AKB48, that cynically manufactured, moneymaking pop machine boasts many adult males as fans and collectors; men whose taste really should be more mature. But that’s perhaps not the case with this lone figure. A fella presumably just as puzzled by the group’s popularity, as they would be in regards his predicament.

That’s right. *Real* men swoon over Babymetal :3
Lee says
Yes. Well, perhaps!

Great contrast again, the hollow idols and the reality of making some very meager ends meet.
The last few years, friends of us record and forward us the New Year NHK gala with all the idols and my wife makes me watch it. I cannot help feeling like a lolicon watching AKB whatever and the likes, but all of them seem to burst out into English the moment the lyrics or the rhyme fail them. If only one song had put in the effort of coming up with a melody instead of just pretentious noise 🙂
Lee says
Cheers. It was a pretty shocking contrast to see, particularly on a Sunday when the streets where packed with shoppers and tourists.
I feel for you having to sit through that rubbish. Even once a year is once too much…
Marcin says
This dude should be blasting “They see me rollin'” from some radio on that cart, shit would be hillarious 😉
Lee says
Even if he did almost nobody would here it amidst the din from the surroundings shops…
