Eir Aoi

 * ... that Japanese singer Eir Aoi (pictured) initially did not show her mouth in promotional images as she wanted to have a "mysterious aura" and emphasize her "powerful" eyes? Source:,  ("エイル：まだデビューが決まる前の頃、個人でブログや動画をネットへ上げていたんですけど. もともと謎めいてたり神秘性を持ったアーティストに憧れていたことから、口にマスクをしてブログなどへ登場していたのが始まりだったんですよ. それがきっかけで「目が強いね」と逆に目力の印象を受けてもらったことから、「じゃあ、このまま口を隠して続けていこう」と思って. ")

 * ALT2: ... that prior to her major debut, Japanese singer Eir Aoi (pictured) considered pursuing a career as a nurse, as she felt that it was becoming unlikely that she would become a musician? Source:  ("いろいろリアルなことを考えなきゃいけなくなって、歌やりたいってずっと前から思ってたけど、もう無理なんじゃないかなって思ったので、あきらめて看護師を目指そうと思ったんです. ")

 * Comment: Requesting that this run on her birthday (November 30). Since it happens to also be her 30th birthday, it would be nice if this was the DYK image hook for that day. I could also possibly reword ALT0 to ALT1 to say "obscured part of her face", if the reviewer thinks it could be a better option.

 * Symbol voting keep.svg GA icon awarded same day as nomination. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in online English-language sources. I agree that ALT0 is the best hook; I removed the word "to". Foreign-language hook ref AGF and cited inline. Images are all freely licensed. QPQ done. ALT0 good to go.
