What are the differences between Keekihime and Beckii?

Keekihime recently became an aidoru in Japan.
Beckii (Cruel) used to be an aidoru for half a year.

What are the differences between these two girls?

(1) Beckii's debut was a windfall, while Keekihime earned it.

(1-1)

Beckii uploaded her dance videos. I don't think she made efforts to become aidoru or anything. She was not going to become one in the first place.

Keekihime wanted to become H!P type aidoru. I guess she wanted to be part of it.
Besides aidoru, she liked anime and cosplay.

She began to study Japanese. She watched videos on Youtube, wrote articles on ameblo (I don't remember if she also wrote Mixi), used Skype often, tweeted a lot. In other words, she interacted a lot with her fans in Japan.

And she set up her community on Nico Nama. She instantly became a popular Nama Nushi (broadcaster).

Now her community has almost 25,000 members.

About a year passed, and she came to Japan to contact agencies.

Earlier this year, she became a member of aidoru group Tone Jewel.

Granted, she's done some controversial things and had some problems with people.

She won the title アイドル. She earned it by efforts.

She may not be a top aidoru, still it is an aidoru. By definition, she is a professional who is admired by her fans.

Before she became an aidoru, she WAS a person whom a lot of fans admired.

There was a thread on 2ch dedicated to her, in which one or more of her fans wrote admiring comments each time Keekihime posted her pic on her Twitter.

She was a person who had admiring fans before becoming an aidoru. She was an aidoru before even becoming an aidoru.

(1-2)

What about Beckii? She was a lucky girl. She posted her dance videos on Youtube. They became popular on Youtube.

A former producer with Fuji TV found her. He made her a star, with barely training for becoming aidoru.

He brought along two accompanying girls, one from UK, one from France, and put together an aidoru group. Japanese people viewed their music video.

They found it lame. Mucic was 翼を下さい (Give Me Wings), which Japanese students often sing for chorus cotests.

And they found the two accompanying girls, especially the French one, were so obasan.

Some thought Beckii herself was not so cute as they had seen on Youtube. They thought here was another Magibon (i.e., "disappointment").

Beckii's aidoru period lasted half a year.

Still I can't help considering it as a great event in the history of entertainment industry in Japan.

Before Beckii, there had been no one who became aidoru through just uploading her videos on Youtube.

If the former Fuji TV producer didn't find her, Beckii wouldn't have been Beckii now.

She owes her success to him.

What has Beckii kept saying?

She's kept saying the producer is an insincere man who deceived her.

We've read only Beckii's side of the story. What was the reality like?

I don't know, but this much is certain. She was a lucky girl. Some able man found her and made her a star. She turned out to be talent-less and her looks was not so impressive, so her fans abandoned her. Her aidoru period lasted only half a year.

Beckii almost made us believe it was all due to the former producer's fault.

There must have been some complicated issues which haven't even been disclosed.

Beckii, after her aidoru period, became successful as a singer in UK. Wasn't it possible only because she had attained aidoru status, even if it was short-lived?

ベッキーの勘違い

I haven't checked Beckii's Tumblr these several months, so I browsed it.

Beckii thinks she is still "aidoru" now.

I'm not saying this because she is part of Oishii Project, but quite honestly, she is done.

No one in Japan thinks she is aidoru now. The aidoru period of her lasted only half a year.

This is the Q&A on her Tumblr.

do you consider yourself still an idol? are you going to be producing any songs, or work in japan. Or are you done.

I’m not done, I’ll take what work comes my way :3 I’m not quitting officially if there’s the chance that something cool would come along a week later! It’s always the way.

JP people's reaction when they saw the real face of Dakota Rose

Let's see what people on 2ch (the biggest message boards in Japan) were saying when they saw Dakota Rose on Japanese TV programs.

The title of the thread is, "Real Barbie aka. Dakota Rose is not what she's cracked up to be".
