ファンカム

• 読み: ファンカム
• ローマ字: fankamu
• 漢字の分解: From English 'fancam' (fan + camera). Katakana loanword adopted from K-pop fan terminology.
• 発音: /ɸaɴ.ka.mu/

意味

Fan-filmed video focusing on one specific performer during a concert or stage performance.

ファンカム originated in K-pop fan culture and has been adopted into Japanese idol and music fandom. These are videos — often shot from the audience or taken from broadcast footage — that focus on a single member throughout a group performance. They showcase individual talents and expressions that group-wide cameras miss. In Japan, official ファンカム released by agencies have become a promotional strategy, though fan-filmed versions at live events exist in a legal grey area.

例文

1. 推しのファンカム見つけたんだけど表情がやばすぎて無理。
2. 公式からファンカム出るの嬉しい、カメラワークが推しに合わせてくれてる。
3. ライブのファンカム見てたら行きたくなってきた。
