I don't think she's implying that they need to be fan of hers and know every songs. But if they're professors at an University teaching Japanese, shouldn't they have some credentials in the Japanese culture?

Although the professor might not eat sushi, read mangas, nor watch anime, if they didn't know what sushi, mangas, nor animes are, then would you trust them teaching you Japanese and it's culture?

They don't need to know every aspects of the Japanese culture, but they should be able to recognize her name or at least a few of her songs if they really came from/care about Japan Current/Recent Culture. Same applies to Bz and Mr Children and a few artists.
