Idol, Burning

Product Information

Rin Usami gibt uns eine Person, die orientierungslos durchs Leben stolpert, die nur vor Problemen mit der Außenwelt steht, ohne nennenswertes Anpassungsverhalten, die in einer Opferrolle des Systems vor sich hin siecht, die sich in einer Parallelwelt einrichtet. Ha sido un descubrimiento muy interesante, a pesar de que pueda parecer un libro muy sencillo e infantil. While I liked elements of Akari’s characterisation, the story didn’t say anything about the nature of stan culture that wasn’t articulated more effectively in Everything I Need I Get From You, a non-fiction book about fandom I read recently.

The whole concept that this novella is supposedly predicated on—a girl coming to terms with her favorite pop idol maybe having assaulted a woman—isn't ever really the focus, and I understand why this detail is included in the book's summary, but the reality of the way this narrative transpires is much more mundane than fraught. The author also doesn’t really go into cancel culture or death of the author (or in this case singer). Usami’s narrative probes the complexity and contradictions of fandom and otaku culture: the fantasy of intimacy; the potential for evading social pressures and an emphasis on academic achievement and conformity; the participatory culture in which fans are simultaneously producers and consumers. Der große Unterschied: Murata zeichnet einen besonderen Menschen, der sich ein komplexes System in der realen Welt geschaffen hat, in dem sie gut überlebt. so với hai cuốn sách đạt giải Akutagawa gần đây mình đã đọc, 偶像失格 cũng chẳng lạ lùng mấy, không khién mình đồng cảm được nhièu.Zabrakło mi więc personalnego połączenia z tematem, który Rin Usami prezentuje, jednak wiedziałam na tyle dużo, by oczekiwać, że książka powie mi coś nowego.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Akari immediately begins sifting through everything she can find about the scandal, and shares every detail to her blog—including Masaki's denials and pleas to his fans—drawing numerous readers eager for her updates.
