So Emily still has Japanese followers here on this board. Why? I guess it's because they use Emily to make money. They keep close watch on this thread and try to remove anyone that might disgrace her.
>>236 Have you ever tried Okonomiyaki? It's like pancake, but it's not sweetened. And Takoyaki tastes like it, but it's shape is round and sliced tako is inside it. I'm 110% sure you'll like it.
I don't hide who I am, unlike most people in this thread (except yuji perhaps), and I'm not saying anything untrue or necessarily slanderous. I've been completely consistent the whole time, and I'm surprised anyone would want me to leave when I know way too much about Emily, who some of you are superficially devoted to in somewhat creepy ways. If there's no crime, don't treat me as if I were a criminal.
>>245 Noooo! Please count me out from "anyone". And as I said, there must be someone that uses her to make money like, I'm not sure, stickam staff members? This is just a guess. I can't prove it since they are anonymous too. lol Anyways, keep posting.
>>250 There is no doubt within me Stickam staff are/were trolling 2ch to promote her. I base this on the fact that Ben (Stickam employee) asked why I was posting my negative experiences with Emily here, which tells me they are/were watching these sort of threads.
I know some 2ch users think yuji is connected to Stickam but then I'd have to assume he has a job...
>>263 No worries, it's a very easy assumption to make. Emily and I shared a bed when we were in Japan, and throughout the entire day around Tokyo we were holding hands - how can I blame you? We weren't boyfriend-girlfriend, just very close friends, but of course it never looks that way. Of course I wouldn't have wanted to date her, but there were times she did propose that...
I think Magi is popular because she appeals to the popular Japanese sense of "cute" without being Japanese herself. She has the best of both worlds - foreigner appeal but a glow of cuteness that Japanese males find comfortable and fitting.
>>276 But that was an act to look and act Japanese to appeal to a Japanese audience. To me, it's as if she's imitating a "cute" Japanese girl, because other than those videos she doesn't talk or act that way at all.
In retrospect, Stickam was not so well-known to even 2ch'ers when Emily caught attention from them. "If someone like her host a live, then lots of 2ch'ers will come visit Stickam". That's what marketing staff of Stikcam woulda thought of.. And yeah, they were right. As they expected, hundreds of us were actually there. But they didn't know they opened Pandora's box...
>>285 Because Emily was popular on YouTube, they figured they could get that Japanese "e-audience" if she held lives when they told her to (and paid her a lot). Where else would they go other than places like 2ch?
>>272 To be truthfull, I don't think her popularity now depends on non-Japanese viewers, I mean, sure, Japanese males have watched her videos. In fact she has her fan threads here, but the increase in the number of her viewers is not dependent on Japanese. Most comments are posted by Americans, or at least english-speakers.
>>292 Even then the vast majority of her American fans are weeaboos, which I suppose is fine itself (fans are fans), but it's too niche to think she's some sort of celebrity, in my opinion. That's the only part of it I think is ridiculous and without reason for her to flaunt that as she does.
And I have to admit that Japanese people (well, not all, of course) are kinda like vulnerable to Japanese-speaking cute females. lol Well, as i'm a Japanese, i understand why. We, I mean, at least, I used to think japanese was a unique language in the world and it was tough to teach oneself Japanese. So those who bother to learn it should be treated nicely. That's sorta weird, isn't it?
>>306 Not at all weird, I think it's very respectful and admirable for someone to learn a language like Japanese on their own. I know when I travel overseas and people try their best to speak English to me, I'm very thankful and appreciative, just as I try to learn enough of theirs to keep me out of trouble.
>>310 You are an understanding & well-balanced guy. Probably learning another language will help you become more objective like looking at things from many aspects. :)
ライブするのはいいかもしれないけど・・・ Still I'm hesitant about people watching me only because of the Emily drama - I don't want to be popular for that, to be honest. 自分は面白くないので、ライブする理由は何だろ?答えてください。
>>369 It only has to speak the United States usually. A usual thing for you is considerably different for Japan. The Japanese is expecting it of man who lives mostly in the foreign country.
>>431 I'm not that innocent. As young as I am, I've seen and done a lot of things; even if that weren't so, I'm mature enough to understand and take responsibility for my choices. Thanks for your concern, though.
>>427 I don't think so. There's nothing mentally unhealthy to be here.
Nick, can I share my thought with you? Who'd want you to leave from this thread? I suspect that he thinks he'd get in trouble if you keep visiting here since you know much about her. So I suppose it's him (I'm sure you know who I mean).
But it's not fair to try to keep you away from this thread this way.
>>434 Yeah, I understand quite well that some here are wary of having the truth and real nature of Emily be exposed here. Thank you for your support and advice.
I feel really suspicious. At first, he tried to talk you into going. Then, he noticed that didn't do the trick. And now he tries to speak to you a lot so that he can make you too busy answering his questions (which have nothing to do with her) to talk about Emily. It's nunatural. But that must be the only choice he's left. lol
>>453 Emily isn't skinny, but relative to the average American girl, she isn't fat. I'm sure compared to Japanese girls she is, because she's also very tall (my height). Emily has a tummy and fat on her body, but I think that's just her natural genetics because she's more of a "bigger" girl - especially if you see her up close.
I'm quite thin myself, so I may get offended if someone thinks I don't eat and/or have a drug habit...
Well done Sepahan. Sepahan proved that they can probably make the semi's with their talent. Urawa is garbage team. No worry.
By the way, the Japanese fans are very impolite. -------------------------------------- Nice game by sepahan. I really hope we destroy Reds in front of the slanted-eye monkeys. I hate those japs, they were booing us all time!!
She is the BLOG Queen of Japan(gravure idol)KAWORI MANABE She said. "2-chaners are lonely and they dont have friend.They can not go out(by his mind or looks ploblem).. This Board rampaged not going to let them out of pity people." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6Kjn_mx_LU
Don't take it personally, but honestly, I don't think Emily is SO popular among Japanese people as you thought she would be, Nick. Sorry about that.
Seemingly, (or actually) she's got big on youtube, but it's mostly because English speakers subscribe to her vlogs. What I'm saying is, her popularity depends hard on them, not on us Japanese. Take a look at her J-blogs. It'd show evidence that she's not most read among Japanese.
English speakers like Americans are making a big deal about her like she's a silly weeaboo, but in Japanese communities she's no more than a Japanese- speaking blogger. No more, no less.
And as I see it, it's an absurd notion that she will move to mixi. What makes her interesting to watch is that there are many non-J people that exchange their opinions, and that there're haters of hers. Yeah, that's exciting to watch. But she doesn't seem like it the way it is, does she?
In a nutshell, Emily no more posting on youtube means she's not an attention grabber any more.
That's all. Sorry if I offend you by my honest opinion.
There's nothing offensive about that, but thanks for posting that in English for me. I've said a million times her fanbase is mostly Americans, so your assertion mirrors my rhetoric I've shared before.
If she's not posting on YouTube anymore (I'd love real confirmation), that's even better than Xmas for the rest of the internet.
>>841 So you are one of such supporters, Nick, despite the fact that you've been acting against Emily's weeabooish deeds. That's ironic, isn't it?
I'm not confident whether the info that Emily will appear on American TV is true, but if it's true, she's supposed to become a celebrity thanks to haters. As is often the case with mass media, all they want is "audience rates" and Emily can draw attention from both sides, her fans and haters, most of whom are actually Americans.
You can guess from the decreasing number of posts in the past few days after the new ID system was introduced here, "how popular" Emily is in reality in Japan, can't you?
I suspect this is what Emily wanted from the begining. She instinctively knew she could become famous in America. by appealing to Japanese internet users. She's so smart (or shrewd and foxy). lol
>>841 Nick, I understood everything. It is the beginning. She tries to make the best use of any situation. It is from an unskilled reason. Therefore, only the reaction of his fan was the enjoyment.
>>863 lol I think you're giving a bit too much credit if you want to imply this was all her plan figured out from the beginning. In America, we look at car wreck celebrities because we like seeing them destroy themselves on their own. In Emily's case, it'd be perfectly sound for her to be famous over here, but personally I couldn't be satisfied with my own life if I were well-known for being hated. I can't imagine the satisfaction reaped from that at all, but for some people, attention matters more than dignity, modesty, and even talent.
I also figure and know that competition for fame in America is a fierce, vicious competition. Unless there's a mesmerizing reason, you have to work at the bottom for a while, and even then it takes a plethora of luck and market demand. Entertainment in America comes down to money, period; I can't imagine what Emily would be doing beyond the net because she's not TV-attractive, nor is she genuinely "special" among other girls who are more than likely better at everything she does or tries to do. There's not a substantial market for a gimmicky white girl that speaks Japanese in America except to the niche anime geek crowd - that's why all the biggest Japanese acts and musicians have to tie themselves with anime conventions just to get a venue, except perhaps Dir en grey (although they credit Western interest to anime fandom). So, with that said, I wish lots of luck to Emily. If she thinks she can be famous in America for speaking novice Japanese and not much else that makes her stick out, it would have to be subsided only to the internet which is just "e-fame" that only the YouTube and 4chan/weeaboo crowd would notice. Unless her rich dad buys her way into the business with money and connections as he's tried to do...
Things are not so different in the showbiz industry of Japan where competion is concerned, though I think what it takes to be successful as talent in the Japanese market is how strong and influential the agency he/she works for is. I don't think most of them are talented and gifted.
Usually, non-Japanese girls don't have a big market and strong demand in Japan; Leah Dizon is an exception. She looks sort of asian since one of her parents is asian, which makes Japanese people feel some kind of affinity for her (no doubt she got known to people online by letting us see her nude photos, though). BUT Emily looks totally and completely caucasian outside and she is perfectly American inside. You know what I mean. The way she's behaved, how she's expressed herself, and how she looks, kind of self-centered (just to clarify, not so many americans are selfish, I know that)... Anyways, all those things are far from what most Japanese males expect girls to have - I don't deny some people like Emily-ish girls, though they are minority. By this I mean, she belongs to America. So you should talk her out of dreaming to live in Japan, Nick. I'm deffinitely sure she would feel disappointed at the fact that Japan is no utopia for her.
*Just to make sure, I know there are American people whose preferences in life are suitable to Japan - milder and a little bit more gentle. So don't feel bitter please. I'm talking about Emily.
>>893 I've shared my thoughts on this before, and since Emily reads my blog, she understands what myself and others have shared that she isn't going to be a variety show idol or Jpop star by any means. Unlike Paris Hilton or Cameron Diaz, who are popular and/or have modeled in Japan (to my knowledge), Emily isn't a Hollywood beauty or the best sort of girl to market as an American/foreigner gimmick. It just doesn't make sense, and sadly for her, she should understand she isn't going to pioneer a new triend; she can't expect to be a Japanese celebrity just because she expects everyone to treat her like she's better than the other girls that have that sort of ambition. She isn't, and if she were I'd concede so because I like to be consistent in my rhetoric. I wish she'd just move to Canada or something, but I suppose there aren't enough Japanese people there to impress. Maybe she can take up Mandarin and go to Vancouver instead.
However, it isn't my place to give her advice, she'll learn on her own once she grows up. The real world is hard enough, but the entertainment industry is ruthless. She's so lazy anyway, she doesn't even have any sort of experience, portfolio, or genuine work in that area she could at least say she applied. Going to auditions or applying at agencies is something else altogether, considering how dramatic and ridiculous she acts over nothing (see AIM logs), she wouldn't even have the mental or mature capacity to handle that sort of thing. I almost feel bad for her, but then I remember she's a bitch.
>>894 >she can't expect to be a Japanese celebrity just because she expects everyone to treat >her like she's better than the other girls that have that sort of ambition. This is exactly what I think. Just because tens of Japanese followers of hers say good things about herself doesn't mean most of us have the exact same idea.
I've just read some of your past posts in your thread, Nick. And just as I thought, she bragged to you when some J males make a donation (or simply gave her money to her. They should've known that would encourage her to get lazier. It was when she got those money that she started biting more than she chewes, i guess.. I'd call it pathetic to ask around for money like that..
>>895 Well, just recently I discovered she openly asked for money and gifts in one of her YouTube videos, which is why she got a PO box address. I'm sorry but anyone who panhandles and begs on the internet for free shit has zero class and is a prostitute - one with STDs, coincidentally...
But you're right, that's where it all went downward for her. I wasn't too interested in what she did on YouTube, so I was sort of naive about it, but I did notice she started to change in a bad way. She used to be an open and somewhat sweet girl with a tendency to be a drama queen and made a lot of shit up (normal teenage girl), but I was her friend because I thought she cared about me too. From there she just became extremely arrogant and obnoxious about the whole thing, almost as if she sold her soul to get e-attention.
As for her "followers", I had the opportunity to look through her YouTube messages while she was logging in for whatever, and although she had a lot, they were *ALL* literally "Hi how did u lern japanees", "Konnichiwa applemilk o-genki desuka", or "can u teach me lol". I don't believe, I actually know her "fans" are just teenage weeaboos who thinks she's fluent in Japanese (lol), and in Japan it seems like there are very few, huh?
>>897 Very thought-provoking.. It's like "tengu ni naru" in Japanese. The expression is used to discribe an arrogant person who used to be honest and gentle because he/she got a fame or sort of successful. As you might guess, it's a negative expression.
Concerning what you call weeaboos, they are fine with me, since they just love Japanese stuff, don't they? Is there a difference between those who are interested in Japan and weeaboos? I don't think it's good to speak bad about people just because they like J stuff - J pop or manga or whatever.. I suppose Emily is unpopular because she is an attention whore, isn't that right?? Put me right if I'm mistaken.
>>898 Weeaboos are different, and are more equivalent to "otaku" except devotion to the stereotypes and shallow aspects of a culture instead of anime and whatnot. They do nothing but talk about Japan, defend any and everything to do with Japan, buy Japanese shit for only that reason, want and wish to be Japanese, only date (or wish to date) Japanese men or women, learn Japanese for the sake of watching anime, and the others are left to misuse "KAWAII!" and "SUGOI!" while they speak English.
The other aspect is that weeaboos are very pretentious and competative with each other. If Japan was responsible for the Holocaust they would defend it somehow... it goes on and on.
To many of us on the internet, being an attention whoring, panhandling, and especially obnoxious /untalented weeaboo is criminal. The only ones who don't think so is Emily and other weeaboos.
A,ll I,m saying is acting,s so will-o-the-wisp. Those that have it know it right off To purpose it you don,t wont to admit defeat to friends buck home is,frankly unrealstic.
>>903 Thanks for the explanation, Nick. I understand.
To be honest, I'm of two minds about this weeaboo thing, though. If there were a Japanese obssessed with China and he/she blindedly agreed with anything to do with the Communist party, I would feel bitter.
But I can't be unfriendly with those interested in Japanese stuff at the same time. (Emily is obviously arrogant. What she wants is a fame and money in a bad way. And according to one of the posts on your LJ, she even ignored most of her guests in her live on stickam. So I exclude her from this, though. )
I can't/shouldn't identify others with Emily. Do you think weeaboos are all arrogant? I need a little more time to organize my thoughts.
I have no idea what people see in Emily, though. Nick, technically, you used to be with Emily. What was your idea like about her before she showed her true color?
>>972 It wasn't that I came to see her true colors when we went to Japan, it was that she had changed as a person the months before then. Before making YouTube videos, she was modest, shy, ambitious and humble about learning Japanese, and a problematic person with her heart in the right place. Afterward, she just seemed to lose every small thing good about her in the trail left behind in her obnoxious cloud trail as she ran toward the days that came.
More than anything, it was the way she changed toward our friendship that hurt me the most, I suppose. Even days before the trip she'd lament how much she loves me, is more excited to go with me to Japan than actually go there, and can't wait to see me. Of course it's easy to say it was just a manipulative thing to say, but it was something she had kept repeating vaguely over the years. To me it was a very brutal betrayal, because it's as if everything we valued about our friendship was thrown away and spit on just so she could have the apartment and time to herself to do what she wants in Tokyo without having to mind me. I'm over it now, but when I remember the things she said in Tokyo, the way she said them, and the way she didn't hesitate to do what she could to get rid of me, it has me feel kind of foolish for trusting a person like her. I was a little naive but noticed the way she turned into a different person leading up to the trip, and I regret that I couldn't save our friendship if I had realized those things.
>>976 I'm sorry to hear that, Nick. Though I know less about her than you do, - I mean, all we know about her is after she started posting videos on youtube at best - she seems really incoherent. She said she wanted to be a singer, actress, or whatever. I'd say nobody in the right mind would be like that.. Betraying other people's trusts in a gratuitous manner is horrible.
I'd never ask you what kind of slander or cursing words she used, but anyway I feel sorry for you. She will hurt yet more people without even knowing it (or probably she knows it). She lost what people should have. Greed for reputation (and money?) made her ugly inside.
