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?”

Ms. Shinoda is a sad panda.
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.
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.
I wouldn't be surprised if this were true, knowing Akimoto's antics... (the group's producer)
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.
Sad panda.
I see what you di.. oh.. well, nevermind.
she should make porn
I would like to eat her cookie. or at least fap to seeing her cookie being eaten...
“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!
I think Ignorant bastards such as yourself are the worst kind.
^
1UP to this.
Ignorant?
Tell that to moetards that know nothing but moe!
Me I know anime series from the 60s till know, INCLUDING MOE series!!
I think the ignorant bastard hit it too close to home for you, right?
Moetards. That's usually the beggining of an Idol fanatics
Definitely idol fans. At least 2D girls can't completely fuck their fans over.
you are wrong.
Their fans fuck themselves over. Nobody holds a gun to their heads and says, "Buy this!".
Indeed, 2D girls cannot fuck their fans AT ALL.
Moe's the pity... XD
you put no soul in it ; you sold it to your agency long ago
“Who cares!”
^
Would buy a beer for him.
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.
wasting money on three d is utter foolishness
Nah the real one was probably eaten already and a fake is being distributed, eaten again and repeat.
“She’s probably sad that she didn’t get to sell it herself.”
yep.
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
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.
Times are changing man. Not everyone can afford to live on their own when the cost of living is so god dang high.
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.
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.
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?
Shes making 300 more isn't she? I bet she can hand them out later.
"She's probably sad she didn't get to sell herself with it"
Fixed that for you.
“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? :D
12000 a bargain? You can buy the soul and the body of prettier women for less than a half of that.
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.
I'm the only one who caught the cookie joke?
Image how much a pair of her used panties would sell
Once the buyer eats the cookie, his soul and hers will be one.
This article made my day! This shit that show up lately....
This made my day! And I thought sankaku couldn't post anything more dumb! lmfao... oh sankaku you did it again!
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!
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?
you can't have the cookie and eat it, too. Sad but true
well can you cum on it first?
