There's a difference between A 32 year old guy who likes the same group as a 16 year old girl...


Well, as I mentioned, classic bands, like say Metallica, 32-yr-old guys and 16-yr-old girls seem OK. A band of a buncha adolescents though, older fans just chaperone and stay in the background. Laughing

This is because being a wota is sometimes (maybe often) equivalent to being that anime fan who wanted to marry his favorite character. They want to know everything from the girls measurements to what she wrote in her diary last night. God forbid you find out she's been on a date. Then (in morning musume's case) she may be punished by the company or sometimes bullied by the fans. I seem to remember this happening to Yukari Tanemura, Tenten's voice actor.


Thank you for explaining better. That's why I'm amazed their talent agencies cultivate it in the name of the almighty yen. If you're a parent, would you drop-off your daughter to attend such spectacles when they could be surrounded by such over-eager fans? Laughing

Holy crap what is with the negativity? If you don't like them, don't go to the concert!

The problem I have with this situation is that it is disappointing to me that this is the best so far that AX has been able to come up with. This is a band that to me has truly been milkintg itself, not only the girls, but Tsunku as well. And he disgustingly knows that this is making him lots of money.

Maybe, in the best case scenario, they start singing a song; only to be invaded by Detroit Metal City Laughing.

Or Maximum The Hormone covering a Detroit Metal City song. Very Happy That could be amusing...Oh but then you get the rabid Death Note fans.

MTH invading Anime Expo 09 would be amazing, not to mention it shouldn't be hard to get in contact with the right people over there.

MTH fans could bring fans of all types of rock/punk music to the venue. However I think the Nokia theater would never be the same afterwards.

Still easier than getting tickets in Japan to see them.

Beach europe kiero! kechi yuuei
Beach europe kiero! kechi yuuei yeah!

That would be great but.. It's not happening. I wonder if morning musume will do an interview though. Ai Takahashi is more boring than watching paint dry you know and she is the leader. The face of Morning Musume and Hello Project in general I guess.

The number of girls that have come and gone remind me of Pokemon. Since there's so many Pokemon out there that you can't rap them anymore, you forget about them and stop following it. Morning Musume has set that same example, where there's been so many girls to come and go, that you tend to forget about it and not care. I just looked them up for kicks, and they're on their 8th generation in ten years. If I can recall correctly they had up to 12 to 14 girls at a time.
