I often ask myself, how much do I love this guy?
I may not agree with every decision he has made. I may sometimes feel disappointed with his actions. But hey, he's human and I accept that.
However, these are the times when I feel so happy and satisfied that I got to know a person like him... when I feel so proud to be his fan...
Last night, there were some problems at Vicpower. Jess, one of the admins, translated the post of a Thai fan regarding the problems at Zai's official site, V.I.C, specifically the problems with the English section. Other members of the English section, including myself, posted our comments too. It appears that V.I.C's English section is not being updated regularly compared to the other sections (Chinese and Japanese).
A few minutes before midnight last night, Zai replied to the post...
Complete English translation of Zaizai's reply on VICPOWER by wanpaku_doggy:
I got your comments... Would like to say sorry again to you all.. Just phoned the VIC staff to inform them about the situation! They had a meeting about all the problems today.
Of course the discussion is also about how to deal with this problem! I need to ask for your patience in waiting a little longer. The official site will have a huge adjustment these days.
So.. please excuse the inconveniences and give me another chance~ I won't let you down! Would that be OK?
Due to the reason that my computer still cannot access into the official site, so all I can do right now is to come here to catch some information about what happened there.
I will rearrange the jobs for all working staff in the official site~ And we will also consider to discuss with the able personnel in Vicpower in order to solve the problems~
Anyway, I sincerely wish that VIC will be a place that is as energetic as Vicpower!!
That will be all for today. Should any further news come up, the staff at official site will inform me and everyone!!
I just want you to know, a place for communication needs everyone's support to go on!
As the president, I am willing to do so!
Will you also join me and keep it going? If the answer is "Yes", I would like to say "Thank you!" Please kindly wait for further news.
I will go to work on it right now!
I was asked that "Why is that the fan meeting is only held in Japan? Why not also holding the fan meetings at other locations, including Taiwan?"
My answer is to solve the admission problem for places other than Japan first~ After solving these problems, I will go to each places to hold the fan meetings!! I will for sure to keep my promises!
Yet before doing that~ Shouldn't I solve all the problems with the official site first right now? I am trying my best doing it!
I will try my best! For all of you, my dear friends! Good bye!
If possible, please kindly translate this article to all the language sections to view!!! Sorry for having to bother you guys in Vicpower again! Thank you!!
-ZaiZai
I am very touched by his message. He cares so much for his fans. The fact that he took the time to reply to our concerns makes me feel that he considers our needs as important.
Some fans were actually indirectly reprimanding us for the pressure we are allegedly placing on ZaiZai. But the main problem with the English section, as some other thoughtful JMs who took up our cudgels explained, is that no one knows about our problems. All they know is the problem in mainland China where they couldn't access the site completely (because it is based in Taiwan).
So all we are asking is a chance for us to air our concerns and we need the help of other JMs to drive our point since we don't really speak the language. And I am very touched that there are a lot of kind JMs who willingly helped us to bring this matter to the attention of the proper parties (i.e., translating our posts to Chinese, writing a topic thread to catch Zai's attention, etc.).
And now, after Zai posted last night, the English section of V.I.C. has been updated already! He must have asked the staff to work overtime!
I'm almost teary-eyed here. (I'm currently updating here in school, lol!) It's just that since its inception, Zai has been personally involved with V.I.C I think he sees it as his own way of showing his appreciation to the fans (or his 朋友們 "peng you men"). Above all, he is the one who wants this site to be fully functional. This site is his labor of love. Hehe.
Zai, your hard work is very much appreciated. You don't have to apologize. As for this question, "Will you also join me and keep it going?" You don't have to ask, Zai.
