I found a fan story about Jurina way back Oogoe Diamond Days. and I just want to confirm if this was real? Spoiler: Jurina Fan Story I think the people who came from Kiba-san's Google+ should know me. But the number of people have grown so much that there are many that I haven't met. So I'll once again introduce myself. I'm Sassa. I live in Suginami, Tokyo. Don't be alarmed. I'm in my 40's and single. The trigger for AKB was Onyanko Club in my high school days. It gives away my age, but it was the time of Donpisha (?). At the time, I've come across Akimoto sensei's songs. I heard that Akimoto sensei is making a new idol group. I wanted to go to the theater because I really wanted to hear the songs. But being in sales, I gave up since I could not get any vacation at the end of the year. The following year, starting from January 2006, I started going to the theater. At the time you could easily get even same-day tickets. Audience was around 20 people. No one goes behind the pillars. Everyone is in the middle. Empty seats... I remember the sense of crisis. And I received flyers from volunteers. For what it's worth, I even enjoyed at the theater the first time AKB had a full house. I felt that the grass-roots efforts were paying off. Then the 2nd generation auditions and formation of Team K. I saw their stage a few days after its shonichi, with only 40 people in the audience, and even felt that the new team was in trouble. But gradually more people went. 3rd generation. Team B stage. There were days in a row with full audience. Even going to the theater, I could only watch the monitors. But I was happy, knowing the days when there was almost no audience. My AKB centered life changed at the Oogoe Diamond handshake event. At that time, the senbatsu members were split in 2 lines for handshakes. Thinking back on it, it was like a dream-like place to be able to handshake with half the senbatsu at once. This time, one of the double center selected was Matsui Jurina, the ace from the new group in Nagoya, and I wanted to meet her with the new atmosphere she would bring. I was excited for the event, but what I found there was hell. In the middle of the line was Jurina. There were fellow fans, that I think are antis, who pushed away Jurina's outstretched hand, openly glared at her, and even yelled at her. If it was just one person, you can count it as an unpleasant fan, settle down your feelings and move on. But it was like an army, scolding Jurina in a loop. I watched Jurina holding back tears, blood drained marks on her hands from handshaking so hard because of frustration, but still smiling each time at the next person in line and holding her hands out for handshake. I decided "I must shield her from the antis" as his turn came. "Seeing what's happening today, I've decided to leave AKB and become Jurina's shield. From now on, I'll support SKE and Jurina." Jurina started sobbing. She didn't say anything and I wondered if I conveyed my thoughts properly. But I was happy that next in line was Mariko-sama who knew me (from when she worked in the cafe). She said to me, "Absolutely. Support Jurina. Because right now, Jurina must have support." I'm sure the next one was Acchan. "It's not Jurina' s fault. Although it's sad you're leaving AKB, please take care of Jurina." But because I was shocked by Jurina's crying, I don't remember what the other senbatsu members said. Then right after that, I heard the Jurina left the handshake event, so I went to Togasaki-san to apologize. Since that day, I've been secretly supporting SKE and also Jurina. The handshake events now, recognition by members is important to people. There are even those who force the members to remember them. I don't need this. It's enough that Jurina can do her best for SKE. That has become my main concern. The competition for stage tickets have become ridiculous. So I've become an at-home and DMM wota. But I think my feelings/thoughts for 48-group do not lose to anyone. Please forgive me for that. lol Sorry for being such a troublesome old fan. is this for real? isn't the security in their supposed to protect the members and not just let things like this happened? what a horrible situation for a young girl like Jurina must have gone through if this was real. tsk, tsk. tsk
Whether this is real or not, it's a fact that girls often get hurtful remarks at HS events by antis or even inconsiderate fans. Kato Rena once wrote about fans ignoring her and not wanting to give her a high five after the show like they would to the rest of the members, after her transfer to team 4. I'll never understand this kind of behaviour. Even if I had a strong dislike for a certain member, I could never deliberately show it in front of her. And to think it's because of stupid things which they have no control over, like transfers and center positions.
The same happened to Acchan. (I think we all know how much her haters hate her, no need to elaborate here lol.) The girls who got that treatment usually are the girls who are pushed.
i heard too much stories about different members like that from handshakes ! and whether the stories are true or not we all know how much senbatsu/pushed girls get hate anyways there was a story i read once when a fan approached Takamina in her handshake lane and shook her right hand and squeezed it so hard trying to harm her...that she couldn't shake hands with her right hand but she didn't stop and continued the handshake event ...but security asked fans to shake her left hand instead he also told her some harsh words but i don't exactly remember what he told her ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ there was also a story about Tomochin getting harsh words from antis in handshake same with Acchan and can you imagine the hate Miichan got after returning to handshake after her scandal in 2013 urgh stupid psychopaths...
Things like that used to happen to Ohori Megumi too. if the video does not show watch the video here (7:12)
Apparently there was once a time a person threw ash to Yamada Mizuho's face during a handshake event.
It's not like securities can defend the girls against antis verbal abuse...they can't read mind. They can drag the guy away after he act like a douche but it's usually too late I remember hearing story about an anti that came with like 70 tickets (i don't remember exact number but it was a lot of hs tickets) to Amina line and started ranting about her. When security drag him away he threw the tickets at her face and she cried. '_' I don't like Paruru at all but i don't get why people need to tell it to their face and be a douche about it. like cool you don't like her w/e~ and who the hell spend money on hs tickets just to tell someone to you hate them when you could use it to meet your oshi....or buy other stuffs. So dumb af
lol, some fans are really taking the whole thing seriously. wasting money just to ease his mind and let out his anger to a member. their was also this recent incident with Paruru. this info come from Paruru's S48 thread BREAKING NEWS Apparently some trouble occurred at Paruru's lane today at the nation wide HS .. This guy refuse to show his hands for security check was stopped by security...I guess he complied with the request thereafter? But after the HS, he refused to let go of Paru's hand..and cling on to the barrier .. they have to call in security to wrestle him away.... Poor Paruru ( ;; ) At the HS, before you get to the member, you are to raise both hands to the security (check) before you can proceed.. I don't know since I am not there but why would anyone lie about such happenings >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and isn't the usher supposed to check on the members and fan interaction. tsk, tsk, tsk. it's true their are really troublesome fans who won't comply to leave and will still hold the hand of the member for a few more seconds but situation like this are crossing the line already. and to think that the HS is supposed to be a fun event but incident like this are the dark side of it.
Poor Paru. I feel even sorrier for her because she already hates handshaking as is. I guess with her level of fame/push she must get a ton of antis, I hope she can just brush it off. My favorite story is about an anti who went up to Akimoto Sayaka and said offensive stuff to her and she wouldn't let go of him until she forced him to apologize to her for his rudeness. I don't really have a source or remember the story properly with all the details, but I remember she got hated on for disrespecting that fan (!!!!) and had to make a blog post about it afterwards. I wish more girls were as badass as she is, honestly. A lot of these creeps just get off on the feeling that the girls are defenseless so they can't respond. I mean, obviously it's on the management to protect them and well, Sayaka did end up getting heat for standing up for herself, but it's all so ridiculous.
Sayaka is ♡ Like that one time some douche bother Kasai by making dirty jokes just bc she have a sexy image and Sayaka defended Kasai and made the guy apologize Those douche bother girls just bc they know they can. These girls are idols so it's not like they can say fck you or it will come off as them being the rude one so trolls do this shit r_r That's why i was like YASSSS SASHI when she shut her anti twitter down for telling her to die.
Yeah, that was from the Flying Get HS. The guy supposedly asked Sayaka to do something and she refused, so he flipped her off. She initially laughed it off but the guy kept glaring at her and giving her the bird while security was escorting him away, so she yelled at him to come back and apologize. Security brought him back and she scolded him until he apologized, then she sent him off with a smile and a handshake. Here is a translation of Sayaka's blog entry afterwards. Reinyan and Chiyuu were also harassed during that event and tweeted/blogged about it.
There are many handshake stories...I've even posted one before on arama. Back when Ainyan/Fukumoto Aina was still in NMB (now she's graduated). It was when she was down and injured, but still taking part in handshakes, and a "fan" came up to her and told her he was happy to see her hurt. For people who don't know, back in her time, Ainyan was known to be one of the best members in NMB for handshakes due to her enthusiasm, and that she was really good at talking. Milky once even recommended people to go to her because she said that Ainyan can talk really fast and can say a lot to you within seconds. But yeah to read the full story about that, here: http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/3872093.html We know about it because Ainyan posted it on Google Plus back then.
Iirc i heard that Sayaka also learn english to interact with overseas fans and learn hand languages to understand her mute fans.
