There are rumours amongst Shoko-tan fans that she is not long in the world of show business, and that the cosplay idol and blog queen will soon be forced out entirely, having completely fallen from grace.
Exemplifying this is what must have been a crushingly humiliating appearance in a recent episode of variety programme “Anmitsu Hime 2”, where she was snubbed so completely as to not even have been given a microphone, let alone any sort of role:
She was conspicuously excluded from the teams on the show, and was basically ignored. Why even invite a talent to a show if they are not to participate? To grind a message home?
You’ll also notice she has not even been given a lapel microphone as everyone else has.
Fans have gone so far as to call this harassment, and it is easy to see why. She looks positively dejected.
It is said she may have fallen from favour in a show business clique (and is perhaps not as novel as she once was), resulting in the career destroying treatment you see.
It is not all crushing humiliation for Shoko-tan though. She still has her own TV programme, “Shokorita”, where she gaily engages in cosplay and singing, as you can see below with her Ranka Lee group cosplay, not her first by any means:
She looks happy enough here, but one TV programme does not a career make, and she might soon find it cancelled and herself disposed of should she further fall from grace.

With such blatant and harsh treatment, some informed commentators speculate that she may not last out the year; whatever the case, she is certainly at a perilous precipice indeed…
Soooo….those fers are asking for a ass whooping! *pulls out a knife* Death to the Shoko-tan haters!
delicious sukumizu idol MUST NOT FALL
Waa
This type of thing is normal in Japan.
“Land of Shame” as someone put it.
We’ll probably see Shoko on the streets of akihabara doing “wide open” shows soon.
i thought anmitsu-hime was a period drama, not a variety show? maybe this was the SP?
I think they were promoting the drama by being in a variety show. By the looks of it, I think its one of those quiz show that the teams are based off of popular dramas.
The name was just given as あんみつ姫２…
