As part of my Japanese education I feel that it would be beneficial to start interacting in a ‘real’ setting in Japanese, especially over the internet. I especially would like to discuss idols and related topics but am unaware of forums or message boards that would be helpful for that apart from the infamous 2ch which I have heard extremely concerning things about. Does anyone know what online spaces would be helpful for breaking into the Japanese idol community? Thank you in advance.

LINE and Twitter are the main social media sites in Japan. Yahoo is also still used there.
Twitter is gonna be the thing. Change the trends location to Japan, select a trend and you’ll have infinite stuff to read on that topic. Could even just search a specific hashtag kanji and you’ll get stuff on that topic.
