This is just really nutty. I know it seems like all my blurbs come from Japan Times, but I just can't get through one full paper without being shocked and or appaled at one thing or another. Check this interview out: (taken without permission from Japan Times)


Is it really true that your contracts with Mattel, Saban Entertainment and your promoters require you to remain looking 24 years old like the dolls made after you, and restrict who you can marry?

Contracts with each company are as thick as 2 meters.

With Mattel it's mostly about the way I look, like hairstyle, hair color, weight, figure and skin color. That with Saban has a lot to do with name usage.

Manager: They are both lifetime contracts, so she has to maintain her looks for life. She can only marry a U.S. citizen according to the contract, as U.S. children believe from the cartoon that she is an American superstar.

What happens if you violate the contract?

There will be a penalty.

Like in the billions?

Manager: More than that.
