Nacchi killed a national treasure tortoise?!

[Jabronisaur]

I find it more reprehensible that there were no conservationists out insuring the welfare of these turtles. I know here in the states, we have similarly endagered turtles and there are always conservationists and officers from the fish and wildlife commision out there keeping them protected. This is more a crime of negligence on the part of the Japanese Dpt. of the interior.

H!P should use this for some "turtle saving" campaign, and sell some pb's and nacchi's singles at the same time. But because it's UFA, The best they can do is just ban Nacchi

[Diva711]

when i saw this news.. i was shocked..and thought is it just a joke..but it's true..and feel sad to know that it is Nacchi.  i think she wasn't aware abt it..so hope nothing happen to her  but it is really tough being an idol .. cos they and all their staff have to be very careful everytime they are doing something cos they will never know what will happen..

[daigong]

I hope this issue doesn't give her the stress =O  

Rei >>>>>>>>>> Dane Cook :lmao:

Nacchi just loves too much!

[DillDoe]

maybe this'll take the heat off kago and she'll come back into H!P

[ichiball]

I bet it was probably a producer's idea and she just went along with it.  Most people (myself included) would have no idea what kinds turtles belong in particular habitats.  I can't really fault Nacchi for it.  Strangest thing I've heard in a while.  Hope there's no suspension.

[reina's eyes]

To echo what some have pointed out already, now that Ive watched it myself, all you see is her talking to the turtle by the curb of the road (not touching it) and then a short shot of a turtle (same or different one???) on the dry sand of a beach where she isnt even in the shot.

The only frame (±1) where they are even in the shot together:



The pink on the left is abe, the dark gray at the bottom is the turtle.

So is there an extended version showing her drowning the turtle, or outtakes someone got a hold of?

We also saw her standing over a caterpillar. And bathing in and wearing flowers. Is there evidence to suggest she stepped on or ate the caterpillar or that the flowers grew in a protected habitat?

[Sayange]

Oh no, she must be imprisoned! She's a public menace!

[yokotapioka]

... i don't want to see nacci near a zoo XDDD

[Jsmurf]

i remember nacchi eating turtle on an episode of h!m




maybe she's developed a taste for turtle

[shirenuファクトリー]

LOL!!!

All I can say is, DAMN her lips look soft there....

[maliciel]

Mountain out of a molehill, imo. Which reminds me, I still havent seen the making of o_O

[shirenuファクトリー]

Me neither, Mal Maybe I'll be able to wait until I get my copy o/ Luckily (?) guys talked about it less than I expected, so I didn't get a sudden urge to watch it.

...Or maybe it's just because I've avoided the ecru thread so that I don't see too many previews >_>

Call me cruel, but I think she should come out and say she is ready to apologize if it turns out that it was an endangered species.  

At issue isn't the cruelty of killing or drowning an animal - at issue is the fact that an *endangered* animal was killed or displaced.  They already live in a precarious environment, and the industrial development of Japan hasn't helped one bit.  Nacchi should set a good example and come out with some spots saying how one should never displace fauna/flora from protected areas or use products of endangered species - whales included!  OK, big wish....

One day, with a lot of hard work, endangered turtoises will once again thrive and the earth will be green with life.  But its hard work!  Remember the refrain from EcoMoni's Acchii Chikyu wo Samasunda:

We gotta protect it
It's not a job for someone else
The earth shouts out even now
The earth cries out even now

There are times we feel lost
Because we just don't realize certain things
We gotta start being more conscious
Let's progress and take the first step

[JTRIX]

ok come on people, seriously we don't know what had happened to the turtle, and there should be nothing to accuse Nacchi because she didn't even do anything to the turtle in the DVD!

so what are they gonna do when someone starts featuring the same turtle in all the Japanese idols DVD, and just 1 shot of the turtle? Are the people in Japan just gonna accuse all the idols?

[Asmodai]

That's an awesome idea.
 
 
F for logic.
 
A+ for humour.l

[shirenuファクトリー]

The fact that we haven't heard more news about this means it's already blown over. So relax, chill, and taste my new turtle-flavoured juice!! Only $0.99 per glass.

[tenkei]

as long as nacchi doesnt go and kill eri, everything is cool~

[ASSEMblerEX]

I would love to see nacchi "eat" kamei

Here is the story on the English language Mainichi site:

Especially good is what Nacchi's "pal" says her response is...although what sort of "pal" would squeal to the media she is supposed to hate is up for debate.
