You know I constantly forget Shoko-tan is even an idol, crazy to think she’s been doing this stuff for years I think I was like a fifteen-year-old kid when I heard of her on Pokemon Sunday. Isn’t she getting a little old to be an idol and I could have sworn Japanese idol culture was kind of iffy about this kind of stuff? I honestly keep forgetting what exactly is she famous for or relevant to other than getting slapped with stunt-roles via certain anime or anime movies like the two kids from the the Victini movies, the one girl from the Zoroark movie, etc.

No, no, the Ketchup ending theme is the best one. I don't remember who sang that one.

Here's the definition of idol from Wikipedia:

"An idol (アイドル aidoru, a Japanese rendering of the English word "idol") is a type of entertainer manufactured and marketed for image, attractiveness, and personality in Japanese pop culture. Idols are primarily singers, but they are also trained in other roles, such as acting, dancing, and modeling. Idols are commercialized through merchandise and endorsements by talent agencies with the intent of maintaining a strong emotional connection with a passionate consumer fan base."

I'm trying to think of a good example of the difference for Western culture, or at least American, but I can't think of anything right now.

English articles about male idols that are part of groups as opposed to working solo almost always refer to them as "boy band members" rather than "idols", so there's your English-language equivalent right there.
