She also eats cat faces*! How awesome is that.  :w00t:

Why do people like her?  I think there's probably different answers to that depending on whoever you ask.

Obviously she's cute.  Kind of childlike.  Not really sexual to me, not that I'm saying I wouldn't like to be her boyfriend or whatever.  But to me she is more cute and cuddly than anything. 

She's funny.  Even though I don't understand a word she says she makes me smile quite alot when I see her in a video or picture.  That's charisma and entertainment I guess.  It doesn't mean she's stupid, I can't say how intelligent she is but she does like to put on an act and wants to please, to entertain.  In another culture or time I wonder if she might have been a comedienne.

Related to the last point - she has personality.  How many female celebrities who started as models can you say have any kind of personality?  Probably not many.  Beyond the cute looks she isn't boring.  Blogs will go out of fashion, her looks will change...but she does have a lively [maybe inquisitive] personality.

She likes 80s pop music - well that's good too.  She likes some decent pop music then.

She's very active - blogging, singles, TV appearances.  She takes decent photos of herself quite often too.  Some might see this as self obsession but it is kind of modern.  And as she is very cute and funny this is actually good - because it means we get to see alot of her.   

The weird angle I think is overplayed.  Her attraction is that she is actually quite normal (not an aloof star but almost the girl next door - someone who people can relate to) yet charismatic.  The cat sucking and sniffing stuff I think isn't that important and maybe helped to get her noticed more initially but is a more a party trick which I guess will be dropped eventually.
 

PS this isn't my first post, I'm starry01492 - I just forgot what my login was.  :D

Are you talking to me?   :)

Guchi_Jnr actually asked only a few days ago what the attraction of her is.


Another thing I'd add is that she puts quite alot of effort into her vocal performances as well.  She just seems to be quite good at most of what she does because she puts alot of effort in.

I like that she's willing to post unflattering photographs of herself unlike a lot of bloggers. And she gets other people to make stupid faces in these pictures too.

Yeh that's part of her humour, and her humour is largely making fun of herself.

I saw this CM on the official Shokotan page and I'm very impressed!  :shocked: It sounds a lot like something that a more "serious artist" would sing rather than a gravure/blog idol...I can't wait to see the full PV!

In other news, here is a list of Japan's top 50 most-read blogs. Shokotan*Blog is #6  :D

There are also a lot of other celebrities' blogs on this list as well.

A long time ago I saw a picture of Shokotan eating the face of a cat. I didn't know who it was back then.

But now I discovered this thread  O0

That movie about akiba hero was funny.
She cosplayed like someone from neon genesis evangelion and tried to stand still like a doll. Which obviously failed after some time.
She makes fun of herself in a strange way. but I like it. All those pictures in her blog too  :w00t:
Her songs are catchy and fun to listen too. She's a real multi-talent.
What a picture spam. I can browse this thread for hours XD

btw: what happened to your shokotan veoh channel aedon ? Was it taken down due to copyright infringement ?

Yep. Not because of Shoko though.
