Assorted Questions/Inquiries About H!P, etc

Postby boinsie » Fri Sep 16, 2011 12:26 pm

I don't think we have an appropriate place for things like this, so...

Does H!P still sell those grab bags online? I tried searching a bit at the H!P Japan online store, but failed to find anything.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found (at least some of) them! :heart:

I it was once stated that Junjun had such a lack of popularity in Musume that she didn't even have enough money to send back to her folks in china :/ . Does anyone know the payroll of these girls? I think they get payed according to age? Not too sure...

They get a base salary according to seniority plus a percentage of their merchandise sales. Junjun and Linlin each made around 35,000 USD per year, at least for their first couple years. They probably also got food and board on top of that, because they were guest workers bound to UFA, but no one really knows for sure.

Fukubukuro (福袋), lucky/mystery/grab bags. A sealed bag filled with assorted merchandise that otherwise hasn't sold well, priced at a high discount.

These are all 5000yen worth of goods for 3000yen.

To get a better idea of the sorts of things you might get, here's the one I bought at the Elder Club grad concert:

And here's what was inside:
