List of all Fan base/club names?

yoshino · #1 4th August 2013, 08:02 AM

Just curious and wanna know the names of all the fan clubs for Jpop, Jrock and Kpop.

And are they for official fan club members only?
Cos for example, Ayu's TA club is for her official fan members. So I can't call myself a TA of course. I can only say that I'm an Ayu fan.

But for SHINee? Can I say I'm a Shawol despite that I'm not a SHINee's official fanclub member? (Just only enjoy listening to their songs) Are all the known fan base names for official members only?

Thanks in advance. I hope my questions aren't confusing.

Edit: Compiling all those that u guys mention here~
1st name is the official club name, 2nd is the fan club name. (If there is)

Spoiler:

Shawol is SHINee's fanclub name, you are a fan but not a member.

Member = a Shawol. That is how I see things anyway.

What i like about GACKT's fans is that member or not, if you're a fan, you're a Dear. he always adresses his fans in his blogs "To all of my DEARS". The only difference is that you are either an official (meaning a member of a fanclub) Dear or not.

i dunno at least that's how it's taken in the fandom. And at some point i believe he takes all of his fans as Dears.

Also i've seen on tumblr some of Namie fans adressing fellow fans as Amuras lol

Wow some names are interesting and I didn't know of!

And thanks for answering!

If only such things are divided clearly →
1. name for official fanclub members and
2. name for people who are just fans (not member).

I think it will be easier for everyone in this world. lol.

BREAKERZ - team brz

That's the official fanclub name for BREAKERZ & since I'm in their fanclub I'm counted as 1

As for Johnny's they're all under the same fanclub but each of the fans in each group have called themselves unique names, fans wise which includes :

KAT-TUN - Hyphen
NEWS - Chankapana (or so I think haha)
Kanjani8 - Eighter

2NE1 - Blackjacks
Jay Park - Jaywalkers
BIGBANG - V.I.P

That's all I can remember off the top of my head lol

Girls Generation - S♥ne
f(x) - aff(x)ction (I think?)
4Minute - 4Nia

I'm not too sure about f(x) and 4Minute, but S♥ne are all GG fans, not just members of the offical club. They address sone's almost all the time in public events.

In Kpop it's normal to call yourself a SONE, Shawol, etc even you didn't register their official fanclub. But not sure about the things go on in Jpop, I don't call myself TeamAyu since I didn't join her official fanclub

it's like you need more loyality in Jpop fandom?

Actually, B'z fans are called Brothers or "Bros" (because of the song "Brotherhood").

Koda Kumi's official fanclub is Koda Gumi.

Also, I know that the official fanclub for Kana Nishino is The Nishino Family, but I think her fans are called Kanayans, like her nickname?
