担降り

• 読み: たんおり
• ローマ字: tan ori
• 漢字の分解: 担 (carry/responsibility, from 担当) + 降 (descend/get off) → stepping down from supporting one's idol
• 発音: /taɴ.o.ɾi/

意味

Dropping your bias — completely stopping support for an idol you previously stanned.

担降り combines 担当 (tanō, 'person in charge' → your assigned/chosen idol) with 降りる (oriru, 'to descend/get off'). Unlike 推し変 (switching to a new fave), 担降り emphasises leaving — you are getting off the train entirely. It is often a painful decision triggered by scandals, graduation announcements, or burnout. The term carries heavy emotional weight in idol fan communities.

例文

1. スキャンダルの件で担降りする人多いね。
2. 担降りしたけど未練がすごい。
3. 担降りしようと思ったけど新曲聴いて無理だった。
