“…However, as discussed in Section 1, this work could not be aligned with these studies since the aim of introducing computer-mediated communication in idol culture is to ofer connectedness to fans and not to increase business impact through collaboration or knowledgesharing. Rather, it relates to previous studies focusing on family [16,55] and romantic relations [24,50], as they discussed how computer-mediated communication can help people feel connected to each other. For example, it is reported that not only an instant messenger [16] but also an online game [55] can be an important communication channel in family relations.…”

“…P3: In online sessions, because the only thing I could see was the face of the member captured through the camera, it was hard to know with certainty whether my feelings were being conveyed. I acknowledge that the lack of interactivity has often been discussed as an issue in computer-mediated communication [49,50]. On the other hand, these comments focusing on interaction at meet-and-greet events emphasize its specialness compared to other situations like business meetings.…”

“…Here, I anticipate that examining how computer technologies have been adopted in such situations will provide new insights for the HCI community regarding the use of computer-mediated communication. This is because idol culture has a unique characteristic, which is diferent from other situations that previous studies have examined, such as workplace communication [1,31] and intimate relationships [24,50]. That is, while workplace communication mostly considers business impact rather than connectedness and intimate relationships usually emphasize connectedness, idol groups are required to balance both because they are providing the feeling of being connected with individual members as a part of their business.…”

“…"; and "Which would you prefer, conventional ofine events or recent online events, and why?" Guided by previous studies investigating the use of computer-mediated communication [50,55], I analyzed the transcription of the interviews using open coding [45]. Through iterative refnement processes, I obtained several themes for each topic, which were presented later in Section 5.…”

“…Furthermore, our fndings can also be connected to computermediated communication in personal situations. For example, previous studies that have investigated the role of computer-mediated communication in intimate relationships [24,50] have mainly regarded computers as a side channel to complement face-to-face communication. However, during COVID-19, it is conceivable that couples may not be able to meet for long periods of time, especially if they are in diferent countries.…”

In Japanese idol culture, meet-and-greet events where fans were allowed to handshake with an idol member for several seconds were regarded as its essential component until the spread of COVID-19. Now, idol groups are struggling in the transition of such events to computer-mediated communication because these events had emphasized meeting face-to-face over communicating, as we can infer from their length of time. I anticipated that investigating this emerging transition would provide implications because their communication has a unique characteristic that is distinct from wellstudied situations, such as workplace communication and intimate relationships. Therefore, I frst conducted a quantitative survey to develop a precise understanding of the transition, and based on its results, had semi-structured interviews with idol fans about their perceptions of the transition. The survey revealed distinctive approaches, including one where fans gathered at a venue but were isolated from the idol member by an acrylic plate and talked via a video call. Then the interviews not only provided answers to why such an approach would be reasonable but also suggested the existence of a large gap between conventional ofine events and emerging online events in their perceptions. Based on the results, I discussed how we can develop interaction techniques to support this transition and how we can apply it to other situations outside idol culture, such as computer-mediated performing arts.
