In conclusion, multiple studies may prove that if you go to idol live regularly, the happiness hormones dopamine and oxytocin will be secreted and you will be happy and your life span will be extended by about 9 years. about it. I don't know (´ ・ ω ・ ｀)
I hope you can see it in a stance.
Research on fan psychology
According to the research results of "Structure of fan psychology (2) Comparison of fan psychology and fan behavior by occupation for fans" in the Kansai University Academic Repository , fan psychology
"Evaluation of works" "Pseudo-romance feelings" "Appearance charm" "Identification / similarity" "Synchronization with fashion" "Fan communication" "Respect. "Longing" "Repulsion to fashion and jealousy"
It seems that they found that there are eight types, and the ones with the strongest tendency, including actors, athletes, musicians, etc. other than idols, are "evaluation of works" and "respect, admiration".
However, as far as idol fans are concerned, "pseudo-romance feelings" and "appearance charm" have high scores. That's right. I wonder if it's the tendency for nerds who are in love with each other or for collecting instax.
On the contrary, the score is not high for "evaluation of work". If you're a fan of professional baseball, you want the team to win, and if you're a fan of musicians, you want to hear good songs and the best performances, but when it comes to idols, you want high singing ability and acting ability. Not, if it's cute, it's okay to some extent! Like?
Another characteristic of idol fans is that "FAN Communications" also has a reasonably high score. Geeks can interact with each other, and fans can get excited about calls and MIXs happening on-site! It will be the psychology.
Going live will extend your life
As for me, the way I enjoy idols is to go to live concerts. By seeing idols live, it may be possible to satisfy "pseudo-romance feelings" and "appearance charm" , and "fan communication" between fans called Omitsu is one of the pleasures.
The above-mentioned research was conducted around 2005, so when it comes to the entertainment world at that time, Hello! Project and the AKB group were like representatives of idols.
Currently, there are a wide variety of idols, including majors and underground, but I think most of them are basically singing and dancing live. I wonder if the music industry is in a chaotic state, with idol-only festivals being held just like rock festivals, and idols appearing at rock festivals.
Studies have shown that regular visits to live concerts, not just idols, extend your lifespan.

Experience the live as a spectator for about 20 minutes increases the feeling of happiness by 21%, and there is a relationship between "a high level of happiness and an extension of life of about 9 years", so going to see the live will extend the life.
"Oxytocin" secretes dobadoba in pseudo-romance
Another happiness hormone "oxytocin" is also called "love hormone" and is known to be a substance in the brain that controls love .
In other words, it seems that otaku-gachi romance, which has a strong tendency for "pseudo-romance feelings," is happy and long-lived !
Even if I don't go to the point of love, I don't feel euphoric when I shake hands, talk, or take a picture of the idol I'm pushing, so I think that dopamine is probably dobadoba in my personal sense. So maybe I want to go to an idol live again.
Well, isn't it okay because the idol's live performance is fun without thinking about difficult things? That's it.
