21.   With new appearances of underground and local idols, the idol industry is attracting many young people whose dream of becoming a popular idol is no longer so impossible. The growing industry, however, has many problems. Author and idol authority Nakamori Akio talks about those problems.
  “First of all, people don’t really understand what an idol is or does. I define an idol as a job in which you work to get people to like you.” Nakamori warns those who want to become idols to be careful in choosing an agent and points out the importance of the contract. “The problem now is that there are too many idols. The idol group AKB48 alone has several hundred members. And while there is no accurate count, if you include local idols and so-called underground idols, the number is probably over 10,000. Problems are increasing in direct proportion to the numbers and the increase in nonprofessional operations.”
  Nakamori suggests that to help sustain the industry, schools should allow “idol clubs” as part of their extracurricular activities as one way to ensure adult supervision and responsible management. “Extracurricular clubs in schools are managed by teachers. A school also provides a safe environment that would allow for a certain degree of self-management by the students. Schools already have drama clubs and dance clubs. I think the reason schools don’t yet have idol clubs is the general idea that being an idol is somehow a ‘lightweight’ profession. But idols do many things. Some dance and sing; others compose music or design costumes. Some even act as producers. I don’t see why these activities couldn’t be combined into a school idol club.”
  Another factor that has hindered the formation of idol clubs at schools is the conservative nature of the industry. “That’s because an idol is viewed as a role model,” says Nakamori. “The tendency is to imitate and copy, which reduces the creative aspects of the profession. The current idol image is no different from what we had back in the 1970s with Pink Lady or the Candies. AKB48, with its large numbers, is based on a system developed long ago by the Takarazuka revue(寶塚歌劇團). As staged entertainment, I don’t see much development since the 1970s.”
