Teenage internet sensation Beckii Cruel will be performing her new single You Can't Kiss Me at next month's McM Expo London Comic Con, organisers have announced.
The Isle of Man schoolgirl, who shot to superstar status in Japan after the nation fell in love with YouTube videos of her dancing to anime songs, will be appearing on stage on both days of the pop culture convention.
Beckii - real name Rebecca Flint - was brought to a mainstream UK audience last year, when the story of her incredible rise to fame was told in a BBC3 documentary, Beckii: Schoolgirl Superstar.
So far, Beckii's YouTube channel has received nearly 19 million views, and she has also released music CDs, DVDs and even two best-selling English language learning books for her Japanese fans.
As well as singing You Can't Kiss Me - released on October 24 - 16-year-old Beckii will be performing a medley...

If you're a fan of American series FlashForward, you are sure to be interested in new British drama Paradox.
Starting on Tuesday, November 24, on BBC1, Paradox has crimes, cops and car chases but is unlike any other police show out there, despite the unavoidable comparisons that will be made with FlashForward.
Tamzin Outhwaite, 39, takes the lead in the new five-part drama and quickly realised it offered something different. "Initially I thought it was a sci-fi project," she says.
"Then I read the script and realised it wasn't at all. It's about a bunch of police officers who are trying to work out whether there is a wormhole between two time zones."
The story begins with space scientist Christian, played by Emun Elliott (pictured above), receiving crimescene-like images - apparently from the future.
He contacts Detective Inspector Rebecca Flint, played by Tamzin, and with the assistance of her police colleagues Ben...

Visions of the future are obviously the hottest new trend in television drama. There's been Lost, FlashForward and now the BBC's upcoming new sci-fi thriller Paradox.
Produced by Clerkenwell Films for BBC Northern Ireland, the series - to run as five one-hour episodes - stars Tamzin Outhwaite (The Fixer, Hotel Babylon) as Detective Inspector Rebecca Flint, who teams up with scientist Dr Christian King (Emun Elliott) when a series of images are transmitted from space into his laboratory.
The fragmented images appear to be of a major incident but suggest it is yet to happen.
Christian, Rebecca and her team, DS Ben Holt (Mark Bonnar) and DC Callum Gada (Chiké Okonkwo), face a race against time as they only have 18 hours to put together the clues and try to prevent tragedy.
How and why these images are being transmitted to them is a mystery. Forced to intervene in the course of destiny,...

If You could see the future, would you change it?
That's the dilemma facing Detective Inspector Rebecca Flint (Tamzin Outhwaite) and astrophysicist Dr Christian King (Emun Elliott).
They team up in the new BBC series Paradox when a series of rogue images are transmitted into King's laboratory from space.
The fragmented images appear to be of a major incident, but suggest it has yet to happen: it's in the future.
Christian, Rebecca and her team, Detective Sergeant Ben Holt (Mark Bonnar) and Detective Constable Callum Gada (Chiké Okonkwo), have just 18 hours to work out the clues and prevent a tragedy.
Paradox, a series of five episodes by Lizzie Mickery, is billed as "an intriguing, high-concept, high-octane, investigative drama, in which the team must not only prevent complex crimes and incidents, but wrestle with the moral and emotional implications of changing the future."
The series is coming this autumn. A transmission...
