There’s something intensely interesting (yet contradictorily ordinary) about the story of a Western fan of Japanese pop culture heading over to Japan to themselves become part of the culture (or subculture) they idolise.
Beckii Cruel seems to be the latest entrant into this group. She started by dancing to J-Pop and anime songs on YouTube and is now the new face of Lotti Fit’s Gum:
It’s heart-warming… although a little creepy at the same time. I’m sure that it’s a dream come true for her, but she’s likely a sexual fantasy for many adoring fans. I suppose it’s no different in the rest of the world though.
Her dancing videos for Fit’s gum are fun and cute… I’m probably just a sucker for accessible dancing and colourful costumes. 😉
