最大の成果は上海でSNH48のファンに対するインタビューを実施し、そこから重要な知見を得たことである。典型的事例として日本のAKBファンを経て後にSNHファンになったAさん(20代女性)のケースを紹介する。Aさんは高校生の頃(2009年頃)AKBの板野友美のファンとなった。きっかけはネットでAKB48の人気番組「AKBINGO」視聴したことであった(著作権上問題だが、中国では「字幕組」と呼ばれるボランティアが日本の人気テレビ番組を録画したものに素早く中国語字幕を付し次の日にはネット上にアップする)。アイドルに魅了されてからというもの彼女はCD(中に握手券や総選挙の投票券が封入されている)やグッズを買ったり、総選挙の投票のための募金活動(応援会が投票券入りCDを大量購入するため資金調達活動を行う)に身を投じることとなる。SNHには既に約10万元(≒170万円)を消費した。アイドルグループのファンになって日常生活や意識に何か変化はあったか、との問いに「娯楽生活が豊富になった」とし、「微力だとしてもアイドルのために自分の力を尽くしたいと思う」ようになったと述べた。また「ファンコミュニティは一つの社会のようで、一人の学生にとって、前もって社会に足を踏み入れたようなものだと思う。少しビジネスのやり方を学んだし、他者への接し方や処世術を学んだ。」と述べた。ボランタリズムと社会性が涵養されたのである。「劇場」や「アイドル」とは何かとの問いに「劇場は自分にとって同好会のラウンジだ。ここで多くの人に出会ったし、皆は同じ趣味を持っていて、同じアイドルを応援して一緒に様々な思い出を作れたからだと答えた。「アイドルは私にとって一種の信仰、ブラスのエネルギーをもたらす信仰。彼女の成長を見ていると、私はとても幸せな気持ちになる。」コミュニティは「居場所」であり「自己肯定感」を醸成するのである。

This study aims to examine the significance of the reception and consumption of Japanese entertainment by the general public in China-especially the Chinese youth. The first section analyzes the intentions of the Japanese government and companies that send Japanese entertainment troupes abroad, whereas the second considers the intentions of the Chinese government and Chinese corporations in their reception of Japanese popular culture. The third section describes, as an example, the management, administration, and activities of a sister group for Japanese "idols" that was launched in Shanghai. It attempts an elementary examination of the way in which youth construct their identity through activities in this group, focusing on statements that specific members have made since joining. The results elucidated the potential of limitless and, open-minded growth and development of self for individuals that have little to do with national borders, ideologies sand the economic strategies of corporations, as well as the universality of socio-educational effects that are created by interactions within youth groups.

The purpose of this paper is to consider to the cultural influence of globalized entertainment. Using theexample of Japanese-style idol training groups that have expanded into China, as well as the activities oftheir fan communities, we looked at the non-formal educational aspects of their activities that are thekey points of this study. For this purpose, the authors have been gathering data and observingparticipants in Shanghai for a number of years. In Section 1, the authors provide their responses toquestions and points of criticism raised in investigative and study groups both inside and outside school,and discuss the intellectual framework of this study. In Section 2, based on materials gathered online andlocally, a detailed study is made of the activities of fans and their independently organized supportgroups. In Section 3, we present a study on the significance of fan activities for individual fans, based ontranscripts of interviews with fans of relevant idol groups, to conduct an analysis from a more detailedperspective. Through this process, our findings indicate that being a fan of an idol—an activity that canbe viewed as simply a “leisure-time activity for geeks” —actually promotes self-development though itssocial activities, and has significance in terms of lifelong learning.

This paper presents an investigation of the true meaning and influence of Japanese popular culture, especially around idols, for Chinese youth. First, I investigate in the second section how Chinese youth and adult society perceive idols. Then, in the third section, I take a look at how the youth actually enjoy observing Japanese idols and attempt to relate to them as well as what sort of interaction and crossfertilization is occurring as a consequence of this: we can see a generational and cultural gap between the values of adult society and those of the youth community. In fact, Chinese youth are a prominent example of the casual transgression of an idealized image stipulated by adult society. What sort of influence does this popular youth culture prevailing in China and its psychological penetration have on society? This is a point that must be considered when adopting "Cool Japan" as a policy and trying to export culture. Simultaneously, this study suggests that the Japanese idol training system holds the potential for pluralistic interaction, growth, and meetings among youth; in other words, it holds a socioeducational significance.
