Their pay was surprisingly low. Their public and "private" lives were carefully orchestrated—they always appeared perfect in all situations and seemed to enjoy a lavish lifestyle that most Japanese could only dream about.

They were often overworked and even if their songs sold well most of the money went to the musicians and writers.
