Fishmans Wiki

Neri is a fanclub and administrative group founded by Fishmans, inaugurated on November 1, 1993. This date is tenuous, however, as Neri was credited in the "Special Thanks" section of 1991's Chappie, Don't Cry, though Neri's name might have simply been inspired by whoever this might have been.

The group's lead administrator is Akiko Ueta and it served as the primary outlet for the band to interact with fans throughout the 1990s. Neri is known to have printed several editions of a fanzine called Pool, which printed at least 25 volumes of material chronicling the band's specific activities since late 1993. It's unclear if Neri is still active alongside Fishmans today, however it's believed Pool editions stopped being made long ago and therefore Neri's presence is minimal if anything. Today, Fishmans more commonly communicates directly with fans via the Internet, so the corporate face of Neri is less necessary.
