Horikoshi High School (a Real-life High School For Idols)

[Guest mihsayam]

See list of students. You think this only exist in fanfics?

Basically, in Japan where idols are launched at young ages, many still prefer to get a normal high school education. But these idols are constantly hounded by work such as tv, movies, photoshoots and events which may greaten their difficulty to graduate. So here is Horikoshi High School located somewhere in Tokyo's Nakano district where the students are divided into two courses: the regular and the art students. (Vampire Knight would be a good comparison) The regular students attend the high school as normally as everyone does but the art students get a more flexible time with regards to studies which works wel since most of them are loaded with work, though it's not illegal for them to mix. To make it short, the art students just have greater freedom when it comes to absence from classes but if I'm not mistaken, academic workload is almost the same.

A lot of popular young stars studied/are studying in this school. No wonder why some of them seem friends despite their different talent agencies, they were probably classmates in school. Here is a brief list on who are the past and present students of Horikoshi. This isn't complete, but just to give everyone an idea.

A leaked picture of a Horikoshi field trip. Two Johnny boys, Ayukawa Taiyou (the tall kid. He is also the president for the graduating class of 2009) and Hey!Say! JUMP's Yaotome Hikaru. To anyone who has watched that acclaimed drama LIFE, see that girl with the DSLR hanging around her neck? Fukuda Saki looking pretty. I'm not very aware if there are more idols in this photo but they are the ones I immediately recognized.
