Mabey she is more like an Ayu cover act, than an actual 'impersonator' but she definately does do this for a job, she is not just a random hime-gyaru.. even if you guys dont like her or think she looks like Ayu.. its just a fact..
There is nothing wrong with this, many people do this kind of thing as job, or a hobby, have you guys not seen Abba and Elvis cover acts before?
In any case i think on account of this, she has become a minor celebrity in her own right, i saw the other day on lolita brand Angelic Pretty's website that she has designed or has her name attached to a new range of dresses..
Anyway that was my input into the matter  |
I *still* wouldn't call it a job though. Does she actually make a lot of money out of dressing up as Ayu? I don't follow her blog but I just can't imagine her earning money from being Ayu. Saying she impersonates Ayu as a job is... well, like you said, she's a minor celebrity because she's a model and not because she impersonates Ayu. Her name is original and has substance to it on its own, so she's not Himeka - the Ayu impersonator. Ayu's name doesn't follow her name around, does it?
