Ah, headphone joshi! We don’t know what it is about them, but we’re huge fans of girls with headphones here at RocketNews24. I mean they’re basically just head-mounted speakers, and I personally always look completely stupid with a pair resting on my bonce for some reason, but when placed on the head of a young Asian girl something magical happens.
This young lady, though, has something extra special about her. Any ideas?
It’s amazing what a bit of make-up and a wig can do, isn’t it?
Yup, courtesy of our friends at Niconico, we’re bringing you another Friday video that’s sure to raise a few eyebrows. We swear, if we hadn’t seen the video’s title or caught the first minute or so, we’d have wondered why this pretty young “lady” would bother posting a video of herself just brushing her hair and waving at the camera…
The next time you see a pretty headphone joshi on the street, check to see if she has an Adam’s apple.
