Tom Jones is a good one.

[oomfies]

oh yeah!! for sure!
..who's tom jones again??

[asaqueenshould]

Aside from those of us who are here and have achieved some measure of fame back home, you mean? [There really are a ridiculous number of famous faces from Hifumi's corner of Japan here. Naoto, Mitsuru, herself to an extent...]

Kujikawa Rise is probably the biggest name who's not present herself. She's pretty big in the idol industry, and as of my time branching out into acting and music; there were posters for her latest album all over the subway stations for most of last year.

[oomfies]

Yeah like.. Actually important people like big time movie actors and stuff!
Or anyone on TV, I just wanna see like if there's any common stuff between all of us :)

I don't think I've heard of Kujikawa Rise.. At least not yet!

[ Her sister probably would've told her about it, so Lottie's drawing a blank.. ]

Did she ever branch out into the US by any chance?? Or was she just strictly active in Japan?

There are many famous historical figures to choose from, few of which are still alive to this day, however I will confess I am unsure as to if they would be recognizable to anyone of a different Earth.

'Rihanna' is unfamiliar to me, but I do believe that I have heard the name before from one of my colleagues that is enthused by pre-Golden Age history. Is this rihanna some sort of figure in cowboy history?

[oomfies]

[ ...WAS Rihanna a cowboy?

It takes Lottie all of two seconds to snap back into reality - ]

Uh... No! Lol Rihanna hasn't played any cowboys in movies
She's a singer! And an actor and lots of other cool things
What do u mean by pre golden age, though?? What years are that?

[dereban]

Rihanna's pretty famous in Japan, actually, although probably not as famous as some other celebrities back home.

To be honest, there's a lot of famous people back home - idols, comedians, models, singers - Gackt is pretty popular - actors, and radio personalities. If I listed them all we'd be here all day.

[oomfies]

Really??? I always kinda wondered how celebs in america are overseas
She has tons of appeal so I can see why they like her! Lol

OMG.. It's been forever though since someone brought up Gackt!
Last time I listened to that kind of stuff was high school
Are they still doing stuff??

What is blogging?

[oomfies]

Making posts?
About anything, I guess??
..You really don't know what blogging is???

( TEXT. )

[herocomplex]

_{[ Lot.. the tater tot. I feel like Lottie is just going to keep getting weirder and weirder nicknames. ]}

also rihanna is a queen
A QUEEN

[oomfies]

Nooo! I'm chilling with the guy who literally made McDenny's
That does not make u a celeb it just makes you hard to hang w in public

jk!!! but just remember who has a following when I post a pic at ur place!
Am I gonna get a uniform for being the social media manager btw? :)

And YES, wow.. First person to say that on this post!
Glad you have good taste tbh! What's your fav song from her??

[codecmoment]

I know Rihanna!
I don't keep up with pop culture much, though.
My daughter is 11 but she works for NASA and her twitter is mostly cute animals. I dunno if she keeps up with things either.
She does know how to floss, whatever that is. And dabbing?
Sorry, I'm a dad.
There's a big war hero and figure of pop culture I was pretty intimately acquainted with, but those days are over now.
My real name comes from an AI in a classic movie - 2001: A Space Odyssey. My name's Hal.

[oomfies]

[ As Lottie reads this message she can just tell there's a lot to unpack here. She isn't sure where to begin - his daughter has a job? A job at NASA? Dabbing????? He's a dad????? ]

Ohh wait, I've heard of that movie!
I haven't watched it in like a SUPER long time though so I forgot what it's about.. lmao
But if you know what dabbing is orrr at least heard of it, you're from like past 2015 right??
And it's ok abt the dad thing. I can't rly relate but my friend's sister is a mom so I SORT of know what it's like
..Srsly tho? how did ur daughter end up working there?
like, does she actually get paid or is it just a for fun thing until it's legal?

I know quite a few famous people, but they're more famous for political reasons rather than being what I'd consider 'celebrities.' It's hard for me to think of Avatar Korra and Councilman Tenzin the same way I'd think of Pro Bending superstars like Tahno of the Wolfbats, even if Korra is technically both.

[oomfies]

Sry.. I know like none of those ppl!
But I mean tbh fame is fame? If the public knows you, they know you!
I dont know what pro bending is though but is that like
a football equivalent in ur world..?? For sports stars?

[panthered]

I'd be surprised if anyone from Earth didn't know Rihanna. I mean, she's Rihanna.

[oomfies]

True.. AND valid!

But so far I've got like three people who didn't even acknowledge the namedrop..
And

[ There's a delay in messages, where she actually scrolls back up to read what someone said - ]

one where Rihanna ACTUALLY might've been a cowboy in their universe??
I mean, not mad at that tbh. But what the hell.. Why didn't WE get that?

Lottie, I can't believe I'm getting read for filth for my Bear Grylls fascination. I come from Florida; I have to know how to fight gators and drink bodily fluids. Maybe it's also why I like Guy Fieri so much...He seems like the sort of man who could gut a catfish and deep fry it without batting an eyelid.

I've heard a lot of Rihanna in the past few years, but I've always been more of a Pavarotti sort of man; blame my age and work. She's definitely a talented woman, though.

[oomfies]

Omg. Nooooo Enrico... It's a good lol! A good one!
I think it's cute that you like him! :)
I'm from LA so he's more like a myth here
But we LOVE Guy Fieri.. He's a legend in socal LMAO
Are there srsly alligators there tho??
I kno it's a joke but like... Is it a problem

[ But here comes the real problem of this text... Lie and pretend like she knows whoever the hell this Pavarotti person is???? Or be honest?? Some seconds later another message arrives - something she hopes sounds ambiguous enough to where he won't focus too hard on the credibility. ]

Ohhh, I don't know a lot of their stuff but Pavarotti is cool!
..Sounds abt right tho that a lot of Rihanna wouldn't come your way haha
How old are you btw?? I've been kinda curious since u look really young!

[badluckblues]

no clue what a rihanna or a fenty is, but i was decently famous back in my combat school days. team loser taiyang xiao long would tell you all the girls were after him, but he would be wrong.

[oomfies]

Well! Lucky for you
No taiyang xiao long has told me that yet..
Good to kno tho! I'll call him out when I see him! Lol

What kind of famous are we talking tho?
If ur trying to compare yourself to Rihanna she's a pretttyy big deal!
Fenty is her makeup line that sold out like.. IMMEDIATELY
And she's super rich and talented, basically the whole package

[menphina]

Famous people?

The only ones I know are the Warrior of Light

But the Warrior of Light I've heard of isn't the same one here.. but they're famous?

[oomfies]

Uhh wait
what?? LOL
MEGUMI you confused me!

You know two grps called the Warrior of Light?
And there's one here??

[schmisse]

The work song? Does it make you more productive, or inspire you to be better?

[ Because she'd like to hear that. ]

[oomfies]

Hmm.. I think it was like
A song about how only one person is putting in the work for a relationship?
It has a good message kind of but I think it's more cautionary tale-y??

There IS another work song though from a different group
But it's like.. Waaaay different than Rihanna's work song

Mad Trigger Crew is famous in Japan.

[ When he says what's my name, the crowd says RI-OU!!! And they're like, one of four groups that dominate the divisions. Riou doesn't really think of himself as a celebrity on the same level as Rihanna or anything though.

...Also despite that the other divisions are here too he's just gonna like. Not mention them. MTC is the only name people need to know. 😎 ]

[oomfies]

[ Mad... Trigger... Crew???? She's not sure if they're not really famous in her world, or if this crew is exclusive to his, but.. ]

Cool name?!
So what's their music like?
Or are they like a dance crew or smth

[hoasen]

Hello Lottie Person! My name is Vietnam, and in my universe I suppose I count as one. In a way.

But I have heard of Bear Grylls and Rihanna, of course! Hmm...I'm trying to think of one in the entertainment industry. BTS?

[oomfies]

Heeeyyyy Vietnam! I think we might have a couple mutuals
so I understand what you mean : )

BTS? Damn.. Never thought I'd hear that name in this place
In my year they've gotten a suuuuuper crazy amount of clout in mainstream media
In america I mean.. Everyone was late to their music but, better now than never!
Do u have a fav?

[kayssistant]

I haven't seen you around IRL yet but I'd love to meet up with you sometime, Lottie! I'm Kay Faraday.

We have some pretty famous people back home. Will Powers and John Marsh are actors, Max Galactica is a magician and he's part of the Berry Big Circus with Regina Berry the animal tamer, and there's the Gavinners, a rock band. I also know Katherine Hall and Jeff Masters, who used to do a musical/baking TV show together called Piece of Cake.

[oomfies]

Maybe when we're both free? Nice to meet you Kay! : )

That's a lot of names though haha!
I've only had other comments with like maybe one or two ppl
so this is SUPER impressive!
Do you watch a lot of their stuff or smth??

[hunksmash]

I know rihanna.

If she's current to you, though, I'm from ~the future~.

[oomfies]

So.. A fan of the oldies?
At least you have good taste! lol
How far are you into ~the future~??
