Even if they are not "his" property, we try very hard to be respectful to the Utaites and abide to their rules and wishes regardless of how others might think about it.

Here in this wikia we especially hold respectfulness in extremely high regard. I know who you are specifically talking about, but saying someone "shouldn't be an Utaite" just because they "do interviews involving such activity" isn't really justified. Many other utaites like vipTenchou, Kogeinu, Senka, and many many more who do activities such as the Utaite you are referring to, meet with others without a mask, hold concerts, have namahousous, all ask for several of the things the Utaite you are referring to asks. One of which is very important to them, to not take photographs of them and/or publish their photos around.

Utaites are not obligated to share their information, but do so in order to please their fans. In fact one very famous Japanese group called Greeeen (you can read about them here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greeeen) have never shown their faces, yet they are extremely famous. I'm sure they have done even more things like interviews then the Utaite you are referring to has. Does that mean they shouldn't be singers because they don't want their faces to be shown? of course not! They have every right to sing and control whether they want their faces to be seen or not.
