Another Youtube Celebrity?
It is very interesting to know that Japanese love to make homemade dancing videos. And recently, a 14-year-old British girl who lives in Japan, becomes so popular on the interent after posting videos of herself dancing to anime and Jpop songs on youtube. Her name is Beckii Cruel.
''Beckii Cruel's popularity is certainly a Japanese phenomenon. However, the word of mouth has spread also among those foreigners who are passionate fans of Akihabara and the otaku culture in general.'' commnted by Global Voices.
YouTube's popularity has led to the creation of many YouTube Internet celebrities, popular individuals who have attracted much publicity in their home countries (and sometimes world renown) due to their videos. Also, internet fame has led to unexpected results and, in some cases, crossovers into traditional media or entertainment avenues.
Beckii Cruel now even has an upcoming DVD called This is Beckii Cruel.
Feel free to leave your conmments :)
