J-Rock

Today, the J-Rock fandom takes center-stage! Since its rise to prominence near the turn of the century, fans have drawn from the theatrics and stage personas of Japanese rock bands to establish an RPF community, complete with ships, role-plays, and fanworks.

The fandom had its start primarily through mailing lists and blogging sites. It grew in later decades thanks to online music streaming and increased interest in J-Rock outside of Japan. Buying and selling second-hand merch, such as CDs and cheki, is a common fan activity. In addition, Japanese-speaking fans often recap live performances and translate lyrics or interviews.
