I think a lot of Japanese are crazy about celebrities, especially recently Korean artists. We try to go to South Korea to see the famous places the celebrities visited. We also try to buy the products that celebrities promote or are using now.
Frankly, I feel celebrities influence their fans in a significant number of ways. For instance, the walking culture, who to vote for, public offices, what to wear, and what to buy. It's almost like you don't have a mind of your own. That's the reason I believe celebrities influence their culture.
