Pretty much, though they don't actually have to leave the country 'cause Tokyo Disneyland is like, in Tokyo.

I would work in japan. I don't mind the terrible stereotype that foreigners have due to all the insufferable people. I think it's legitimately a good place to live and die.

japan is a decent place to live and the majority of stereotypes only get applied to you if you teach english as an ALT or at a cram school

if you have a real job people will think very highly of you

Have you seen 'Girl Model?' I think it's on Netflix still.

Basically it's about how scouts (usually former models themselves) go to little poor rural villages in Russia and find girls with the desired features to recruit as models. Like 10-12 year old girls. The recruiter mentions here that she personally looks for 'young' features because although she personally doesn't find that attractive that is what the demand is for. Anyway they then impress the poor villages with promises of wealth and glory with being models in Japan for commercials and billboards and whatever.

So then the girls go to Japan where they are given just outrageously awful contracts which can be violated for simple things like being a few grams overweight or eating too many calories in a day. They live in crappy conditions and are paid basically nothing. Then around 17-18 they are no longer attractive and often turn to prostitution since they didn't really get paid anything or educated at all.

The whole thing is probably run by organized crime in the end and this also applies to the pop 'idol' girls as well (except they are locals instead of blonde Russians).

And I should clarify that when I say around 17-18 they are 'no longer attractive' I mean they don't look like 12 year old girls anymore.

Also this

quote:

If her body doesn't develop the way it is expected to, it can lead to drastic measures on the part of the agency and the model. "A lot of girls have boob jobs, nose job when they're not even 18 years old...Agencies will actually advance [money for the surgeries], but then the models are even more in debt and there's even more pressure for them to keep up a certain physical appearance," Blais told us, adding that she was asked to get liposuction when she was just 18.

yeah they do this with their own young girls ala Hello!Project and AKB48, not to mention the "Junior Idol" industry (do not google those words). japan gets away with some creepy poo poo a lot more overtly than other places do

Japan has had some pretty great metal bands like Doom, Loudness, and United, but whenever someone mentions Japanese metal, it's always Babymetal nowadays, and that makes me pretty downright miffed

i was once on a local train in nagoya and these two guys got on going home after a morning musume concert or something and were fully decked out in neon shirts with hearts and the girls' names, keychains, lanyards, fans, wristbands all with the smiling dead eyed faces of 13 year olds on them

they got pointed at and laughed at by a couple 20 year old women

i mean use some common sense. if you have a creepy hobby change into regular clothes in the bathroom or something before you go home

And if one of these teenage girls is found to be dating a boy (y'know, like a normal teenage girl) she has to put on the sackcloth and ashes and tearfully apologize to her fans because she has failed to maintain the fiction that she is virginal and pure

E: Here's 20-year-old AKB48 member Minami Minegishi apologizing for spending the night with a guy:

Yes, she had to shave her head to atone for the shameful act of doing stuff that 20-year-olds do.
