iside89: (The Artist)
If you speak enough Japanese to read Japanese Hyphens’ tweets, you’ve surely seen that in the last months they are being quite active: writing to TV stations to let KAT-TUN have a program, or write to radio or FC for the tour and similar.

One of their biggest projects so far is trying to have a DVD/Bluray of DREAM BOYS; they are basically spamming the fanclub with postcards requests.
It seems (from what I read from their tweets, so I don’t know the details) that SHOCK, Koichi’s butai, has a DVD release this year after 4 years because FC received lots of requests from fans, so KAT-TUN fans are trying to do the same with DREAM BOYS (because dream boys has no DVD since 2007). I remember you that DBS 2011 had not only Kame but also Koki and Nakamaru, therefore you might want to join this project too, even if not Kame fan.

Chatting with some of the Japanese fans, we came to conclusion that, despite most of us foreigner hyphens speak English and not Japanese, sending requests even in English wouldn’t be such bad, on the contrary it might be a good appeal since we could emphasize the fact we have just DVD to see the stage plays and well, more postcards, more possibility of success ^__^
I also saw that someone was translating how to do it into English for international fandom on Twitter (Muffy, here: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1rl5pst ), and I also saw that there may be someone who wants to help and try this out, so here I basically translated what Jp fans are doing and wrote a small tutorial if you want to do it too. :D

I guess you can do it all together during fan gathering and stuff :D

"Until now there have been really a lot of happenings, we've made you feel uneasy and worried a lot. There's been a period we've felt uneasy a lot too. But who saved us that time are you, who face us with a smile despite waiting for years, who support us being our center.
Thank to you all, this place called KAT-TUN that in the past I hated so much has become such a precious and irreplaceable place. Until we've properly paid you back for everything, I want us to be the KAT-TUN that can make you say 'I'm glad of being a Hyphen' even 10 years from now. Please follow us forever."

This post is going to be fast and, I hope, a happy news for you all! ^^

[livejournal.com profile] plumerika, being most probably the kindest person on Earth I know, has spent the past days giving her best in translating Youkai Ningen Bem movie. \^__^/ Please show her your love, guys ♥
I am going to work on this project too (the dynamic duo is ba~ck!)as trans-checker, therefore... please be assured, we're working to produce English subs for this movie and we're going to release them in the very next days :)

Stay tuned!

(announcing this project so maybe we can avoid doing double work with other sub teams ^^'')

Oricon announced EXPOSE obtained #1 spot in the weekly chart. It's the 20th single and they are the second group obtaining #1 spot since debut for 20 consecutive singles after Kinki kids (32)!
Congratulations, KAT-TUN!!! May there be many more #1s to come. ♥

Since my previous post spreaded more than I imagined when I wrote it, I think I must celebrate too :)
I am very happy and touched that my previous post reached many fans' hearts! As expected, Hyphens are great! ♥ Didn't betray my expectations.
As I wrote in many replies, my main message wasn't "buy Expose because we're in danger" (well, that was implied), but it was "If you've never done it before, from now on please buy their singles, stop just downloading".
I strongly believe that the main way to show we're appreciating their songs and efforts is buying the products. Do you like their lives? Then you buy the concert DVD, right? Then same goes for singles and albums: do you like their rock song? Then you buy it, at least one version, to show you like their choice and the project behind.
This is particularly true for international fans. Most of us don't live in Japan to send them fanletters, or attend their tours buying tickets and goods, or watch TV to pimp the TV program audience share when they're performing. We have just this method to show we are appreciating them as artists... and we also have to be grateful that present technology allows us to buy CDs and DVDs even from the other side of the planet! 
So the question isn't "why buy?" but "why not buy?".
Numbers themselves aren't everything
But #1 is the actual proof of KAT-TUN and fans' bond, therefore I wish international fans finally take a step further and start taking part actively to make this bond shine. It's the CHAIN with the boys ^_^

Thank you all for commenting to the previous post, sharing it around the web, agreeing with what I wrote, buying the single (←Have I suddenly become their manager? lol)! Let's continue supporting KAT-TUN together! Many many beautiful singles are waiting ahead! Let's make them the 21st, 22nd, 23rd... consecutive #1!
iside89: (KAT-TUN KZM)
So guys, you should have already guessed what was the huge translating project that will take all my free time throughout August and September that I talked about here, right?


~~KAT-TUN no ZETTAI MANETAKUNARU TV~~

I am OCD I like this TV show so much (I'm serious. *points at her icon*) to think that I *want* to see this TV program finished, so I'm doing my best to conclude all the 10 episodes translations! [livejournal.com profile] plumerika and [livejournal.com profile] blue_fire0013 from Babel staff, plus [livejournal.com profile] krysyuy and [livejournal.com profile] redina, are kind enough to cope with my OCD-ness to follow me in this suicidal mission xD; I love you girls, I'd be lost without your help <3

So please go to [livejournal.com profile] kat_tun5 and enjoy episode 5 and episode 6 English subbed! \^0^/


By the way, I updated Fumetsu no scrum lyrics after it was broadcasted on Hangout. Last edit will be after I have the official lyrics :)
I'm going to translate Koki's 10.000 words interview, if no one does it before I can read it, as much as my usual Maquia, still I don't know exactly *when* since I'm giving priority to KZM and this project will kill me eventually, I feel it, LOL. But I'm enjoying subbing it, so I hope everyone else does too~

If someone is still undecided whether buy or not "To the limit"... (the video isn't made by me)



I smell epic PV for this song too so I suggest LE with DVD *-*
(you're free to share here your #feelings toward this song)
iside89: (Default)
I'm going to be unashamed and pimp this here too~ xD

Go Anon and show me your love (or twisted feelings, or whatever) :D (click on Bem to be redirected)


(KOCCHI KOI YO~)


It's Christmas and I'm ready to accept all of your feelings~ xD And I'll show my love to you too (anonymously, because it's funnier this way) if you write on that topic your nick too XD

I promised this post time ago when I started to use the word "Kamenashi Effect" in my entries. Read it carefully because I hid many gifs/pics as links all throughout the post. :Dv
**NOTE: it's a post made for fun to make fun of Kametards written by a Kametard Kamefan, so yeah, it's ironic**
I was partially inspired by [livejournal.com profile] scorch66 's Kame love posts and [livejournal.com profile] simourva 's picspam, so go and read them :D
Finally, after months of researches, notes and observation of KAT-TUN fans and Kamestans, I wrote my "essay" about the amazing, bewireling, shocking...

The Kamenashi Effect
(awesome since 1986)
Or, how KAT-TUN, especially Kame, can change your life without making you realize it

21+ reasons to hate&love this man :D and what he did to his fans. )

Because just an awesome man can call for awesome fans, right? :)

Sometimes people need to face hard times to learn that there are awesome guys around them.
Yesterday was a long and stressful day, but I learnt 3 important things.

One is that colleagues may be friends, and that I'm surrounded with gorgeous people, that managed to make me smile in unexpected situations and are absolutely wonderful, inside and outside (voice included).
The second is that I know many, many other gorgeous people that will listen to me not only when I fangirl and spazz, but even when I'm angry or depressed for an exam; but most of all, they will always believe and support me.
The third is that it doesn't exist such a bad situation that can't be settled up decently - and maybe be the start of a renewed friendship? - with a personal, open-hearted discussion.

You know who I am referring to. Thanks for showing me that I took the right choice, that day, to join this fandom.
(I hate being sappy but this time I will ♥)

iside89: (Don't Keep Calm just Kill)
It seems that my personal hell has finished. More or less. I'm still not completely over it, I'll be busy till the end of the month, but the biggest part is done. As I said, I need time at least till Saturday to fix some stuff and recover (especially because my last exam took 3 days instead of the usual 2, so I'm like... dead? XD) but from Sunday I won't consider myself on hiatus anymore. :)

I'll check the Lyrics translations with the official lyrics. For the rest, my priority list has media trans, so check [livejournal.com profile] kat_tun5 in the next days.

---EDIT TO ADD: My future projects (no particular order)

(so you know what you will read and if you're a translator maybe you want to work on smth else)

-Maquia n.6, as always. Supposedly this weekend.
-Ray 2011.04 (already started months ago, just to finalize. it's a bit difficult so it takes time)
-The Television 2011.05.21

-TV PIA 11.05.14

That's all folks!

Hiatus

Apr. 28th, 2011 08:10 pm
iside89: (Don't Keep Calm just Kill)
I hoped to be able to avoid it, but it seems this time I really must go on hiatus, and I mean full hiatus, at least until half May.

I've got really important stuff to do the next weeks and in order to catch up (because yes, I'm terribly behind the schedule and I'm not even sure I'll manage to do everything decently) I need to focus on that stuff almost completely (I'll give myself at least 6hrs of sleep, don't worry). It will be hard, because I'm not able to stay away from fandom for long periods, so I'll give myself 1 hour somewhere in the day to check LJ & other networks to rant and vent about how my RL is stressful and to spazz about KT's perfs, but for the rest of time/days I'll try to be a creepy ninja as most as I can.

From 21 May I think I'll be a little more free lucky me White single isn't next week or how was I supposed to focus, OTZ  but I foresee I'll be back at full force just in June.

Until then, I will miss you all ;_; and about translations, just ask me if it's extremely necessary.

See ya!

Changes!

Tonight I tried to put order in my tag system, since I myself had a hard time to find what I was looking for in some communities.
Tag system, graphic changes, future projects. )

----
And now a KT meme that I stealed took from KAT-TUN Worldwide forum XD
KT 30Q meme! )

Oh, I love "TWO". It gives me emotional ups and downs, I wonder why. At first I find it happy, then it becomes refreshing during the second chorus, then... it suddenly becomes setsunai ç__ç The central part with at first Kame's solo line, then all of them, with the voices that overlap... It touches me, I wonder why, it's not a sad song!

ame ni nureteta kinou no bokura ashita e to tsuzuku tobira o akeru yo
SUNDAY I LOVE YOU
itsu made mo soba ni doko made mo fukaku
tsuyoku gyutto tsunaida te to te hitotsu ni kanjite


And the "aishiteiru yo"?! Whoever sings it (I'm pretty sure it's Kame... I know I confuse Koki and Kame's voices sometimes, but this time I really think it's Kame's voice :/ The low tone is very similar to Aishiteiru Kara intro)... I melt ;__; The first time I noticed the "aishiteruyo" (around the 2-3 listening O_O) I was on a train. I had an heart attack and jumped on my seat. I was like "Who's whispering in my ear like this?!". But it was the song. I fell in love -again- with Kame. ♥
iside89: (Tego FTW?)
No fandom drama here for now. So I'll go with a stupid entry XD Since lots of people I know in the last few days seem to be depressed or sad or emo or whatever, I bring you the ULTIMATE MEDICINE FOR YOUR SADNESS: JOHNNY'S IN DRAG!
Johnny's in drag )
iside89: (Kame is for Temptation...)
I will be quick.

I need to book my a/r ticket for Japan and my parents are being fussy è_é Since my classmates will come back Sept. 1st and Sept.4th or so it seems, my parents want me to come back on those days too. But... It would be a tease to me, and miss Dream Boys 2011 for just... hours?! WHAT °_°

So now my request(s):
1) do you know how many shows of Dream Boys there are usually during a week? I suppose it's impossible to go to the show(s) on 4th, so I have to put my hopes in shows around 5-6-7 September. I tried to look for info about DB2009 but my ninja skills suck.
2) Where can I buy them? At the Theater? Online? Conbini? Do I need to write directly to Kame and beg him? XD
3) When the tickets will be on sale (more or less, an answer like "August" is fine)?
4) How much does a ticket cost? XD

These questions are because I need to book my ticket... like... this week T_T and if I know I'll be able to go to see DB2011, I can press my parents and stay 2-3 days more than expected (and without changing flight ticket 24 hours before).
If you don't know either, at least direct me to someone who can answer/went to see DB in the past years ;___;

ずっとハイフンでいてくれる? 
じゃ俺らもずっとKAT-TUNでいる。


KOKI YOU MADE ME CRY, I LOVE AND HATE YOU FOR THIS OMG ;_____________;

At first I didn't understand well the first sentence (it was 3am and I was rather sleepy lol), but after the second sentence I went back, I understood HYPHEN and I swear I cried. At the last 20 seconds of the DVD. T___T
"WIll you be always our hyphen? Then, we'll always be KAT-TUN."
SO MUCH LOVE I CAN'T EXPRESS IT OMG OMG *hearts and tears everywhere*
I think this was the first time that they/he used the word "hyphen" addressing to the fans this year? Coz they didn't call us seriously "hypens" until this year. I FEEL SO LOVED *______*
These boys deserve so much love, especially after this tough year. Oh they're so sweet, and Koki is such a lovely tsundere (I've never said that he's my 1,5 bias? Because I love him so much that 2nd place isn't enough, he sometimes jumps on 1st place instead of Kame, like this time). I just want to hug all of them five and say "you're loved, don't worry!"
I've never loved so much a band in my whole life. Really. I'm impressed and scared but really... this DVD is the best Christmas/New Year present I've received in the last years.

I'm putting everything in my luggage, I'm going to go to my friend's house to prepare everything for tomorrow party in around 2 hours and I won't have internet connection there.
I hope all of you have flailed/is flailing/will flail adequately on KT DVD because it's AWESOMEx10000^infinite. *__* I will join your flailing on 1st January, don't worry XD

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! SEE YOU IN 2011 ♥♥♥
iside89: (KoKaNa)
*unable to say coherent sentences*

HELLA YEAH it arrived! *_* I almost screamed on the train when my mom at the phone said (with an unexpected happy voice LOL) "Oh, your cd is arrived", right after I ended bashing the demonstrators (all students) that blocked the railways for hours and hours. What a nice way to end my awful day! *____*
So... first of all. A HUGE, enormous THANKS THANKS THANKS to [livejournal.com profile] annneonet . Because yes, this CUW you see in this picture taken from an impossible angle (because here is 9pm and the flash erased Kame's face in the other photo LOL), is the one that I won thanks to the raffle in [livejournal.com profile] going_gonin community. So I'm going to worship her and love that community forever XD :-*

Photobucket

Funny fact: my mom, that isn't interested at all in KT-stuff (moreover, I guess she thinks "my daughter is still 15 years old" when she sees me fangirling X°°D), was pretty interested in this single, she started to read the various languages I won't say nothing about the random mistakes. When she looked at the boys, she said "Is this Kame?" *pointing at Kame without hesitation*
Me: "Yes!" *Isi starts to flail over the cover, etc etc*
At that moment I didn't even think that she isn't supposed to recognize them. I guess my KAT-TUN!bias, especially my Kame!bias, is terrible if even my mom, that can't tell Asian people apart, recognize Kame. LOL.
This is KAT-TUN's magic~~ XD

*goes back to jump all around the room*
iside89: (Kat-tun 5nin)
Admit it, you KNEW I'd post this. XD
I was too curious so at the end I opened LJ via mobile phone in train, this afternoon. And I saw it was already posted! I went KYAAA KYAAAA silently =P OF COURSE my mean phone didn't want to load youtube video nor download MF file so I almost threw it outside the train due to frustration è_é Then finally it said "your application is too old, update it" after 20 minutes of struggle and... THE HEAVEN *__*
HAWT - You can change ur world~~~! )
Oh I would have so much to say... but it's better if I stop here XD
iside89: (Kame bang!)
Random before going to sleep!
I'm getting into Twitter every day more XD It's a good way to chat with friends. I still prefer other ways to do it, but I have to say that I misjudged Twitter. Now I know why he's so used outside my country XD It's absurdly useful in order to stalk magazine updates and some snippets of famous people's life. Almost scary, I'd say. XD
Then, before going to bed, I've seen this twitt by Ori-Sta page, and now I'm wondering what they're talking about! They're so cruel to give hints a week before ç_ç 
Very (VERY, I'm without glasses and I'm sleepy XD) quick translation of the second half: it seems that at HEYx3 Kame did a wonderful request. Even the writer says that wanted to see it very much (I don't know what, if the report that will be featured in the magazine, or what Kame asked XD), so she/he's happy. Oh my, Kame, what did you ask? Now I'm curious XD We have to wait until 11/12. Oh ç_ç

Last: there is Kouhaku poll running. In the last 2 hours KT passed from position 11 to 5. AKB48 and Arashi are confirmed, the other artists will be choose throught this poll (or so it seems). And we want to see our lovely boys performing a time more, right? =P So go and vote (here you can find a guide). Ah, BTW, you can vote for more than one artist. This means that for example you can vote for NEWS too. Right now are winning KARA. Doh.

Random promotion: end! XD Let's go to sleep (5 hours again! Damn ç_ç)... good night XD
