AKB48 Otaku’s “$200,000” Election Budget

akb48-otaku-1

akb48-otaku-2

Even as the aftermath of the saw attack on AKB48 continues, the Japanese media are still finding creepy otaku in the midst of preparations for the general election – the latest boasting that his election spend will come to 20,000,000 yen and showing off his house-filling and landfill-bound CD collection.

The 38-year-old self-employed man estimates there are “probably about 10,000 copies in my house now,” giving some insight into how the group maintains its chart-topping status.

His antics have provoked the usual disgust and incredulity online, along with the still unanswered question of what one of the girls would do for him were he to just hand over the cash directly…

    Wow 200.000$... Damn thats a lot of hookers >.>

    Why arent there any groups like Feminists / MRA / Addiction help, protecting these people from harming themselfs and helping them from beeing exploited by the companies behind AKB48?

    Because the Feminists would call him, and people like him, a rapist.

    Also a pedophile and a creep.
    The correct term would be ephebophile, but real feminist never look that up anyway.

    Feminists don't give a shit about rights or justice. They want to castrate men and then become them.

    Feminists do care about rights and justice. It's just that they define those terms not in any objective way, but solely subjectively. Whatever benefits them is right and just, as far as they're concerned. So not only do they insist that all outcomes benefit them, they twist the very language to their own benefit.

    They are evil to their very cores.

    Not the first time in human history "justice" is used as justification to commit atrocities through deception and a very gullible public.

    But it's hard to know if those people actually believe they are doing anything right when they hurt others or not.

    Says the virgin misogynist whose also probably a closet homosexual.

    I just call 'em how I see 'em. Just look at all the anti-gay and anti-women activists who get caught hiring same-gender prostitutes.

    No, there's nothing wrong with being gay; its just wrong to be an asshole to your fellow homosexuals about it and stereotyping feminists.

    Feminism logic: if he says feminism is a load of bullshit, then certainly he's a virgin gay fat small-dick pig .

    Oh, also, call someone gay in a derogatory way but try to look nice to the gay community, because remember, feminism is all about equality, yeah.

    (Nevermind showing any evidence of feminism not being a load of bullshit.)

    A bit under 4million yen per year. So, it's impossible for a salaryman. Even for 5 salarymen.

    He's self employed so maybe a lawyer,electrician, or a plumber etc.

    More likely he's Yakuza. If the media use spongy terms like "businessman" or "self-employed" to describe someone's job, it usually means something's fishy ...

    $200K is he self employed in the illicit pharmaceutical business?

    Nah, he just does not pay his parents room & board. Nor does he own a car or pay for anything else with monthly payments. He just draws hentai doujinshi for losers like himself. All that 'dirt' on his hands is actually dried ink.

    While yes, the idea of what he's doing is rather... uh... crazy/wacky/creepy, let the man spend the money he "earned" on what he wants to spend it on. We make money to spend it on things we want, and if that's he he wants to spend his money on, so be it.

    There are "hobbyists" that spend much more money on their hobby than this guy.

    I agree with you. As long as he has enough money to get himself food, clothing, house payment, etc. Then he should be able to spend his money the way he wants.

    It's common in South Korea but for other sectors (employees propping up their businesses to pad company numbers).

    The creepiest supposed AKB fans are actually granted that money to spend. Discs and tickets are cheap enough to produce management loses literally nothing to create that kind of frenzy, since pretty much 90% goes back to the source and the difference is little more than the manufacturing cost and distribution circuit's share (it costs nothing to peddle large quantities without intermediaries, compared to individual disk sales which are a minority as you all suspected and know). Makes it easier to cook the books without letting on the beancounters. Remember the 'shady' connections.

    This play is also used to shoot the group to the top of charts and manipulate elections. Not very glamorous, this feeds the creepiness of (uncontrolled) folks like the saw-man.

    um, I dun really understand what u were saying. Were you saying that The discs/tickets or whatever are cheap, about 90% of the money they get from selling it goes back to making more of these things, and the 90% of the money that returns to make More of these is actually a bit more than enough money to make more of these discs and tickets?

    I think he is saying that the company is willing to lose 10% of their investments in order to launder 90% of the capital they put in.

    Yeah. But what about you? Don't you moronic people know a real story when you see it? Can you differentiate between real and fake? No? Here's a helpful tip. Try searching around the web and looking for answers whether something is real or not.

    One would think that by now they'd just start to forge entry forms. It cannot be that hard to reproduce these forms. I doubt they're even numbered.

    And more than that, I doubt anyone even looks at them. They all likely get thrown in the incinerator upon arrival. As these popularity "contests" are all rigged by their yakuza backers.
