“Super-carnivore” AKB48 idol Rino Sashihara has partially admitted allegations that she pursued one of her own creepy otaku fans for sex, and has been dumped from the group and banished to the wastes of Kyushu.
The 19-year-old idol tearfully apologised for the scandal she still insists mostly did not happen and revealed that she had been transferred to (i.e. sacked and given a face-saving exit) obscure alphabet soup sister group HKT48:
It’s true that that person was a friend of mine. I’m really sorry about this.
[…]
When I first heard about the article, I didn’t know what to think.
But when I read it, I was shocked. A lot of it wasn’t true, but it is true that that person was my friend.
After that I couldn’t keep my food down, and I hyperventilated during the tour. I couldn’t even speak to my mother, and reading the comments of my fans on my blog made my heart ache. I’m so sorry.
Her “transfer” to HKT48, a group with an average age of 13.8 and a reputation for possessing only the “raw” part of “raw talent,” is widely viewed as a demotion, exile, punishment, or prelude to outright sacking:
“What!?”
“She’s totally admitting it all…”
“Congratulations on your promotion there!”
“Isn’t this a demotion?”
“HKT is based in Fukuoka, way over in Kyushu, so this is the last we’ll be seeing of her in Tokyo!”
“This slut admitted it and she still wasn’t fired?”
“So why wasn’t Akimoto fired…”
“She was just banging people as part of her job so she was blameless.”
“So the rest of HKT are OK with having lascivious whores in their ranks?”
“They can’t be too pleased at being used as a dumping ground for scandals.”
“If none of it was true why can’t she say which parts aren’t true?”
“Probably just the part about him being handsome wasn’t true.”
“She got off real light!”
“Especially since she has essentially admitted it was all true.”
“So now she’s reduced to doing local pachinko ads in Fukuoka…”
“From heaven to hell in one fell swoop.”
“What the hell is HKT48 anyway?”

well unmarried sex is against the christian way
Wow. All from having a lover/boyfriend. That's pretty sad how they cater to these delusional idol otaku. Is it even worth it to be an idol in japan these days?
It is. And not all Idol Otaku are delusional. In fact, after Sasshi's scandal she retained support from her fans to the highest degree any scandal'd idol has ever, in the history of Idols.
Yes it is. Think about all the money and the fame you can get.
Said delusional otaku are their targeted audience. So what do you expect? It's those people who spend insane ammounts of money.
I expect there to be one of these creepy psychotic Otaku successfully killing some poor girl they stalk, and there to be a huge fallout from it.
Unfortunately, it'll take that -- or the attempt -- to get change in the industry over there.
There is no justification, none at all, for those delusional otaku having their psychopathic delusions played into. The voice actresses aren't the anime characters. The idol singers aren't their "waifus". Neither are required to remain single virgins so a bunch of fat losers can fap to them.
amen to that,
if only they would get it through their thick skulls...
stupid christian your god aint real bitch
All Japanese Idol (especially girls) act like a deity from the heaven (in wota's eye). But in reality, Most of them are some whore bitch who chase the money.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Lol you're a dumbass.
fuckvoted for being a little smartass bitch. Sankaku delivers justice. Have the pigs begun flying?
95% of women are whores, especially now that feminazi's have succeeded in inflating the international price of pussy. Back in the roman days, pussy was basically worthless, and a hooker would barely make enough to buy bread. That's the way it would still be if not for feminazi's, we'd all be swimming in pussy. Whatever small dick politician first let a bitch punk him needs to get sniped and taken out by a time traveling hit man. Then bitches would all be in their rightful place, on their knees or in the kitchen.
Back in the Roman days, man were too busy screwing each other while their wives raised their brood like maids. If there were less social stigma attached to homosexuality like the old days, men will probably still be busy screwing their brains out.
@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 viewed the same as with the girls who are not 'Dishonoring' the Geisha house of AKB48.
It's the culture. Japan doesn't look down on 'Porn Idols' (like some in USA) because a Porn Idol is what it implies - a Porn star. You can't be a Porn Star in the Mickey Mouse Club of Japan - you are 1 or the other.
Is all about illusion and MONEY.
If she fucked that guy good for him (and for her if he is really that "handsome")But Im like... pleased about this "exiled" thing, I mean she has no talent at all but even so its (or was) so popular, all because her wota past and some funny faces... god. Maybe she deserves this, like Karma, I dont know.
Anyway, if she really is exiled and destined for oblivion nothing will be lost in the end, just another "precocious idol" for the record HA!.
I wonder when they start to allow those girls having boyfriends.
The only things she has to apologize about is giving in to these men-children. Go find some purity in a clean bathroom tissue and a jar of lotion, ya'll.
“What the hell is HKT48 anyway?”
She's going to have a hard time, doesn't she? And that just for the fact she had sex, I don't know what to think about this situation anymore.
“What the hell is HKT48 anyway?”
Hawt Karnivore Tarts 48
+1
well, there goes my chance now
“This slut admitted it and she still wasn’t fired?”
She only admitted to knowing the guy. AKB48 otaku really need to stop acting like the members are their IRL girlfriends, it's never gonna happen.
I'm sure it's great to have money and fame for being an ABK48 member but it can't be worth having to avoid all men outside of your family(even then =/) completely for years and pretending you're in love with every 40 year old neck-beard that faps to your gravure catalog.
"A lot of it wasn’t true, but it is true that that person was my friend."
A lot of it wasn't true... they probably told her to not say anything to make it worse. if she said she had sex there would be even more controversy
Well they do get paid a lot of money. So if you're really tired of the restrictions you simply have to quit.
You can either take the money of those creepy otaku and cater to their delusions or you can do what you actually want to do.
Because if you don't they simply wont spend anymore money on you and you'll be sacked right away.
i hope she start her solo debut in JAV...
cant wait for that
they all sound like a bunch of butthurt jellyfags
Wow really? Just because she ruined a few creepy fan's fantasies she had to quit the group how sad
in japan, as an idol, rules are very strict that you should not have a boyfriend or date with a fan..
pathetic virgins who don't wash after they jerkoff are the last people whom should be criticizing her.
brah i dont wash b/c i love the spell of it
I laughed
those pathetic virgin is the one make AKB48 popular and buying like thousand of their cd..
If she want to be idol, she have to fulfill their fantasy, making those otaku thinking they still have chance with her (I know its pathetic)..
Otherwise, she should quit and become a real singer/model/actress or AV actress, where dating is a non issue
>implying any of these dumb bitches have enough talent to stand on their own
herp derp
i bet every fan now want to fuck sashihara,,
hell yeah..
how much is her??????????????
As much as you want to pay her...
20 yuan it is!
Very nice.....how much?
Hmm, wonder why she even bothered apologizing. She's getting technically sacked so, I don't see why she didn't simply tell off her torch carrying fans. It's her life... she's spreads her legs for whoever she damn well pleases.
That doesn't work that way in the idol industry in Japan.
This is Japan, where women know they only exist as masturbatory aids. Quit pretending otherwise.
Nothing to fucking apologize for.
She wanted it, he wanted it; they should shag 'till one gets tired.
Once again, nothing to fucking apologize for.
If you're receiving vast amounts of cash from fans that idolise your looks and personality, the least you can do is maintain your chasitity for their sake.
Fucking is one of them rules that is a no no for a Japanese idol. Kinda like it is for a nun.
compare this to the continuous sex scandals from american singers, I think it would be less of a stigma in Japan because of cultural influences.
Really? So she should remain a virgin until no one cares about the group anymore? Once you become creep bait your body now belongs to everyone eh?
I am sure that is what her managers want her fans to believe, all the while the manager is shagging all the members of the group.
Oh please. They're entertainers and they're paid top money to uphold an illusion. If they fail to deliver of course the fans will stop paying and thus their employer will try to get rid of them as soon as possible.
If you watch a movie you expect to be entertained. If the movie suddenly ends halfway through or simply turns horrible you wouldn't be very pleased and at worst would want your movie back, wouldn't you?
What AKB48 is selling isn't so much their horrible music but an illusion. It's like BP pissing into their oil and then wondering why nobody would want to buy it anymore.
Not until no one cares anymore, just until she's 25 and officially "too old" to be fuckable in the Otaku's eyes. Then she can go do whatever she wants. The old hag.
The only sensible comment in here.
Everyone else are busy blindly defending the woman while not realising the true nature of her job she has chosen for herself.
She knew what she was getting into and still wanted to commit such debauchery acts with a man.
"the true nature of her job she has chosen for herself."
So even the fans admit it isn't about the music, but about drooling/fapping over underaged virgin girls?
@Chen-04
I am no AKB48 fan but I believe its fan base would prefer listening/fapping to angelic virgin music over satanic slut music any time of the day.
Like it or not, most men, in most cultures, thoughout history, always have and always will want their wife to be a virgin. We may want to shag every girl we see, but most of these girls are not wife material. It's natural. AK48 fans are just like most men, with the exception of their infatuation with the underage aspect of these girls. And it's not such a big deal for a girl to stay a virgin till her mid or late 20s or Saul Alinsky forbid till she's married or serious about someone, whenever that may be.
11:45 anon made the best comment here. idols are not there to sell music, but to sell an illusion, entertaining people. music, photoshots and tv programs are just ways of achieving it (entertainment). when a girl fails to do it, she gets few followers but it's still ok. when she breaks the illusion, no. she can be everything she wants but not an idol.
Oh look like somebody in here likes old second goods.
Bullshit.
They are human. They deserve to fuck a willing partner if they want.
The people who have a problem with it are the ones who really have the issues.
And the nuns can just fuck off as far as I'm concerned. I have more respect for AV stars and hookers than nuns.
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 the same with Politicians & Certain Entertainers. The irony is that if she was in America (or maybe the UK) she'd get a reality show, Sex Tape, and Gossip-Rag status and probably be even more popular.
I wonder what rank #5 Minami & #3 Yuki think of this? Technically it means the entire top #5- #17 all move up 1 slot so the New #4 is Minami and Kojima is now #6 ect.
I agree with you on this point. But, the fact is, its those people with problem issues thats bringing in the dough and unfortunately unless other types of audiences are significantly larger theyre the ones playing the game.
What you have respect for is irrelevant. It's logic which counts. You say that the people who pay for these girls to be a virgin can f-off, well the performers do not want them to f-off, as these people pay good money for this virgin thing. It's a deal they make, and they're not forced to make it. No-one is holding a gun to an AK48 girl's head and telling her to stay in the group. It's a free choice.
As far as judging anyone else, nuns or people who disagree, you only no objective standard to go by so kindly keep your "morality" to yourself, or be an irrational hypocrite if you will.
lol it ha never been about the music. did you guys really think that shit sounds good?
Um, no. Money from other people should never determine if one does or doesn't have sex.
You're horrible and not getting enough of it to realize that. Money does not trump basic human desire and action.
too bad the japan community doesnt think like that
A bunch of 2ch stalkers != "the japan community".
Unfortunately, the same bunch of 2ch stalkers that buy their CDs.
And then toss them out after they get the voter registration cards.
This isn't a tenable situation. These stalkers are going to run out of money eventually. What's the end game afterwards? You're going to have a bunch of broke, disillusioned, unhinged freakjobs with no social skills and no lives (cause they spent all their money and time on trying to rig reality TV show style elections).
Maybe their mentality is something along the lines of, "we're not getting any, so you shouldn't either!"
Especially since idols could probably sleep with anyone anytime, if it didn't destroy their career.
But why apologise if they were going to demote her anyway? It's better to proudly tell with your chin up what you did and how much you enjoyed it and that you won't hesitate to do it again.
(Although I must say that banishment to Kyuushuu doesn't seem like a particularly onerous sentence. The climate is much better there and so is the food.)
The employers of idols like AKB etc. care about one thing: money.
Imagined sex sells, but real sex ends a career. If a girl sleeps with someone and anyone finds out, all the idiots who fantasize about what they'd do to those virginal girls suddenly lose interest. "Fans" get upset, and the employers can't use the girl anymore, so they are dumped.
I feel bad for the members of AKB48, being whored out as they are at those hand-shaking events. They're so popular with the kids, but underneath it all it's about not having sex so the adult followers can drool over what they'll never be able to do to the members.
She still wants to keep her job, even at the expense of a demotion, that's the reason for the apology. Sadly, kids never make enough money for AKB48. It's the adults who buy hundreds of their CDs just to get the event tickets. They pay, you cater to them. That's what AKB48 is basically about - Business.
Let us all applaud to this girls honesty to the human needs
* applauds *
Like heck if you got a bf or gf it leads to sex ... Period ( * don't care for age , gender , religion , race in this discussion just prove that Boy + Girl = Sex *)
Its the idolization by WeeBoo's or what ever these whackos are called these days who think that there idols should stay virgin LIKE THEM or there plastic DOLLS
*yes you weeboo fucktards who idolize -->real people<-- in plastic or media form*
the idols ARE human ... its just YOU who put them under a microscope
I am pretty sure most weeabos in the west dont give a fuck about akb. Their fans are grown ass japanese dudes, some are even married, look at the articles on the side. A mans wife threaten to leave him for collecting that idol shit.
why applaud this girl? She lied about it and then admitted.
She wants her fans to idolize her like a doll thats how she and these idol groups make money.
Why do you think they release photoooks...they are not advertising anything except for their skin.
If they wanted to have a regular life she sould have worked a job. B/c its not like she is in this for the music.
本当に最悪じゃない
Most people, including me, would hit that. Boyfriend did well for himself, well, until his dick move caused this idiotic farce.
Even so, why apologise if they were going to demote her anyway? It's better to proudly tell with your chin up what you did and how much you enjoyed it and that you won't hesitate to do it again.
(Although I must say that banishment to Kyuushuu doesn't seem like a particularly onerous sentence. The climate is much better there and so is the food.)
BULL FUCKING SHIT!!!
If I'm paying top dollar to uphold an illusion and you break it!
I'm will make your "career" sink faster than a fat man on in the middle of the pacific!!!
Fat people do not sink. Fats are less dense than water.
You missed the point retard.
trollolololololololololololololololol
The German dude
I suppose you pricks bitching about the illusion would expect Stallone to go the distance with with the world heavy weight boxing champions is a real match, and win; or the Governator to go in and take care of hostage situations in person as well.
She's a performer, not a fucking slave; no matter what her fucking contract says about her off screen behavior.
There is though. Do you know what she's getting paid for? If she doesn't abide by the rule, she should be fired alright.
Thank god they removed her from AKB48 already, she deserved it too.
Try not to be a slut if you have an image to hold up.
That is all.
She's a slut for sleeping with one guy, who happened to be her friend (and probably a boyfriend)?
The expectations of idol fans, and idol management as well, are ridiculous. It's as though they've forgotten idols are human.
Once you are become an idol of this sort, you give up being human.
That is all.
Its funny how we protect minors from porn but are perfectly fine if they enter a business were they stop being human.
@Chen-04
Nobody is forcing them into this business but rather on their own free will and unfortunately one must abide by its terms and condition stated in any job.
@17:04: Even if nobody is forcing them to watch porn, they still ain't allowed to watch it. That's the whole point about "protection of the children". We decide something for them, because they can't decide it for themselves. (That's how the argument goes.)
But I think watching porn is less harmfull then becoming an idol. So why do we allow them to become idols? Don't bother answering, it's obvious why.
She was 15 when she became an idol, 15 year olds don't have free will yet. She was too young to sign up for a life of chasity.
Can't wait to see her in an AV. I wanna fap to her so bad.
Self control means no longer being human.
So guys no-one of you ever exercises self control? You avoid being late for work, to avoid losing it, don't you? Are you now no longer human because oversleeping is a more fundamental need then sex?
This girl can do what she wants. She can quit the group and become a JAV if she wants. I'm sure she'll have much respect then.
@18:47 not if she was under new contract, as AKB placed a stipulation in their contracts after one became a JAVstar.
I think you are very close to the line of mental insanity. Or just very unfortunate to have your (mis)conception of society behaviour toward woman(including young teenagers) quite twisted due to consumerist false notions of "purity" quite close to absurdity and as i mentioned earlier insanity.
You need to chillout read some philosophical aspects of mankind, social and political history or whatever helps to make you realise woman have the same (if not more at certain times of their lives) emotional feelings and needs. They are not property even if you paid some fucking ticket to a concert or bought some merchandise. Somewhere there you(and others like you) confuse between owing a merchandised CD/mag/etc whatever is the artist(s) work, and owning the artist itself.
Get a grip on reality you self introverted twisted envious insane people.
Dick move from her ex-boyfriend to do this.
The fucker never deserves to get laid again.
man, with so many girls in the group, he had to choose exactly one of the ugliest in akb？ 最悪じゃねぇか？
