Yes, they are and it often involves the same perils. |

I find it pretty cool that she shops at dollar stores. That's not really something you'd ever see with 'talent' in the West.
I hope this doesn't impact Minorin's career too bad. Not sure how lenient her agency would be with stuff like this. |

An American celebrity shopping at a dollar store would be a bigger tabloid story than an American celebrity having an affair with someone. |

They've been marketed as idols since the early 2000s though. |

Exactly this, stuff like this needs to be brought to light. |

Is this just a Japan thing? IIRC Tiger woods' thing was made out to be a much bigger deal than this

Why respond at all? It's nobody's business but her own and the people involved.

But then you don't make the same amount of money... Many girls in Japan even stop trying to be a singer to become a Seiyuu because you earn more money than been a very unknown singer that barely makes money, that is why even Idols or more young girls are trying to be a Seiyuu nowadays. |

She responded because she was being accused of CURRENTLY being in an affair with a new man as recently as February. The relationship she admitted to was between 2010 and 2016 - long over. So she clearly didn't want to come out but felt she had to due to the accusations about the new man. She didn't have to respond but I think it's good that she did. If she didn't then the rumors could go wild for years. |

2 full pages of people "not caring" about the news story.

No, it is not just a Japan thing. Here in America, if you are a celebrity of any sort, you don't have a private life. You get caught cheating by the press, it will be in the papers and on TV, and all the social media sites. We had that sports star not too long ago who got his picture taken at a club with his hands all over a couple of women, while his wife was at home. It isn't even the press you have to worry about either, anybody with a cell phone camera can cash your pictures in, even your friends. One Olympian and a actress will filmed doing drugs by their friends, and those got posted to social media. The Tiger Woods thing was much bigger and juicier than just having an affair. |

Question for the others who have posted here:
Apart from the connection of watching/purchasing anime that Minori Chihara voice acted in, have any of you attended lives by Minori Chihara, or bought her CD's or live performance videos? |

I have some Minorin CDs that I've imported. I've also listened to some of her earlier radio programs. |

There is nothing different in the 80s, in the 90s, in the 00s, and today. Paparazzi will dig news on anyone who is somewhat famous for anything juicy. if you think this is related to being an idol anywhere then you don't know what an idol is. If anything it's better now in that tabloid-level news don't get as much attention than before due to social media. The downside is also that anyone can take a picture and expose you and dark history sticks around more. |

We had an internal discussion about this article and it was agreed that ANN shouldn't have published it. It was initially deemed newsworthy because of her official statement (the original allegations were ignored by ANN), but upon review, it was determined that official statements alone do not make the content newsworthy.
Unfortunately if something significant does come as a result of the allegations (for example, her losing a role or being dropped from her agency), that may be covered in the future. The article hasn't been removed from ANN because it doesn't meet our strict requirements for removal of an article. We have however stopped promoting the article on the front page, and I'm locking this thread because I don't see the benefit of further discussion of a voice actresse's private sex-life. Also please note that the journalists who write articles for ANN are often not involved in the decision to write or publish those articles. So please do not judge the journalist involved with this article. If you have any comments or concerns about the editorial policy, please feel free to bring them up in the feedback forum. |
