It's all about image in Japan and all artists are willing to change in order to be popular.

Though, I think that is in every country right?
Anyone will change if they think it will bring fortune and fame.

I mean, I know I would.

Not really. In my country a natural look is more valued in a celebrity because they appear more "down to earth" and approachable. More fake-looking celebrities tend to be well.. made fun of over here ^^;

However in countries like Japan, people have these idealized image of celebrities and that's why they take it so badly when the celebrity does not appear as perfect as they imagined them to be. Of course many US and European celebrities go under the knife.

Personally I wouldn't change because I like the way I look but to each their own.
