The Diversifying "Oshi Culture"

In recent Japan, the term "oshi-katsu" has become common. "Oshi" refers to one's favorite idol, artist, or character, and "oshi-katsu" describes activities supporting these favorites.

Interestingly, "oshi" isn't limited to idols. It can include sports players, favorite authors, zoo pandas, and more. Some people even have "oshi-pan" activities, regularly buying bread from their favorite bakery.

The ways of participating in "oshi-katsu" are evolving. Beyond attending live events, people gather information on social media and connect with others who share their "oshi" online. Many people create and post photos of dishes inspired by their favorite anime characters.

Many spend considerable money on "oshi-katsu," such as buying multiple copies of CDs or collecting merchandise from favorite artists. However, most view this spending as "important investment in their hobby."

Through "oshi-katsu," people make new friends, broaden their horizons, and find daily life more energetic.
