You probably wouldn't see Japanese males doing "fangirl" things when they see their artist live or something eg. screaming, crying, hysterical fits.
It all depends on the artist, but generally speaking I would say its more the opposite. The girls, no matter how big a fan they are, generally behave and act more cool. Hardcore male Japanese fans though? Its seriously hard to predict what they might do. (Everyone on music station is a hard core fan of some performing artist on the show since you have to be a fanclub member in order to get into the taping.)
