The next day, the Hirarano serial bombing case inevitably dominated the front pages of newspapers, with headlines more sensational than the next. The media was overzealous, fearing nothing more than calm, but this time the police escaped severe criticism. Reporters and commentators turned their ire on the Goodnight Meow Meow C Group instead.
Fanatical, delusional fans daring to impersonate criminals fully demonstrated what it means to have fans that outweigh the haters. The media began to dig up their past with gusto, from being secretly photographed to smoking, internal struggles for the lead position, seducing agents to get ahead, to deceiving fans to spend their medical funds on boosting their popularity rankings. There was an onslaught of verbal and written condemnation, vowing to chase these little trashes back to the back alleys they came from.
This probably was beyond the expectations of the police, perhaps a silver lining in an unfortunate situation.
