Japanese Girl Band Member Ordered to Pay Damages for Going to Hotel Room With Male Fans

A 17-year-old former member of a Japanese girl band, or "idol group" as they are called in the country, was found to be in breach of a no-dating clause in her contract and ordered to pay $5,400 (￥650,000) by the Tokyo District Court.

"The clause prohibiting dating was necessary to get the support of male fans," said Judge Akitomo Kojima in his ruling, adding: "The revelation of an idol's relationship damages their image."

Contracts forbidding romantic engagements are standard for members of Japan's idol groups, but this is understood to be the first time a management company has successfully sued for damages.

The six-member group signed its contract in March 2013 and debuted in July of that year. After reports surfaced that the one member, who would have been 15 at the time, went to a hotel with two male fans, the group was disbanded in October 2013.

Great, a contract forbidding them to fuck. Is this even legal? (Oh, In Japan it apparently is)

What's next?!?

[Coligny]

[kurogane]

and ordered to pay $5,400 (￥650,000) by the Tokyo District Court.

Thank the Bebby Jeezuz F'in Krist for their First World image there's no denomination smaller than the yen.
BTW, a civil court ruling, non? Hence the legality of it.

Japan’s idol industry rife with predatory behavior
---Sarii Yoshizawa says she was asked to sleep with the agency's president before signing a contract---
tokyoreporter.com | September 22, 2015
Earlier this year, Tokyo police arrested an ex-president of a talent agency for sexually violating a 15-year-old aspiring female model on multiple occasions last year.
Weekly tabloid Spa! (Sep. 22-29) says the abuse of prospective employees is not an across-the-board facet of the industry, but the existence of predatory businesses (so-called “black agencies”) is very real.

Don't forget, the contract is with a minor

[Coligny]

At least the payment is in monies and not goats or camels.

This judge deserve a bullet in the head...

[kurogane]

At least the payment is in monies and not goats or camels...............

..............or underage pussies................

This judge deserve a bullet in the head...

The weird thing is it almost makes sense...........if you're a Japanese man............but yeah, pretty shaky legal logic there in MYHOMO.

I wonder if it would even impact sales to admit these girls have boyfriends.

[matsuki]

I wonder if it would even impact sales to admit these girls have boyfriends.

"Admit" indeed....all these lil sluts have boyfriends, but the trick is to not get caught with them. I think making the usual fuss about obvious bullshit like this is enough to keep the creepos with wet dreams at bay and buying their albums. Admitting they are already getting the sausage would ruin their wet dreams so I totally agree it would impact their sales. Whether that kind of contract is reasonable or legal...TIJ

'I have a new idol group concept to submit.

The name would be

Lesbos48

And the shows would include a lot of scissoring...

Derivative subgroups would include:
Paipan48
Fisting48
Goldshower48
Pantystuffer48

And intl' group
Muffdiving48

[Coligny]

kasparian's imitashiun of a a japanese idol is the awesum...

[Samurai_Jerk]

so I totally agree it would impact their sales

Based on what? It might have at one time but I wonder if it's still true.
