Abstract

type:P(論文)

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.
