Closing up shop, lovelies
Hi everyone,
If you follow me on tumblr, you might have read what you've probably already known for some time and that is me leaving the K8 fandom. I've been a fan since pre-debut and I always thought I'd be a hardcore follower until we all became old and withered (I'm around their age anyway), but life changes, priorities change, and things happen.
First off, all of you are AMAZING community members. I didn't see a single file of mine reuploaded anywhere and I would do periodic checks if I remembered. So thank you for being great people. If you did share, you probably did a great job of hiding the file name, but whatever, as long as it wasn't blatantly out there like what I've seen people do to other subbing groups. I'm not leaving because of other groups or fans... I actually don't interact with them at all.
I'll be moving to Asia (again... I know, I was in Japan for a while and then I moved back to Canada for work and now I'm moving again for work), so I'm trying to get rid of my collectibles because they've been cherished and deserve to go to loving fans like yourself.
If enough interest is generated, I'll get on with compiling a more comprehensive list of the things that I'm willing to let go. Be warned that I do live in Canada where shipping to other countries can be ridiculous, but we'll worry about that later.
For now, here's a general break down of the things I'm willing to sell (prices to follow):
If you can wait until next year (haha I know), I'll be visiting family in the summer and can bring back goods with me to Korea to sell from there. The shipping will be way better for those of you who live in Asia. That's just an alternate arrangement if you can wait. My stuff won't be going anywhere unless there are tons of people who want to buy from me.
As for the community, I won't be running it any longer, but I will unlock all posts. I realize that this might be unfair to all of you who applied for membership, but keep in mind that you all got to download stuff YEARS in advance, so I think it's okay now. I think all the links still work, but if they don't, I'll reupload.
THANK YOU FOR BEING AWESOME AND SUPPORTIVE. I've already received some really kind messages from those of you who follow me on tumblr.
Please keep your eye out for my very last summary. I promised the Tendou Yoshimi episode of Janiben and you can look forward to it some time in the beginning of August.

For now, here's a general break down of the things I'm willing to sell (prices to follow):
- most of the big 3 idol magazines (Wink Up, POTATO, Duet) from 2008-2009
- 8EST merchandise like the canvas bag and music box
- Eight Ranger light stick
- CDs (1st press Hesomagari both versions, MINT 1st press versions of their Kan Fuu Fighting single WITH COLOUR STRAPS!)
- a ton of shop pictures (mostly concert sets but I do have actual shop ones, a LOT of Subaru solo pictures... haha)
- DVDs (8uppers, KJ2, Jukebox)
- albums (FTO, FIGHT)
