How does Hibiki afford being an idol?

(1/4) > >>

Bro:
Just a small question that I've been mulling over.
Hibiki is only 15 in her first appearance in iDOLM@STERS SP, working as a no-name idol. Yet, she affords living alone, feeding 10 animals, (And likely has a large space to house them all) not to mention the trip from Okinawa. She's never been alluded to having a rich family either. How do you think she affords it?

I always assumed it was a hefty sign-on bonus... though, I'd love to see someone argue that Hibiki is just reeeally reeeallllyy good with money to afford it all. (Especially feeding 10 animals, including an alligator!)

How do you think Hibiki affords being an idol, at the beginning?

Accoun:
I'd say the rent is being paid by the agency (you know, like record labels *sometimes* pay for hotels when artist tours, so they can sleep in beds, not in bus/van) or they had other sort of agreement.
Maybe she doesn't spend much for herself, most of the money she gets, goes for animal food.

In the anime they showed her place for a short while, right? I didn't really look like it was very huge or anything (but then again, I don't know what japanese standards are)...

Yeah, that sounds likely but... could Kuroi be that generous? Or would 765 Pro have the budget? I mean, it doesn't sound like Hibiki is a very highly valued idol to be worth the extra trouble. Then again, 765 Pro did have that underwhelming application response... and Miki

Maybe it came down to desperation, poor Hibiki.

That's true though, her place (Apartment? House? I believe it was an apartment in SP, in a translated video I saw Hibiki was doing an episode about her life at home.) certainly did seem quaint. Still...

Any other opinions to ring in?

Idol_Hearts:
She probably has some family that gives her money to live on. And since she's an idol, she probably gets payed for working.

I think this too.

I also think she runs a secret circus act in her spare time. Well just a theory.
