Himeka Shirosaki: a question point

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I think if she wants fame she should create her own identity instead of stealing/imitating someone elses. Especially if that someone is our dearest Ayu.

Actually i follow her blog, and as for these people saying she is not an Ayu impersonator.. well i have seen on her blog and around the net that she performs and does concerts singing Ayu's songs and dressing like her, it seems to be her job.. does that not make her an impersonator? 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

Reading some articles here and there in the web it seems that after quitting modelling for Ageha she has made impersonating Ayu her own work..anyway that's only my feeling about it, maybe i'm going wrong

but, looking at her blog, it seems that she's really Ayu-aholic..and maybe it isn't so strange..mostly if I think how many times I went to the hairstylist asking for Ayu's haircut or buying something just to feel into ayu-mood.

Who doesn't want to live Ayu's life? Personally, I would love to

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?

Impersonators actually can make a lot of money.

They're hired for the events the perform at, usually through a talent agency that specializes in that field.

You wouldn't dress up as someone, go out and perform as them, act like them for hours, and not get paid, right?

Think of it this way. Hiring an impersonator is much cheaper than hiring the actual person. It also gives people who are unable to see the real thing an alternative that is very similar. It's not nearly as negative as some would think.

I go to her blog every once in a while and I notice that she also puts on shows that aren't centered around Ayumi.


Regarding her eyes: If she actually followed the correct lining of her lower lid she would have normal eye structure. She's applying her make-up poorly and someone near her needs to tell her so. Poor thing.

Also her hair pieces look to be synthetic which is pathetic.
