The online internet economy has favored streaming and resale platforms, yet idol music CDs remain a must-have item for fans, as they constantly offer more ways to physically manifest the members into one’s life. Whether it’s photo cards, special photo albums exclusive to the new album’s concept, notebooks with personalized notes for fans, etc., these evocations of the idol will find their place in the personal environment of fans as easily as they will get disseminated throughout the public domain, because of fans' willingness to keep the idol close to them. This also goes for all other products relating to the idol’s persona, as they are designed to materialize the idol into their fans’ lives. These tangible tokens embody the intangible feelings of idols for fans as well as the distinct yet familiar character idols inspire fans; there is no need for the idol’s literal body to be suggested because fans already feel as if they were with them through the use of these symbols.
