Once again I dispute that the members of the family ever use Ray Vaughn. That name always seems to originate from Japanese language sources.

Becky seems to be scrupulous about not using her family name in a work context. Her sister, father, and uncles all use Rabone when you see something that definitely came from the individual themselves. (How else do you think I found where her father went to school and where he considers his hometown, and the details about the uncles)

I wasn't going to post the name because I believe that the sins (if they are indeed sins) of the daughter should not be visited upon the father, sister and uncles.

So You Think She Can Dance?

or igirisu dudes still persistently have a grudge against japan enslaving some of them and destroying their british empire in WW2?

Japan never destroyed the British Empire. Not even close and not even in Asia. The jewel in the Crown never fell and indeed helped inflict a horrible defeat in Burma. The same was about to happen in Malaysia but Hiroshima and Nagasaki happened just in time. After that, the Empire was restored until later. japan might be able to claim it happened 5 years earlier than it would have done but even that is doubtful.

As for enslavement - Yes, but surely you are not proud of that? Anyhow, the memories of that, never that strong, are slipping away now. In fact, Asia was never the main show. A lot of the people involved complain bitterly their suffering and heroic fightback were forgotten almost as soon as the thing was finally over.

Are you new here? Anyways, welcome. You'll fit right in.

Nice comment about the lack of appreciation for the Eastern Theatre veterans there, btw. I was told by veterans in the UK and Canada that was a major beef for them after all that suffering and hardship. In my travels there have never been a shortage of Japanese that are visibly proud they worked some captured white men to death, and I always sensed a sense of shame amongst that ilk of Brits that God's Chosen were defeated and enslaved by ..........well, we'll let Take fill in the choice term. And Malaysia and Singapore were a bit of a shambles. Churchill's umbrage provides little relief given the subsequent savagery and suffering, though it is nice to know the old inbred wet his adult panties over it.

So I am the one being obtuse. Fair enough. I assumed that Rabone was a clumsy katakana to romanji translation of a more complex name. The idea that Becky (or more likely her management agency) would concoct a double barrelled surname is far more crafty than I would have given them credit for.

[wagyl]

I think the origin of this Ray Vaughn thing is that someone wondered what レイボーン would be in English and plugged it into machine translation, where the corpus of translations to date with the text string 「レイボーン」 referred to Uncle Stevie.

That seems more likely to me than Becky's management agency, which has never released a surname for her, getting in contact with her sister's management agency in the United States to muddy the waters. Four years before a crisis occurred. As I say each time, the Ray Vaughn notation always originates with a fan blog by a Japanese. And now by journalists without the budget to do research (I am being charitable there. All it takes is a look at her wiki page in English which links to the original Jetstar PR piece referred to below.)

I saw the Rabone name first with a press release by Jetstar -- and that is the risk you take getting advertising deals with non-Japanese companies, they don't play ball with the geinokai rules. Until I saw the Ray Vaughn stuff later, I had no idea how Rabone might be pronounced.

[dimwit]

The Rabone name does seem to lead back to the family and some hysterically yobby looking guy who I assume is their father.

You have just done more research than two journalists who trade on their expertise in Japan and its culture.


Oh, and careful. I think that she resembles her uncle here more than her father. Not suggesting anything, Mum....

[Samurai_Jerk]

Is Ray Vaughan even a surname? Like I said Stevie's middle name was Ray which means his last name was Vaughan.

If you believe the internet, yes.

Wait, a long list of guys named Ray Vaughn

Try this!
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ray+vaughn+-stevie+becky

And you find the result are only Rebecca and Jessica and her father, who, when you search further, just go to weabo sites with even more implausible names for her mother.

Damnit, Jerk. Asking the sort of questions that people who write news for a living should! They seem to have lost all "something sounds fishy here" radar.

[dimwit]

Wagyl, your search might work better if you correctly spelt Vaughan. There do seem to be a number of Ray Vaughans but whether the Ray is a middle or last name, I haven't the foggiest.

Jerk, as for the hillbilly, I am well aware that Ray was his middle name, as my septic tank comment refers to an incident that happened back in 1985 that I happened to be an unfortunate witness to.

[Samurai_Jerk]

Hillbilly!? He was from Dallas.

[dimwit]

After the incident, many of the people who witnessed it referred to him as 'The Hillbilly'. Think of it as a moniker, like Becky.

Got it. I never heard that but I was pretty young then and he wasn't really on my radar. If they didn't make fun of it on "The Simpsons" or "In Living Color" I didn't really pay attention. Besides Stevie was popular with old people like my dad. I knew of him and knew he died in a helicopter crash but that's about it.

I was confused because hillbillies don't come from cities or Texas.

Japan would like you to collect this L, haafu tarentos. I wish I could read what they're trying to imply regarding Jessica Michibata's recent divorce in that tabloid banner, but the text on the image is too small and garbled.

[Coligny]

400 yens... That's some expensive toilet paper...

[Takechanpoo]

it reads "hafu is quicker to deteriorate over time( than pure japanese)"

I think that may be a different story (or maybe not, this is the Shukan Bunshun after all) and they are just using RED BANNERS for effect, sort of the same way Davy Arbiter loves to use boldface type.

She's Back. And it looks like she has aged about 5 years.

That's too bad! She should have just walked away from on it all. I feel she's really lowering herself to get back on TV. But I guess if this is all she can do then, she has no choice.

[kurogane]

Could she go any lower than her previous character on TV? She seems dumb as a bag of bricks, so being halfy is probably all she has, as you say. She definitely got roasted, but when you're too stupid to think on your feet you shouldn't try to wriggle out of trouble using obvious lies.

[wangta]

Agree with Kuro.

About Becky's 'new look' - yep, she's aged about 5 yrs. Not surprising as she never really looked young. IMHO most of the hafus I've met here don't age well. Their eyes and noses tend to look out of sync with the Jp features and it makes them look oddly aged while still in their 20s and then beyond.

That annoying fucking hafu on some densha line's ad is an example the one where they are schoolgirls and she waves to her friends from the train. Her combination of sharp gaijin nose with broad Jp nose makes her look like Miss Piggy.

As for Rabone - yep it's a real surname. It's one of those names that can fit into two categories usually - sometimes from Britland but have French origins or sometimes from Scotland and have Norman origins. You'd be surprised at some Scottish clans who are not so much Scots or Gaelic as transplanted Normans who were originally Vikings before they settled down in Normandy and then went with William in 1066 to invade Britland.

I come from such a Scots background originally. Have the kilt n all but it was borrowed from the Gaels and we aint originally Gaelic.

[Takechanpoo]

gaelic, scots, norman, irish all look same to us japanese. whats important with it? huh?
no japanese care about it. they are all hakujin or shironbo(白ん坊) to us japanese.
and beckys eyes are fucking creepy and disgusting to me.

She looks terrible....stress? Not sure it's a "haafu" thing really....the fixation on youth that gets some quirky people popular...well quirky and cute while young doesn't always mean they will age well.

beckys eyes are fucking creepy and disgusting to

MOST PEOPLE

[kurogane]

I never found Becky pretty or attractive or entertaining, but I get why Jpn girls and women liked her: the chirpy spastic energy and obvious mental mediocrity are "refreshing and honest" and she was always bulletproof wholesome, plus no Japanese is getting Those Eyes without surgery and prosthetics. Keep in mind they adore Anne of Green Gables precisely because she's a half-retarded emotional spazzoid redhead teenage cowfart.
Anyways, the Jpn obsession with white halfs has always befuddled me: what Wangta said, but it is that nose they like. It usually isn't a nice mix (allowing they might or might not be luverly humans). I have also been amazed at the number of albino interracial kids I have met: all Scando-Jpn, creepy looking, and super nice people with great Jpn and Eng/Scando. I think we are at number 5 or 6 now. I always met them at academic conferences.
South Asian-Jpn OTOH.............oh, oh my. There was or is a receptionist at the Indian Consulate in Osaka that should be the permanent Miss Universe, and she doesn't speak English, or claims not to. Hubba Hubba. Buttocks like a ripe watermelon. boing
The Turkish thing seems to work too if they are more darker Turkic than Greeky.

[Samurai_Jerk]

I don't think she looks that much older. I think they just stopped using lighting, make up, and screens to make her look young because she's no longer seen as innocent.

As for getting back into TV, why wouldn't she? She probably needs the money and as has already been mentioned she probably can't do anything else. And even if she did have some other talent what's going to pay as well or be less of a sell out? Unless you're independent wealthy you have to eat shit to make a living. Yes, some situations are worse that others but in the end we're all selling out.

[kurogane]

　　　As for getting back into TV, why wouldn't she? .

That is a nice point. I don't think she looks all that worse, and only half as brain fucked as she used to when she was Cute Dope #1. I don't think less of her for going back to her job after a rough patch; then again, as celebrities go I can't think less of her unless I think of that sumo fat tranny or a couple of the usual MC guys. Becky is a stupid girl's heroine, and there seems to be little shortage of that fan base. If she had been a single male and banging some minor married pop star they would have pinned a medal on her and taken her out to a fancy soapland to celebrate. I hate her and I still think she got railroaded.

PS I don't hate her as a humanoid, just as TV pollution.

[Mike Oxlong]

Wasn't the guy she had the affair with recently caught with an underage girl? His band was supposedly going to cut down on appearances in penance.
