Thank you for your support of Hello! Project.

Since last night, I’ve been suffering from sneezing and a case of itchy eyes. After going to the hospital and receiving a medical examination today, I have been diagnosed with hay fever. I’m very sorry for all the worry I’ve caused everyone. I hope to have your continued support of Hello! Project.

What Are The Strategies Used by Public Entertainment Professionals to Prevent Idols From Dating?
http://joshi-spa.jp/365510

Being in love is strictly forbidden in the idol industry. It’s come to the point where there was recently a legal case regarding the matter: an idol was sued by her management after pictures were leaked where she was shown to have violated the “no-dating” clause in her contract. She was ordered to pay her former agency ¥650,000 in damages. (2015/9/18, Tokyo District Court ruling.)

According to an anonymous source from a higher-up of one such public entertainment production agency:

“Some companies have a ban on dating until their idols are 20 years old. Others do not allow it for as long as they are a part of a group. It varies from company to company. In our company we leave it up to the talents’ own judgement, but because it is trouble if they are discovered by the media to be dating, we nevertheless have means to discourage them from dating in the first place.”

We asked anonymous public entertainment professionals to tell us more about these methods used in their line of work.

There’s just something comforting to me about the office and I don’t even know why. (laughs) Like, Kobushi Factory and Tsubaki Factory are both such stupid names, but at the same time they’re so “Up-Front-like” that it just makes me smile. Admit it: you guys actually feel the same way, don’t you?

I can appreciate how firm they are in their stance of not forcing the members do anything vulgar.

It’s only natural that a talent agency would promote girls who can make them money, but the amazing thing about Up-Front is how they keep pushing girls who won’t sell — I mean, the type of girl anyone could have one look at and just instinctively know she’s never going to be popular. They must be rolling in money.

Yeah. No matter how much name value you have, if you stop drawing people, you’re thrown out. That’s the way every talent agency works — aside from Up-Front.

I like the mutual trust we have with them; how we both know that we’ll remain loyal fans no matter how badly they look down upon us.

Ten years ago it was all guys. Back then all you heard concerning women + H!P was like that episode of the waitress at a restaurant publicly posting on her mixi about how disgusting she thought all the wota customers at work were.

I think it was definitely in large part thanks to them uploading so much material on YouTube. Young girls nowadays don’t watch any TV, they just sit in their rooms watching YouTube on their smartphones.

I remember laughing about how they called us all “kibonnu.”

Ten years ago I attended a handshake event for v-u-den’s Ajisai, and only about 20 of the 1200 people there were girls.

There’s no one left to deny that there really are more female wota nowadays, right? I mean, can we all agree on this point now?

There most definitely are more female wota now.
