村川绯杏日前在平台「SHOWROOM」进行直播，最后甜甜笑着跟大家挥手道别，但似乎没有正确关闭摄影机，就误以为已经完全结束了，立刻放松呈大字型、一脸疲累的瘫在沙发上，并转头跟旁边的家人聊天。

谈话中，村川绯杏的家人直接提到，这一场直播可赚日币1.6万元，如果直播10场就等于拿到一个月薪水，令村川绯杏自己也惊讶大呼：「欸？！真的吗？！」意外爆出HKT48偶像的月薪。

Just gonna dump my feelings here or else I don't think I'll be able to sleep.

It was too much pain to look at Mayu for so long as she gives her speech, doing her best to show a good smile. It's too painful seeing that the fans are crying from the 悔しい Mayu is feeling, yet she can't allow herself to cry on stage.

To be honest, when I first heard her name called out, I felt a burst of hatred for everything AKB-related, this whole election, the whole 48 system, other members who had the right to be satisfied with their ranking, and how authority had to put the burden of center on Mayuyu when in actuality,  instead of trying to please the general audience, she's much more successful doing activities targeted at a more specific niche (like her Hikaru Monotachi single; successful concept fitting to Mayu but nooo management just has to make her sing boring idol songs for her solos).

But I was just not being reasonable and was overtaken by emotions. My negative feelings faded quickly because this Sousenkyou this year is just a big happy party LOL (for the most party anyway). In her speech, Mayu said something like, I have the confidence to be a better center than any other member, and I will keep moving forward while holding deep in my heart the hope that my name will be announced last in next year's Sousenkyou.

Even though there are many things I hate about AKB, there also so much to love. Mayu loves AKB, and to become a recognized center of AKB is her dream. It's really respectable how she handled her shocking rank so well; she already has the awareness and preparedness to go through many failures before she reaches her goal, so as a fan I must learn from her. 

I lay my promise here that, next year, I'll buy 10 voting tickets (I lied when I said 100 lol too unrealistic) and do my part in pushing Mayuyu to number 1 spot. Evidence right here, stab me in the eye if I don't follow through.

Some fans deserve a kick in the face. 

Background info in case you are confused: a gossip publication released an article about Miichan having late night dates with boy group Generation's (little-brother group of EXILE) member Shirahama Alan. Miichan shaves her head and demotes to Kenkyuusei (bascially unofficial member) in AKB in repentence while Shirahama Alan and his agency denies completely his relationship with Miichan.

Fortunately most overseas fans are quite understanding of Miichan's situation and are supporting her. Though there are still those groups of overseas fans plus the majority of Japanese hardcore male wotas who are blaming Miichan and saying things like "If you want to date, then quit AKB".

What a selfish thing to say. It also happens that these fans who are blaming Miichan are the ones who use to claim "Miichan my waifu, only mine." 

A cliche thing to say, but these fans are really seeing Miichan only as a machine and not as a person. Of course, a machine would always act in a logical way and quit AKB if it wanted to have romantic relationships. But Miichan is a person and what stress and thoughts she goes through these narrow-minded fans have no idea. As a person, even though you reason with yourself that something is forbidden, sometimes emotions just flood you and you can't control what you do. I wouldn't be surprised if these mad wotas just waste away their day all the time because they don't have the right self-control. 

What's really sickening is how they actually claimed to have loved Miichan like she was their girlfriend. If that's how they would treat their girlfriend then they really are one of those sexist dumbasses who only see women as fuck/fap material or a visually-attractive object for pleasing themselves; if a woman makes a mistake (women with flaws?? blasphemy!!) that in reality has nothing to do with the angry people themselves, then she loses all her worth in their eyes. What caring lovers they are.

All they ever say in response to Miichan's situation is "this feeling of betrayal is unbearable" or "she doesn't have the right to be an idol/my girlfriend anymore", failing to understand that she's not a man made image but instead a person. It's fine if you only see her packaged idol image side but don't make an image your girlfriend cuz that's pretty sad. Stop objectifying your "girlfriend" as a flawlessly programmed robot to fantasize about and try to see her as a person.

This is one side of wota/otaku culture I really do hate. You don't see this among the the Johnny's fandoms nearly as much because many hardcore -mostly male - wotas think they have some kind of ownership of their idol while the Johnny's fangirls do not have as strong as such sense of ownership. Every time a talent under Johnny's Entertainment gets involved in scandal, it's the female partner that becomes censored and disappears from the industry. While with AKB, when a member becomes involved in scandal, she pays a tremendous price while the male partner denies the relationship completely (see also Masuda Yuka's scandal and graduation) and continues their career in the industry fine.
