バンギャ || BANGYA
BANGYARU→BANGYA→GYA
An abbreviation for BANDO GYARU (= Band girl). It is the Japanese equivalent to "fangirl", but it is only used for fans of Visual kei bands! It depends on the person whether they want to refer to themselves as a bangya or not since it does have some negative connotations. However, the abbreviation "gya" is commonly and usually used when referring to fans, even to oneself.

盤・盤土・盤度 || ban・ bando・bando
盤 ban = record, tray, shallow bowl.
土 do = soil, earth.
度 do = time (as in "the first time")
Slang term for "band". You will usually only see 盤 though.
Note: The kanji don't make sense. Their reading just fits the sound of the words.

麺・麺婆 || men・menbaa
麺 men = noodles
婆 baa = old woman, hag
Slang term for "member"
Note: The kanji don't make sense. Their reading just fits the sound of the words.

It means: they are not active anymore, but they keep living in my heart.

アンコ || anko
An abbreviation for Ankooru (Encore). Encore is shouted when the live is seemingly over. However, it is usual for a band to appear on stage again after the fans shouted encore.
While in Europe fans shout it for a minute and then give up, it is usual at Japanese concerts to shout until the band appears on stage again without break.
