It's certainly is an interesting name. I might do a bit of research behind it but I'm going to assume it's Japanese since it can be spelt with Japanese phonetics.

EDIT: Well if Dan was spelt with kanji then we should assume it's Japanese.

[Charlo]

by googling her real (?) name 壇はう (dan hau)

If found a bit more data:

Birthday: 7th november 1994
Bloodtype: 0

read more on wiki: http://ja.wikipedia....ia.org/wiki/壇はう

Dunno about her real name. But that stuff was already in the first post. Thanks though!

As for the rest of the stuff, I don't read Japanese.

Especially as Google translate said her name on the page was Creeping Dan. Hahahahaha

[Cio'24]

Her stage name is Dan Hau.

[fwapacha]

with haruna's lovely sense of style, i would love to see her granted an official blog. fashion checks, pleaaaseee!

[fy-smileage]

hey i got my wish!

a fashionable girl has joined morning musume!

new stylish girl in momusu now that Ai's leaving.

[Xīn Chūn (仮)]

I'm confused, why did she use a stage name, and when? Can someone explain...?? =/

[洋hiromi水]

I'm so happppppyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Haruna made it! HARUNA-CHAN FTW
sry >___< but I'm really happy. I liked her the most. She has something about her.

And oh yes, a fashion check blog, pleeease~
and a weekly "Tanaka Reina & Iikubo Haruna going shopping together!" (haha, dreaming).

now I can announce myself to an official Haruna fan.

[Syd]

I really wanted her to join Morning Musume. I am so happy that she did. Good thing she fills up the age gap.

[michi.K.O]

YAY! More people loving Haruna!!!

It would be great if she has a blog. But I don't think it'll happen anytime soon.

[Ain]

Congrats to her getting in! And she's just a year younger than me, so thank goodness. I don't know why I'm so relieved, lol.

[fwapacha]

yea, i'm not expecting the blog thing anytime soon. i'm sure that erina would be crushed if she wasn't allowed (a personal) one first!

when i first saw haruna, it was love at first sight! i was ecstatic when that picture of 10th gen finally loaded. i can't wait to see her interact with everyone!


(my infatuation is already reaching dangerous levels )

[Charlo]

Yay! So many fans.

It would be great if she has a blog. But I don't think it'll happen anytime soon.

it won't but that would be fantastic.

Iikubo Haruna is her REAL name. After my research it turns out no one knows why she used Dan Hau. :/ It could have been because she wanted to keep a more private life since she was young when she was using that stage name.

From Tsunku's Blog Post:

Ikubo Haruna - Has a surprising "pure" personality. And her looks (face) are gorgeous. I believe she has the determination to bring her singing to a suitable level. That is why she passed.

"And her looks (face) are gorgeous"

Damn right!

[ｍｉｃｃｈｉｐｙｏｎ☆]

OH YES <333

I'm happy that Tsunku added one older girl to MM ~
She's only one year older than me ~ :3
Looking forward to this girl.. :3

Iikubo Haruna- Has a surprising "pure" personality. And her looks (face) are gorgeous. I believe she has the determination to bring her singing to a suitable level. That is why she passed.

Ishida Ayumi- Her singing and dancing were outstanding. Also, her personality is as firm as a stone (a play on the "ishi" in her last name). I believe the history of Morning Musume can be passed on to her from here on out. That is why she passed. (Sounds like he has really high expectations of Ayumi! Based on this, I expect her to pick up some of Ai-chan's old lines)

Sato Masaki- The level of her dancing and singing is below the other three now, but she has a potential (literally raw ore) that she has yet to realize herself. Also, her skill level rose considerably during the audition. That is why she passed.

Kudo Haruka- She has experience as an egg, and she really loves singing. Also, the "gap" between her face and her husky voice is interesting (basically, she looks tiny and cute, but she has a deep voice, and that's unusual). I hope that she can help to bring together the 10th generation members and the current members as soon as possible. (I guess because she's in 10th gen, and she's worked with current MM in the stage play) That is why she passed.

^ Already posted. haha. But thank you anyway

[Momomochi]

OMG OMG OMG OMG *DIES* She was my favorite finalist and now new favorite in the top 10 I love this Haru-chan soo much and I can't wait to see performance with the rest of our girls!!!!

[PCC]

hmm. interesting pick. the older musumes who joined were historically neglected or saw poor sales/ranking. but since her resume looks similar to koharu, maybe h!p might get another million dollar hit maker... if an anime production could come up with something which would fit her to a tee.

[Erin.]

Yay! Congrats, Haruna-runa!
Out of all the 10ki, she's the one I'm happiest about. Finally an older girl to bridge the gap! I can't wait to see how she will develop her skills!
