If you want to be closer to Chinese people it's essential that you use their "stuff". First thing I did when I lived there was signup for QQ.
For a Japanese person to be making any effort to learn anything Chinese is really huge. She might not realize it, but she is giving her country great PR. The Japanese government should sponsor her and make her into an ambassador of sorts (if not her, then put together a band of publicly acceptable "youths".)
However, it's not that hard to get 1M followers in China, specially for an entertainer. If China has anything in abundance, it's easily excitable and bored young men (it really boggles the mind when one takes the bus after school and sees millions upon millions of uniformed teens just within 30 minutes)
- nandemo 16y ago> For a Japanese person to be making any effort to learn anything Chinese is really huge. Er, not really, Chinese is the 2nd most popular foreign language in Japan. Besides, since Japanese characters are a subset of Chinese characters and calligraphy is a subject in elementary school, it's not a big deal for a Japanese to make a half-assed job at drawing Chinese characters (i.e. just copying them down, it's not even "learning Chinese"). That said, I agree she's doing right, by paying attention to her fans and making them feel they have a connection.
