The latest triumph of AKBnomics arrives in the form of an AKB otaku who proudly shows off the stack of 4,000 votes (at a cost of some 6.4 million yen) he is casting on young Anna Iriyama.
The explanation accompanying the stack of votes:
“My wife is angry that I took the day off work to vote, so you guys be sure to stick at it too!”
The object of his ardour – duck-faced 17-year-old Anna Iriyama, formerly languishing at 27th place in the general election, and standing to almost double her votes:
Amongst those charged with watching these maniacs opinion is divided as to whether this fan and the many like him are utterly deranged, religiously devoted, or – as the more hyper-cynical surmise – in fact plants inserted by promoters to further cultivate the perception that such behaviour is normal and stoke creepy otaku to further extremes of mass-voting frenzy.
he is married ???? o.o
AND I SEE KIDS DYING WITH FUCKERS SPENDING MONEY LIKE THAT?
WAIT TILL HIS SOUL GETS ERASED BY ME!
THIS WORLD IS IN DIRE NEED OF CHILDREN EXTERMINATION! SORRY IT SEEMS OUR IDEALS OF DREAMY COLLIDED!
I’m more concerned that a grown up man is so obsessed with a teenage girl that he goes through all that hassle.
I guess that’s totally alright for the Japanese since he even has a wife. Crazy, really.
She looks like David Tennet in that last pic
Like lambs to the slaughter. What a racket they have with this scam. Some nerds are really going to hate themselves when they get older & look back at their lives.
