why the hell does this video have 4.2 million views?

I am utterly baffled by this. it's some creepy big-eyed girl looking at the screen with a soul-stealing blank stare. And yet somehow, it's got 4,249,345 views.

I'm crazy about the kid. Rirrian?

I'm surprised that nobody has asked her to hold up a tube of toothpaste or maybe a little sign with a web address on it yet.

The poor dear has dental issues; wish somebody would come along and help her with some cosmetic dentistry.

Seriously tho, could the fact that you've posted 3 times here about her, went and found her wiki page, and posted video of her speaking explain anything about the number of hits she gets?
Wait this is my 3rd post too .. weird.

It can explain the initial popularity, but to sustain that for any length of time, that's my question. I have no interest in actually watching any more of her videos now, so the interest in her, for me, has lasted all of an hour or two, very on and off.

How she sustains any sort of interest, to the point of being flown over to Japan to appear on talk shows, have magazine spreads etc. It's just beyond me.

i would suggest that the mystery lies around the "KAWAII" culture of Japan... from my experience with Japanese teens, when they see the video, be it boy or girl, they will mumble - KAWAIII!!! (cute!).

BTW - is it me, or does her bed looks like a pokemon face?!

Common, this is so old...

She's caucasian, far beyond her teen years, ugl... let's say "uncute", and her mouth shut is due to the shark-like teeth. She was a youtube phenomanon, and it's right on youtube that this info can be found, and since it can be found that the trend ceased. As a mysterious no-age, no-race female she attracts the viewers but once they aknowledge her true appearance, the attraction fades away.

More than an exploitation of a subculture to gain all the attention she so sickly seeks (4 millions is not a subculture anymore), this girl makes use of a universal feature of captivation - this said mystery allied to some sort of oddness that is dded to simultaneously repulse and increase curiousity (curious about the wicked).

Although at the same time, it fails tremendously, when the symbolic stare of pure dellusion (since she's the opposite of this persona) begins- Which is from 0:00 ad eternum.

Garbage, I'd downvote it 4 million times.
