About this term

A fansite is a fan photographer or account dedicated to one idol — sharp previews, airport shots, and concert photos. "Fansite masters" (often overlapping with homma) are well known inside each fandom.

Always credit when you repost. Do not crop out watermarks or claim the photos as your own.

Frequently asked questions

Is fansite the same as homma?

Closely related. Homma often stresses running a dedicated site/account for one member; fansite is the broader English label for that photo culture.

Can I use fansite photos commercially?

Almost never without permission. Personal reposts with credit are the norm; commercial use needs explicit OK.
