>>3240065Graduation is getting fired though, or at least leaving the company. Its the idol culture keyfabe euphemism for "getting fired" to add a layer of separation between the idols-as-people and idols-as-employees sides of the idol business. Idols dont get fired, thats a bad word that implies she was doing a job, getting paid, putting in a 9 to 5 for the money and career progress, instead of being a passionate idol, full of grit and dreams doing it for her fans. The CN branch 'graduated', they didnt get fired.
Her gripe with corporate youtube channels owning talents is neither new nor wrong.
Contractually forcing Haato to stay in character or get fired with a probable NCC for 5 years is a shitty business practice and is absolutely the fuck not basic PR, most managed talents in the west can do and say whatever they want. This only happens in Asia.
Idol companies are horrible. Vshojo is probably not that far off but there's zero chance they'd have people working for them if they had an asian idol management agency business model. It would **never** work in the west, they probably had to water it down for EN.
