So how does Jidols manage to keep themselves in control even after graduating...

[gyrobot]

Compared to American pop stars who go into drunken benders and crisis. Jidols seems much more well behaved.

Probably a difference in culture. Though I wouldn't say they are more well behaved. Shuukan Bunshun and Friday never run out of scandals to publicize. Though companies like JE,AKS and Hello Pro probably have enough to pay off some of the scandals.

Well there's the public and private face thing that Japanese people maintain.

They have more self control than American stars also most of them are more reserved

[Coffee Biscuit]

Because they don't start young and have millions.

 

 

Also, unlike western celebrity, who are constantly hailed as god's gift, J-Idol are  constantly reminded that they're easily replaceable. They'll keep their ego more in check in comparison.

 

 

The power is with the company, not the star.

The company can make you, it can break you.
