The world of the show shown by an Idol is bright, full of light and music, smiling people… that’s what we who are on the other side see. But we must understand that the show is not only what the artists do, since they have their life, their concerns and true feelings, something that Yuki Kashiwagi tells us in a video revealing the secrets, the hidden side that no one observes in the hard work of an Idol.
The truth about Idols revealed by Yuki Kashiwagi
After having been to countless events, this cute Japanese singer, a well-known Idol of AKB48 group, describes her experience after having been to various fan meeting events, emphasizing in her video some aspects that fans should never do under any circumstances with their favorite artists.
First of all, the attitude in a meeting, he remarks with some feeling that, in many events, fans tend to be very excited, so in the handshake they usually put a lot of force, something that can be uncomfortable or even at specific times, cause pain or injury to the artist. He says with a smile that, at times, the guys who give him a handshake use perfume on their hands, perhaps so as not to fill them with the smell of sweat, something he appreciates, but does not recommend doing: “Do not use perfume on your hands”.
Another point addressed by Yuki is that many fans have reproached him for not remembering their names, taking the fact personally, he recommends us not to ask to remember their names, being so many hundreds of fans at the events in different places, it is almost impossible to do so. It is normal that in the events there are so many idol lovers, since even the children are in tendency to have much appreciation to the artists and more in the anime, something that we have covered in depth in this note of our page.
To end her video she offers us one last point, a very important one, because in many of the encounters, some fans tend to ask about their personal lives, how they feel or if they are tired, something that is very uncomfortable for the artists, since it would be breaking the barrier between Idol and fan. These things are told in many of her videos, the beloved Yuki Kashiwagi on her YouTube channel with more than half a million subscribers, presenting a glimpse into the world of female artists from up close; you can find her here.
