V6's Ken Miyake learning sign language for a deaf girl who came to the handshake event

1: 禿の月φ ★ 2014/03/17 18:36:15

V6's Ken Miyake expressed his regrets in dealing with a fan. Miyake, who has been appointed as the "navigator" in NHK's new program Minna no Shuwa (beginning on April 6), was in Shibuya's NHK for the presscon of the program.

Miyake revealed that he has studied how to do sign language because: "A deaf girl came to our handshake event, and she tried to converse with me through sign language. I couldn't understand it all, and I didn't know how to respond. That, for me, was a regret.". After that, he attended a once-a-week, 2 hours per session course to specifically learn sign language.

When Miyake was asked what the other members thought about this, he commented: "The other members knew that I was learning sign language, and they congratulated me on getting this project". He also received heartwarming comments from fans such as, "I'll also study sign language thanks to this".

He also voiced out the trouble that he's been experiencing with the filming and says: "Sign language is very limited, and I'm always having difficulty in choosing the appropriate Japanese words for the signs." Finally, his message to the viewers: "It'll be difficult for the viewers if they start thinking, 'I have to study! I have to study!', so I think that it's important to enjoy yourself while learning".

I just filed a lawsuit on 1/21. I brought up various facts, but the bottomline here is that I want to prove in this trial that they (AKS) have a relatively evil business model by forcing the member to treat the fans who have become extremely close friends with the member harshly so that the fans will change their "oshi".

By the way, I spilled the beans about the wrongdoings of Hitachi, but I still got dismissed for disciplinary reasons, and previously filed this lawsuit:

Erena Ono answers her detractors

Erena Ono receives word that she's being slandered on the Internet with comments such as:
"Shocking. Do her parents know what she's doing? It's already like prostitution."
"How miserable. Doesn't she question her own actions?"
"Erepyon... you're finished..."

To which Ereno replies on her Twitter:
"Hm? I'm just expressing my love to the people who came here to love (and see) me*. I don't think people should be saying what's good and what isn't."
"I can do whatever I want to. The fans come to see me with their love, I'm just approaching them too with my love for them. That's natural, right?"
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I won't stop doing this."
"I'm seriously mad. I'm pissed."


* Translator's note: 愛に（会いに）来てくれた = Ai ni kite kureta = came to see me (会いに来てくれた); but she intentionally used another kanji for Ai (会い) which is "愛" or "love" so it literally translates to "came to love me".

Erena Ono's "handshake" event

1： 禿の月φ ★ 2013/06/24(月) 14:30:54.49 ID:???P

Actress and singer Erena Ono (formerly of AKB48), had handshake events around the country from June 18-23. Ono joined AKB48 in 2006 as part of the second batch, and placed 11th in the "13th single general elections" in 2009.

Ono graduated from AKB in 2010, took a break, then appeared in the movie Sankaku and starred in her first drama Tanktop Fighter.

Ono released her first album "ERENA" on June 19 and held a mini-concert + handshake event. People who bought the 3 versions of her CD (Limited Release A/B and standard release) were able to have their picture taken with Ono using a small instant camera.She reportedly got so close to the people who had this opportunity (only a few centimeters away from their faces). 

After seeing the pictures posted on Twitter, it drew quite a few reactions.
"I envy them. So total for 3 albums is about 10,000 yen... There's no choice for me but to go!"
"She's full of that 'service spirit'."
"This is amazing..."
"I feel she'll be assaulted one of these days."
