In recent days, the number one hot topic in the entertainment industry of social networks in the three East Asian countries has undoubtedly been the suicide of Choi Shirley, a former member of the South Korean girl group f(x). While sighing for the death of a 25-year-old life, I can't help but think deeply about the girls from these idol girl groups, what kind of waves their lives are experiencing.
Compared with the cruelty and high pressure of the Korean entertainment industry, although the Japanese entertainment industry is not clean, at least every individual still has a way to live for himself. Former members of akb48, Yuko Oshima and Yosai Koshima, illustrate this point well.
Yesterday evening, Xiao Zhiyang cai uploaded a set of group photos on social accounts, all of which were photos with Yuko Oshima for a long time, with the text "I met Youko by chance, as a friend of course, I want to take a group photo." "If we remember correctly, the last time they appeared in the same frame was at the graduation concert of 2017. Today is the 31st birthday of Yuko Oshima, and this wave of memory killings also makes fans have mixed feelings.
The two were also born in 1988, and it can be seen from the group photo that although they are over thirty years old, the traces of the years have not remained on the two former teenage idols. Not only does it retain the sweetness of the past, but it also adds a bit of the temperament of a light and mature woman. The only regret is that judging from the actions of the two people in the photo, they are not as close as usual. In previous photo shoots, kisses and hugs were everywhere. But now Yuko Oshima and Yodo Koshima just touched their shoulders gently, which is also a place where many "Yosai Tui" feel like they are in a trance.
Of course, this is also no way to do it, in 2017, Yuko Oshima's acting career has developed in an orderly manner, and everyone expects her to create greater glory. In the second half of that year, she announced that she would be studying acting in the United States for a year. There are many rumors about this decision, the most widely circulated version is that Yuko Oshima offended Yoshimoto and was banned. Although this rumor has been confirmed so far, the truth is that at least she and her friends have been less in contact since then, until this year when she returned to Japan.
After Yuko Oshima returned to China this year, her popularity and resources were much worse than before, but she at least stayed in the mainstream entertainment industry. After xiaoju Yangcai "retired", she lived a leisurely and elegant life, she neither filmed nor sang, walked the catwalk when there was something, took photos and sent dynamics when there was nothing to do, and lived a very dashing life. The two are now completely active in different fields, and it is also very rare to meet suddenly.
AKB48's "Yuanshen VII" ushered in an era that belonged to the women's group that could not be copied, and in the five years from 2010 to 2014, the whirlwind of akb48 swept across Asia, and these seven members were indispensable. But now in 2019, these seven have long since graduated from akb48, and the youngest Watanabe Mayu is 25 years old. Their careers are not as smooth as fans imagined at the beginning, but everyone seems to have expected their own ceiling, no longer harsh on themselves for forcibly seeking breakthroughs, and it is enough to live their daily days with peace of mind.
One of the more representative is Atsuko Maeda, who married the actor Ryo Katsuji and gave birth to their first child last September. However, after giving birth, she suffered from postpartum anxiety, and over the past year she has been photographed by the media many times holding her child on the street and yelling at her husband Shengliliang, and the media has also speculated that their marriage may have a crisis. Therefore, Atsuko Maeda did not rush to come back after giving birth, but focused on physical and mental conditioning. Today is also a good day for her, NHK's new drama "Legendary Mother" is officially announced to be starring her, which is also her first time to play a mother, and taking over this drama must also leave a memorial for her own birth experience.
Mariko Shinoda and Minami Takahashi announced the happy news of their marriage this year, and their marriage partners are ordinary people outside the entertainment industry, and they basically can't see their traces on entertainment information this year. Presumably, the focus of marriage into family life is already a matter of ironclad.
Compared with the previous ones, Itano Yumi and Watanabe Areyu are obviously much more enterprising. Especially Itano Yumi, after graduation, the single has been released, the photo has been out, and the announcement is full. And she is also particularly eager to open up the Chinese market, and in the past few years, she has repeatedly wanted to hold meetings in Shanghai, but she was rejected because of force majeure, which did not hit her. This year, she starred in the Sino-Japanese co-production of "Xu Fu: The Answer to Finding Eternal Life" with Chinese actor Huang Lige, which tells the story of Xu Fu's East Crossing may have a chance to get her out of Japan.
It's been almost two years since Mayo Watanabe graduated from akb48, and in 2018 she also has two TV series and one musical. This year, he only played a role with no sense of existence in the morning drama "Blue Sky". Although she still tries hard, she just doesn't get any resources. What is even more depressing is that the firm has also closed her fan club, and Watanabe Has one less channel to communicate with fans.
In less than two years, from the top idol to the second line, other actresses are estimated to be depressed. But Mayu Watanabe is very indifferent, in the Akb48 era, her positioning is very vague, do not know whether to work drama, or take the road of music. Now she often shares the experience of musical theater with fans in tweets, it seems that she feels that musical theater is the most suitable for her, can let go of idol baggage and pressure, and concentrate on doing musical theater, this life plan is also quite exquisite.
All in all, the life of the "Yuanshen Seven" now seems to be not very smooth. But they understand that artists are just a stage in life. Walking through it is enough, why can't you let yourself go.
