Kanna Scandal

I wasn't planning to talk about this. But I haven't heard anybody else voice the same opinion as me.

Kanna knew the rules. It doesn't matter how stupid we think they are, they're still rules. Even if they aren't as strongly enfored by H!P, they're still rules. Kanna broke those rules and it's a bit hard for me to have sympathy for her.

This is on the whole "these girls should be allowed to date!" kind of thing... I'm their age. I don't know if I'd be considered a normal girl or not, but I really don't feel an intense need to date. What's all this "These girls are so suppressed! I don't blame Miyabi/Kanna/whoever for wanting to be with a guy. H!P is so evil for depriving them from this."

I have plenty of girl friends who don't date. I know plenty of girls period who don't date. Of the girls who do date, I can't imagine they'd be very very upset to give up dating for something valuable. And I can't imagine that the need to be with a guy is so strong that the H!P girls would risk their jobs as idols (which is not just a job, but an important thing to fans) just to go to the movies or kiss a little. To me, this doesn't say "These girls need to be able to date!", it says they don't value their position as idols enough. I mean, they have to know the no dating rules right?

Maybe this is the "I want to be an idol!" person in me talking. But it's a real turn-off to me to see one of these girls do something like this. I want to ask, "Do you know how lucky you are? Do you know how many girls want to do what you do? Why would you even think about risking throwing what you have away?".

As a disclaimer, just because I personally don't want to date do I think it's a horrible thing or something. It's an important part of growing up and having the experience. Though not important enough I think to risk your job. There are a lot of things celebrities have to give up such as privacy. For the H!P girls, dating is one of those things they have to be willing to give up to be an idol.
