Comments on: TV Report On The U-15 (Junior Idol) Boom In Japan http://www.japanprobe.com/2007/07/21/tv-report-on-the-u-15-junior-idol-boom-in-japan/ Japan News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:31:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: John Doe http://www.japanprobe.com/2007/07/21/tv-report-on-the-u-15-junior-idol-boom-in-japan/comment-page-1/#comment-81049 John Doe Wed, 05 Sep 2007 04:22:28 +0000 http://www.japanprobe.com/?p=2360#comment-81049 I can't help but feel empathetic for the young girls involved -- not because I believe they're being exploited, but because they're obviously very diluted if they think posing seductively for others to get off on will in any way advance their future attempts at stardom. They're just pidgeon-holing themselves at a far younger age than they need be at this point in their lives. Maybe it's no different if you're an idol of eighteen or older, but I have a feeling a lot of those girls are more realistic about what they're doing and how far it'll get them. I do feel bad that nobody bothered to show up for that girl's event, though. Christ, you'd think those "closet-freaks" could spare a moment out of the darkness to actually meet one of the girls they're getting off to on a regular basis. I wouldn't pass up such an opportunity.

They should all be arrested, and lose their children over it. No one came cos all the people who view these DVD etc. are closet freaks.

Also, I doubt most of the otaku in that video would want their faces exposed for fear that someone watching the report who might recognize one of them would probably go "(so-and-so)'s into underage gravure idols?! Ew!" or whatnot. That type of doink is the kind of otaku that deserves to be looked down upon, IMO. Though there are more positive portrayals of other types of otaku in Japanese news reports recently (though they still tend to be the "Ha ha, otaku are crazy" type), the U-15 idol otaku will probably forever be looked upon as creepy doinks in the news, and I can't blame them, really. キモすぎるよ。 For anonymity purposes, I guess.

Why is there nothing wrong with this. Well if there is nothing wrong with this than why do the freaks who enjoy have there faces blurred out. Sick. Why is there nothing wrong with this.
