Do you know Dakoda Rose, who has become worldwide sensation for her Youtube videos? In her videos she, who is a huge fan of Japanese culture, introduces her own twist of Japanese style makeup and fashion. She even spoke a fluent Japanese in the video in which she introduces “猫耳ヘア“. “今日のヘアスタイルは少し猫耳なんだから、すっごくかっこいいと思う“, that’s her Japanese in the video. Absolutely Kawaii, and informative??
Her berbie-doll-like looking stole attention from all over the world, and her youtube channel has already gained more than 10 millions views. She was introduced in Japanese TV “Zip!” on 5th Mar, as a next big thing.
It all started with Anime and Japanese Dorama, which made her hooked with Japanese pop culturein Shibuya or Harajuku. She started studying Japanese, reading through Japanese Magazines, and trying the hair arrangement or make up of Japanese high-school girl for herself. She’s already contracted with Japanese model agency, and gotten a lot of offers for ADs and TV shows.
The scout of her Japanese agency said “Because I think she has a talent to be a star, I sent a offer to her. She has a keen interest in Japanese culture, and speaks fluent Japanese, I think she can do variety of work in TV industry in Japan.”
About her career path, the scout said “We will start with TV or Paper media, but also planning to expand to other fields.”
It is heard that Dakoda Rose herself is very pleased to start her career in Japan. We are expecting her active involvement in Japanese scene.
With her beautiful looking, which even drew speculations that she would be a computer-generated image from some, plus fluent and cute Japanese, we will soon see a big impact she brings to the land of rising sun.
I think more suitable dub for her is Real-Life Final-Fantasy Girl… Since we all know people from other countries who really have a strong passion for Japan and Japanese culture is the great asset for the country (just like we foreigners are for America), if she loves Japan, there’s no reason for not supporting her. Hope her agency still allow her keep uploading youtube videos and introducing awesome things from Japan to the world.
