Different place different result

MC Assignment (D L)  (W 8) (Q 7) (3/8)

Q:  Explore the definition of 'celebrity' in Malaysia and compare with another culture of your choice, choosing relevant examples to illustrate your argument.


From what I have mention last article, today I gonna do the comparison for celebrity in our own country Malaysia and Japan and both celebrity I choose is under from the singer industry because if compare those celebrity that from different industry was quite unfair to one of these in the following article.

The celebrity that I chose from Malaysia is Siti Nurhaliza binti Tarudin that all malaysian knew about her from her fame and achievement in the music industry; and from Japan celebrity in music industry that i choose is Kiriko Takemura or be well know as Kyarypamyupamyu in the industry career.




For our beloved DIMP.Siti Nurhaliza binti Tarudin, when she was back there in her young life, she been sang for event for gathering or wedding ceremony because of her family business and house income resources but she keep practice and participation in any song competition and  she finally competed in the 1995 RTM Bintang HMI competition where she auditioned with a song made famous by Ruth Sahanaya, and that the start line of her greatest career to world know celebrity. But actually she was becomes famous in Indonesia first instead in her own country,she been score few well know achievement basically from the oversea like 1999 Dec the event "Shanghai Asia Music Festival 1999" push her to the high top of her career for that time. After she become famous in oversea, she been giving the DIMP title by Malaysia and be call the bright star in Malaysia music industry.




And for the celebrity that I choose from Japan, Kyarypamyupamyu  started as a fashion blogger, and then began her professional career as a model for Harajuku fashion magazines such as Kera! and Zipper. After achieving a measure of fame, Kyary collaborated with the Eyemazing company to produce a line of fake eyelashes called "Harajuku Doll". She also began appearing in local fashion shows.
Kyary explained her stage name in a Japanese MTV interview. Wearing blonde wigs as a fashion affectation in high school, a friend began calling her "Kyari" because she embraced Western culture and seemed "like a foreign girl". The name stuck. Upon starting her blog, she felt the name "Kyari" — a phonetic Japanese spelling of the Western name "Carrie" — was too short, and "missing something". She added "Pamyu Pamyu" because it sounded cute. She states her full stage name as "Caroline Charonplop Kyary Pamyu Pamyu" (きゃろらいんちゃろんぷろっぷきゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ Kyarorain Charonpuroppu Kyarī Pamyu Pamyu).
In April 2011, along with Japanese fashion editor and photographer Yasumasa Yonehara and Japanese (fashion?) brand 6%DokiDoki, Kyari Pamyu Pamyu participated in the charity event "One Snap for Love" to benefit victims of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
In July 2011, Kyary released her first promo single, "PonPonPon", citing Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera and Katy Perry as inspirations at that time. The music video, a psychedelic tribute to kawaisa and Decora culture, was released to YouTube and became a viral hit, leading to it being reported on by MTV and The Huffington Post. The single was produced by Yasutaka Nakata and is the first release from Kyary's debut album, Moshi Moshi Harajuku, which was released August 17, 2011. "PonPonPon" was released on July 20, 2011. On July 31, 2011, the song entered Billboard Japan's Hot 100 chart at 72. American rapper G-Eazy sampled the song on his single "Lost in Translation". "PonPonPon" topped the iTunes Electronic Songs Chart in Belgium and Finland.   
On August 3, 2011, her second promo single "Jelly" was internationally released via iTunes. A week after the release of Moshi Moshi Harajuku, Kyary released an autobiography about her rise to fame titled, Oh! My God!! Harajuku Girl.

From study about the detail background of the 2 celebrity that I choose for this topic, I found out that actually our country Malaysia is not so welcome the fame that celebrity that from other industry. Because from what I study in DIMP.Siti Nurhaliza binti Tarudin I found out that usually a Malaysian been giving the celebrity title after they obtain enough fame & achievement from the oversea then the government just started recognized them as Malaysia Celebrity. This same goes to the Dato' Michelle Yeoh that I mention in last article. both of them was been know as celebrity of Malaysia but they both also get the title after achievement the Fame from oversea.

But from Japan, even some of them getting started like from Blog fashion artist but they get their fame and move up to the music career then the celebrity of they own country all by doing in national but not international. This topic was let me know that the path to become a Celebrity in a Country is difference in each single country and i quite surprise that the path of become a celebrity in Malaysia is so funny and creative compare to other country celebrity.

That all I wan to say in this article, Please be look forward to my next article even through I still dunno what the topic i gonna chose next.

See ya !
