see, now it's cool that you/ H!O found this stuff out
but when i went to read that thread...
GEEEEZZZZ
I mean, privacy! Srsly people. Why do you need to know the town where she lived, the photobook of her dancing career, her parent's names, their numbers... What the hell? That's just not right.

I think that people should not go snooping like that, because that is deep stalker territory and it just is not right at ALL.

[Mixi]

I think an idol should expect to be looked up on a search engine, but looking up their parents' addresses and posting them on a public forum is going too far.

[Beatrix]

Meh. I find under 18 photo books more creepy then someone curious about where she USED to live

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

oh, i didn't say that...
Obviously they will be looked up. (Like, Riho & her dancing school, that's all public knowledge)
So really, the dancing school and stuff i guess is alright... but everything else is too far.
Yes, looked up, but no, not stalked heavily to the point where they know every tidbit about her ever because it happens to be there, including her personal life which they have nothing to do with.
...Especially since many (or most, even...) H!P girls don't share any personal info... (no sibling names, no pictures, parents, etc...)

[Beatrix]

Personal, family, even educational information should remain private yes and Japan is good to their idols for the most part. But people are going to be excited about this girl and her past.

[otaku_blue]

wow the stalking thing...

its all speculation, but its easy access information so its not exactly wrong. unless you're dumb enough to actually contact and call the supposed number, you're weird.
but if its true, she comes from a really well off family.

[Celedam]

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

[Mixi]

I do believe some fans may be "weird" enough to try to contact her parents to get in touch with her knowing that they can speak English. That's what scares me the most in this story. Her status as a sort-of-American-but-not-quite member makes her more reachable to us. We don't know if those phone numbers and addresses still belong to her family, but I hope not.

I think I will edit my post.
