Geminoid F, the name of the lady in the photos. If you still haven't heard of this name, then you must go to Cityplaza to take a look.

Who is she? She's a robot, a humanoid!


Honestly speaking, I don't quite think she lip-synched her song very well, her lips doesn't have enough movements, her hair is too wavy making her too mature with her Botoxed face.

I like her straight hair better when she was in Japan.





But she is THE MOST incredible robot on this planet EVER!!! So, you shouldn't miss this chance to see her now that she will be in Hong Kong until the 15th April! The most amazing part? You can almost touch her at close distance! Pay attention to her hands, they looks really real!
