    It's so strange that a hikikomori would even want to come an idol yet be successful. I wish her all the best

      I first read your comment and expected much worse, in reality it's just the average student experience, well... not even that, average students are not as good looking so don't have it as easy

      alright, go work on yourself. You are showing too much jealousy on here.
      I am sure your life is much more easier than her but you gasling yourself to make it look hard. ​@@masterbowler75

    Another great one NihonJohn. When I heard Oomori Seiko had a new idol group I knew I had to check it out. While watching and listening to the "Family Name' video Aizome Karen immediately stood out. Here singing and danceing ability were exceptional and her presence and her look was stunning and unique. Again I felt as I did about Ano. I thought "This girl has got star quality!". it's so interesting that Karen and Ano have a similar back story. I have seen a TV show that both of them were on together with other members of ZOC. Great work sir.

    A lot of members have left ZOC, according to the Jpop Wiki. Karen remains. Kirano Jonah left and claimed she got harrassed by Oomori Seiko.
    I have had a similar experience to Karen in life, so I sympathize and hope she is happy at ZOC. The idol industry can be rough. I don't know the answer of course, feel free to fill me in if there's something I've missed. I guess it doesn't hurt being hopeful.

    I love this kind of noise because it was exactly me at age 17, Double hockey sticks to anyone that didn't understand the rebellious stage, Crazy stands for nothing in comparison to what I see here tbh.. badasses from punk rock kids getting locked up regularly for causing scenes any time possible was pretty much my teenage life in highschool so this really isn't as unusual as some may see it 😂

    • @savannah7758
      @savannah7758 6 місяців тому +2

      This is what I was thinking too; I have bad anxiety disorder and especially when I was a teen it would make me afraid of going out in a similar way that she described. I'm glad she's successful in a public-facing job now, though. It's a very hopeful story for those with anxiety.

    I don't have a slight interest in any Idol groups, especially Jpop, I don't even like babymetal like all my friends do. But I watched this video and felt like I understood her a lot. So I listened to my curiousity for the first time to see what kind of music she did that went so against her personality... ahh, now I understand why she stayed in the group and why I was attracted to looking it up. It's weird. It's the weirdest idol group and it's well done. I always find the weird and beautiful haha

  • @savannah7758
    @savannah7758 6 місяців тому +2

    I like ZOC, but I didn't know a member had a story like this! I also went through a phase of my life like hers when I was a teenager due to anxiety issues, seeing that she's talked about it in the media makes me want to oshi her :) Why do you say ZOC is "infamous," though? Did they have a big scandal or something? I honestly don't do much besides listen to their music.
