I am sorry I will never understand people who get drunk cuz they're miserable. There is really no good excuse imo. Would you really like a CM featuring someone who seems to be having a drinking problem?
Ayu at least seems to be careful about what and where she is doing stuff  |
I agree with you, that I also don't like the behavior. But I also think that at least in this case, it seems to be a major over reaction. The thing is, in Japan its really part of the culture to drink - no matter what your profession is. People don't necessarily drink out of unhappiness there, but rather out of social obligation. If they are going to get this up in arms about drunken behavior, then they shouldn't create a culture where going out to drink (and usually drink heavily) after work is the norm and acceptable behavior - its just way to hypocritical to me. I can't count the number of drunk salarymen I've had clumsily hit on me in broken english, lol. Why couldn't it have been a drunk SMAP member instead?
