[ sounds more like someone is too poor to whale tbqh, akutagawa makes a killing on idol games but that's probably a given. he's also into that one dumb game where these high school idol kids try to compete to be the best, and are still mad at each other over middle school drama?? the one where you collect cards who dance and clap and fall asleep?? whatever it's called!!!! ]

Idols are more approachable and accessible than models and the like-- never mind that idols can often model anyway. The reach of idols is limitless.

[ with a scary this-is-not-a-game-being-an-idol-is-not-meant-to-be-fun expression, akutagawa inspects some kale he plans to use for a salad he has yet to find a recipe for. his life is low-key out of control. ]

A mere model cannot understand an idol's mission, and why hundreds of thousands of people coming together, even for the sake of getting horny on main, is a testament to their success.

[ akutagawaPs are notorious for loving his cold, harsh personality. maybe it's some gap moe bullshit with his cute voice? a mean violent asshole idol with a cute and sweet voice would, unsurprisingly, attract a bunch of crazy masochist fucks, so in a way it probably isn't even surprising.

--goddamnit he's not supposed to think about this!!!! SHIT ]
