The daughter of a policeman and a dance instructor, Rebecca is thought to be popular because she has big eyes, a small face and slender limbs – similar to the cartoon characters.
There is much more at the link, including videos. The upshot is this:
Rebecca, from the Isle of Man, first came to attention on YouTube where millions watched her dance to J-Pop (Japanese pop music) and the theme tunes of anime cartoons.
She appears in hundreds of clips dressed as Japanese cartoon characters.
Her new album is expected to go straight to number one in Japan. For the pointer I thank LongTermGuy.
There is something Not Quite Right about those videos.
The Daily Mail’s stock in trade is to scare people about the Other, including paedophiles, while also providing them with salacious articles about under-age girls.
“Someone please feed that poor girl.”
Her legs are on the slender side, but only a middle-aged woman could fail to appreciate how cute she is.
Men eventually outgrow the violent impulses of their adolescence, but women never mature beyond the envious, catty attacks on attention-deserving girls that they practiced in high school. At least these days they’re civilized enough not to contract a woodsman to cut out the pretty young thing’s heart.
Osamu Tezuka, the father of anime, got his inspiration from Disney( They in turn based their Simba on Tezuka´s Kimba).Imitating Disney , he drew his characters with big eyes. Disney drew big eyes to save ink. Big white eyes attract little children. They have success by accident . So they continued doing it and made a brand on that. The japanese custom has a western origin with no complex involved
“I can’t make the connection.”
Analytical thought minus the politically correct.
I don’t think Yancey Ward is a middle-aged woman.
Andrew, is that like the saying about the sucker at the poker table?
HC: if you think that a 14 year-old girl dancing to a pop song is pornography, I think it is you who has the problem.
Looks to me more like the culture that is England (or Manx).
