since several years, I'm obsessed with her hair. Check out her pics and you'll see why! I do not know if it was real or extensions - if the latter, then they're extremely well concealed (for six years I wore extensions, so i know that it is difficult or impossible to disguise them when you wear certain styles)- and if anyone can tell, then please say. Hope that you like! ------------- *~!wa-ah-ow!~* |

No problem :) She's such a megastar in Japan yet the Western world mostly is ignorant of her existence, which is a shame. I hope that within the next few years probably this will change! ------------- *~!wa-ah-ow!~* |

chose to reply rather than to edit, because this thread has only two replies and so I thought instead to post some pics! Enjoy!                       ------------- *~!wa-ah-ow!~* |

I saw a mix bag long and short wasn't sure if she used fake hair. http://kou-shibasaki.nihon-zone.com/ it was that site that had the mixed bag. ------------- Few men are killed by the bayonet;many are scared by it.Bayonets should be fixed when the fire fight starts.General George Patton Jr.,War As I Knew It,1947. |

from 2000 to 2006 she had long hair (I don't know whether extensions or real), then in 2006 she had a long mullet style, then in April got a bob. Since then, it's grown a lot and is again shoulder length. She may have had extensions again, I don't know.

 Thank you for posting all the sensational photos, Pocky. But IMO, she is a *former* "queen of gorgeous hair". Her stiff, shortish curly perm featured in one of the NEW galleries at her site is especially unimpressive. But I'm glad that you introduced her here, anyway. I'm sure that most Americans are unaware of her. Best, Bob

ah yes, alas, I decided not to mention that she cut her hair. However, even though I prefer when her hair was long, it is still gorgeous as short also.

Sorry Pocky, the layered shoulder cut is mundane and blase, and it makes me wonder why she chose to do this. I'm sure that no one wishes to be known only as a hank of splendid hair, but it does get one noticed when one is in entertainment. Yours, Bob

I envy Asian hair. It tends to grow so quickly and due to the amount of cuticle layers, it can take a hell of alot of dying. |

Thanks . Been working loads of hours and getting stuff sorted for college. Didn't really bother much with hair for a while but I missed this place.

Exactly. I'm so much envious of it too. Bleach it continually, add heavy duty extensions, wear falls for like 12 hours, swim every day...and absolutely no damage whatsoever!! Oh, to have Asian hair!!  ------------- *~!wa-ah-ow!~* |

hmmmm i wonder!  Whatever the case, she rocks long hair, whether real or fake. ------------- *~!wa-ah-ow!~* |

Well it's that time of season again; shamelessly bumping for anyone who isn't aware of this girl's existence  . Oh, and she's sporting a new hairdo too lol! Either her hair grows incredibly fast or she's wearing extensions (in the last pic there is no question about it, but as for the others I'm not sure) , it is unknown. Regardless, as a lover of long hair, so long as it's long (i think i need a thesauras here), whether real or fake, to me it still looks good! Latest pics (apologies for the size of some of them), hope you like!     ------------- *~!wa-ah-ow!~* |

| I think this is a good look. The length was looking too much for those rather severe bangs. |

Glad you like it FM... I don't mind long hair+bangs, but to each their own The long bob is a great look, and completely suits her, but always I prefer her hair long...Ok I'm biased lol  Sorry for the double post btw; wasn't intentional. ------------- *~!wa-ah-ow!~* |

Shameless bump! Slightly sleeker style, and colored tips.. Daring but not too much. Any thoughts?
