Urakata de Support Shiteta Geinou Ikka wo Tsuihousareta Boku wa, Futsuu no Seishun wo Ouka Shitai - Vol. 1 Ch. 9 - Mitsuki's Case

[feha]

I totally agree with you that idols, stars, celebrity and all "public" people should definitly have the right to their private life, obviously if their conduct isn't against the law, but if a celeb wants to get wasted from time to time or have a good time with his lover no one should bother (As long as they don't bother other people)

But here it's different, in term of backlash, sure like you said the other people who enabled her to get wasted should be investigated and all, but she herself also need to take responsability, she's under many contract, endorsements and whatever and she's old enough to understand what's what. Here not only is she breaking the law, she's violating many contracts and crushing her own public image. Why do you think she SHOULDN'T receive any backlash?

She isn't breaking the law though. That's the entire thing. It is not illegal for a minor to drink alcohol. It is illegal to enable them to do so (be that through selling, gifting, or even just not keeping your storage inaccessible to them. Or as a parent, by not reparenting them when you notice they do). Which is why the people around her would be the ones to get backlash, and she is a victim instead.

ps: but iirc, while it is legal for a minor to drink, it is still just as illegal for a minor to give their alcohol to another, as it was for a major.
pps: and as always when discussing legality, there is the unwritten disclaimer that things differ between countries. And I will admit I do not know japan's, only here's.

While i get your meaning, since your "can't" drink under 20, it is mostly thought as "illegal".
While doing a quick search i found that :
Since it is punished it's probably considered illegal?

If a minor is caught drinking, they could face fines or disciplinary measures. Parents and guardians are also likely to face repercussions if they have allowed or not adequately prevented the minor from having alcohol. Some penalties may also be applied.

As far as I understand, it's actually illegal and punishable, but as with many summary offences, largely unenforced. Basically, no one cares unless it's causing problems for others. However, as a public and role model figure, she is causing many, many problems for others.

Yeah I ended up "looking up" (aka consulted our resident hallucination-machine named chatgpt) how it is in japan, and it does appear they do have laws against the minors too. Out of curiosity I also looked up how it is over the pond found in the opposite direction, and it seems that usa of america also got such laws (even if that place is unrelated to the discussion). Being more like jp than us.

In that case there absolutely is an issue with her posting proof of it herself.

You kinda messed up the quoting
but yeah, like I said above, I did end up looking up jp, and it appears that they have different laws than us in regards to that (but I didn't fact-check the hallucination-machine ).

Darn I already read all of that

For those wondering what’s wrong with the image, she made the persona of a cute kind and hard working idol.

It’s not the alcohol that’s the issue it’s her clothes. She’s wearing a spiked collar and a torn punk open collar shirt that shows a bit of cleavage. For most people this is still fine but in Japan for an idol one’s image is also their lifeline that can make or utterly break a career.

If this look destroys the image of her fans view of her they will feel betrayed or confused.

It may not help with the blush that shows she might be intoxicated or such.

 

[VooXoo]

The scandal is 100% becaus eof the alchol, she is 18 in japan, they can't drink until 21, is not that she just ruined her pure idol image but outright broke the law.
The damage is immense because she had young followers, and they now know their idol breaks the law, drink and faked her image.
The contracts will be cancelled, but that is the minimum, her agency (MILF) will have to pay a breach of contract as she had specific rules to follow, she can't even work anymore after the scandal

Spoiler: Spoiler

checked the novel and as her scandal is big but not too much she is hinted of having a chance to return as entertainer, if she had used drugs it would have been over

.

I find stupid how she hates MC so mcuh when they all siblings, we still have to work out if MILF was impregnated no stop for 7 years, they are adopted, different fathers or whatever, but she is specifically her twin, they have the exact same blood, calling him a bastard is calling herself the same.
It really makes you think on how MILF worked behind MC back to brainwash 5 of his sisters to hate him.

I say 5 because

Spoiler: spoiler

the 2 youngest don't hate him, one simply didn't care about him and had gone with the family decision, not good, not bad, extremely selfish like the others, when the other loves him like a brother and was happy he was getting kicked out because it meant he was free from them and stopped being abused as slave, I mean free worker, I mean prisoner with a job.

 

[Digidestined701]

So all she has to say is the immense pressure of being an idol got to her and she had a breakdown. 6 weeks at spa and she starts her come back tour with her fans even more devoted to her.

Also why does Japan still not have an equivalent phrase to "fuck off bitch"?

Nah, scandals for Japanese Idols are VERY different to scandals for American actors/singers. In America that would work, in Japan Idols are supposed to be 100% pure. Even suggesting one has a boyfriend could destroy them, much less consuming illicit substances.

 

[ArchivistAlex98]

So, there is someone who is part of this trash Talent Agency who is actually aware of the MCs worth to the company. It's just that she's only a Secretary so she can't actually do much of anything.

 

[TenThousandWaspsInACoat]

Oh come on.. Why do it stop at here... I guess the brand of the alcohol drink is not the one that sponsor her or something?

She's underage, she has a certain curated persona, she is promoting various things and has contracts based on that persona. Alcohol drinking alone as underaged person is a serious problem, for an idol, especially one with her type of persona, it's an absolute catastrophe.

 

[TenThousandWaspsInACoat]

Oh, yeah then there is an issue. SHE should not get any backlash, but her company/family/whoever enabled her to buy said alcohol, will. And I would not be surprised in the police launches an actual investigation. And her parents are also liable for legal troubles, if there is any sign that they might have been aware.

Nah, that's an issue in their country's idol culture. Not an issue with the selfie or its contents. Idols are still people and should be expected to have a life off-camera [...].

Why would she not get backlash? She was still engaged in underage drinking. While others can potentially be involved in this mess, in the end she was the one who went out of her way to break the law and then post incriminating pictures online.

And no, this is very much on her.

• She actively decided to become an idol, and take all of the benefits from that. This comes with certain expectations.
• She actively made her life public, both by becoming an idol and posting these pictures.
• She took on sponsorships and curated a persona, something which benefitted her a lot. But in turn creates expectations.

At the end of the day if you are the product you are selling, if you make your life public, if you want all the benefits and upsides that come with that. You can't then expect to have zero accountability or expectations especially if you actively helped create those expectations and took them on willingly.

 

[TheEnd478]

I don't think is because of the alcohol, I assume is because she has fame as an idol with a cute and kind persona and the clothes she was wearing certainly don't fit that. Granted we can't really see the full pic so it could very well be the alcohol too.

Also remember this is JAPAN, where getting caught doing certain things as a CELEG or Politician is enough to see you ERASED from anything you were in (like what happened to that one actor who was a main character in Yakuza 4, the moment he was caught with drugs, the dude was finished, his character was "send elsewhere" and never heard from again in the fifth game and even his REPLACEMENT never came back after the fifth game just to show they wanted to "forget his character AKA that actor's character" by removing ALL MENTION of him! They even CHANGED his face and VA in the REMASTER of that entry just to SHOW how DONE with him everyone, including Sega and the creator of Yakuza were!
It actually WAS the beer that ruined her, she never bothered to pay attention to what was AROUND HER so she was SO busy being a Narcissist liking her pic, she never NOTICED that she should have put the cans away as they got caught in the photo, it's why you got to be careful with selfies! She HATED her brother being in them, but he ENHANCED the photos because she looked "even better for her IMAGE" as a "Good older sister" which was a complete lie obviously, but she never thought about it and her NARC brain only assumed he was "trying to steal her glory" as she wanted to be ALL ABOUT HERSELF!
Plus checked the Novel out (it's on Novel Update) and yes it is The Alcohol, likely the manga artist wanted it to be a "well you have to wait to find out" even though the novel gave his sisters their own "and here's where they fucked up" chapters on the side. She might as WELL be caught doing DRUGS with how FUCKED she is! being at a POINT in her career where she CEMENTS herself or like Icarus comes HURDLING SCREAMING ON FIRE FROM FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN....which she did the LATTER) At best she COULD make an apology, but she's DAMAGED her worth as an idol along with her image that will be HARD to get back! Her new manage cannot handle her as her little brother at LEAST was "use to the abuse and convinced himself in TIME she would appreciate what he's done for her" (never knowing that "no, no NONE OF THEM WOULD".....

Spoiler: Well...

Except the two youngest, take note the youngest said "she just hated him!" and didn't elaborate more! Almost as though she was "telling the harpies she calls sisters what they wanted to hear"

)

Yep, Notice when she mentioned her reason for hating her little brother, it was because he would never let her do selfies and would even ask her to let him be in it! She was SO NARCISSITIC to not see that he ADDED to the Selfie as it showed her being "a cute older sister taking a picture with herself and her little brother" which FURTHER increased her fans love for her, being a BIG SISTER who "LOVED HER LITTLE BROTHER" was a image boost she was TOO full of herself and NARCISSISTIC to see it for what it was. And now she gets a NASTY reminder (but then I guess when the writer has her take another shot in hoping her little brother is suffering to REALLY remind you she's unlikable and deserves what happens next!)

Frankly speaking, when it get out what they did to their little brother, well it's going to REALLY damage ALL of their reputations since the mother MISSED how not everyone shares her NARCISSISTIC MAN HATING tendencies! MC is such a CUTE young man that the image of "doting older sisters/mother" did WONDERS for their reputation and he was OUT THERE to the public as EXISTING! The "Explanation" for his absent is going to be REALLY damaging to their reputation, especially if the mother is STUPID enough to use "un-talented" as an excuse for "abandoning her MINOR son like she did" (She likely ASSUMED everyone important would "understand" when there's a REASON laws exist, at best she likely assumed she could get away with "sending him away elsewhere" as some minor student's if their parents can afford it, can get them an apartment near their school to make the commute easier as Japan can be abit LAX with supervision, as long as the student is a certain age AND is being checked up on that is! HE likely is STILL registered with the family as that's something she cannot get away with disowning him without cause at his younger age! But the clause on his money might have been placed there to PREVENT her from trying that, she likely assumed her daughters COMBINED fortunes with hers dwarfed what money she was getting from the trust set up for him to prevent her from acting as she WANTED to do! Hence she acted as she wanted to do, and believed he was TOO submissive to bring up a stink.....and if he did she'd CRUSH IT easily cause "he's untalented" not thinking she'd be in HOT WATER already having him "working in her fucking company as an employee" FAR more then his job as an INTERN likely required just like his replacement! The mother and her daughters are NARCISSIST, so they are in for a SHOCK when it ends badly for them) I think it will just be the CHERRY on top of the shit sundae they made for themselves when it gets found out.

And yes, what you last said is ESPECIALLY true in japan where the fallout is SO MUCH WORSE when stuff like this happens, you can EASILY end up unpersoned and back to being a NOBODY LOSER for shit like this (She's luck, had it been DRUGS, it would have been SO MUCH WORSE for her) she took it for granted, assuming the "Great Her" could survive ANY controversy only NO, no she CAN'T and she's going to get a NASTY showing of just how easily she can fall back to NOBODY

 

[TheEnd478]

From what I remember it's only the second youngest, and the youngest sister to join MC back. The second youngest, the singer, is not that deserving of MC's forgiveness since she didn't really want him as part of the family, unlike the youngest, the youtuber. The youngest is actually really on MC's side from the beginning, happy that he was finally out of the family that hates him.

In regards to the singer, she only wanted to join MC back because she will find out that he was V (Five-San), a renowned vocaloid composer.

Yeah agreed

Spoiler: On the spoiler

At least the Youngest wanted him gone because she KNEW he was better off without those harpies, the second youngest was a case of "hating him till she discovered he was someone she admired, it's almost like OLD Lois Lane who EVERYONE uses as an excuse for why she and clark should not be together, the old one who was VOCAL about treating Clark lowly while PRAISING Superman, so they feel when she finds out, she's ONLY NOW interested in "boring smallville" cause he's superman! There's more to it, but people are shallow and look for ANY REASON to put Superman with Wonder Woman the fools! But yeah dislike that about her, but well it does make the YOUNGEST shine better as a good little sister in that she saw the hags that were her older sisters and her mother for what they TRULY WERE! Would they have mistreated her like MC had she NOT been as talented, all while ignoring MC talent WAS helping them SHINE that they took for granted all while HOPING the worse for him for "DARING" to stop them from INDULGING IN THEIR PETTY SHIT DESERVING OF BADNESS IN HIS LIFE FOR STOPPING/LIMITING! She can SMELL their hypocrisy! Let me guess they all turn on each other after looking so UNITED once the chips are down, as in try to blame the other for their fall rather then accept it was A JOINT EFFORT ON ALL OF THEIR PART for why their failing!

 

[OSAITUS]

So, I remember that one of the sisters talked about finally being able to eat sweets... so i guess she will end up gaining weight (Japan being Japan, only a little more weight would be enough).

Also remember another saying that MC rejected a gig with some director... I still can´t pin the level of this manga, so is either a bad gig... or a bad director.

This one complained about MC always making her take a lot of pictures before uploading them... So far all the pictures she took and we could see, don´t look that bad, don´t think it would be something so foolish as "she looks ugly", might it be that she doesn´t look like the Idol image that she is supposed to portray (Idols are weird like that)?

Ah, most manga twins are either one character split into two, possessive or best friends and sometimes(fairly often) incest implication. In this manga, its the ol reliable evil twin.

more like useless twin

A successful super successful talent agency, but has 2 employees. Its funny but its not entirely unrealistic 😂

 

[VladDracul2]

wow turns out he was the pillar of the group all along!!!! Who knew!!1!!!! My dead grandma could’ve predicted this boring dumbass plot.

Nice tits on the main girl tho, so I’ll stay.

Apparently so could the MC's dead grandma, hence the clause.
