Owwwhhh! The middle age metrosexual talentless men! I'd love to take a visit on your vanity shop.

Of course! I knew I was missing something when I thought it was a way to scrounge more money out of them. It was silly of me to think a shop might be a commercial venture and not just a way of expressing their sincere gratitude by selling things to their fans.

more like wanting the fans to say thank you by shelling out money for things they don`t need.

I put my hand up to manage the AKB48 shop! Its popularity would be astounding compared to these aging pop queens!

Indeed, AKB should have a shop next door and we will see who are the real queens of pop.
