Then what ideas would you like to propose? Abolish the entire system?
Trying to impose Western ideals and expectations of the "politically-correct" and "acceptable" onto Japanese society is like cooking Spam over a lightbulb.
(I listen to most forms of music, not just AKB; I embraced them in reaction to the overwhelming saturation of k-pop and Bieber, so you may call me somewhat biased. Good God, you remind me of someone I defriended off Twitter because he sought "musical purity over eye candy".
You mentioned Mizuki? One of her fans is Mayu Watanabe; Another member named Rino Sasshihara organized the largest gathering of idol groups like it was Woodstock.
I like their imperfection. I like to see them grow up as genuine persons than just pretty faces on a magazine.)
