I think wota is very similar to otaku.

overly buying merchandise,knowing so deep about what they're into as such that normal ppl would say"wow,how'd you know that much?",knows that him/her-self is an otaku/wota.
for example,gundam otakus can name every model number of each robot that appeared on his/her fav series,know all/almost all the characters,owns a lot of gundam plastic models.("a lot" here is still subjective,depending on your own otaku-ness)
while H!P wotas can name every/almost/mostly every H!P members,owns a lot of merchandise,go to H!P concerts frequently.

pls note that is only my opinion.i've never met an wota,i only saw wotagei on tv & youtube.

now i need help from some of you who are open minded and won't give an insulting/bad answer.(sorry if i sound rude/stuck-up here,my english has been getting worse these days since i seldom use it.i mean this in a polite way,and i'd be grateful for those who'd understand. )

- I like(not love)MM
- i have many H!M & MM related videos in my computer(i won't tell how many exactly)
- i know full names of every MM members(including graduates)
- i read/look around H!O forums almost once a day
- i would buy some MM merchandise if i have the money when i go to their concert
(i've only been able to go once,and didn't buy anything,though i did wanted to buy Ai-chan's towel)
- if i saw MM/graduates on TV/youtube,i would watch it,nevertheless if it's a show i didn't know
- i don't do wotagei(IMO,u don't have to do wotagei to be an wota)
when i 1st saw wotagei,it made me feel a bit awkward,but then i can sense/feel that they're not bad ppl.
- i wanna meet Ai-chan personally,face2face.

so...my question is:"Can i be considered as an wota?"
and if it's 'yes',can you tell me how to stop being one?

*somebody in H!O(i don't remember who,and i don't really wanna remember who) called me a wota once,though i myself don't think i'm an wota,i think i'm just a normal fan.but since i'm now living in japan,where wota has a negative image,it made me wonder if my friends would consider me a wota,coz i don't want that.and that's why i need help n building opinions.

P.S.sorry if this is off-topic,if it should be deleted/edited/moved/whatever,pls do so.i'm not very good at forums.thx.

Seems they won't be attending.

upsetting...and I thought the America gig would get NHK's eyes back on MM.
IMO, instead of , MM performing SYO would be a lot better...
Or,could NHK be scared of wotas filling the studio..?
in any case,this would be another bad news for MM members...I hope they don't feel too down about this.
I mean,after 10 years straight in,now it's 2 years straight out..

I'm a guy studying in a school in Japan, and my Japanese friends here mostly hate / consider the current Momusu as weaklings in the music world.most of them only know Momusu when it's still around Gomaki's time.and they only know one song: 'Love Machine'

One opinion i heard was that they think that Momusu was just plain lucky and didn't have to work hard to get to the top,because they had Tsunku to back them up.

One other thing that I was very annoyed about was when one of my friends, who is CRAZY with Perfume,says that Ai-chan looks like an おばはん(old lady). he even said that Momusu sucks and should get

and now,every time i listen to Momusu or watch a PV or a TV program with Momusu members / graduates in it,they would tease me by saying things like "you're into that kind of stuff?" or "You're a wota?" or "Sorry,but I just plain hate momusu." or they just plain stare at me with a weird face.

what's so wrong with liking a female artist group??I like their songs,I like the members(though not all,to be frank), isn't it the same as liking a solo female artist like Utada Hikaru?Liking the song & the artist,it's not wrong,is it?

Now,whenever i wanna watch something H!P related,i gotta wait until I'm alone and my friends don't bother me.

WTH i just realized the link was to the wrong video...

guess i should've added: *only for koharu-haters who understand Japanese...sorry for the confusion,and i mean no offense.if you don't understand it,you probably shouldn't watch it.

P.S.sorry if my english is bad.
