My question is to help me understand what 「ブームメント」 and「ムーブメント」 mean in
Japanese using the example above. ブームメント gives the impression of something
much stronger than ムーブメント, but I don't understand what it means in the above.

question
meaning spoken-language
What is the difference between「ブームメント」 and「ムーブメント」and do they share the same connotation as "movement" in English?
I believe ブームメント is simply a typo. Some people seem to have mixed ブーム (boom)
with ムーブメント (movement) and came up with ブームメント.

Watch this video, where one _idol_ accidentally said ブームメント, and was corrected
by others at once.

answer
I think ブームメント can be either a simple malapromism, or an intended neology
combining "boom" and "ment" of "movement." It may mean a sensational boom, but
I'm not sure. The word, ブームメント isn't a standard Japanese word anyway.
