Why Did The Idols Run Across Shibuya Crossing? (Random Japan)

To make the dirty old man who owns them rich!

Because I don't want to help with that, I'm not going to link to anything from this idol group, if you care, google the name on their flag... a word of warning though... if you listen to their music your ears will bleed.

I suppose for a talentless, not spectacularly beautiful looking young woman of below average intellect this is a better job than working at the convenience store or prostitution... And even though Idol wages are notoriously low, they probably made more this month than I did, for a lot less mental work.

Damn I just realised Idols get exploited less than I do... That's a depressing thought.

This Picture Is The answer to EVERY Question You Have About the Japanese Idol Scene!

Japan is churning out  pre-pubescent plastic, lip syncing idols faster than Toru Hashimoto can say something stupid. But to those of us who look at this bizarre mutation of pop music from the outside, what could possibly make them such a popular and powerful force, is unfathomable.
Invariably we are left with a number of questions, that no matter how hard we try, we can never answered. As a result, we could never understand what it's all about... UNTIL NOW.

While shooting the Tokyo International Toy Show for Akihabara News, I managed to shoot the single best idol photo I have ever seen. It is the Idol scene's 42. The ultimate answer to any possible question regarding Idols, Idol Music, Idol fans and the multibillion yen industry that is the Idol.

Lucky Cider CM with Nozomi Sasaki

Ok so like every red blooded male in this country I like my fair share of Gravure Idols… One of them is Nozomi Sasaki. She is the star of what has become the most stuck in my head commercial since the Pizza-la Cool Cream Cheese ads last year…
So now you can get it stuck in your heads too!

Don’t say I never do anything for you!
