(the) Road to the Deep East

Recently, an instant recipe for a suicide is spreading among young people in Japan, and many young Japanese are killing themselves with this recipe. It is a combination of some detergents and bath cleaner, and the hydrogen sulfide caused by chemical reaction between them can kill a human being. But just like other kind of gas suicides, it can involve other people in neighborhood, hence this suicide is becoming a social problem in Japan. The Police had already forbidden to sell bath cleaner which includes sulfa to dubious customers. It seems I have to go abroad when I want to wash my bath.

And now, according to Tokyo Sports, it turned out one of casualties of this gas suicide was an ex-gravure idol who transferred to AV idol last February.

This 22 years old woman had been a stages actress when she was a high school student. Later, she entered in the show business world, and until recently, she'd been active as a gravure idol. However, she couldn't become so popular, and this February, she challenged to a porn video. And thanks to her past career, she could become one of popular actresses.

But it seems this change and transfer was a stress to her, and on March 18th, she killed herself in a bath room at her apartment. Before she passed away, it is rumored that she had notified her suicide on her blog, but her agency has already closed it, so there are no means to confirm it.

Personally, for some reasons, I knew about this AV idol, but never knew that she was a genuine gravure idol before. Just like av gals recently(like Aoki Rin), I'd thought it is just a fixed and planned promotion activity that she was a gravure idol before her AV debut.

Actually, she was a kind of famous gravure idol who had a certain number of fans, and she transfered for real. When she made her AV debut, some fans who had supported her from her gravure-era felt that they were betrayed by her. And those ex-fans began to accuse her on the Internet. And it seems she couldn't stand this bashing.

If I were Christ, I would say: 'How did you use her photo books? If there is a person without onanie among them, let him first cast a stone at her...' First, I couldn't understand why her fans had to get angry about the av debut of gravure idol they love.

But later, as an ex-idol otaku, I could understand. These fans may be wishing more than gravure idols on her, and they were just wishing her to become an actress or a famous TV star, just as many successful gravure idols do. But this too much love killed her in the end.

In addition, and not only fans' accuse, it seems she was not belonging to a good agency in AV industry.

Usually, AV gals starts from moderate ones, and challenge to hardcore later. For example, there is a 18 years old AV gal named Itagaki Azusa, who also transfered from gravure world to AV world recently. Her debut work was very moderate one in which Azusa makes love as if she does with her boyfriend , and even after 6 months since her debut, she hasn't experienced gang-bang rape yet.

However, as for this transfered gravure idol's case, she debuted in a bizarre work in which she had to have sex while her female friend is watching her, and had to challenge to gang-bang rape in the second work. So, just like fans' anger, her career was not controlled propery by the agency.

To make the matter worse, even after her death, this agency is selling her videos publicly on the Internet, although they deleted her blog from the same Web site. When somebody purchase her videos, will the money go to her bereaved family? I don't think so. I remeber this happened when another famous AV actress was found dead in 2000 in a very mysterious way. (details).

Only the thing I can say is, 'Don't become an AV girl, women.' I wish all AV were yakuza free, and all AV idols could become happier in a garden of love.
