It will very soon, believe me. She can't dance and she can't sing. Once we're tired of looking at her face, she'll be gone. The prettier the face, the quicker we get tired of watching. It's as simple as that. There's a long waiting list of these girls for Japan, so the industry won't invest in Cruel and wait till she develops into real stardom.
I'm like a living witness of these short-lived one-hit-wonders from abroad. Being a star in a far-away country while remaining the girl-next-door type in your own isn't easy. It will wear you down within a few years at the longest.
As far as I know, it all started with Betsy and Chris from America. This song was Number 2 on the annual Japanese chart for 1969. Number 2 in what was already becoming an economic superpower yet no one knew who they were back home. They called it quits at the peak of their "stardom" here.
