Is being a gravure idol not being a viable option anymore? I see that girls from the old guard (Jun, Marina, Saki, Suzuki Fumina, etc.) are still there even after 10/15 or sometimes even 20 years. Yet newer girls barely last 3-4 years on average. Even Hina Kikuchi who looked like the defining idol of this era is pretty much out of the game already. Is it because Fantia, Candfans and the like have removed the intermediaries, or because gravure is seen as a lowly form of entertainment even worse than before? Or it's just one of those cyclical things?
