emily has taken it upon herself to reply here in the comments which is kind of lol since she is playing the "i'm a total japanese person!" persona game again. in other words, she is saying she is not herself, but in fact someone who cares so much that they have nothing to do but come here and defend her and answer questions directed about her personal life. makes much sense. also, she makes common and awkward japanese language mistakes and claims not to speak english, even though that doesn't even appear to be consistent at all. from observation, it seems emily is trying to be lily chou-chou, this enigmatic japanese-only entity on the internet swallowing the sweet nectar of others playing along with her fantasies. this is what you do: don't respond or write anything to her in japanese. write it all in english. see how long she lasts being a confused, so totally native japanese person with zero english grasp. she has already fucked up her act anyway, there's little need to indulge the rest of this girl's internet playtime pretending to be a japanese person. just write and respond in english. she will either fuck off (doubtful) or make up an excuse that allows her (as her mysterious japanese "friend") to understand and respond. the excuse is you are white trash in the first place, emily.


emily writes her own japanese wikipedia entries in pretty awkward japanese. well, you tell me, it comes off as weird to me and my little ability. however, she swears she did not write it, but rather an anonymous fan (lol).

EMILY - YouTubeで多数の動画を投稿している、インディーズバンドc.cedille所属の在日アメリカ人ミュージシャン。

ironically, she lists her name on the japanese "emily" page under a porno actress. reach for the stars, EMILY. (NOTE THE CAPS FAGGOTS IT MEANS ITS IMPORTANT)

there is now a japanese wikipedia article for her nothing two-piece band that's already been flagged as being irrelevant self-promotion bullshit lacking encyclopedic value. the same person under the handle: gecko0081 created the c.cedille wikipedia page and edited the "emily" page to include miss emily connor's information and redirect. who is gecko0081? a google search shows nothing but a handful of emily/wikipedia-related pages. so it looks like a one-off, unique username made just for this purpose. hmmm!

plainly, the c.cedille page is illegitimate, unwarranted self-importance. it's lacking any reason to exist on an online encyclopedia. there are no sources for anything, such as mentions of the band in a magazine, newspaper, or on the billing of a notable event. the official links include emily's personal blog and her youtube channel.

in conclusion, /facepalm. how desperate do you have to be?

edit 11/23

DRAMA ON WIKIPEDIA?

clearly, gecko0081 is emily, as they have admitted that they are an "insider" of the band on the discussion page of the article. this admission plainly violates wikipedia's guidelines regarding neutral point-of-view which is enough to have it immediately deleted. in other words, you can't write articles about yourself on wikipedia, nor can you write them as an "insider" of the very (irrelevant) entity you are writing about because that's not a neutral source of information. as elaborated previously, her article also violates the other two core guidelines of wikipedia: original research and verifiability. wikipedia isn't your vanity site so you can write your own articles and call yourself "famous", emily.

beyond that, emily thinks i am the one debating her on the wikipedia discussion, although our friend from finland who has left comments in this entry would be the one doing so. in the japanese wikipedia page where she is called out for her shit, emily makes empty dumbass threats to call the police on the internet, says i'm pitiful, and generally goes on a long-winded personal rant about shameful behavior and not growing up. at the same time, she is pretending not to be her? who else but emily would care enough to write this personal bullshit against me? i guess i still get to her ^_________^;; kekekekeke.

emily's held another persona known as "maeko" from this forum circa 2006, although this particular thread was post-hax in autumn 2008. i didn't know of this until now but perhaps it flew over my head before. pretending to be a japanese girl, behaving egotistically, grew unpopular, and left soon after to forge another identity at some other community.

"I don't recall her posting any pictures, I just remember her mentioning that she was a Japanese exchange student in Florida or something like that."

"I thought those who had known her here should know that she lied to everyone about who she really was. She has been manipulating people online and offline for many years now. "

"I think this this makes her persona count up to 8 now."

( for emily )

"i'd like to apologize because all of the english-speaking people who follow me only get to see me in 'character', which isn't really fair at all." - emily connor.

that's because there is nothing real about your personality except the well-known fact you are a bad person. also your vag had std's.

oh but i'm totally not mean for sharing that, all you guys who follow this blog only only get to see me 'in character', which isn't really fair at all...

there have been questions of emily being signed to chameleon, which is a japanese indie music label home to bands such as sleepy.ab, who are actually one of my favorite groups (UGH). there's some bullshit photo of her in a chameleon studio "recording" but she makes no mention of being signed anywhere which is impossible for emily to do because she has a neurological disorder to brag about things whether they're true, exaggerated, or completely made up.

so i popped over to chameleon's webpage and saw this on their contact page.

so maybe (or maybe not) they sent a demo in and chameleon asked her to come in and do some recording upon reading emily's bloated credentials as the japanese youtube姫 and AIDORU DESU and god knows what. who really knows though, it could just be she got an "in" through someone which isn't impossible, chameleon is a relatively small label, and it's no victor or avex. or~ it could be they liked what they had going on, although the credit would really just go to serey since he composes the actual music. no one is banging on doors to recruit emily's masterful lyrical talent and depth. i don't think she's signed to shit, though, and i would think someone in sleepy.ab would consider it kinda gay that a couple foreigners hop aboard their label and call themselves c.cedille after their name.

if you feel chameleon label should know more about emiry and her misadventures as an unintentional self-troll, scammer, e-begger, and scandal-prone behavior, here is their email: info@chameleon-label.com

leaked to me just recently, the date of when these were composed and posted was probably before her live fail; i'm told the dates are missing to protect the source, although the diary entry gives a good inside look at the way emily um... conducts herself with her "friends" and people who help her. i should also mention emily skipped out and owes rent money to another foreign girl whom she stayed with that was never paid. by the way, emily, there's a message for you at the bottom i was told to give you here. who did you piss off this time?



[because teenage girls who go to japanese scarf/fashion exhibits need money more than anyone]




["until we get signed and start getting salaries" (LOL)]

"from nao."

7/25 note: am seeing hyde/vamps at the grand regency ballroom in sf tonight. i usually throw my plans on here in case one of you guys want to chill, always more the merrier...  well except i'm leaving for the train station right now lol.

it's been two years since the prelude to this saga, and i must say i'm still bewildered at the fact za feiru has lingered onward this long. i don't even know what to say anymore except that i think it's time to spread rumors, conspiracy theories, and defamation if she learns and the drama dies bit by bit. go out with a bang, kids, because i don't know what she's doing if she's doing anything at all. does she have a reason to be there anymore? is it all about posting hipster photos on blogs?

some people say she's using amphetamines over there. i totally read it somewhere. others say she skipped out to korea to reset her tourist visa because she can't get anything better.  i've also heard elsewhere she gave up her music "career" upon discovering no one cares.

the above was written is mostly sarcasm, by the way. mostly.

update: screening is off so post away, kids.

i've been scrambling around the bay area at raves, shows, and general partying lately but i've noticed there hasn't been much about activity regarding her, has there? i've read the comments like always, but my apologies for the anonymous screening lately... i was pretty annoyed about going out to my friend's place on a monday night and coming home late to see my mailbox full of notifications and spam from some canadian white knight.

as far as i know, the upside is one of the chill guys who posts here will be making a video to post on youtube that evades frivolous copyright claims by emily while still getting out what she's trying to censor about herself from everyone else. the downside is i've been way too burned out and my mind everywhere else to have gotten back to him on time, as now he is on vacation (hopefully enjoying it). my apologies again. what held it up was we're looking to clear it with someone who submitted a paypal receipt to me, a student who donated to emily thinking she was a needy starving student, and probably put that in there as an example of someone scammed of their money they otherwise would not have given to her had she not lied her ass off for quick cash.

summer is when people are out and about taking time off but i'm sure if any activity comes up i'll be paying attention to it. at least it doesn't seem like much is happening recently. i hope everyone is at least relaxing, enjoying the season, doing something fun, or has something to look forward to though.

off-topic but i wonder if anyone who pays attention to this silly lj is going to the 420chan meetup(s) at electric daisy carnival this weekend? it's going to be bombbbbb. hit me up if you are!

update: i've so far received an email from someone who did indeed donate more than $5 to emily, assuming they were helping out another student, and they provided a screenshot of their paypal transaction as well as confirming they never received any thank you letter she promised while lamenting they had no idea she would just use the money to buy gifts for herself. if there are more of you, please let me know at my email and i'll get back to you asap. thank you!

update: a helpful anon has supplied us with the videos emily is doing her best to purge from exposure. the tentative plan right now is to upload them elsewhere of youtube, perhaps photobucket's video uploading service, veoh, and others you may know of. uploading to nico nico douga is dissuaded while we come to a consensus with the pros and cons of doing so. it's my understanding another supportive anon will be composing a video to expose her while avoiding legitimate copyright claims of her image, possibly linking viewers to the real video. thank you very much! spread it around and make scammers and liars accountable.

it's come to my attention that various videos posted on youtube that exposed her e-begging scam or parodied her have been taken down and deleted by youtube staff per request by emily. one of these videos was from a friend who simply translated emily's e-begging video with japanese subtitles to expose what she was doing for any japanese audience she has - emily seems to "divide" information and news of her endeavors between japanese people and her real means of dwindling support which are westerners on youtube. other parodies and videos exposuring her e-begging scam were also deleted and they are rightfully pissed off at the purging of information regarding it. there is no such thing as deleting everything and it all goes away.

needless to say, i personally think because these events have happened, the conclusion is that emily is vulnerable and has gone out of her way to suppress exposure of her own actions and publicly made videos due to her own worries and concerns for her image. on one hand she made the video begging for money when she wanted it, but now that we understand this was a scam, she wants to make sure everyone else is shut out of knowing this to save her own face. some of us, including myself, do not believe she should be allowed to scam people out of their money, lie about its purpose, make promises of thank you letters that they couldn't even be bothered to keep to those who actually did send her money, and be allowed to walk away from these low actions by simply deleting others' videos about it.

-what happened-

[] emily used her youtube popularity to solicit money via paypal from anyone for the purpose of attending an unnamed university

[] emily also promised that anyone who donated more than $5 would receive a personal thank you letter

[] this solicitation for money was also made known on her myspace but completely absent from her japanese blogs

[] emily complained of having little money and only eating one soyjoy a day

-fast forward-

[] emily has not mentioned any university she is seeking admittance to, nor is attending any university since the japanese school semester began in april

[] shortly after she had solicited money through youtube, she posted photos of herself in a studio and spoke of "recording" her music

[] her former friend, kyna, posted on her personal blog her disgust with emily's solicitation for money that was used to buy gifts for herself. kyna also mentions that emily's father, who is a wealthy businessman, will be paying for emily's language school which is not a "university" by anyone's definition anyway.

[] it has come to our attention that those who donated to her have since complained they have not even received any personal thank you letter

-what we do know-

[] emily had no plan to enroll into any university. she is not attending one and she has made no mention of pursuing acceptance into one.

[] after soliciting money from youtube users and complaining about her lack of money, she has since posted photos of herself having her hair professionally styled, wears new clothes, and has posted photos of expensive food from restaurants she had been.

[] emily's father is a wealthy ceo of a medical supply company and has been the one paying for everything she does in japan, as well as her attendance into a language school. almost all of of us do not have the financial advantages she has.

[] emily is not employed in japan and there is no indication she has a visa to legally work in japan.

[] kyna confirmed our suspicions, made public in a previous entry on this blog, that emily had simply used the donated money to buy gifts for herself.

[] emily routinely and quickly deletes any and all comments on her blog or other websites making reference to her solicitation for money or attending university

with all of this said (bear with me), emily understands she is vulnerable to this, and has gone out of her way to quietly suppress her scam. it's my intention to publicly ask that anyone who had donated money and are unsatisifed with being scammed by her to either comment on this livejournal or send me a personal email to: meltyhorror@hotmail.com to outline your grievances. any information you give me will be used on your terms with your persmission only, and myself and others would greatly appreciate it if you stand up and help us do something about what happened. if you have access to screenshot your receipt of money you had sent her through your paypal account, this would also be very much appreciated to prove you were indeed misled and scammed.

the main contention is that emily is established on the youtube partner program and she receives some amount of money for having her videos hosted and viewed. the feelings of myself and others are that youtube should not be affiliated with a person who has used her popularity and stance on their website to scam money from other youtube users by soliciting donation for a false and misleading purpose.

i also publicly ask anyone who is able to gather any information about this to help raise awareness on youtube and elsewhere outlining emily's scam and contacting youtube about it. since we are starting from scratch, any help or support either person could give us would also be very much appreciated, even if it's just words and insight. we would like to understand the parameters of youtube's terms of service guidelines regarding misleading solitications for money and scams, and see if there is proper action we can take to pursue against emily's status as a youtube partner or credible personality.

any support, help, advice, insight, helpful opinions, and evidence given would be very humbling and appreciated. thank you very much for giving your time to read this entry and understand our stance. if enough of us gather together i'm more than certain even by raising awareness of this issue something can come out of it so people understand there is accountability for soliciting money with a highly misleading purpose. we can also reinforce the idea to those perpetuating such scams that you cannot get away with it simply by suppressing others' grievances and information about it. let's do something about it.

warmth and congratulations for cardgamesftw for surpassing emily for the #3 most-subscribed spot (japan) and thank you to the person who kept up about the rankings that posts here. i'm rooting for cookingwithdog to take #1 because i believe in francis the dog, and with that attitude anything can happen. どうでもいいな、emily.



also i didn't know you were claiming to graduate high school early - isn't that a classroom behind you? you gave me this photo in january '07 which was during your senior year. last i remembered you graduated in june of that year at 18-years-old, and you even told me an uncle or something even gave you an iphone as a graduation present before we went to tokyo. are you just a pathological liar? by the way girlfriend, that whole early graduation story sounds awfully familiar, don't you think? well, enjoy your downward descent from your youtube ranking, fading popularity, wishing you could be miss magibon no matter how mean or low you'll go to trash her, and failing at japan. we're watching you ^_^

boo.



so did anyone else see "drag me to hell" today?

i remain pretty fucking sure that event was the predicted failure it was anticipated to be regardless of mr. chris's laughable amount of editing and the time it took for him to actually put a video up about it. the proof it did fail lies in the fact that chris poured his dear little heart into promoting it over and over and over and over and all he has to show for it is very little - not exactly countering all the hataz, are you? well mr. chris i wouldn't expect you to say shit because of your shadyness anyway... plus i would appreciate it if you knew your place and remembered you have nothing to do with whatever is between emily and i (wink wink!). even mr. hikosaemon's dj set looked about as awesome as a lan party at an anime convention. so ends my event review: ten thousand dattebayo's down.

/mandatory 200+ comment follow-up entry

congratulations japanese people (if any) who paid the ticket price in advance or were planning on attending: you get to foot the bill for chris and emily's "event" so chris can let his friends free under this scam of "youtubers" getting a discount. this is extremely shady, and it's almost hard to believe (per the words of the anon who gave us this) chris would actually brag about this but it makes sense... we knew this sort of thing would happen, we knew he was inept and way over his head, we knew they couldn't sell tickets, and now we know he's really sketchy because he's essentially laying the cost to japanese people who are not his friends for his own plainly worded advantage. these are not legitimate people.

so emily and chris, how many japanese fans do you think you have left now?

now that i moved this isp has me アクセス規制中 from 2ch again. pshhhhhhhh.

/emily

it's a may day and i'm fucking tired, but i feel like there are things to write here and make fun of before i get too lazy or caught up doing school work. yes emily, school work as in college, how's that going for you? oh wait lol.

ビッグニュース！ emily "lily chou-chou mae takeuchi" connor is holding an amateur first-time set at some non-venue venue for the unusually greedy and unrealistic price of ￥5,000 + tax to watch her and her canadian boyfriend play "make way" - which was unsurprisingly and instantly compared to this lily chou-chou song on the 2ch message board. her band name also ripped off from the film "all about lily chou-chou" but life is full of coincidences.

i don't know how this dumb bitch came up with $50 USD for an amateur acoustic set featuring a lily chou-chou copycat nobody at some place that isn't even a venue. she couldn't even sell a dvd (now in the bargain bin, seriously) to these "fans" of her wearing barely any clothes, rubbing her chest, spreading her legs, and putting a banana in her mouth (lol classy). the people who will be there are those who didn't pay the actual ticket price, and anyone who does pay is some "perfect blue" shit. still... if you're an amateur, you play free gigs, anything you can get, to show venues you can sell tickets in the first place. this shouldn't be that hard, but it's necessary, and not really glamorous. i don't know of anyone who's been/is a musician or in a band who charged $50 for their first show ever for this kind of music. she doesn't want to work and doesn't work, that's why her dad pays for everything she's been doing while she expects everyone to spend $50 of their money to see her. unless she's begging for her money and spending it on garbage, that is.

i went to her blog and it's the same shit. "please make a reservation for my event". "if you still haven't made a reservation, please write your name and send it to my email." "i'm going to put music clips on youtube, please watch." "please leave comments." "please forgive me i didn't decide the ticket price" - well you sure have no problem playing a show that charges it anyway, do you? but then again it's not a regular live, you get a talk session and a meet-and-greet. lol wow, for only $50 of my money i get to watch your talent show and shake your hand?

this is embarrassing... just another spoiled kid booted out of her talented agency, dumping friends left and right after she uses them, and charging ridiculous ticket prices for no other reason other than she thinks she's worth more than 99% of famous professional acts who play shows in real venues.

let's play a game. go to one of the countless self-promoting blogs, websites, and youtube videos of emily and leave a comment of either or all of the following:

a) ask about the entrance exams for her university
b) ask why she's not in a-top anymore
c) ask about her abortion
d) ask about her rape "anniversary"
e) ask about her photos that look just like kynapple's
f) ask about her visa status
g) ask about her japanese haircut
h) ask about her "one soyjoy a day" diet
i) ask about magi's success
j) ask what she spent her e-begging money on
l) ask about her dog
m) ask her anything about japanese history/culture
n) ask her about her canadian boyfriend

okay, did you do it? fabulous. now pick a number between 1-12 - you ready? check the clock and see what time it is. remember your number? great. when that hour strikes, check to see if your comment is still there. if it is, you just won the game.

comment if i'm forgetting anything to add.

someone in the comments (thank you) posted an official explanation from a-top, emily's agency, briefly explaining why she no longer is a part of the company.

・エミリー
就労に最適なビザが日本で取得できなかったのが、最大の理由です。
また、日本の芸能に関する価値観の理解・文化の違いもありました。

"The main reason was that the company couldn't get a visa for her work, and also her understanding of the value of the entertainment world and the culture were different from the company's, so that's why she is no longer a part of their lineup." [credits to the anonymous poster]

the real translation: we dropped her because she didn't qualify for a visa and she's a disrespectful twat who didn't understand how this business or country works.

thought this was pretty interesting... if predictable. at least it shows she got dropped for the above reasons and it wasn't because of some innocent economic reason like emily couldn't help it. it's like someone telling you they were laid off when they were fired, right emily? グッドジョブだぞ！^＿^

a japanese user left this message here

ニックちょっと手伝って。
So Nick since all of us are trying to stop that horrible human being I think this link would be very good.

https://www.nhk.or.jp/night/mail.htm

We can send our opinion about the tv show where she appeared.I`m gonna send them a message telling the truth I(we) know about her.I think who has good material about her should do that.
Honestly I think it was a shame that she appeared on a NHK TV show,you should know what I mean.
Could you translate it properly for who doesn`t understand japane
(僕はあまり自信がないのでよろしくー）
これで少なくともNHKには出にくくなるから。

translated line: because at least with all that it'll be hard to get on nhk. [correct me if i failed, i'm sure i did]

i guess you just fill out a simple form and let your grievances be known to the nhk channel why they would have this sort of person on their tv show, even if it was for a short english-speaker segment. the japanese person is probably bothered because nhk is a respectable and very mainstream channel that wouldn't have put her on had the producers for the tv show bothered to look her up.

if you aren't too familiar with japanese, the form goes this way

name (required)
occupation
age
sex 男 = male, 女 = female
region (the last option is 'other', then you put where you are in the sub blank box
email address (required)

then submit.

i'mma going to a rave tonight and seeing asobi seksu in hollywood the next day, see you all late saturday night if i don't die or something :D i'm dead, just need to stay on my 6,000 calories a day diet for a few more days to get back to normal. too skinny + almost no body fat + ~8 hours at a rave doing what i do = a corpse until i nourish myself of 32 oz jamba juices, ice cream, soy protein, and ihop breakfasts being a lazy ass while i recover. then again nobody feels sorry for thin people.

someone posted in my blog that they were able to screencap a comment on emily's 10,929th website before she promptly deleted it, left by a japanese user named hiro (wrong guy! D:) asking where her university money went. so i'm posting it since i said i would.



a translation left by the person who commented in my blog

"thanks for deleting my comment twice (w)
it doesnt matter to me but, what happened to your funraising moneys?
you going to university? (w)
will you runaway/escape/dissapear?
the guitar that you bought with the stolen money will make music no one wants to hear.
if its the truth its pretty funny though (w)
..."

i'm still confused how one can beg for money and lie about it, as confirmed by kynapple in the last entry, to buy themselves gifts and none of her internet fanbase thinks about it or even just brings up "hey, university is starting in japan next month, how's that coming?". or maybe they do and she just deletes the comments like this one before anyone can see them. considering her new canadian boy toy expressed his own lax feelings about stealing from japanese people i guess this must be a popular thing nowadays to get into.

an anon who pays attention posted a blog entry from a girl emily has been photographed with and hangs out with her in japan. there is no reason to bug this girl for anything, so please don't. she at least has the honesty to write what's on her mind and express even her own disgust at the fact emily has begged for money on the internet and spends it on guitars, handbags, and clothes and still asks for her dad to pay for her language school. this girl says she can't even afford a ticket home and doesn't read like the sort of person that would have to e-beg and lie about it. i don't think any of us would either.

an anon brought to my attention something added in her ed article, so i checked it out in the comments and found this.

"Also, here's her super kawaii advert on Sagasu sensei.... http://www.findateacher.net/prev/prev.php?id=274515 Which proves she is working illegally without a visa. I encourage those of you who sepak the moonspeak to Immingration here know. I already have. About 15 times. And I will keep doig so every day until she gets her flabby white ass deported."

if she really has no valid visa to work and decided putting an ad up on the internet to teach english wasn't phenomenally stupid, then as a proud law-abiding citizen and a guy respectful of the laws of foreign countries, i'm simply gonna post this here because i can and have nothing better to do at 1am today.


i also believe it's illegal to smoke cigarettes under 20-years-old there. you probably shouldn't broadcast yourself doing something like that considering ai kago from morning musume/minimoni was kicked out of hello! project for that very same thing. aren't i vindictive? well, maybe it was because i got ticketed in akihabara for smoking (yes i was of age then) and if anything, underage smoking, especially if you advertise yourself on the internet indoors doing it trying to look cool, probably deserves the wrath of karma. thank you random 2channeler for posting this screencap in my old thread ages ago, as i was going through my photobucket and there it was from another time i may have posted it.
