I guess it just shows that they're selling an image rather than music.

Well, yeah, as sad as it is, it's exactly that. It's an image and the company will do
everything they do to protect that image. That's why, for example, Morning Musume members have been fired in the past for smoking.
It's pathetic and backwards when you think about it, but from the point of view of an idol company it does make some sense. >_<
