From her mimicry and her interviews, it seems she was just your typical (mostly white) person obsessed with the Japanese culture.

What does Youtube provide but a way to create a character and personality one could be without repercussions? The attention she received was probably very flattering and she annoyed the paradoxical anonymity and adoration – she seems considerably more a fish out of water in the actual Japan, being called out on the fact that her appearance hasn’t been completely honest or that her japanese isn’t nearly so complete as her youtubes imply. To be honest, if you took your typical japanophile and put them in actual Japan, you’d probably get her.

But putting that aside, I disagree with the hate she’s seems to be receiving ever since the ‘real’ her came out in the interview. It’s a bit understandable, but I think it’s less indignation over being ‘duped’ and more just people crowing over someone pretty and adored being brought ‘low’. She’s still quite cute even with the longer face, she’s just a normal cute girl. I don’t think she ever explicitly pretended to be hot stuff, her youtube pics were just her 15 minutes of daydreaming, yea?

…I think I read somewhere that she’s supposed to be part of a viral marketing campaign for a Japanese horror movie. A lonelygirl15 of sorts, if you will.

Not gonna lie, her videos are super creepy. It’s her eyes O_O

I don’t know if she’s imitating the youtube thing that Jessica Alba did…the staring contest. Just my guess. Kids these days are just way too into themselves. heheh.

[...] and of her doing rather pointless things … at least it’s cute and not creepy like Magibon. [...]

I would have to say that i don’t know why she started or continues, but i know for a fact that japanese guys do like just watching the faces, so they can get comfortable with females and so on. it seems that there are a lot of japanese guys who are just too shy, and could use this. i would guess that’s why she’s really popular in japan.
