Idol Politely Asks Fans to Use Deodorant at Meet-and-Greets

A Japanese pop star recently approached a sensitive topic with her fans in a gentle manner.

For those who may not know, fanmeetings are special events where devotees get to interact with their favorite artists up close, often through handshake events.

Despite their efforts to make these events enjoyable, Japanese idols also prioritize their own well-being, including maintaining a clean environment.

Former SKE48 member Kaori Matsumura highlighted the issue of poor hygiene among some fans, which was brought to her attention by a female attendee.

According to Kaori, the fan complained about the unpleasant smell at the event venue, which made her experience less enjoyable.

Kaori took to social media to address the issue, expressing gratitude to her fans for attending the event while also discussing the problem at hand.

Rather than embarrassing those responsible for the odor, Kaori chose to empathize with them, acknowledging that body odor can be a common issue.

She confessed that even she and her fellow SKE48 members have to be mindful of their personal hygiene.

To provide a practical solution, Kaori shared photos of two deodorant products, suggesting that fans purchase them to stay fresh.

She encouraged her fans to take responsibility for their personal hygiene, stating that it's easy to find effective deodorants at drugstores.

Kaori later posted about another deodorant option, a roll-on type that would be allowed in closed venues, as spray-on cans might be prohibited.

Her fans appreciated her honesty and chimed in, sharing their own experiences with bad hygiene at fanmeetings and handshake events.

The feedback from netizens was overwhelmingly positive, with many thanking Kaori for tackling the issue in a kind and considerate way.

Kaori's approach to the problem not only helped raise awareness but also encouraged her fans to prioritize their personal hygiene.

Today, Kaori Matsumura is a mother of two, and her thoughtful attitude towards her fans has left a lasting impression.
