You cannot understand modern Japanese entertainment without acknowledging its past. The influence of (stylized drama) and Bunraku (puppetry) is evident in the dramatic pacing and character designs of modern animation.
In the West, a pop star can date, get married, and have public relationships. In Japan, for female idols, dating is often contractually forbidden . The illusion of "purity" and "availability" is a product sold to fans. When a member of a famous group is caught violating this rule (a "dating scandal"), the consequence is often a public apology—or even forcing the member to shave her head (a horrific incident that occurred in 2013 with AKB48’s Minami Minegishi). The otaku (fan) culture fosters a parasocial relationship so intense that the star's real human life is seen as a betrayal. Nonton JAV Subtitle Indonesia - Halaman 24 - INDO18
