SEGA's New Spokesmodel Is Cute!
So SEGA likes to have cute girls for its "Arcade Image Character," but this time around, their "image character" is much more appealing to our sensibilities! Jpop boy band member Haruma Miura is the first male "image character" hired to promote SEGA's arcades. (I love that his band's name is Brash Brats)
"Being photographed while gaming is a first for me," says Miura. "Initially, I was nervous, but gradually I relaxed and forgot all about that and just enjoyed the game. This isn't just work, it's also play... I don't really know what's best for me to do, but personally, I want everyone to know how much I enjoy game centers so they can see the appeal -- especially now [in this heat], game centers are refreshingly cool."
Sure, it might be a ploy by SEGA to lure more girls into arcades, but really all it's doing is causing a ruckus here at the castle as we all call dibs!

Well, he is definitely cute. The long knit vest things is a little strange though. lol
I'll be honest: I thought he was female when I first saw the photo. Cute, but in an androgynous way. I like my guys looking more manly.
BISHI!!!!
You know I saw other photos of him and I was reading about the females and now the male I thought it was the past female spokeman, but no it was him!
However, his warm and charming face do give Sega a friendly image though.
she is cute
I laughed when I read the title of the news was matching the first thought I had while looking at his picture.
He would have started in the porn industry, his comment could have been the same : “Being photographed while gaming is a first for me. Initially, I was nervous, but gradually I relaxed and forgot all about that and just enjoyed the game”.
