Mai Miyawaki, the 35-year-old leader of the Hyogo-based Japanese underground idol group 'KRD8', recently uploaded a before-and-after work comparison video on social media, jokingly calling herself: 'Still unpopular to this day.' The strong sense of contrast in the video not only astonished a large number of fans, but also attracted nearly 20,000 viewers in a short period, sparking enthusiastic discussion.
At the start of the video, Mai Miyawaki appears bare-faced, wearing black-rimmed glasses, dressed in a simple light-colored T-shirt and jeans, with her hair casually tied up. Her entire look is plain and low-key. Then, the scene shifts: she dons her stage costume, wears sophisticated makeup, and exudes a sexy and fashionable aura—instantly completing an 'idol transformation.' The difference is so striking that it is as if they are two different people.
Commenting on this contrast-revealing video, Mai Miyawaki humorously remarked: 'Appearance and posture really do matter.' She also laughed, saying that she's still not very popular, but openly expressed her wish to live freely with a positive mindset: 'Dad, Mom, I’m sorry... but I’m just going to keep on living freely, leisurely, and at ease like this.' After watching the video, fans left messages such as: 'Deceptive! She’s just pretending to be plain,' 'She’s totally that frumpy coworker who turns into a goddess in a second,' and 'Wow, her transformation is incredible.'
