reina_t_1111: Whoops, looks like I walked into a discussion between the future newlyweds.
minimoniotaku: Oh, good, my two favorite women finally get to meet… so to speak.
tara_hearts_cj: And I thought all along that you were making these chats up for the worship blog.
minimoniotaku: Aw, shit, looks like the secret’s out.
reina_t_1111: LOL
tara_hearts_cj: Well, since I have both of you in the same cyberplace, maybe you can both answer a question for me.
minimoniotaku: This oughta be good.
reina_t_1111: OK, Tara, ask away.
tara_hearts_cj: Now, I don’t pay attention to any of this J-pop stuff, but I got to wondering…
tara_hearts_cj: Have you noticed how nuts most of Morning Musume’s and Hello! Project’s fans are?
reina_t_1111: Nuts?
minimoniotaku: Crazy.
reina_t_1111: Looney tunes? Squirrel bait?
minimoniotaku: Yep.
reina_t_1111: OK, being a member of Morning Musume myself, you’ll have to explain this to me, Tara.
tara_hearts_cj: I’m under the impression that some MoMusu/H!P fans treat their favorite idol like they’re some sort of cult leader or deity or something.
reina_t_1111: I’ve been in the band for five years and was a fan of the band for a few years beforehand, and I’ve never seen such a thing. Your thoughts, Ceej?
minimoniotaku: Oh, Wonky Lordess, please have mercy upon my fiancee, she knows not of what she speaks.
