a poor idol, obsessed with food
Akari Ishizuka 48 NMB48 idol Makoto Ogawa aMI TOKITO Ryona Himeno Rina Takenaka Rinana
At the beginning, she starts reflecting on her life. She talks about how she used to always get in trouble and get scolded, and she doesn’t know why. In the comments section, someone wrote that maybe she is ADD or ADHD, which would explain that.
She moves on and starts talking about how she wants chicken nuggets, but can’t afford them. Then, she mentions that she sees on one of her colleague’s blogs that the colleague goes to Starbucks and to specialty breakfast restaurants and that she (Akari) is jealous. She starts going on about how she wants to eat matcha cookies and tasty meats, but she has no money. About this time, she starts crying and vowing that she will be rich someday, and that she will have a house with a pool, and she will have a bathtub that shoots out soda water bubblies, and on and on. She is really pathetic at this point, wiping her eyes and sniffing. In fact, the way she sniffs so much is even a bit gross.
I guess I don’t really understand it. Does she really get paid so little that she has to Jones about eating little treats? She has 50,000 followers on Twitter. That is twice as many as Makoto Ogawa and aMI TOKITO. It’s about 30 times as many as Ryona Himeno (Girls Beat!!). One of her recent Tweets has 2,400 likes. By way of comparison, one time I got nine likes on a Tweet I sent. At one point in the video, she says that she has 7,000 viewers on her Showroom session. Other people, like Rina Takenaka (singer songwriter, ex-Hinoi Team, a.k.a. Rinana) usually have in the low hundreds. Can’t she translate that popularity into money?
It makes me wonder about the life of an idol, if it is all worth it for them, and how Akari Ishizuka is going to end up.
I think low tier 48 girls are paid very little because they don't do much work.
