    • buying fanclub clothing??

    Posted by komulove on Fri 13 of Aug, 2010 05:29 GMT-0000 posts: 20 ☆ ☆ ☆
    do you think takarazuka fans ever sell their scarves or shirts etc that are official to a star fanclub?? i searched crescent-shop for 宝塚 (takarazuka) and i tried multiple spellings of "scarf" with it, but i got nothing. i dont know if its a matter of not searching in the right place or the right keywords, or if its just so rare that they sell the item; i understand the latter completely, i would NEVER sell such a beautiful amazing thing, but surely there is an occasional person who has moved on to a different club or they need money or something? (the more i think about it, it seems more unlikely a fanclub member would ever sell it...)
    sigh im just going to have to scribble my favourite stars' names on all my clothing with magic marker..

    I actually have seen *taidan* wear on sale for Y!J. (Meaning, the final white scarves/jackets for a retiring star.) It is expensive though, considering that the cheapest I've ever seen taidan wear was about 10,500. Which I think is how much ours was, if I remember correctly. There are also the troupe-wide club wear that I've seen pop up occasionally, since I guess they figure it can't be traced back to them if it went out to multiple clubs.

    (Remember that the Japanese word for scarf is actually "stole," so that might pop up some extra things.)

    ＊laughs＊ I think the general consensus among Japanese fans is that fanclub wear tends to be so awful no one would buy it if they had a choice in the matter, so Taka-An wouldn't buy it often used because they wouldn't expect to be able to re-sell it.

    Of course different clubs have different levels of strictness, but in general I've heard that if the club wear has a name on it, it's to be worn only for its intended purposes (irimachi, demachi, souken) and then never again.

    Since it's frowned upon, you tend to see more the kinds of things that are given out as ochakai presents on sale at Taka-An, and fewer kinds of clothes and things that the hard-core fans would be buying.
