Yep that's pretty much exactly what it is. I just don't see how it is healthy at all, especially for young girls. Having to only be cute and positive all the time(primarily for the enjoyment of middle aged men) and having to ignore what your less happy emotions are I think would take an emotional and psychological toll on anybody.
And yes, I'm really proud of Ayumi too. I also think that is where much of her inspiration for songs like Real Me and My Names Women comes from - her experiences working as an idol when she was younger.
