I Didn’t Know That! Artists’ Fan Names Ranking

In the west, big artists like Beyonce and Rihanna are known for having dedicated fans known as the Beyhive and Navy.  While K-pop fans are known for declaring themselves Blackjacks (2NE1) and Shawols (SHINee) for example. But do you know what J-pop fans call themselves?

Last year, through the use of Twitter and other SNS, fan names like ‘Mononofu’ and ‘Pana-san’ made waves. Likewise, baseball player Tanaka Masahiro (New York Yankees) who is a well-known Momoiro Clover Z fan also refers to himself as a ‘Mononofu’. As such, a ranking was made “I didn’t know that! Artists’ fan names ranking”. The poll was conducted from March 26th, 2014 to March 28th. A total of 1,088 responses were received.
