“Fansa” is short for “fan service,” and refers to idols winking, blowing kisses, and the like toward fans at concert venues.
To get this “fansa,” people use a “fansa uchiwa”! By waving an eye-catching uchiwa fan with the name of your fave and the fan service you want them to do, your idol will notice you and might wave back to you, for example.
If you hold up uchiwa that say things like “Wave at us!” or “Do a peace sign!” to your teammates at a school sports festival or field day, it could amp up the excitement and give it a concert-like vibe.
