For now, I'm just a casual fan, and understand that even if their initial presentation had been tweaked for PR, sometimes the truth about the girls come out, for better or worse to advance or wreck their careers (and the sponsors are very PR-sensitive).

Of course, as Japan (and may be true in most East Asian countries) seems to have a mind-boggling number of people presenting themselves as stars (in any way they could, even gravure or AV), it's quite a very fiercely competitive, political environment -- sink or swim, do or die -- and whoever comes out on top will be remembered for a very long time.

Even then, however, I take the gossip about the girls with a pinch of salt; they're still human to me.
