特典会

• 読み: とくてんかい
• ローマ字: tokutenkai
• 漢字の分解: 特 (special) + 典 (ceremony, code) + 会 (gathering, event) → special-perk event
• 発音: /to.ku.teɴ.ka.i/

意味

A fan meet event offering special perks like handshakes, photos, or signed items with the artist.

特典会 is a key part of Japanese idol culture where fans can meet and interact with performers. Perks (特典) typically include handshakes, cheki (instant photos together), or signed merchandise. Access requires purchasing CDs or specific merch — the more you buy, the more interaction time you get. This system drives CD sales and is a cornerstone of the Japanese idol business model.

例文

1. 特典会で推しと初めて話せて、緊張しすぎて何も言えなかった。
2. CD5枚買ったから特典会で5回握手できるよ。
3. 特典会の列が長すぎて、自分の番が来るまで3時間かかった。
