Post your comments about our Beckii Cruel Interview and let us know what you thought of her.

“Keep trying hard! I was shown that my dream was achievable, so never think the impossible can’t happen.”- Beckii Cruel

Once upon a time a teenage girl hit on the idea to record herself dancing to Japanese pop music and upload the videos to the internet. Nothing unusual about that — teens post their best dance moves for everyone to see all the time. But after the view count of this particular teen’s videos rose up into the millions it was becoming clear that there was something very special about her. Hailing from the Isle of Man, Beckii Cruel has found a way to naturally capture the kawaii spirit that Japanese culture so adores.

Now the subject of a BBC documentary and singing her own original songs in Japan, Beckii Cruel still manages to keep a level head about her unexpected internet celebrity status, saying: “I get lots of emails asking about the best way to become famous. I have to tell them that I don’t know, because I didn’t go looking for it. I would just say to everyone, enjoy what you do, and don’t hang everything on a wish to be famous.”

On September 5, 2010 Beckii Cruel was kind enough to give an interview to J-Pop World. Beckii Cruel Interview.
