02 - The Dark Side of Japanese Idol Fandom

Description:

In this episode, our old friend Zac Saxton (CatchFiveBats) walks us through his 10 years of Japanese idol fandom that took him from following major idols like Takahashi Ai to being a fan leader in the local idol scene in Nagoya, Japan. These experiences led to Japanese speaking fluency, connections and friendships throughout Japan, and an intimacy with a lifestyle that few outsiders experience on his level.

What does he have to say after 10 years? "You probably couldn't pay me to support another group on the same level."

Find out why in this week's Tokyo Splosion.
