I think that we're branding our girls stupid/naive by saying that they're less human if prohibited from dating. Of course, girls in general have the "right" to date someone they like but there are things called "responsibilities" and "obligations". In exchange for fame and glamour, these girls and their parents know there will be limitations in what they could do. Idols in the age of majority are the ones who sign their contract and have the most experience and knowledge about unwritten(?) rules, they should know they are not possession of their fans/wota but it's these wota who put and maintain their relevance in the idol fandom.<br /><br />On the other hand, I'm a western fan that believes that Idols should marry and have kids in the future in order for them to be truly called successful. I just think idols should concentrate on their careers and improve their quirks and talents, and that their other half will arrive on the right time and situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759251870127112523.post-9898684944613012602013-07-03T21:40:52.428+08:002013-07-03T21:40:52.428+08:00Honestly, I would not like young girls like Kuduu,...Honestly, I would not like young girls like Kuduu, Ayumin or Sakura to date. However it should be ok for the senpais like Sayumi or Maimi. I know being pure it's part of the idol image, but even Tsunku himself said "we can't stop their growing forever". So with the ban being lifted for adult girls, they could stay longer in the groups, if they desire it. However I strongly doubt that the ban will ever be lifted from H!P.

As a girl I could not care less if they date or not (both male or female idol), as long as they are happy and not envolving the group. I mean, a lot of idols already date in secret and must be awful to love someone in secret... So yes, stupid rule.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759251870127112523.post-90107571329309768582013-06-27T23:50:48.743+08:002013-06-27T23:50:48.743+08:00Japanese employers often make what Westerners cons...Japanese employers often make what Westerners consider outrageous demands on their employees. Add to that Asian girls tend to begin dating later than their American or European counterparts. Given this, I doubt the girls are that inconvenienced by the "no dating" rule.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
