Japan Pop Idol's Head-Shave Apology Stirs Debate

A member of a hugely popular Japanese girl band has shaved her head and issued a tearful videotaped apology for violating the megagroup's no-dating rule, sparking a national debate over whether the band's management exerts too much control over its performers.

thats really crazy - how those "band" or casted groups are working and the fan dynamics which they are dependent on is really quite strange to me, as I'm not japanese - but I think this movie captured those feelings perfectly - its one of my all time favorites
