Also, here's a translation of management's official G+ post about all this: We have received many opinions and questions from the fans regarding the video of Minegishi’s apology.

[quote name='yuzuriha' timestamp='1359749648' post='143306'] You've been researching the idol industry, including old groups/solists from like the 70s/80s/90s/whatever right? I would be very interested in a thread where you maybe shed some light on the things you've learned about idols and their att...

[quote name='neshcom' timestamp='1359745334' post='143302'] As long as the fans are allowed to be so maniacal about these girls' personalities and virtual approachability, firings, demotions, and personal self-degradation will all keep happening. [/quote] This is all true, and this would be a soluti...

This is getting pretty awesome. I might reply to more specific things later, but for now, I'll at least say that management confirmed that this was entirely her idea. The video and the hair thing. They said she agreed to come record this video and when she got there to do it, her head was already sh...

[quote name='Ap2000' timestamp='1359503204' post='143003'] I prefer the unknown and don't need some achievements to get me interested in a game.

It's actually a turn-based strategy game and a really, really good one. The game looks decent, but it not having trophies makes a lot less incentive to actually play it, especially with a game like that where its pretty long and has a ton of shit to do, I'd be completely unmotivated to actually do ...

I actually got the demo for Trash Panic and haven't tried it yet. I'd also like to try out Tokyo Jungle before I get it, especially for $15. That's a pretty accurate description of Ni no Kuni and interesting what PA said about it. The game was pretty terrible and archaic, but JRPG fans seem to not r...

Nah, not into JRPGs and not going to subscribe to an expensive service for a system I don't actually own, and I despise the idea of only having the game for a few months and then having your privilege to play it taken away a few months later or having them taken away when you stop your subscription ...

[quote name='AurA' timestamp='1358922660' post='142357'] Well. This has been a fairly interesting thread for me. I feel like I'm just now experiencing a darker perhaps more "real" side to the idol culture. I have not been able to really analyze the content I have been enjoying. I have yet ...

Being forced into doing random fan club events every once in a while is not the same as being a professional idol. Idols have notoriously over-busy schedules and are busy doing something related to their idol promotion almost every single day of the year from morning til night. When the question com...

Why is everyone interpreting this as if she's insulting all of her fans from when she was in MM? This entire discussion and everything that came out of her mouth was specifically aimed at creepy male wota who made it impossible for her to lead a normal life, directly or indirectly. She didn't even s...

Its clear she doesn't give a flying fuck about a bunch of wota fans, and I'm right behind her on that one, they can go fuck themselves. At this point, being in a very different industry with a very different audience, she really doesn't have to give a shit. There isn't a bunch of new Koharu idol mer...
