Comment on AKB48′s Rino Sashihara Apologises for Having Sex with Fan by Gantz_Playboy:

I agree with your “They’re only human” analogy – consider: Tiger Woods or Micheal Vick or Mike Tyson – They had to potential to cause serious damage to their ‘Brand names’ if they continued on in the public eye after their scandals without a “public punishment” of sorts.

  It’s not even on the radar of the main AKB48 world. It’s WAAAAY off-off-off Broadway.

Maybe the Organization will use her to whip the younger girls into shape? By making the former rank #4 babysit the ‘Raw Talent’. Also it serves to show the newbies what happens when even a Top 5 Talent steps ‘out of line’- you …

  @Blaqcat – look at it like this. In the earlier days of Japan (like 100 years ago?) they had Geisha’s. The Geisha was cultivated & trained in the arts & such. Essentially you were a ‘rented’ piece of Living interactive ART. Today the “Idol” is pop-culture version of that (to a degree). No one wanted a ‘used up’ or defiled Geisha so it makes sense that if you’re a ‘Bad Egg’ in a sea of ‘Good Eggs’ (even though this is probably an illusion about the quality of ALL ‘Eggs’) You can’t be …

  AS the OFFICIAL “AKB 48 Otaku” of Sancom (Test me Bitches!) – I can hereby state the obvious! It’s the Giant Black Glasses Stupid! I’ve seen video of them crying & being woken up at 3AM as pranks by their fellow AKB members – 60% are still VERY attractive. Here is PROOF of what Maeda (the girl in Sancom’s story here) Yuko Oshima (Rank#1) and two other AKB top 16 members REALLY look like without Make-up!
