Hey Gaijin! Maid Cafes Are Good For Self-Promotion

Humor me. This isn't strictly game related, but it's the first I've heard of a foreign "celeb" using a maid cafe for self-promotion. Hence my excitement and desire to share.

It's a well know fact that famous Hollywood people come to Japan and star in TV commercials for buckets of money. Small time famous people come to Japan too and do embarrassing publicity stunts like appearing in wear frilly dresses at maid cafes in hopes of getting game nerds to support their crappy music.

Seventeen year-old Georgia native, teeny bop model and former Radio Disney person Katelyn Tarver is touring Akihabara to push her new album "Brand New Day," which will go on sale first in Japan and then later in the US. Launch first in a non-English speaking country. Always the mark of quality for any up and coming artist!
