She's real, an advertising actress, but Panasonic have made her look as much as possible like a virtual idol (http://www.akadot.com/article.php?a=99). I suppose the subliminal message is 'Girls, get a digital camera and you too can become as perfect as a digital lifeform.'

Oh, hang on, it's not an advertising model, it's Ayumi Hamazaki (http://www.avexnet.or.jp/ayu/).

On some of the posters they even refer to her as a new version of Hamazaki, as if she`s been remodeled by the camera company. They show her from various angles, defying gravity, in the style of a product display. The first time I saw it was from behind. She was very shapely. The camera is at her side, so I guess she`s invading the product display and getting sliced up in its slide show.

Maybe this "new version" of Hamasaki is a reference to the fact that her freakish eyes were remodeled by a plastic surgeon? No wait, that's old news.

Momus, please comment on her music! Actually I'm curious to hear your take on J-pop in general. Pretty please!

I think the intent with her eyes is she wants to look perpetually like she's just about to burst into tears.

He processed singing pyrotechnics are very impressive and reinforce her unreal qualities. Your typical chosen for their image pop princess tends to wage a losing struggle with competent singing. So while she lacks the unhinged qualities af a true artist (say Jun Togawa) there's an element of marvel in her stuff
