Tengal 6!

Tenga, the ever so popular adult “self-help” accessories dealer is sponsoring a new idol group in Japan, the “Tengal 6”. Alleged to be a “pure and innocent hip hop idol unit,” I am slightly disturbed, repulsed, and intrigued at the same time. Admittedly, this is a new feeling for me and I’ve seen a lot of crazy over the years.
On one end, I feel bad for these girls. Being an idol is hard work in Japan since there’s only a few hundred million of them (or so) and the only way to get noticed is to either go into AV like that one AKB48 girl or to be a part of some crazy marketing scheme like AKB48. Not to say that I dislike AKB48, but I just find it to be a horribly contrived marketing gimmick that somehow works for all the wrong reasons—well it works for all except that one girl that went into AV…
On the other end, this is a great opportunity for these girls to be noticed! For them to sing their hearts out while being sponsored by a “dolphin-polishing” company. And since Tenga is popular and obviously doing well, they’ll have tons of fans in an already established market. Just think, one day their followers will rage about them having more-than-platonic relations with someone of the male gender and understand just how creepy idol-otaku can get.
And I can’t help but be a little curious about the actual music…
