    GET OUT. She was a teenager most of them date people for christs sake. 'Promiscuous' is going way too far. That's so rude and frankly, none of your business what she did before she was famous. I bet if this was a male they wouldn't be saying stuff like this. It's so, so utterly sexist, but unfortunately that's Japan. They still have a lot of stereotypes against women and saying shit like this just reinforces it.

    But she was already an idol and still dated the first guy. And if this is true, she was dating the guy in 2009, well after she became a full member. It's true that most teenagers date people and have sex. But she was an idol first and foremost, which means she broke the rules with her promiscuity. That you don't agree with 恋愛禁止 is another matter.

    Ugh you're using the word promiscuity in the wrong context though. It's really annoying. She may have dated people but that doesn't mean she was promiscuous. That is basically calling someone a slut in just a really nice way. That's flippin rude, and no I've never agreed with the dating rule, and I'm a huge Sasshi fan so people being mean to her annoys me.

    If Sasshi had been male under the same situation (idol, no dating rule, etc) I would have said the same. Sasshi decided that her hormones were more important than being an idol, apparently not only once but twice (or who knows how many times). I like Sasshi quite a lot, but if she can't keep her relationships hidden, she isn't idol material.

    Maimai admitted she dated boys as a member, and I personally think there is nothing wrong, we are all humans. But if you are caught, you must be responsible for your acts, especially if part of what you are selling is a girlfriend illusion.

    Bunshun is just reporting what they discovered, but they didn't pay the boys to sleep with her, or didn't encourage Sasshi to date boys.

    I think ET920 is just saying that's not all Bunshin's fault if Sasshi gets in trouble if she has actually lived liked that then it's her own fault that rumors of like that spread out.

    oh god, not another scandal, this should be good :D

    But it's funny how Sashi's popularity tends to increase from such things like scandals and exposures, I think she's gonna get even more popular from this now [shock] :XD:

    yeah.. more scandal, and she will be number one in the next sousenkyo :p

    Well....
    I don’t think scandals will do any good for her popularity and reputation.
    She’s an idol after all; pure & clean image is a must.

    I do not know much about these stories and do not care either. I hardly know Sasshi more than the name and have trouble recognizing her in a video. But I wonder a little, does magazines and crappy speakers have nothing more important to deal with? When it is all about events far back in time it becomes even more remarkable. Have they hired archaeologists at the newspaper?

    ^It's a gossip magazine, all they post is gossip about celebrities and if their stuff is accurate they get to keep living as a magazine so it shouldn't be surprising that they wrote about Sasshi? Afterall their last article about her was true, i think. Or did the Sasshi dating rumor come from online and than got posted on an article in bunshin?

    Just a hunch, maybe Sashi hired some ghostwriter to spice up her career. :D

    Publicity good or bad is still publicity. She gets hired in talk shows to deny the issue, isn't that a lucrative scheme.

    Idm if Sasshi decides to have 10 or 20 boyfriends on the side, doesn't impact my enjoyment of her antics any. But I also wouldn't believe anything a tabloid says, that's just asking to have the wool pulled over your eyes. They get paid to stretch facts and make wild accusations with no real proof to back it up. The only way they have any credibility at all is the few stories they run a year that do have real evidence to back it up.

    It's true that "no publicity is bad publicity", AKB thrives on sensationalism. But AKB also thrives on a clean image and fans who expect girls to hold up their end of the bargain: fans spend money on a fantasy, girls fulfill that fantasy by not having boyfriends or doing anything shady. The more Sasshi is talked about as someone who doesn't hold up her end of that bargain, the more fans she has the potential to lose, which is also a loss for AKS. So I really have to wonder whether this kind of publicity is "bad".

    ^ As far as I can get, not many of her fans care whether she is clean or not, as we can see from the 1st scandal, lol. Most of the people despising her comes from those who are not her fans. :^^;:

    With Sashi's character she can weather any scandal, besides talk shows likes scandals and her emcee skills really stands out so even if she's with this scandals her career will not founder because the public needs someone to talk about whether its how good or bad a person is its simply entertainment to them. [hehe]

    To idol fans this seems a really bad thing but for those outsider of the fandom this just seems to be a normal thing that happens to artist in the entertainment industry. And wotas are not the only one who keeps an eye on Sashi as she has fans that aren't really into idols but are drawn to her outside of AKB/HKT work.

    This is why Sasshi can weather scandals: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xund81 ... yyyyyy_fun

    The interview started with a discussion about Oriental people being more unfaithful than Occidental ones because Occidentals think there is a God that watches them from above, so try to behave better. And that women are able to know if men are lawful by just seeing into their eyes, so Sasshi goes "Women are frightening", to which Matsuko Deluxe and Sanma mentions the one who did frightening things was her, which is why she ended in Hakata. And then comes the retaliation: Sanma asks her which type of men she likes, and she says "I don't care about looks. I like people who can keep a secret".

    It's impossible to think proper idols would make fun of themselves this way (except the variety kind including Yuko).

    Why poor Sasshi? I would think it should be poor fans, with wandering emperor sasshi.

    There will be more. Seems sasshi wasn't particularly careful and maybe more of these 'trysts' out there.

    But they guy got her pants off and did nothing.....the fool! (or inexperienced).

    But does seem sasshi is thinking she is untouchable?

    And of course fans will say Shukan Bunshun is just making stuff up, it cant be true, even if they provided graphic video evidence. It has to be Shukan Bunshun, not sasshi.

    But she need not fear so long as she is a money maker they will keep her on. And so long as she isn't hurting the franchise, not matter what the find out about her, they will keep her on. AKB is BIG business and this girl one their money makers. Quite simple.

    But meanwhile other girls get their lives/careers destroyed for the same thing. But no worries there hey.

    Too harsh, mate :) . We do not know how many bf she has. As many ppl have said, there are no single evidences in that article that anyone can write it. I know that, as she got caught before, more ppl will trust these articles with fewer evidences but, for me, no evidences means untrustworthy regardless of the past. I am fan of neither Sasshi nor her hetare character but I would not think bad about someone without solid evidences.

    I agree that it is a bit unfair to other girls but harsher punishment on Sasshi does not benefit anyone, including these other girls.

    Finally! Somebody said it. You're exactly right. Anti-Sasshi fans are still going on about how she deserves a bigger punishment by saying how "this" girl had a scandal but she was kicked out entirely and then "that" girl was completely deprived of a career. But you're exactly right, even if Sasshi gets a bigger punishment it's not going to benefit any of the other girls, and of course not her. It won't make girl's who have had more severe punishments in the past suddenly come back up out of nowhere, yet people talk like it will. The only thing it will do is satisfy all the haters, which of course affects AKB itself in no way. I wish people would understand this already :hmm:

    Aha, it is calculated that! :D But honestly, surely there is a difference between scandals in the present time and others three years old when Sasshi was 16.
