Very true Havocguy. It’s good that they came out and showed their respect like that. The bottom line is what a tragedy it is when anyone commits suicide. It happens way way too often here in Japan.

I sometimes think the media in Japan is a bit out of touch with who they should be targeting with their marketing ploys (which I consider this kind of criticism of Goto to be)… one group of people with a lot of spendable income are the female unmarried twenty-somethings who work hard, live at home, and spend a lot of money. This is the same group that identifies with someone like Maki Goto. She did everything else right, the bow and so on.

People are commenting about how Tsuji came dressed, but it’s also about using a former bandmate’s mother’s funeral as a media event.

It’s easy to forget that these are people though, and Goto just lost her mother, probably a suicide from the top of the apartment building Goto had built for her. I remember when she was what 12? and tried out for Morning Musume back when they were relevant. She blew away the audition, and come to think of it, had dyed hair then too so obviously her mom wouldn’t mind.

A bit pathetic really, but not so surprising of the media who always adopt a “holier-than-thou” standpoint, especially when it comes to tarento.

Am going to assume the media didn’t really care about the short skirt on Tsuji’s head, but focused right on Goto.
