CATDOLL: Is 1,000 yen too much or too little? How my attitude towards money changed after I became an otaku

Do you remember the difference between otaku and non-otaku in their perception of money and how you changed before and after becoming an otaku? Netizens were divided into two camps on this topic: those who shared the same sentiment said that they usually lived frugally, but were willing to spend as much money as possible once they were interested. On the other hand, some people still found it hard to understand the idea of ​​spending a lot of money to take photos with idols and yet still thought it was a good deal.

The work of artist Perorin sparked both positive and negative discussions

The change in the concept of money before and after becoming an idol otaku

Before entering the world of otaku, it was hard to accept the idea of ​​spending 1,000 yen just to take a photo with an idol, or buying several copies of the same CD.

After becoming an otaku, I feel that these are just a piece of cake

"One thousand yen for a photo? What a bargain!" I wouldn't feel bad even if I bought 50 copies of the same CD.

It is often heard on the Internet that fans spend a lot of money to buy dozens or even hundreds of CDs in order to get the bonuses and handshake tickets that come with the CDs. As long as they can get the coveted bonus, everything is worth it. From the perspective of others, they may think that the person is spending money like water, but chasing dreams is also a kind of fun in life. Just think clearly at the moment and make sure you won't regret it after spending the money.

It's not just idol otaku, the same applies to tuition money

Some players who are used to spending money may not be willing to buy a 8,000 yen BD, but they are willing to spend tens of thousands to draw an SSR.

The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls player Chaomi said: It’s great that you can get 10 free draws for just 3,000 yen!

In the work of manga artist Tsuzui, it is mentioned that the awakening of oneself as an otaku is very close to the emergence of self-awareness. Because when filling in the interest column of the resume, I only remember that I became interested in BL in the upper grades of elementary school. I can't recall anything before that.

Friends around me also only remember that every day was fulfilling after becoming an otaku. Does becoming an otaku make one lose their original memories?

Do you remember yourself before you became an otaku?
