Japanese idol: Maya Koizumi

Now Koizumi and her parents are suing the school. They argue that the expulsion was beyond the school’s discretionary limits, and that, therefore, it should be declared invalid. Though there is no specific regulation regarding modeling, there is a rule that forbids “entertainment activities”. It’s not apparent whether there has been a conclusion to the lawsuit.

For now it seems Maya is still modeling as an idol. Apparently, in promotion of an idol’s latest book or DVD, they will invite all kinds of photographers who draw numbers and then get 60 seconds to take pictures of the girl in her bikini. I still don’t fully understand the art of being an idol.
