> 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.
