searchme 1,215 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I'm sorry to tell you, cuz you seem cool to me, but selling sexiness is part of the job. And since this is the Japanese idol industry....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiirbii 4,760 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Yikes. It's a play about hosts, right? I didn't know they'd actually act like hosts. You can't even call that fanservice, they've got their hands on fans and... ugh. It's really gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They released a Vlive and then a sub-unit announcement with promotions and it's like... we don't give a shit. The saddest thing is some J "fans" and their wannabe Japanese club followers are okay with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquamaraqua 4,293 Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 I feel like this is a lawsuit waiting to happen They've got 2 years probably on the contract they just re-signed. I don't think they'll be able to sue Amuse, way too powerful and will hurt them in the long run... I just need Amuse to see where they went wrong, morally. There's unfortunately nothing /illegal/ about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamaraqua 4,293 Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 Wtf Takunya doesn't deserve this He really doesn't. And while I don't want to assume things about his comfort zone, he hasn't given fans any clear answer. 1. because he can't and 2. Amuse would have pushed him to give one had he been okay with it, but he isn't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliens-United 19,785 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 It is disgusting. I've seen the fans trying to rally other big fandoms to trend a hashtag for them to get Amuse's attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the fans trying to rally other big fandoms to trend a hashtag for them to get Amuse's attention. We've had a tweet with 6K retweets but it seems like it wasn't enough for the tag to trend. It slowed down during the course of today but I can't stop just yet, it needs more exposure. Allkpop and Asianjunkie or even Koreaboo writing about it would be helpful. I'm contacting Kfans to make posts on Pann if they can about it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink + White 1,593 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 JAPAN IS SO FUKING WEEEEIRRRRDDDDD We've had a tweet with 6K retweets but it seems like it wasn't enough for the tag to trend.

Aquamaraqua 4,293 Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 JAPAN IS SO FUKING WEEEEIRRRRDDDDD Send a tip to Allkpop, they might write about it It's not something exclusive to Japan, although yes unfortunately the industry's dark side seems more prominent in certain angles. If you could please tag AsianJunkie/tip them as well as Koreaboo. Any exposure at this point would be fine. JAPAN IS SO FUKING WEEEEIRRRRDDDDD Send a tip to Allkpop, they might write about it Dozens of fans already tried tipping AKP and the ass hats haven't written a thing.

remembering 7,109 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I'm sorry to tell you, cuz you seem cool to me, but selling sexiness is part of the job. And since this is the Japanese idol industry....... Selling sexiness on screen or at least having a barrier is one thing. Almost selling them to individual people is a totally different. This is totally wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost selling them to individual people is a totally different. This is totally wrong. Exactly. There are people who are fans of the musical under the illusion that they know Takuya better than we do and his reaction better than we do. Even going so far as saying "only the person knows if they gave consent or not" Like wtf is that bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquamaraqua 4,293 Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 That was cringy to watch Does this job pay a lot of money or something because why would some company willingly put their idol in this Most likely the money because Amuse is greedy tbh. It's an auction of a sort. Please help spread the word wherever you can. No idol deserves to be treated this way.
