A mistake a few people make via online streaming is accidentally leaving the camera on after live streaming. If you don’t hit stop, chances are that the live stream hasn’t stopped.
Poor HKT48 Murakawa Bibiann (18) found things out the hard way while doing her SHOWROOM LIVE on September 4th and waving goodbye to her fans, she forgot to hit stop.
She then has a conversation with a family member saying, “All I have to do is this stream live and I make Y16,000 ($144.14 US).
The family member then says, “if you do it ten times a month, you will make as much as your monthly salary!”
Murakawa responds, “Really? That would be a bonus!”.
If that is true, that means that Murakawa makes Y160,000 ($1,441.38 US) per month.
Possibly more as fans can donating a tower, which costs Y10,000 and Murakawa was given a total of 20 towers. So, she made Y200,000 ($1801.72 US).
Unfortunately, the conversation went viral and her name was trending on Yahoo!

But many fans who saw/heard the discussions commented that idols don’t make much money, especially since the cost of living is expensive in Japan.
Of course, top tier idols make more money if they star on their own television variety show series, star in commercials, are featured in magazines and are kept busy.
But for HKT48 Murakawa Bibiann, from her appearance on “Produce48” and the fact that her name is becoming well known even more as of late, hopefully this means that maybe advertisers will take a chance.
