I guess by now, a whole lot of you has read that article I linked above.
I am coming out of my hiatus to clarify this issue, since apparently, Anime News Network has resorted to click bait titles and has failed to do their research, and thus spreading malice and misinformation among fans.
To clarify the wrong information by ANN, the premium bikini seats are for WOMEN ONLY. WOMEN ONLY
Also, had ANN’s wonderful writer bothered to do their research, they would’ve found out that it is stated in Granrodeo’s website that NO MALE FANS ARE ALLOWED IN THE PREMIUM, WOMEN-ONLY AREA.
PREMIUM, SWIMSUIT ONLY AREA IS FOR WOMEN ONLY. NO MEN WILL BE ALLOWED INSIDE
And seriously?? “Forced” to wear bikinis/swimsuits? If the Rodeo Girls don’t want to wear bikinis, they have the option to choose other seats in the live house. It’s not like the premium seats are the only place for them. Re-iterating the word “premium”, only official members of the Rodeo Club, Rodeo Girls, are allowed to bid for those tickets, and such, there are only limited slots available.
And as if wearing bikinis/swimsuits is a new thing for Rodeo Girls. Again, had the writer bothered to check previous concerts by Granrodeo, they would’ve known that the Rodeo Girls already wear bikinis to the lives out of their own accord. Even in the middle of winter.
Not to mention, that the blog they sourced is not even up there in the trustworthy factor.
So dear ANN, your writers, and contributors, the next time you write an article, DO SOME DAMNED RESEARCH.
