PPPH

A certain "tradition" or "certain way" to get into the heat of the moment in an (otakui-ish) idol concert.

PPPH stands for "Pan, Pa-Pan, Hyu-." Translated into English onomatopoeia, it's "Clap, Cla-Clap, Whee!" Would that then make the English equivalent a CCCW? Hmm...

PPPHs are done during the B-melo part of the song that has the rhythm of "ta-tatan."

The formal way was to do a PPPH is:

1. Single clap just below your left breast
2. Followed by a two short-syllable claps below your right breast
3. And ending it with jumping straight up with your right arm extended upward while saying "whee!" (imagine doing a shoryuken and screaming "whee!").

Many variants of PPPH exists, like saying "oi!," "hey!," or "yeah!" instead of "hyu," doing a spiral motion when jumping, etc. etc. Idol seiyuu concerts tend to have a large variation in PPPH amongst their hard-core fans.


Example:

I don't mind doing a PPPH at a seiyuu concert. What I do mind is the guy next to me splashing his sweat across my face at the "H" part of the PPPH.
