What do you do if you run into a friend? Or a co-worker? How do you take care of crisis prevention?

By staying at home.

Friends or co-workers are no problem. What’s embarrassing is when you run into people who you only kind of know.

I ran into a friend from my junior high days at an event. We both pretended like we didn’t know each other.

Naturally I avoid the events that are really close to me. But apart from that, there’s no helping it.

I was wearing a mask and hat to disguise myself, but I was still found out… To make matters worse I was even copying the dances so I couldn’t pretend like I was just randomly passing by either.

I once noticed my ex-girlfriend among the curious onlookers, so I made my escape before she could notice me.

It’s like I enter my own world. I don’t even imagine the possibility of someone noticing me.

I was once seen by a friend and his family to whom I hadn’t come out to as a wota. (laughs) I wanted to die.

I’ve told my close friends I’m a wota, and it’s really not such a big deal if the not-so-close friends were to find out either.

Please tell me how to prevent disaster if I do happen to bump into someone I know.

“I was just shopping and I noticed there was this idol handshake thing going on, so I took part just to see what it was like. I guess they were cute and all, but yeah, they’re still children! (laughs)“

“Why are you wearing a wota T-shirt? Why are you holding a glowstick? Why were you just dancing with everyone?“

18: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/14(木) 13:02:53.62 0
No problem for me since I don’t have any acquaintances.

20: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/11/14(木) 13:04:53.24 0
Basically I just wear a mask and try not to look at the faces of the people closest to me and just concentrate on watching the stage. When entering and exiting, I be quick about it and keep my head down.

I pose as someone else by means of plastic surgery and hair transplantation.

When I was attending a public radio recording, apparently an acquaintance of mine happened to be passing by. When he asked me “hey, you were at XX the other day, right?“, I just feigned ignorance and said it must’ve been someone else.

I live in the countryside so I’ve felt disappointed how they never come here for concerts, but it looks like there’s another side to the coin, too…

I try not to wear my wota T’s unless it’s a room separate from the public area. Then when it ends, I immediately change clothes.

“I-I just happened to be passing by is all…“

“I-I picked up this glowstick that I was just about to drop off at the nearest lost-and-found…“

“O-oh…“

I just remembered that there’s an event near me next week. What to do…?

Local events are tough. Especially the open spaces at places like Aeon Mall.

If it’s just my personal acquaintances, I don’t really mind. If it’s an area somewhere near where my wife’s friends live, I take real good care to disguise myself.

Remember: the average onlooker is more interested in the strange movements of the wota rather than the performers themselves.

My co-worker (along with his wife and kids) saw me jumping and generally going crazy at an Odaiba event. Just like I expected, when I went back to work on Monday, it’d become a rumor around the office. But thanks to that I also started having more luck when asking for days off, so at the end of the day I’m glad it happened.

“I’m just here to check out the magician who comes on after these girls…“

Henkka: “Oh, no, I was just killing time before the Hokkaido Scat Fetishists Convention 2014 starts down the hall there.” “Ooooh! Right. For a second there you had me worried you’d become one of those disgusting wota types!” “Eww, no way! LOL.”

  3. “Hey, funny seeing you here!”

    “….oh….yeah, um, I was just passing by. What’s going on here?”

    “Looks like a handshake event for some girl named Sayashi. She looks kind of gloomy, eh?”

    “Nah, man, Riho is actually pretty energetic these days.”

    “……………………………………………YOU HAVE ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD”

    “WELL, SH*T”

    (It’s probably a lot “safer” to wear idol apparel over here in the USA since BITCHES CAN’T READ MAH HIRAGANAS)

      • Not only in Japan ! But I would have imagined that being so popular (not being some indy american band) people would have no problem with that. I guess the problem comes for wotas who could have children the age of the members :P I like to think that if I went to a concert in Japan when im 22 or so, there would be no major issue, other than racism.

  8. I kinda understand what these guys mean, i don’t really talk about my idol fandom with anyone i know in real life. People close to me know i like japanese music but thats about it.

    • I really don’t care. All my friends know. Random ppl I know at work, know. I have music videos playing on my 10″ tablet in the car, so random people who drive by me know.

  9. Thanks Henkka for yet another translation….Your comment at the end really cracked me up! I’m sure you’re sick of hearing people thank you all the time, bro, but we really appreciate and respect you, from your alcohol loving habit to your so called “lousy” moustache to your beard right down to your toes! Long live Henkka!

  12. You HAVE to go. Your oshis have asked you to support them. Ignoring such a request from such persons is unthinkable. If you want to avoid this problem then don’t be an wota.

  13. I went to the Juice=Juice release event. Had the advantage of no one knowing me because I am a foreigner. However… I posted everything on Twitter and I have some high profile people following me…

  14. I wonder if lady-wota have these same apprehensions? I can understand male wota worrying that they make come across as “gross perverts” for following a group full of young girls. As a woman though, I just have fun with it and let my older-sister-feelings flow without any regrets while doing chants.

    Besides, if the co-worker or friend is a wota too, then you have an event/concert buddy, right? Or is that strange?
