If you thought AKB48 fans were bad enough, boybands like Arashi and KAT-TUN have plenty of local (and foreign) fanatics among their following who will do all kinds of embarrassing things to show their love for the pampered soshoku danshi.
A billboard currently on display in an underground passage of Shinjuku has generated some particularly queasy sights as girls (but not only girls?) gather to worship the image of the five singers.
The posters are changing daily, with six versions showing the beautiful boys posing in different weathers.
Girls have been seen gathering en masse in Shinjuku and getting very close indeed to the idols’ 2D bodies, even going so far as to rub their faces in their crotches.
Needless to say, the hordes of horny girls are proving a major obstacle for regular train station users who want to pass along the corridor in their pursuit of an ordinary life that doesn’t involve having sex in public with advertising.
