Otani Emiri Scandal Facts =LOVE Confirmed by Producer
Fans of the Japanese girl group =LOVE (Equal Love) were shocked by the Otani Emiri scandal. As reported by the Daily Shincho magazine, it was revealed that the girl born in Asakusa, Tokyo was involved in a case that was legally prohibited there.
Chronology: Emiri Otani, a 23-year-old woman caught on camera by journalists while being involved in the illicit business of “Papakatsu”. He is known to have joined since mid-2022 ago.
Papa-katsu is a very foreign thing for the people of the land of Sakura. Otani Emiri also opens membership, or membership with a classification divided into two types, namely Monthly and Annual.
However, the rate set by Otani Emiri does not include meeting fees, or if interested customers can also recruit him for a date at the place they want, the majority choose a hotel.
This was confirmed by the Asahi Shimbun who added that most of Otani Emiri’s customers were men aged 35 years and over. Almost all of them are even married and have children.
This case then became a scene, naturally. Considering being a member of a popular rookie idol group, =LOVE has been receiving unlimited public attention since the release of its first single.
The =LOVE group is led by Sashihara Rino as the main producer, a former member of the HKT48 vocal group who was also hit by one of the heaviest scandals in the history of the AKB48 Group and the world of idols in the country of the Rising Sun.
Two days later, Sasshi representing management and the =LOVE management team issued a confirmation that Otani Emiri was actually involved. They will discuss and determine what is best for both parties going forward.
A glimpse of the biodata and facts of Otani Emiri aka Minya, a woman who dreams of becoming a famous model, actress & singer, has participated in various idol group auditions. Including when participating in the Nogizaka46 Third Generation audition.
Otani Emiri, who failed to advance after stopping in the second round, then signed a professional contract as a gravure model under OhtaPro together with former Hinatazaka46 (Keyakizaka46) member Nagahama Neru.
Emiri Otani has appeared on the cover of the weekly gravure magazine several times, making her name increasingly popular. Hearing Rino Sashihara forming a group and opening auditions, he immediately went back to try his luck.
The result until now Otani Emiri is one of the popular members in the idol group =LOVE. He along with Satake Nonno, Oba Hana, Takamatsu Hitomi, Noguchi Iori, Yamamoto Anna, Saito Kiara, Takiwaki Shoko, Morohashi Sana, Sasaki Maika, Otoshima Risa, and Saito Nagisa debuted January 2022.
=LOVE’s success in attracting public attention made them ogled by the music label company Sacra Music, which then officially supervised these beautiful girls in a career in the J-Pop entertainment industry.
From the Otani Emiri scandal, we can conclude that the =LOVE member of a vocal group called Sakamichi Series & AKB48 Group’s competitors are also not always ‘clean’, that’s all. (he/ff)
