Do you want to hear my really honest opinions about Maggie?
I think she's delusional. She is mental. I don't think she is acting that way, nor is it a joke.
I have long been silent about that because I was afraid of getting strikes on my Youtube.
I uploaded videos about Venus because I wanted to support a woman who is going to be a good advertisement for Nico Nico Douga. As I kept stressing on my main Tumblr, Nico Nico Douga's success means Japanese subculture's success.
Now I feel like it's ok to get three strikes by Maggie. I think I have gotten enough OKs from the best candidates for my ambition. The recruiting was almost achieved.
I don't regret failing to get Chobineko and Nekochii.
Chobineko is more interested in Airi and Hello Project, not so much in becoming an aidoru herself.
Nekochii is the only person who ignored my email. That's ok. There's a lot of fish in the sea.
Maggie is intelligent, but simpleton.
She has enough intelligence to install and tweak FME. She isntalled it after I've posted articles about it.
But she always seems to throw random assumptions to something which is unfavorable to her.
Don't get me wrong, guessing is a normal activity everyone does every day. One thing is missing from her guessing--she doesn't see her assumptions from different angles.
I wrote she is a simpleton. She always see something from one angle.
She thinks dansanohimitsu is run by Beckii. She thinks rantoseru is Marqual, just because the message written on her channel looks the same as the post written by rantoseru.
Maggie doesn't take the trouble to confirm they are the same persons by checking Marqual's YT and rantoseru's Tumblr. It's obvious they are different persons just by looking at their channels for 10 minutes.
It is time-consuming to manage a Tumblr. That alone crosss out the possibility that beckii couldn't have run the dansanohimitsu Tumblr.
I understand her feelings though. She and her daughter (VenusAngelic) are exposed to harrassing comments every day. Even before this xiaorisu-VA incident occurred.
This is what Margaret Palermo posted on her blogspot, February 9th.
This is Keekihime's reaction on her Tumblr.
Pix or it didn't happen!

WTF is this "pics or didnt happen" and "vids or didnt happen". If it works like this, I was never born!
Do you have any photos of your birth? But most of us own a Birth certificate, even Obama. Some very unlucky persons from poor countries or war territories often don't have a Birth Certificate. BUT THEY STILL EXIST.
If it needs a photo, then the most of us are virgins but I can make a photo of an illiterate, holding a book and "read it". You can manipulate people, letting them think, that you REALLY CAN read. Until one day in some situation you HAVE TO read - and you fail.
I know, photos are often manipulated. I know, even certificates are sometimes manipulated, it's unlawful but some unlawful things happen. What can we believe?
Can you believe your tummy/heart whatever body organ that transports your instinct?
That's difficult. We all know, that before turning in victims of a scam we had a strange feeling. Something like "it looks too good", or "wow, that's really strange to have this luck but let's take on it quickly". Or "he doesn't look like a business man, but he wears a suit and stuff like that" or "wow I get this phone totally free, how can the company afford to give free phones to everybody, well, not my problem, I just sign here and there, so great".
So yes, you should trust your instinct, but you have to know that 100% pure instinct doesn't exist, you always have some brain/mind in the story. So it is difficult.
If you have just a short time to decide, it is always a dangerous thing. Avoid such stories as possible. And if you have some more time, that's really good. What I prefer to have is something called: IMAGE. I think you can mostly trust the image of a person, product or company. I you read a lot about a great cream from which 50% of the users get an allergy, I don't think you say: "Give it a try!" No, you will avoid it. This is how advertising works: you say, that the product is good and try your best to build up a positive image.
So, an IMAGE is something you build up. But even if you work very hard, you will not be able to build up a fake image. Why? Because you have your footsteps wherever you go. And since the Internet doesn't forget, it will be very difficult/impossible, to clean up any mess.
I admire Beckii, because she has parents to tell her, not to pose in very short stuff. As a grown woman, I can tell you, that being sexy and being cheap is a HUGE difference.
And I can tell you, how some girls get views on NND and some get a lot of views. Talking? Hell, yeah. Talking about strong body2body relationships, demonstrating skills etc. Japan is openminded about sexuality, BUT not in a vulgar way. It would need a long blog entry to describe it and I don't feel like I should explain it.
An idol is somebody, who is clean and admirable. A dream girl. A girl giving you the hope of a pure future, but also full of optimism and energy, and full of true feelings. This is a huge difference of vulgarity or pedo pics of the Western. That is often a misunderstanding between Japan and USA/EU.
As a coach, I can tell all NND or other wannabe girls, that following stuff is very entertaining and of course people want to see it, but it is not ok. You should have a pure mind ... (have also a gif animation with a banane but I preferred to let it in the hidden part of this blog):
I have to tell you, that if you would like to work as an adult model, it is OK to do so on NND.
But if you want to be an idol, it's better you think twice.

Someone asked a question
How can I garner Japanese fans without using niconama live?
(1) If you are a dancer, let's find some memes and dance to them?
This isn't a meme, but I guess it was an extremely popular club music.
If you look out for Oricon Charts (オリコンチャート） you'll easily catch what music are popular in Japan now. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is all the rage now, so let's dance to her music.
AKB48
AKB48 is a social phenomenon in Japan. If you dance to it, you can count on viewcounts. Let's take precautions against copyright violation. They are tougher than H!P.
Compare these videos with their videos from the same periods. They got significantly more viewcounts.
(3) Learn Japanese
Learn Japanese and be fluent enough to make conversation without difficulty. Then,
(4) actively participate in chats with JP speaking people on Twitter. For that, you should
(5) follow a lot of people who speak Japanese. For that, try to find your potential fans and follow them. Find the same kind of persons as you are. Check out for their followers and the ones they are following. "Relevancy" is the key.
If you know how to use a bot/ or make a Twitter bot/ you could follow someone automatically. That's for advanced people. If you don't follow relevant people, it doesn't serve your purpose well.
(6) Make vlogs constantly, in which you speak to Japanese people in Japanese. That makes a huge difference.
My evaluation of Nina Seron skyrocketed because of this video:
It moved me to almost tears. It's not only her Japanese skills but also her emotions she put into her speech, and her facial expression that didn't look fake at all.
She even sent it to UPFRONT. You need this activeness when you want to become famous in Japan.
If I were Nina, I'd find the most appropriate and popular video regarding Tanaka Reina, and send her video as "Video Response".
Haristarchan made a dance video with a little speech in Japanese.
It's important! If you have a person you respect/ you got a lot of influence from, and announces she's retiring, let's make a vlog addressing to her. It's more important than making a cheap "Happy birthday" video.
This is Nina's vlog sending Happy Birthday to Reina Tanaka.
It was picked up by a user on 2ch category dedicated to H!P, and given a thread for this video. Isn't that why she has lots of JP fans?
If you care about your subs, why don't you take a little of bit of your time longer for your editting, and try to get a better thumbnail?
As of now, it's completely random which 3 thumbnail pics Youtube will choose for your video, unless you are partnered
(If you are, you can attach a pic for your video).
Let's make 3 videos. One video, as you'll usually make. Second, crop a milliseconds from the first video. Third, crop another milliseconds from the second.
Then upload the first video. If you didn't get a nice thumbnail, upload the second.
(8) Write your profiles in Japanese
It's important! Nina has her profiles in Japanese, like this.
Konnichipa!

Haristarchan removed her Japanese text from her profile. Why? She's going to lose her potential fans who speak Japanese.
While I was watching VenusAngelic's newest video, I realized something. She began to allocate the tags for her videos for Chinese speaking viewers!
From the words she used for the tags, it's obvious that she copied the tags from Kotakoti's videos.
This is the video.
These are the tags:
In addition to the ones she (or her mother?) copy&pasted from Kotakoti's videos, she added a few Chinese tags---though they are meaningless if they wanted to bring Chinese viewers to this video.
There are not many Chinese people who use Youtube in the first place...but nice try! There are billions of Chinese speaking people, so even a small portion amounts to great many!
From this pic you can see the tags used for Kotakoti's videos.
Ah, did you notice? Lemonkissu (Sachiecos) also copied Kotakoti's tags for two videos of her.
These are the videos:
This is the tags...she copied all the Chinese tags from Kotakoti's!
I think she said on Nico Nama that she can speak Shanghainese （＾ω＾）
Barbie doll/ doll/ make-up/ inflatable doll/ kawaii mixed blood girl/ Both Banks international/ Both Banks News/ inflatable doll/ popular in Korea
Come on, if you understand Shanghainese, why don't you add appropriate tags.
Disclaimer, I don't mean to discourage the copying of other famous people's tags. It's a good thing. I encourage young people who are aspiring for a star to do the same thing.
In order to become famous, you shouldn't be worried about how other people will think about these things. You need to do every possible effort.
If you are OK with sending a lot of friends invite indiscriminatingly to Youtube users, you shouldn't be afraid of how people will think just because some tags are similar to the ones of other famous people.
Don't be shy!
I believe Dakota Rose herself copied some tags from other famous people's videos. I believe she copied some tags from this video:
See? It seems obvious to me that Dakota Rose copied some of these tags from 王's video. (Accurately, from Newssite's video). They are Cantonese fonts.
If you want to increase your fans from Chinese speaking people, the best way is to upload your videos on their site: Youku-Tudou (优酷土豆) is the biggest. They are two separate sites---up to later this year. They will merge to become a mega motion picutre website.
Basically, Chinese people can't view Youtube...althouth there must be some ways to evade the block.
