ALT1: ... that in Japan, fans support their oshi (pictured) by buying merchandise, attending concerts, drawing fan art and writing fan fiction? Source: Oshikatsu refers to the efforts fans engage in to support their favourite oshi, which can mean an entertainer, an anime or manga character, or a group they admire and want to “push”. A considerable part of this support is economic in nature. Fans attend events and concerts, or buy merchandise such as CDs, posters and other collectables. Other forms of oshikatsu are meant to spread the fame of their idol by sharing content about their oshi, engaging in social media campaigns, and writing fan fiction or drawing fan art.
ALT2: ... that financially supporting one's oshi (pictured) has been compared to gambling addiction or alcoholism? Source: Psychiatrist Nishimura Kotaro, who specializes in addiction issues, says oshikatsu addiction is real, labeling it a form of relationship addiction that can be as real as an alcohol or gambling addiction. “It’s a matter of personal choice if the activities aren’t problematic and you can sustain your participation in society,” he told Toyo Keizai. “If you cross that line, it spirals out of control.”

Comment: Drive-by nom. I wanted to add a picture but felt that the (pictured) tag would come in conflict with the parenthesized explanation of the foreign-term if it had to be used.

Overall:  qpq’s are good, article is mostly good, and spot checks worked out. ALT0 and ALT3 are interesting, and I don’t think (idol) is needed, so go crazy with those picture hooks. I’ve never reviewed a drive-by nom before, so no clue how this works, but I can’t access ref 6, for some reason or another, the link just doesn’t open. It is however said to be a bachelors thesis, which are unreliable, I believe. @Miraclepine: 1brianm7 (talk) 08:47, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

@1brianm7: I've removed the ref and added a pic. 15:32, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
