Ummm if that looks real to you... identify one feature on that grey green moon. You do know that is NOT the color of the moon?
It is definitely grey in the video. The green tinge may be due to a filter the camera uses. Besides, LRO images that you are comparing them to are not
from a HD source or a HD motion camera like the Kaguya probe. Lastly, all the video you see from Kaguya is actuall footage that was released by Jaxa
in the press conference and then filmed from the screen by media channels making it of much much lower quality!

except when you watch the video the shadows on the craters never change in length... yet at one point the orbiter is at 'noon'
with the sun directly behind it, then it moves over the pole into the night side... At the terminator the shadows should be long... like they were in
the LO images... but they never change
The sun is actually to one side at approximately the 4'o clock position and both the Earth and the Moon are in a straight line to the probe- THAT is
why you see an Earth Rise and not a sunrise as the probe crosses the pole! As for the shadows, they are absolutely consistent because the length of
the shadow depends on the relative position of the light source and the observer. With an orbital probe like the case of the Kaguya the shadows do
extend at the terminus if you watch carefully but not as much as the earth due to the lack of an atmosphere.
To compare a moving video to a still image captured by LRO is absolutely ridiculous because both probes are capturing the images at different angles
from the sun at different orbits all together. No way you are going to get the same kind of images! That was the WHOLE point of the Kaguya probe!

Its not only me but NASA and the entire world except a few fruitcakes in America. The Earthrise was as real as it gets because it is absolutely
consistent with all the known data on the Moon. JAXA has even prepared an entire 3d elevation map of the moon from data collected by the Kaguya probe
which is available for peer review and their numbers have been verified independently and have located numerous mineral deposits.

Also, its not like their images can be easily faked because any fool can verify the featured with a telescope!
