    Members of idol groups like AKB48 are expected to "graduate" out of the group when they get too old to be an idol. Early to mid twenties, though there are cases of idols lasting past that age.

    I'm preeeetty sure they're actually using yuri as a selling point. I remember watching a Q&A video and one of the younger girls was asked if she kissed someone yet. She got really fidgety and just nodded. "Another member?" - "... ... Yes." - Cheering from the crowd.
    Lesbianism is seen as perfectly acceptable for teens, as long as they "grow out of it".

    I know it's not cool to judge other cultures for being sexually broken given how sexually broken American culture is, but man.
