how do you think you would handle being an idol in japan

i'd have difficulties adjusting.. maybe if i could wear a costume or a mask like the Daft Punk bots... i'd might enjoy it better.

@Panda-kun If people can focus on the mask being the idol then i can take it off and just be a normal person and none would be the wiser.like a hero in disguise. Ever talked or sat next to a stranger and wonder what thier life is like? they could be filthly rich, maybe they write books under a surname, or ghost writer for music. i'd like to be one of those people.

I hear the Idols get worked pretty ragged there. I dunno if I could deal with that I like my peace and quiet some too. Maybe as a masked character I could work part time that might not be as bad. The Blue Man Group was like that. They would play in multiple cities live sometimes as it was really 9 guys in 3 bands.

I'd quit. Being an idol(like Morning Musume or AKB48) in Japan, especially if you're female, means having to abstain from any intimate relationships. If you even are caught holding hands with a boy, that makes a huge scandal, and then you're doomed by the wrath of your agency, and the wrath of your angry fans who feel betrayed and suddenly will hate you(especially if they are Japanese male otaku).
