Top AKB48 idol Mariko Shinoda has expressed her dismay at one of her sweet cookies being sold for some $12,000 to one of her creepy fans.
The cookie itself was distributed along with various other idolatrous bric-a-brac at limited access reception party organised by a fashion label, and was apparently intended to be eaten rather than enshrined, or worse.
According to remarks on her official blog (published prior to the wayward cookie being sold), she “will be baking cookies until tomorrow morning” and “will bake 300 in a day!”
However, after learning of the million yen cookie auction she remarked on Twitter:
“I’m sad. And after I put my heart and soul into making it!”
In response to dismay amongst her followers at a hint of an emotion other than radiant happiness, she responded “it’s OK, I can always make more!”
Idol fan watchers yet again waste no time in leaping to bash the notoriously creepy AKB48 fans:
“Sad indeed.”
“She’s probably sad that she didn’t get to sell it herself.”
“Enjoy your cookie, buyer. It was probably made by another creepy old guy.”
“If she made 300 that would be 300 million yen… that’s how the cookie crumbles!”
“Expect them to start doing this.”
“Who cares!”
“Selling cookies rather than CDs sounds like a plan.”
“CD + cookie = profit”
“I’m suspicious – couldn’t the whole thing be a setup between the seller, the buyer, and her agency?”
“Probably all arranged to generate attention for this fashion brand.”
“A million yen would be worth to these guys just to get her to acknowledge them on Twitter.”
“This is great news surely. She has found her true calling and can now switch to being a baker and become fabulously wealthy.”
“Any otaku who’d drop a million yen on this ‘homemade’ cookie is an utter retard.”
“If you were a real fan you’d not want to eat this so your only recourse would be to sell it…”
“I could at least comprehend doing this with a K-ON! guitar – but not a cookie, no.”
“Maybe she is just sad it fetched a paltry ¥1,000,000?”
Don’t let me run a group like this… we’d be selling cookies made while the girls were in swimsuits from batter they rubbed all over themselves, except the price would be like $50k for a three pack, with special advertising that some lucky buyers may receive a baked in pube with their purchase.
These girls print money. Why not exploit the market for as much $$$ as possible?
Otaku in japan have to be the biggest fucking pack of losers in existance, I mean really, 12k for a damn cookie that she most likely brought at a store and just said she made.
I always thought those Bronis in the US and Canada were the biggest fucking losers….
Why can’t sankaku just leave AKB alone. These articles are so pointless.
OMG, what a drama……………………
Is she retarded??????
Poor Mariko having some otaku sell her cookie online.
… anything more than 50¢ for a single fucking cookie is too much.
“I d-don’t usually do this, you know! I-it’s not like I wanted to sell that cookie or anything, b-baka!”
Bitch is UGLY! Fuck, even I wouldn’t buy it or given for free.
Don’t understand it eihter>>
AKB48 is an anime….why would I be interested in a girl that just give the voice? Even if she is “hot”, or “boobalicius”? (what mariko obviusly not is) it would have nothing to do to the anime.
I’m sure she is grateful for your lack of interest, Trollboy.
Awww, there’s no need to be so jealous.
And you’re just one doosey of a fucking spring chicken, aren’t you? You could just go to japan and stand still in the middle of a busy city street and have all the female jap porn stars gush all over you, right?
So if an idol were to sell her urine/feces would otaku buy that too?
i can totally imagine someone tapping the sewer main coming from the akb offices…
That would certainly fetch much more than the cookie. More so if the fan can collect the fresh goods himself.
Probably …. probably yes.
Don’t give them ideas.
I am pretty sure she didn’t even actually make them, they are just preying on the stupidity of otaku over there. I don’t blame them either those guys tend to be total fucking morons who will believe anything their idol or whatever says.
what is creepier? The otaku or the otaku industry? Is the otaku not more like a “victim” of the shiny promissing money sucking otaku industry?
Seriously though, rather than having hand shaking events that forces them to come into contact with sticky fan palms, it probably IS a good idea for them to run bake sales.
Have everyone make cookies, give them pre-knead dough if they had to, and just have the girls cut out the shapes. It is a potential source of revenue. Better than a waste of plastic with those horrible CDs.
She should open cookie factory 🙂
Cookies! Brings a new meaning to the old term it was used for, probably long forgotten since the little 1 finger key typers on those stupid portable telephones without a rotary dial things.
meanwhile in africa
Who care about africa?
Why would anyone do this? He could finance an expedition to war torn parts of south east asia and buy some young sex slaves for that kind of money.
well thats not really fair cause they are a dime a dozen down there.
“I’m sad. And after I put my heart and soul into making it!”
i doubt she actually made it
I bet even the “I’m sad” comment was written by someone from their agency.
Pic 1. “Do not want”.
News at 6! Local Otaku marries a cookie. Reports say it was love at first bite!
who would buy a 1 million yen cookie if the ingredients is ordinary or whatsoever, except you put gold as an secret ingredient, think of the CHILDREN!!!
Imagine the demand if a secret ingredient was announced to the product!
The more embarrassing the more expensive (biscuit sniff panties)
or (biscuit shaped onaholes)
After all, sex sells ..
think in the fans more Horny!!!
That is one lonely-looking cookie.
Then return the money…
Oh… you’re not THAT sad? 🙂
I’d rather eat her than the cookie.
Not if you saw the cost: every cent you now own and will ever earn and a lifetime of Japan style servitude. There ain’t nothing more pathetic in this world than a Japanese husband.
I like this comment:
①アイドルが手作りしたものを配布
②ファン（を装った関係者）がそれを手に入れる
③オークションに出す
④１００万円の稼ぎwww
1.) Idol puts out her homemade stuff.
2.) Someone she knows acting like a “fan” obtains it
3.) Put it up for auction
4.) …
5.) (1 million yen) Profit! trololol.
How much would the equivalent of $12 k in “Fun/Sundry” budget would it buy in Ganguro girls? From outright prostitution to the less direct “Gifting and subsidized dating”? And I mean the adult ones, mmmkay? Check out “Smell of Black Skin” manga if you can find it/have it, that made my mighty sword almost pierce my throat!
you can’t have the cookie and eat it, too. Sad but true
well can you cum on it first?
1st thing that pop’d in my head, was that the cookie was about to get “frosted”,laughed my ass off… sad old world we live in ,huh?
By baking 300 cookies, she contributed more to the Japanese GDP than most people do in a lifetime!
Imagine what these girls can do if they start selling their bodies!
This made my day! And I thought sankaku couldn’t post anything more dumb! lmfao… oh sankaku you did it again!
This article made my day! This shit that show up lately….
Once the buyer eats the cookie, his soul and hers will be one.
Image how much a pair of her used panties would sell
I’m the only one who caught the cookie joke?
Seriously.
All that money…and you buy a fucking cookie? At what point do you wake up and realize “Holy fuck, I’m being exploited!” then take a gun an blow your fucking brains out? Or, well, a knife and stab your relatives.
Or just use that money to get yourself a boat, a bunch of hookers and blow, and “work out” whatever issues you got.
You know, there are some guys out there for whom 1 million yen is just pocket change. Just because he bought the cookie it doesn’t mean he cannot also buy the hooker-filled boat.
“She’s probably sad that she didn’t get to sell it herself.”
yep.
“She’s probably sad she didn’t get to sell herself with it”
Fixed that for you.
Shes making 300 more isn’t she? I bet she can hand them out later.
Congratz to a pathetic no life loser who bought it.
He’s probably going to put it on display under glass and preserve it as a family heirloom, next to his anime posters or whatever.
Yeah, put if it was distributed in such an package then it would be no surprise if someone sells it.
I just wonder who buys this stuff. OR more like who has the money?
Doesn’t family heirloom imply that the pathetic no life loser is going to actually have children?
Well, he can always be *that* creepy uncle, I guess.
I would like to know how these people get that kind of money, just to spend it on a cookie.
They work as software developers: $$$
And they live at home with their parents: No Rent
Times are changing man. Not everyone can afford to live on their own when the cost of living is so god dang high.
Any parent who doesn’t give their child the traditional “get the fuck out” 18th birthday present deserves any misery their child brings them. I saved mine the trouble and left home well before I was 18.
Nah the real one was probably eaten already and a fake is being distributed, eaten again and repeat.
wasting money on three d is utter foolishness
Was it AKB48 that throw presents gratiosly given to them away? Think of all the money people have spent doing that.
Honestly they have no right to complain about someone trying to make money.
“Who cares!”
^
Would buy a beer for him.
you put no soul in it ; you sold it to your agency long ago
“Maybe she is just sad it fetched a paltry ¥1,000,000?”
My thoughts exactly.
Question is. who are worst: MOETARDS or IDOL FANATICS??
I vote for moetards!
Definitely idol fans. At least 2D girls can’t completely fuck their fans over.
Indeed, 2D girls cannot fuck their fans AT ALL.
Moe’s the pity… XD
Their fans fuck themselves over. Nobody holds a gun to their heads and says, “Buy this!”.
you are wrong.
Moetards. That’s usually the beggining of an Idol fanatics
I think Ignorant bastards such as yourself are the worst kind.
I think the ignorant bastard hit it too close to home for you, right?
Ignorant?
Tell that to moetards that know nothing but moe!
Me I know anime series from the 60s till know, INCLUDING MOE series!!
^
1UP to this.
she should make porn
I would like to eat her cookie. or at least fap to seeing her cookie being eaten…
Sad panda.
I see what you di.. oh.. well, nevermind.
Am I the only one who thinks that all these news and auctions are “faked” by the AKB management to make people talk about them? It’s suprising that it is almost exactly 1 Million Yen, better than 2324174yen.
No, you are not the only one, I think exactly the same. This and “guy buy $5000 worth of CD for handshaking events are just merchandising tactics.
I don’t doubt there are lot of strange people with lots of money but the numbers are too high to be mere stupidity.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this were true, knowing Akimoto’s antics… (the group’s producer)
I have always been kind of shocked of her popularity. I like her, but she has never been the most outgoing, funny, attractive, quirky best singer/dancer of the bunch.
Ms. Shinoda is a sad panda.
“I’m sad. And after I put my heart and soul into making it!”
Does that mean her heart and soul is only worth $12000? Sounds like a bargain to me! Why buy the cookie when you can have the baker? 😀
12000 a bargain? You can buy the soul and the body of prettier women for less than a half of that.
