Reminder that Perfect Blue didn't really embellish the whole idol otaku thing at all. And that was twenty years ago. In fact, because of the preponderance of live streams and social media, things are probably exponentially worse, since there's a constant stream of stuff they're sharing from their personal life which is only going to deepen that sort of mindset in some people's minds. Most fans will be like "yay, good for you" (her verifying the relationship is now literally the most popular tweet she's done and the thread is like 99.9% congratulations and "go for it") because they're not desperately broken people, but, as has been said: SatoshiMiwa posted:Like all internet based things across the world I imagine most aren't real but all it takes is one crazy to act on it

Just realised that Okada/SANADA is a match up between the two worst outfit changes of the last year. Longboys vs stupid bull mask. Whoever loses should be forced to revert to their previous look and so should the winner.

The Cameo posted:Reminder that Perfect Blue didn't really embellish the whole idol otaku thing at all. And that was twenty years ago. I remember Cracked wrote a pretty good article some time back about the idol groups in S. Korea and Japan. Here's an excerpt that seems pretty insane: quote:According to Ricky: "Everyone knows idols are human beings and have human relationships. But as long as that fact is under wraps, everyone can operate under the kayfabe of plausible deniability and keep the fantasy alive -- the fantasy that they have a chance with the girl. But if there are undeniable facts out there showing that the idol IS in a relationship, then the kayfabe doesn't work anymore." And the consequences of that can be horrifying. There was another thing I read, and it might have been on SA, about how some groups pump up their sales by giving tickets to meet n' greets with CD's, and dudes buy the tickets, go to a public restroom nearby before the event, beat off on their hands and then shake some poor idol's hand, because it's the closest they're ever getting to sexual contact with that woman. hosed up.

El Gallinero Gros posted:I remember Cracked wrote a pretty good article some time back about the idol groups in S. Korea and Japan. Here's an excerpt that seems pretty insane: Packing in lottery codes for concerts/meet and greets is like standard operating procedure in Japan/Korea/maybe China, I've never bought music from China directly so I don't know. I don't think I've ever bought an Asian CD in the last decade or so that hasn't had one and that's been picking through a reasonable variety of genres (it's very weird to order an album a few years old, getting it, and finding an outdated lottery ticket code on the inside). It's also something of a security measure, since agencies and record labels and the venue get information on every single attendee (never mind the data they get on every purchaser who actually uses the code) - which goes down to house number, ward, prefecture, phone number, age, gender, basically enough stuff to run against a criminal database. It also gives ticketing services like e-plus, which honestly feels like it's hosted on a server powered by handcrank, an idea of their maximum expected load, on top of the whole "juiced sales" thing. Trying to put the suggestion in readers' heads that the agency had that singer shave her head in contrition is a bit of a stretch (not that I expect much better from Cracked). Their control could only go as far as the public apology. If an agency could make an artist go so far to shave their head? There'd have been a lot more bald idols in the last decade. This is a somewhat common "scandal", honestly, enough of one that paparazzi have a tendency to follow these idols around in hopes of catching these sorts of moments. The "dudes jerking off and shaking a cummy hand with their idol" thing is a true thing, though. And it's really hosed up. At the very least there's hand sanitizer at those things. harperdc posted:And because groups like AKB-48 have built an empire on accessibility even more than before. It’s a disgusting empire, but an empire it is. Accessibility and a rotating cast to keep it perpetually young and fresh. It's a hell of a machine they've got there - if only it wasn't a grain thresher for the mental and physical state of the women involved. I mean, Jurina, the "ambassador" for Wrestle Kingdom this year, is only twenty and she's been at this for nine years already. Of course she's only got like four more years before the agency goes "probably time to replace her". Gotta love that weird quarter-century limit Japanese culture has on the "worthwhileness" of women! Anyway, wonder if New Japan will sell out Sapporo at all this year. Splitting into two nights might have been a mistake. Although Kenny/Juice did sell out Kobe Hall and that's got the same capacity and that was like the only major singles match on that show. Then again, Juice is over and Jay White... isn't, yet.

flashy_mcflash posted:Compromise: gigantic wide leg pants but they're completely transparent. Impossible: all of Okada's gear must be as sparkly as possible, and transparent pants would be less sparkly than his current gear. I'm almost convinced he did it because his jacket had achieved peak sparkle and so he needed more space for sparkles.

They asked him about the pants in the post-match press conference and he just laughed and was like "I wanted to try something different," so I wonder if it was just a one-off.

Juice vs Tanahashi-senpai would have been great, I want to see Juice feud with Ishii now, gives them both something to do other then tags. Juice would learn a lot from working with Stone Pitbull and accelerate his already fantastic in ring growth.
