It's that time of year again you guys! Our favorite colorfully dressed snarky man himself will be turning 28, or 17 for the 11th time. SO with that in mind arashifanatic and myself would like to to repeat our Twitter project from last year!
日本語でも書いてみる、間違ってるならすいません！

We will be trending #Nintendomiya again this year.
今年も#Nintendomiyaをトレンドします！がんばりましょう！

This time we are starting off at 7:30 AM on June 17th JAPAN TIME and keep it going until 2 PM.
6月17日に日本時間の7時半から14時まで。
That would be 6:30 PM June 16th until 1 AM Eastern Standard U.S.A time.
それは午後6時半から午前1時までEST。
For further conversions of time, please do so yourself, unfortunately my math isn't that good. xD (Yes this sentence was copied from the previous post because my math is STILL not good)
To convert to your time zone, please use THIS
We hope to keep it going for as long as possible

These are some guidelines to follow while tweeting for the event:

+You must have your tweets unlocked, meaning everyone must be able to read them. You can change this in your account settings
+You can type other things in your tweet but #Nintendomiya must not be attatched to anything else
+You can not just simply write #Nintendomiya, there must be other text with it.
+You can not attach any other hash tags in your tweet. [ex: #arashi and #nintendomiya can not be in the same tweet]
+You can't tweet the same things over and over again.
+No spamming
+Please do it at the designated time, if we all start together, it's more likely to trend faster.

That's it! If you have any questions feel free to post here. If you want to comment to say you're joining in and maybe share your Twitter username that's cool too! 8D

I was bored and sifting through my giant folder of scans and found the Lotus booklet! Sooo I made wallpapers, lots of different versions varying in colors and contrast. Take what you like :3 just don't share them without credit please xD

Here's a zip file of all of them if you're too lazy to click and save:

Thought I'd give writing out the lyrics a try, I couldn't hear one part correctly, so I didn't want to write it down xD I might give translating a shot, if I skip anything, I'm unsure of the meaning. I appologize in advance for the shittiness of my translation xD Not happy with the results LOL
I'm nowhere near fluent in Japanese so these lyrics could be completely wrong.

誰も知らない知られてはいけない
その瞳の奥涙を隠してる
daremo shiranai shirarete wa ikenai
sono hitomi no oku namida wo kakushiteru

夢のように時間を止めて
悲しみをそっと眠らせたまま
yume no you ni jikan wo tomete
kanashimi wo sotto nemuraseta mama

今でも
よみがえる記憶は傷だらけガラスのようで
刻み込まれてる明日を信じてる
imademo
yomigaeru kioku wa kizudarake garasu no you de
kizamikomareteru asu wo shinjiteru

願いを今この手に
真実を求めて
誰も知らないストーリ始まる
君がいるから迷い事はない
涙は流さないその日まで
negai wo ima kono te ni
shinjitsu wo motomete
daremo shiranai sutoori hajimaru
kimi ga iru kara mayoi koto wa nai
namida wa nagasanai sono hi made

まだ見る未来をおそれる事はない
目の前にある世界を信じるだけ
手にしたもの無くしたもの
全てにきっと意味があるから
mada miru mirai wo ozsoreru koto wa nai
me no mae ni aru sekai wo shinjiru dake
te ni shita mono nakushita mono
subete ni kitto imi ga aru kara

僕らは悲しみにくれても
喜びに道行かれてる
今を生きている君と歩いてる
bokura wa kanashimi ni kuretemo
yorokobi ni michi ikareteru
ima wo ikiteiru kimi to aruiteru

忘れないでいつでも
僕はここにいる
誰も知らないストーリはつづく
全てをかけて
守るものがある
確かなその思いを
つるぬいて
wasurenaide itsudemo
boku wa koko ni iru
daremo shiranai sutoori wa tsuzuku
subete wo kakete
mamoru mono ga aru
tashikana sono omoi wo
tsurunuite

過去も未来もかき混ぜるように
太陽が昇り始めて空へ
Kako mo mirai mo kakimazeru you ni
taiyou ga nobori hajimete sora e

ストーリ始まる
君がいるから迷い事はない
長い夜を超えよう
sutoori hajimaru
kimi ga iru kara mayoi koto wa nai
nagai yoru wo koe you

願いを今この手に
真実を求めて
誰も知らないストーリ始まる
君がいるから
迷い事はない
涙は流さないその日まで
negai wo ima kono te ni
shinjitsu wo motomete
daremo shiranai sutoori hajimaru
kimi ga iru kara
mayoi koto wa nai
namida wa nagasanai sono hi made

So after the showing of Gantz yesterday, it's to be assumed that they will be showing part two in the U.S. also, and if it's not decided already they're probably thinking about it.
Either way, I'm pretty sure most of us weren't pleased with the dubbed version that was shown to us. Even the actors themselves seemed unhappy with the result.The thing is, I'm happy that we were given the privilege of seeing it at all and I'm sure everyone else is too.

After poking around on the site for Fathom Events and for New People, they both have ways of being contacted. Fathom even has a feedback form. I think if we wrote polite, well thought out letters asking for the second part of the movie to be subbed rather than dubbed, we might see results.

The feedback form for Fathom Events is here.
And the email for New People is info@newpeopleworld.com

These are just ideas that I've thought out, you don't have to include all of them but it's what I feel would work. If you have any suggestions that you would like me to add to this list please ask me.

Ideas to include in your comment:

-Thank them for giving us the opportunity of seeing the movie
-Say we would be also grateful to be given the chance to see part two when it's released
-Politely say why subs are more beneficial than dubs (ex: emotion portrayed in film, etc.)

Any sort of feedback on this idea would be great, leave a comment if you'd like<3 8D

I'm making a huge list of all of the Arashi/JE related things I own just cause...well just cause bokuwashinigami said so. It'll get updated and fixed at some point xD

I am sorry to have two posts in one day but this isn't really an entry. I decided to try and share some graphics that I've started making :]
They're really simple right now but I'm still figuring out how to do fancier stuff.
Take if you'd like, comments are nice<3

There will be more whenever I make them.

As I am sure most of you know, our own snarky video game playing magician Nino is turning 27 on June 17th. This is a Trending Twitter project thought up by myself and arashifanatic. We are aware that there is already a community dedicated to tweeting JE events and dates, but we feel like they haven't been as effective in getting enough people involved, or very creative in the naming of their projects.

And thus, we have #Nintendomiya. It's pretty straight forward huh? Even the man himself would be happy with his title.

The idea is to trend #Nintendomiya

We would like to kick this off at 8 AM on June 17th JAPAN TIME and keep it going until 1 PM.
That would be 7PM June 16th until 12 AM Eastern Standard U.S.A time.
For further conversions of time, please do so yourself, unfortunately my math isn't that good. xD
EDIT: To convert to your time zone, please use THIS site as suggested by fujigaya<3
We hope to keep it going for around 4-5 hours, if more than that, that's great too!

For those of you who haven't participated in these projects before, there are some guidelines in order for your tweets to be counted

+You must have your tweets unlocked, meaning everyone must be able to read them. You can change this in your account settings
+You can type other things in your tweet but #Nintendomiya must not be attatched to anything else
+You can not just simply write #Nintendomiya, there must be other text with it.
+You can not attach any other hash tags in your tweet. [ex: #arashi and #nintendomiya can not be in the same tweet]
+You can't tweet the same things over and over again.
+No spamming
+Please do it at the designated time, if we all start together, it's more likely to trend faster.

And that's pretty much it :] All that's left is for everyone to have fun with it. If you guys would like, comment here and leave your Twitter username so we know you're in~
