If I'm not mistaken, an "idol" is something that's worshipped, correct? So...then does that mean the Japanese population is automatically "worship" them? What if they're not very good singers, or just end up being total failures? Doesn't that kinda...NOT apply to them then?
Hiroshi Aoyagi's 2005 book Islands of Eight Million Smiles makes much of this etymological connection – it's worth a read if you're looking for more about the idol industry (even if his view of otaku unreflectively and uncritically parallels the pre-2000 media narrative of creepy, deviant characters with unhealthy interests).

Hmmm.... Vikings or Greeks. i don't know who to choose. Anyway, i agree with you Mike. I also think it's just another way of making quick cash with the CD.
Just another Dragon Ball fangirl in the world.

DB & Tiger and Bunny are my main fandoms, along with many other animes.
