jellyyyyyyyyy

fan leaders?

idols usual to have fan leaders.. these fan leaders will enjoy perks like good seats and tickets to tv programs or events

can i be one? lol..for malaysian fan..lmao

#wishfulthinking

yeah yeah they are fan leader who arrange the Kame meeting and receiving letter after DBS

not that they arrange, I think so LOL but they kinda manage fans

my friend went to DBS last night too. She got to meet him again *--*

she said they have to wait till late. and those leaders said that if it passed 10pm, Kame wouldn't come out.

i hope he will appear on 21st

please appear on 21st

But then he (or his manager) texted them and tell them to wait till 10:30pm xD

preaseeeeeeee

no, he came, guys!

maybe he needed to take shower, eat something and rest for a lil while~

he looked way much better XDD

rin..can u ask your friend to gv lin her contact? like..the detailing on where to wait ..when and such

eh? Lin knows, right?

huhu..i really want my card to get to kame..lol

i dont mind spoilers .. it will help me understand the flow of the show

christy: yes I got the same question qhen my friend mentioned fan leader haha

oh true. I will translate the report then might take a while bc it's longggg

take your time rin.. i'll read it later, gotta rush off now to collect my travel insurance before the office closes.

waaah I want to be a fan leader too xD

didn't know about this, tbh. i thought it was more a kpop thing, not japan/JE.

how do they choose a fan leader? I bet they have family or friends that work at JE.

And fan leaders know their schedules. envy

When I went to JP early this year, I came across some of Junno's fan leaders. They did know their unannounced schedule.

wish int fans cand have an official fanclub ;_;

I guess fan leaders are those who have been there since they were still nothing.

They're those who tell other fans what you can do and what's not.

ktkk_heart: I'd like to know how this works too

After listening to stories, I became lost interested in waiting for Kame after Dream Boys last year.

yuijbj: why?

I can't tolerate being bossy around by other fans. LOL

this fanleaders thing interest me though. I'd want to know how much is JE-directed and how much is just fanmade. this would give a diff

ฺBefore I went to DBS last year, my friend (who's worked in JP for 7 years) waited to give Nakamaru a letter

reading to how fandom behaves and the reactions by idols too. (yes, fandom studies I did some months ago had some impact on me )

for 3 days in a row asking him to acknowledge foreign fans who will be coming in the MC. And he really did it! ^^

yuijbj: LOL! He must have gone seeing the same girl 3 days in a row xD

What she told me is similar to what happen in Thailand (and with Thai stars). Fandom business is sick.

Unfortunately, she's come back to Thailand since May. Or I'd introduce her to you. She knows 'people who know KT schedules.

aka fan leaders.

she knows them? why so many people have all these connections. I can't build such connections in no area, not only fandom!

well I'd have appreciated just knowing her this time in Jp i'll be alone so having some fandom friends would be relaxing

When you go to almost all possible KT events, you make friends with fan leaders!!

I got to think that I scary Japanese fangirls away I guess I look too much western for them.

Oooh~ interesting~

I heard about similar things with Takarazuka, but these fan leaders are actually in charge of the actresses' clubs,

so it's slightly different.

Can you talk to her without refering to me ? She's VERY conservative about KT info. >.<~~ Maybe she told me all these because I wasn't

a Japan resident, so I couldn't get her in trouble.

mrchoco_p

wow! they had a fanleaders too so jelly w/ them

ok guyz we need to do some research on these fan leaders

(mrchoco_p dislikes kame, btw).

uhm I wrote down the name but if she dislikes kame then I think she won't even talk to me

kame hater? pfft.. staying awayyyyy

amazing O.o''' envy

So jelly about those fan-leaders >_< guess they are like the presidents of FC in conventional european FC?

If they have the boys schedule then should be partly official, isn't it?

I wonder how one gets that position

Interesting! Like others have said, reminds me of fanclubs elsewhere or fan convention organizers where actors appear.

In a way, I'd be more curious to meet a Koki fan leader than Koki himself. What kind of person would s/he be like. That sort of thing.

If these fan leaders are hypothetically chosen based on longevity... being a Koki fan thru all those yrs & changes? How?

I still like to be chosen is more than a long time fan cuz they have to trust the person. I think they know someone in JE.

If each member has their own fan leaders do they have their own fan club? lol I thought only JE had JFC? I'm just super curious about it

bunniqula well... like Brooke said once, that Info_Koki girl is a Koki fan since he's in JE xD She surely is a strong girl LOL

steph_mendes: Strong to make it this far.

steph_mendes: However, AFAIK, info_Koki has been MIA for awhile & that Twitter acct is more a 'bot' acct.

From what I remember of Brooke ref'ing, info_Koki seems protective of who she interacts with? Or maybe that was Brooke being dramatic. Dunno

Seems Koki fangirls are older and/or hidden/reclusive.

I believe fan leaders are what yuijbj said. They've been there since the beginning, when KT were prob still baby Juniors.

I'm basing this off my Takarazuka experience. But it's the same w/ ladies forming clubs for actresses they like when they're still in their

baby stage (basically, the Junior-status equivalent).

The difference with JE fan leaders is that they can't form 'official' clubs, but I suppose they keep fans/chaos organized when their

boys have an event, etc.

Tho yeah, idk how JE recognizes fan leaders lol. I suppose there must be some kind of protocol for when you want to be someone's fan

leader, haha.

Anyways~ in Takarazuka, you can join an actresses' club, and then you'll get some kind of matching clothing, like a scarf, jacket, etc lol

You wear them before and after a show (before when the actresses enter the theater and after when they leave) and you line up to give your

fan letter or whatever.

It was really interesting how it all works, having seen the line-ups in person.

krysyuy: Reminds me of Harry Potter costumes/scarfs w/ each scarf representing a House.

haha, yes, basically that

It is interesting I talked to marco to find out more about it.

here FC works a bit like that but are organized by fans, and then when they have enough members they became kind of official

and attend official events, vip seats for cons and so

for the persons who founded the FC ^^
