AKB48 member Yuka Masuda has been forced to quit the group in scandalous circumstances after the outrageous revelation that she “stayed the night” at a man’s house.
In a post on her official blog, the 21-year-old idol admitted that she “had stayed the night” at fellow entertainer ISSA’s house, and pledged her complete retirement from AKB48:
There was an article about me in a weekly magazine yesterday.
It said I stayed the night at ISSA of DA PAMP’s home.
Some things in the article have no basis in fact, but it is true I stayed the night at his house.
To my supportive fans, team members, staff and family, who have all been greatly disappointed by this, I must apologise for my rash actions which have caused so much trouble to everyone and been so widely misunderstood.
I’ve been worrying over what to do from here on, and although it is sudden I think I must retire from AKB48.
To quit like this feels inexcusable, I’m really sorry for all my fans.
Aside from her disgraceful conduct betraying the ardent belief of thousands of otaku in the integrity of her hymen, there is also further outrage at her choice of illicit partner – photos of her with ISSA and his clique show him to have been a choice almost calculated to aggrieve her creepy fans with his outgoing antics and winsome looks:
Understandably, this is not in keeping with her official image of being a pure and unsullied maiden serving only the needs of her dear fans, despite her taking every opportunity to show off her undeniable charms to all comers:
The “freshness seal” that is so coveted is simply overrated. Woopty doo you now have hymen blood on your ding dong. Sexually competent women are more fun anyway.
I think there are plenty of ways to stay famous. The problem is that the Japanese fan base isn’t very forgiving. The girl could get work as an actress. And everyone knows that when acting there are some bed scenes. At least for the serious Japanese actresses they don’t have crazed otaku followers causing them to be fired. And I’m not talking about porno actresses. All who think that she should star in a Porno are just beta males who don’t respect the women what-so-ever. Sure she’d be great in a porno..but one shouldn’t says should go straight for it. If she hasn’t tried everything she can to survive in show business then she shouldn’t fall to being a porno star. And if there is no other choice than that leaves two options. Retire for showbiz or take the plunge and fall to being a fallen idol or a porno idol. Becoming a porno star is the easy way out and in my terms, if any of the idols had any pride, it would be beneath them to dive into a porno without testing your talents. That’s just saying “I’m third-rate” from the very start.
SO is she from da hood now? She made the first step by dating a gangsta pok gai, didn’t she?
ISSA, huh? I wonder if Yuka Masuda thinks that the end Justiφ’s the means? 😛
seriously, who fucking care, look at this woman pictures and the idol thing, its all about being sexy and fucking. be in some otaku mind or in some shady apartment with several men.
What is about the Japanese and there creepy obsession with Virginity and purity?
Fans are shocked because a beautiful 21-year-old isn’t a virgin. What kind of nitwits expected her to be?
lucky guy – as to firing girls that do this kind of thing what most people forget is the main back office reason for this is that the companies that run these girls also run lots of younger girls handed over by their parents. The older girls are looked up to by the younger girls and as such in the parents minds they don’t want their little girls looking up to girls that “spoil” themselves. If the agencies don’t take quick and decisive actions they risk having their younger crop of talent pulled out from under them.
The whole otaku baww is not much of an issue as they get over it and most already know the girls are getting nobbed by somebody.
props for commenting with a different take on the article.
I never really fully understood this part of Japan… Its like if you are a idol you are prohibited from marrying, having a boyfriend, staying over at some man’s place, just have sex with someone you like etc.
She’s 21, she is old enough to atleast fuck a guy if she wants. I dont see why that has to anything with leaving the group. but whatever…..
Idols are whores, a whore must do what their john pays them to do. And in this case, the john pays for them to maintain their purity. In the end they’re still whores thou.
oh no, grown up people having sex?
the horror!
“I decided to stay the night after a tiring game of yahtzee” WHORE!!!
Yahtzee? In manga good girls play “trump”. Oh I see… Yahtzee is the whores game.
In the words of Liam Lynch, So fucking what
AV!AV!AV!
Whats so wrong about having sex that they have to quit?
Whats so wrong about having sex that they have to quit?
She’s using the scandal as a quick excuse to quit. She hasn’t been performing with AKB for months because she’s been in the musical Wiz and it was pretty clear that she was enjoying herself far more there than she was in AKB.
The whole purpose of AKB is to act as a springboard for these girls careers. Not a career.
Sankaku blows all AKB stories out of proportions because sleazy weaboos like yourselves read more when sex, pantsu and rape are involved. The comments are also more inflammatory and more people visit the site. This works because you guys know nothing about Japan proper and everything about anime, manga and games. If you really knew shit about Japan you wouldn’t be reading this site. You’d know it was all ridiculously poorly written and full of exaggeration.
Raise your hands if you want her to become the next Rina Nakanishi! Any takers?
Nope. I want her to be a proper actress, none of that idol bullshit.
Once one just accept and understand that most 3D as bitches and whores, one can be insensitive and not fawn over such bitches. So, don’t get emotionally attached to 3D and just get a fap over it.
But with that said, she got what she deserved. No, I am not her deranged fan or anything but hey it’s only natural that one must pay the consequences for one’s action.
Why cant a girl now a day sleep at some guys house and not do it, and just sleep.
I don’t think every member of AKB48 is are Virgins, they just haven’t been caught on tape, that’s all.
Beatuful Girl in Japan claiming to be Virgin = Either “She” is NewHalf or She is Lesbian.
This is how retarded Japan is people. I’d give the guy a high five if I met him.
He’s like an Asian Hugh Jackman. Of course she’s going to retire for him.
Seriously, look at that manly stubble.
My thoughts exactly. He’s not a bad lookin’ dude at all.
The otaku are all just jealous that he’s hitting that. And believe you me, he is. Just look at that christmas pic where his hand’s on her hip. That body language just screams “yeah we’re fucking.”
Here’s to hoping that her fans now collectively commit ritual suicide.
wow… somehow you managed to sound worse than those idol fans you profess to hate so much. maybe time to take your own advise?
Sweet so how long until her av debut?
She has “BITCH” written all over her face, surely the japotaku saw this cumming.
lol
LOL pure maiden in Japan….Where? Really Sancom you make my day.
The Japanese make wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too big if a deal over crap like this. Relax, light up a spliff and chill.
Man.. if she’s really in love with that man.. she should just admit it frontally, just tell the media “I love him, we are going out”. No need to do it secretly to be found out by some cheap media this way.. I think most of the fans will understand. Falling in love is the right for every human.
So will this idol be remembered by the AKB0048?
My ultimate goal in life, is to go to Japan, seduce an AKB48 girl and enjoy all the delicious butthurt from her fans.
I had to login to + that. God Speed.
That is a noble and worthy goal, and I wish all the best of luck in accomplishing it.
She did well. Now she can really live as a normal girl and do something better with her life (Which means getting into a more successful career without having to fake anything, now that AKB48’s version of Big Brother isn’t watching over her).
she cannot live as a normal girl because she has no particularly useful skills. she spent her time as an idol instead of studying and go to a university. she is, in every sense of the word, screwed. if by “doing something better with her life” and “getting into a more successful career” you mean going into AV business, then sure, she still got some time. but the clock is seriously ticking for her. it’s either that or become someone’s wife at this point, and i just don’t see that “musician” boyfriend of hers maning up and marry her.
And this is part of the reason Japan’s birthrate is in the toilet and no one is fucking. Get over it you virgin bastards lusting for a woman most of you will never have. I bet if you put all that time, energy, and money into a real woman instead of worshiping these talent-less airheads, you’d care less about what they are doing and actually have some real tits in your face, losers. Career over because she slept at a man’s house, then how serious was it then.
oh the irony… this coming from a guy with photo of a woman he has no chance of as his avatar/icon for sancom account… it’s practically dripping. 😀
… creepy otaku, why do you even care if she’s a virgin or not… These days almost no girls above the age of 16 is a maiden anymore.
I have absolutely no sympathy for the otakus or Masuda.
This little virginity charade wouldn’t even lift off if those stupid men never put out cash for this kind of fad. Those idols otakus with their terribly crooked perception of women got played by AKB’s management and its clever marketing machine, but they are the ones who willingly got into the game.
As for Masuda, why join AKB if you’re truly in for music? You bitch and moan when these ‘fans’ call you out for so much as having a fuckbuddy, but haven’t all the written and unwritten rules be known to anyone going playing into such fad? Play the game right or don’t play at all.
I think this is the post I can most agree with. The fans themselves know they’re getting caught into a mindless marketing machine and are doing nothing but making it worse.
However the idols sign contracts and know what they are getting into. If they were in it for the music and didn’t want to abide by the virgin rules they could’ve tried forming a local band.
I say in the end both sides are at fault.
>21 years old
Get out, hag.
kind of annoying hearing news like this cant they have a normal life outside work hours
In a way, public celebrities of just about any stripe are always “on the clock” even when they’re not really working. The public often tries to watch them even when (and especially when) they don’t want to be watched.
One again, drawkcab ssa reasoning leads to losing your work. Way to go Japan.
Well they do look like a fun bunch to hang around .
let her fuck who she wants
NO can do, she can only fuck past 30 and if she is married!
Not all people want and desire and promiscuous life and sluts.
None of these girls give a fuck about what you sad-sack virgins want or desire for your masturbatory fantasies. Now go cry into your crusty pillow.
And not a single fuck was given that day.
I’d feel kinda bad for Masuda if all this happened and it turned out she didn’t even fuck.
That dude looks like like a modern day Jack Sparrow, who also happens to be japanese, not a pirate, and not as awesome, crazy, or even good looking as the original.
I just get this vibe from him, dunno why.
Either that, or a bit of a hobo, he kinda looks like the one I saw in LA a few month ago on his last picture…
so wheres the video with the sex scene?
Looking at those pictures, I cant help but laugh because this whole thing reminds me of the plot of some doujins I’ve read over the years.
You know the type: nice and homely girl gets corrupted by a fugly delinquent dude and his mad sex skills, etc. (well, he’s not quite THAT bad looking, but some of these pics arent flattering him, like #4 for example).
Yeah, I bet the sex must have been great!!
Also laughing because whole situation can in the first place even exist in the modern world, but hey, why am I surprised – people are crazy, everyone knows that. Everything’s perfectly normal.
Gee, There’s this young, beautiful, healthy girl with normal desires and a desire for a normal private life.
Then there are her otaku fans……
Not everyone wants to spend their life rubbing up and down on a dirty crusty dakimakura. Get a life!
Easy, she knew hat kind of screwed up business this is. Yet, she jumped in, she need to follow the rules she decided to follow, she broke them, then its spot on that she was fired.
If she didn’t want it to be like that she should have remained an anonymous everyday girl, noone would care about her life in any way (save from friends, family, etc)
But she decided to be famous and get money for expensive brand bags IN AN IDOL GROUP….AND AKB40 to boot!!
Implying that celebrities don’t deserve privacy every once in a while?
Jesus are you really that retarded?
You try keeping up a fake, bubbly, innocent persona 24/7 for months at a time.
I bet you couldn’t even make it out of your house with a shirt that isn’t covered in jizz stains.
Anon at 12:46, 1/12/12
You have a very fucked up sense of how fame works.
People don’t just get paid to be famous. More often than not, fame is a byproduct of their success in a particular field.
Being a celebrity is not (usually) a career in and of itself. Celebrity most often comes as part of being notable as an actor, singer, or performer. Hell even scientists can become celebrities. Are Stephen Hawking or Neil deGrasse Tyson any less deserving of privacy than other physicists simply because they’re well-known and widely published?
How is it so difficult for you to understand that everybody is entitled to at least some modicum of privacy regardless of their occupation or social status?
I feel sorry for your mother having to wash your cum-stained clothing every week.
no, celebs don’t deserve privacy. why is this so hard to understand? they are _BEING PAID FOR NOT HAVING PRIVACY_. why do you think they get paid more than you, or that scientist who spent decades for a doctorate and working to advance human understanding of the universe?
Jesus you are really that retarded…
You try make more money as an astrophysicist than some young bubbly innocent persona.
I bet you couldn’t even make it out of undergraduate…
Sure, btw nice avatar, that tells us much about you …..
So I guess they’ll be AKB47 now… until they find a replacement.
Inb4 future AV career
I’m guessing it’s too much to hope for to have this or any other recent “scandal” of AKB48 to be put into the upcoming season of AKB0048?
Thats what you get, you dirty harlot…
Something from nothing.
I don’t really see how the girls can take slutty pictures like this and still keep their ‘pure’ image.
Damn it, I actually had the dramabutton open in a tag, but I forgot to press it at the right point.
http://www.dramabutton.com/
Ill understamd otaku “culture.” I understand having a pashion about something, but this is just too much.
-never understand- stupid phone
He probably tapped that ass,but she´s a fool if she thinks she´s the only one,guy looks like a player and they tap many asses.
>Been in more than one relationship.
>Totally a player.
Why does a 21 year old having a relationship equate to a scandal? Messed up…
This is not a 21-year-old human.
This is an idol.
She doesn’t fart or poop.
All scandals aside, it’s not surprising to me what type of guys these idols/seiyuu end up dating. They always seem to be the exact opposite of creepy fans; outgoing, loud, confident, flirty, masculine.
After being surrounded by, and in some cases stalked by creepy-otaku, these girls’ attraction to both alpha-males and playboys is probably much higher as a result. The hardcore fans most likely feel a sense of rejection whenever things like this happen, which leads to all the potential backlash.
This media-industry business model that make fans have a sense of ownership of the girls, is really unhealthy. It’s never a good thing when grown men act like hardcore “Twilight” fans.
i don’t see anything wrong with it, she’s willing to sell an image that give the mass hope of being with a female; and the otakus are willing to pay for an illusion. it’s rather retarded to claim pandering false hope can ever be healthy when the target audiences are not healthy to start off with. as to the guys they were caught dating, all i can say is “good fucking god these women can do so much better” they always get caught with some loser who wouldn’t matter in 5 years anyways. it would’ve been better if they got caught with some executive of a media company or a famous director or something… throwing away career over those band guys just seems to be such a waste.
hope she do an AV… looking forward to it~
If in her contract its mentionned that a relationship is forbidden well too bad… not seen, not caught!
Masuda Yuka was probably gonna leave AKB soon anyway. She’s been focusing on herself more as of late and distancing herself from AKB, working in plays and shit.
Her leaving sucks because she’s one of AKB’s most powerful singers, but her talent has gotten her oppritunities outside the group so its probably best for her career to graduate. Sucks her name had to be tarnished though.
Maybe this was the only way for her to “break” her contract soon enough to take best advantage of those opportunities without invoking any adverse legal repercussions.
I just have three words. FUCK JAPAN OTAKU
Really, a girl has to apoligize and quit her job when she spends the night at a friends house? Seriously, the otaku in japan just need to have their balls cut off. Get a fucking life.
Why is this stuff tolerated?
-because her ‘job’ is a fraud in the first place. She may be pretty but let’s be honest here. She likely wouldn’t even BE a celebrity at all if not for AKB48 and its factory assembly-line idols.
Which came first, the obsessive otaku or the creepy pandering idol group? Chikan, meet egg.
Female friend ok, dirty male friend NOT! Wjats are the chances this asshole and this slutty girl were just eating cakes, drinking tea and watching K-ON! ???????
sure, if she’s spending an afternoon… overnight it gets sketchy.
Yes they do. Why because they are IDOL. This has happened before with other IDOLs. Pretty much this is a norm for Japan. IDOLs have different standards if they want their stuff to sell.
You guys are a half step from radical Islam. I hope that you realize that.
Still I find it very VEEERY weird the so called idols cant date or have sex with men while being an idol. lol just lol. Japan a good place for women?
Idols are meant to be “dream girlfriends.” They belong to you in heart, spirit, and fantasy, but not in the flesh. If you’re a girl, you’re supposed to think, “I wanna be just like her…” and if you’re a guy, you’re supposed to think, “I wanna girl just like her…”
And then you’re supposed to go out and buy all her songs and buy everything she’s been commanded to advertise, recommend, and use.
And people wonder why these girls cringe at handshake events and throw away gifts from otaku…
Its is their own fault to join the band, they should know better who is going to be their fans.
>Join a production company to launch your entertainment career, hopefully in a few years you can move on to something better!
>Hoards of greasy, smelly, creppy, possessive fans that your manager probably downplayed the prominence of in order to get you to sign the contract
>”HERP DERP IT’S UR OWN FAULT STUPID WHORE”
The Japanese idol businesses is fucking retarded! Hell, you can compare the idol otakus with 12 year old twilight fangirls and you wouldn’t be to far off. Something is very wrong with the Japanese society if grown men behave as 12 year old girls.
Then again, the businesses sells these girls as pure, untouched virgins to the hordes of basement dwellers worshipping them. If anything, I feel both sad and disgusted at the same time for these poor losers.
I don’t get how you have stories like this and then you have tentacle raep and the weirdest porn on the planet plus loli and junior idols are legal. Are you moral or immoral Japan? get it together.
She is very beautiful.
And unlike her mad fans, she has a life.
A normal, lively and lovely girl.
Yeah, and jealousy aside, he kind of looks like a weasel.
Who have bedded some of the most beautiful girls in showbiz Japan.
Dated:
Fukumoto Sachiko
Fujii Lena
Uehara Takako
Shibasaki Kou
Ewww… my keyboard is not sticky thank you!
Ewwww! My keyboard is not sticky!
Your monitor and keyboard must be so sticky.
LOL, jealousy aside, that description is spot-on 😀
And damn she really is beautiful.
that’s fat? what?
Don’t forget fat!
They obviously played the game of life.
is she doing 1 man or all of em
One or three, I don’t care as long it is recorded and sold as an AV
I approve this message.
Became a JAVstar, like Hitomi-sempai.
In general, a good girl has been “done” already!
lol why is it such a problem to stay over at a dudes life? Why are people so interested in their personal life. They can have a boy friend whats it to everyone else? LOL, enjoy her for her singing/dancing I don’t know how its a scandal unless she released a porno/nudes or something.
Because the AKB48 otaku won’t like her if they think she’s not a virgin (as if she was before). And no, it doesn’t make any sense.
These guys give otaku a bad name.
Correction, all otaku give otaku a bad name.
That’s the problem. AKB48 has virtually nothing going for them save for their highly professionally implemented otaku pandering.
If she was a normal musician, there would be no problem. Unfortunately, the music is the last thing on the minds of her money spending “fans”, and it’s not supposed to be either.
Not that I agree with such a business model. If she had a good time that night then I’m happy for her. But in this despicable industry it’s basically career suicide.
Bingo. The ABC123 groups would have things going even better if they just did porn instead of their crappy music. The otaku would prefer 48 schoolgirl lesbian orgy.
Completely agree. AKB48 doesn’t sell music, they sell images. And the most important thing on that kind of business is the image of the idols. If she were to be known as a non-virgin woman, it’ll be the end of her carreer, because of the fans that “support” her pretty much own her life, and they will NOT buy her image if she were a “second-hand” woman.
So, since the agency doesn’t want to pay an idol that does not sell (or maybe not good enought to be profitable), the agency dismisses her.
Apparently, for the idols in AKB48, is more important their business than their own lives. And apparently, for the fans of AKB48, is more important the body of the idol than the music she “sings”. So, both the agency and the fans can go screw themselves.
And the idols just need to get some damn self-respect.

> Implies they are adults when thy join
> has no idea how grooming works
I also find your news person analogy hilarious. Hilariously bad, that is. On the one hand, being recruited into a job where you’re required to behave unnatural and having to quit because you ended up behaving natural after all. On the other, entering a completely normal job and having to quit because you did something unethical. DOES NOT COMPARE
Also, as others said, for a girl as actually talented as her it’s quite likely she did this on purpose. It’s a way of saying “fuck you, I’m ‘graduating’ from this shit on my own”. Now she’s free of AKB48’s selective promotion scheme. Can only do her good if she’s serious about singing.
@ryusoma
Why yes, the managers and agents who make a shitload of money from grooming underage girls for the idol industry are crafty businessmen.
The women who try to make the best of a social environment that promotes totally warped attitudes towards them and is generally incredibly hostile to their prosperity are calculating bitches. Yeah.
Gackt for example he the oldest artist Male music artist who came from Okinawa which is a shock to me because some Japanese don’t like them from what I hear but he manage become a famous and accepted by the fans.
It has nothing to do with self-respect. This is purely business, and the agency knows that once you take toys out of the wrapper, they’re worthless on the collectors market.
Also, to Yuka Masuda and other idols like her.. if you don’t know and understand these rules going in, then you get what you deserve. No, it isn’t fair but that’s what you signed up for.
Either these idols really are that clueless and naive, or they’re even more calculating bitches than anyone thinks; deliberately predicting when they’re famous enough to get cut loose from AKB and still make a ‘career’.
good luck with paying the bills with her self-respect. nobody forced her to become an idol, she made a calculated financial decision. you can try to fault the industry all you want, but ultimately she understood what was involved, and wanted to be in it. there is no way to blame the industry for her not able to keep her end of the bargain. it’s the same as being a news-person claiming to be objective, then donate a large sum to one of the political party. it’s about being an adult and being responsible for her own actions, she’s paying for the consequences of her actions.
she’s a fucking idol, she’s supposed to be married only to the fans, don’t u get it?
She’s a fucking human being. She has her own needs and wants that have nothing to do with her creepy-ass neckbearded fans.
Don’t you get it, you mouth-breathing 30 year old virgin?
I think that was sarcasm, actually…
She is a fake, not able to sing singer, who supported by creepy guys that love her face and body more than her song.If she start to piss off the creepy guys, the group will lose their only/most supporter, meaning less income for the higher up. Kicking her out can solve this problem, so that is what they are doing to her.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0NBjETbe8Q&feature=related
Fake my plastic shiny butt, she was the BEST voice of AKB48, and to be honest, I think she fucked up on purpose, since the group only promotes a few members (aside the most popular girls of every year, lolibait is being promoted at the moment)-
So fucking stupid they expect her to be a virgin, fucking silly. But man she does look pretty nice hopefully she go in AV like another member of AKB did. Which was hawwt
Good call. She is going to be hot stuff in AV world
so where’s the part about him being married or the part about a sex tape, or something like that???
japanese can’t be clueless enough to call THIS a sex scandal…right?
If you dont understand the idol business, then dont comment. In any other country/business this is not a scandal. In Japans idol business this is not only a scandal but the end of a career too.
Just because it’s another culture doesn’t mean it’s not retarded.
Treating people like objects is shameful in a civilized society.
Maybe they just played like Monopoly.
Damn Monopoly taking forever, and ruining friendships.
I really don’t understand how you people can keep arguing about this shit. Idols are being paid for remaining “pure”. Nobody could possibly care about the abortions they sell as music. So it should be obvious that a idol sleeping around would be fired.
I read “sex” where is teh porn?
Welcome to Japan, a peace loving country where having tattoos gets you banned from the beach, and having sex gets you fired!
In the shitty USA too, maybe not the tattoe but ask the shit trouble that Clinton, Obama security, recent CIA-Military got into for sex.
That’s just the Republicans playing political games with the Democrats so it doesn’t count.
Yeah, its not scandalous at all for the Secret Service to be in a honey trap while on the job.
that is because japanese morals are far higher then anyone else in this world
Yeah, the panty vending machines and middle school girl porn really demonstrates their lofty morality.
Do explain how having tattoos is immoral, and discriminating against them is not.
Also, do explain the morality of interfering with other people’s sex life.
“a tatoo is some meaningless act of impulse”
Yeah no. That’s only if you’re a retard.
Most people who get tattoos spend weeks or even months deciding what they want their tattoo to look like.
Even if it is an act of impulse, it’s their body, it’s their choice. No one else has the right to tell them that they’re immoral because of it.
You’ve made a nice little speech there, Pyrus, but I’ve had my fair share of conversations with lawyers and politicians. Just because you will phrase something in a slightly different matter doesn’t mean that you are correct.
Let me give you a hint here:
You paint a car black, or you paint it yellow. You paint something on a canvas, or you paint something on a piece of paper. You draw on a piece of parchment or you draw on skin. It’s not such a hard concept to understand, is it? Having tattoos might imply connection to certain layers of society (this can be easily be seen in the street gangs of the Western countries, as well as already mentioned Yakuza), but that doesn’t change the fact that it is art; everybody does art, and only a minority does it to display faction affiliation. Most people make pictures because they are fun, not because they want the world to know about their evil schemes against the society.
If you want to prevent STDs from spreading, and unwanted pregnancies, you start a marketing campaign for a contraceptive.
As for adultery, I must point out that sex life is important to every mammal specie’s functioning. For humans it goes even further- it is deeply connected to our psyche on a deeper level. There is a large number of psychological illnesses that are derived from a lack of normal sexual functioning. If there was enough quality sex in a relationship, there wouldn’t be a need for committing adultery.
The Japanese are functioning on obsolete moral values that simply cannot sustain a modern society.
Japan needs more personal freedoms, not less.
In spite of what any one individual may think about the rightness or wrongness of any given action or attitude any society may adopt, that society is what it is: a group of people who mostly share a core group of values, morals, and ideas on what is acceptable or not; what is good or not; what is right or not. Every single member will not agree completely on every single aspect, but what they do agree on, even if only partly and even if only some of them, comes out as a collection of the dos and don’ts (written and unwritten) of that society.
For the Japanese, that means that tattoos are for the Yakuza. It’s not the truth, but that’s how they believe. Yes, some of them realize that elsewhere in the world it’s not like that and they now want to have tattoos that are just art to be admired, but those people aren’t living elsewhere in the world, they are living in Japan. And the same thing goes for idols, sex, and idols having sex. It might not be fair or make good common sense, but that’s how it is. In time it will change, but not until their society as whole makes that change.
If you have a tattoo, you’re with the Yakuza.
You’re not interfering with their sex life, you’re stopping them from spreading STDs, committing fornication & adultery, having unplanned pregnancies, acquiring reputations as cheap sluts & whores (women) or faithless & womanizing dogs (men), and in general just showing people what a considerate, moral, caring, just, and upstanding person you really are. And nothing at all to do with any shame or insecurities about your own sexual identity or tendencies, or any jealousies you may harbor about the fact that someone’s getting laid other than you.
Who the fuck cares about your cultural values and how you think your way of thinking is the right way.
Japan have their cultures and you have yours, get off this site since you seem to not be able to stand Japan’s culture.
Japan have a history of only Yakuza and people in the underground business get tatoos.
And anybody who is weak minded that need to rely on a tatoo to keep them sane and on track, or not being able tell that a tatoo is some meaning less act of impulse and will stay with them the rest of their lives, should not be in charge of handling other citizen’s lives, cuz they can’t even get their own lives straight.
Idol is a profession. If you have singing abilities you are a singer. If you have acting abilities you are an actress. Idol have the looks but the rest is not professional enough to be called a singer nor actor nor whatever. Idol is a profession to sell an image of purity, so yes you are not allowed to date or have sex. You are not supposed to let people find out, it is part of your job description that you are selling a dream and phantasy to the otakus who have awkward time with women.
Either way, they are just being professional about their jobs.
You don’t live in Japan so it doesn’t affect you anyway. They are a successful country that they are now because of their general culture of professionalism about everything. Japan is not forcing you to like their country anyway. So just get off the site if you don’t like it.
Higher moral? A woman get fired because she had sex with someone she like is a wrongdoing? I knew regular Japanese girls, like rest of the world lose their virginity in high school, and it consider a normal thing. Why it is any different for an idol? You should know, she might be already having sex with her boss, and you don’t know that because they never told you. She just pretending to be pure, because that what otaku wanted.
Lol and Japan wonders why they have such a low birth rate.
Sex is like.. taboo in Japan if it’s 3d.
When is the AV video shoot?
So you think everybody who had sex should be porn stars?? you virgin beta
damn u r an idiot, she was akb member, after her scandal there will be no place for her anymore in show biz, except for AV.
Where do u get off calling a virgin beta? It’s omega, get it right lol
Have you not noticed how many “stars” get into AV after they fuck up? It’s surprising, even to me.
Neither is the Earth. And it’s Japan we’re talking about here, so their mentality IS relevant. Dipshit.
Well that’s just japanese mentality,and japan is NOT the center of the universe, you japanease wannabe
Well in Japan, it’s the only way to stay famous after you dun goof’d.
So…where is the video?
She is 21 so it’s perfectly normal for her to be having sex.
NO ITS NOT OK UNTIL SHE MARRIES!!!
When you know how some otaku reacted over the fact that in Kannagi the main heroin Nagi, a several hundred year old goddess, was in fact a “used product” (I’m quoting some comments from back then), I’m not surprised that Idol otaku are no better than manga otaku. I remember that the author even received threat letters from some of Nagi’s “fans”… Seriously it would be funny if it wasn’t so moronic.
Not in the eyes of idol otaku and otaku in general.
From normal peoples eyes probably. But those creepy otaku fan won’t accept any idol who is not as pure as themselves (even though it is for different reasons). so it is easy: no virgin -> no creepy fans -> no money -> no job
it’s as easy and bitter as that.
“Not as pure as themselves”? You mean the idol-otakus? They are filthy and disgusting.
When will the world learn: virginity is worth shit, “purity” can not come from the body.
Were you brutally anal raped by an Otaku?!
Well said.
All “pure” idols should have required monthly hymen inspections, those who refuse or fail can become race queens & AV girls.
he probably just slut shamed her into thinking she’s something she wasn’t, and she must have been raped.
…
I can’t really elaborate on this, its just a feeling.
He looks just like the guy your mom warned you about.
Oh no guys he has facial hair! RUN!
