I think fandom is doing great without me. :D I got a better perspective of things when I left. But actually, Tsubasa and T&T hurt too much... I can't go into details but I'm happy things are in a good place now with them. Just that Avex could do a much better job with the TEN cds... Seriously, the production of the cds and packaging is so cheap!
We should meet some day. I can give you lots of extra pamphlets and things that I have, for free! Is there anything you are missing? Cause I used to buy like 4 pamphlets of WWTP and stuff. Just let me know!
I'm glad things worked out for you <3 Fandom may be plodding along but you were definitely a big part of it! :D
Oh, you got the album already? Sweet! Mine should come on Friday, hopefully :D/ Do you like it? 絆も奇跡もここにある was incredibly sappy - they sang it while facing each other at tokyo dome as a montage of their pics went by on the big screen behind them :333
Funny you say that! I was just thinking that the other day :D I was looking through old ippen with a friend and we came across that one where he was right at your street :0000 We should definitely meet up :D/ Lemme know which weekend you're free :D I bought all the magazines that were out for their debut so we can flip through those too if you want~
Oooo freebies *________* Thank you! I think I have most of the debuted pamphlets... but I may be missing a calendar, some of the old junior pamphlets and some of the CD editions /:0\\\\\
Yeah I got my cds on Tuesday (9/11), from Amazon.co.jp. I just felt the production of the Cds was so cheap. I was expecting at least a digipak. Version A had like 4 disc and putting them all in the jewelcases was terrible. The discs were loose even before I opened it up.
To be honest, I've only listened to Disc 2, the one with the fan voted songs... I'm just too stuck in the old days... *sigh*
The sales are disappointing though...
Ahh the one outside my apartment building was #14, I believe. It still gives me the chills when I think about that. Oh Tsubasa!!!
Can you make a list of all the stuff that you are missing? I'll try to gather all that up and we can set a day to meet!
I've gotten to know so much about T&T through your old translations and reports, I wanted to thank you. ♥ My friends used to read your website and they've told me so many things I never would have known otherwise. I'm so glad you were here!
And I hope it's not too rude of me to ask, but what did Tsubasa do to break your heart? Are you talking about his wedding ring?
In any case, you've done so much for Western fandom, and I'm very grateful. Thank you! ♥
Hello! I apologize for my late reply. (>_<) I was actually just in Japan for a week and didn't check my livejournal until I got back yesterday! But thank you so much for leaving a comment!
And thank you for letting me know that you read my blog and reports when the site was up. :-) Even though I feel so embarrassed now about the things I wrote. LOL
About Tsubasa... I hope it's okay but I do prefer not to talk about it. I don't even know that he has a wedding ring now. He does?
Ooh, how was your trip? I just spent a few weeks in the US and came home to Japan. Mirror!trip. XD
I understand! I won't press for details but if I can just ask a general question, was it something he did on camera or off-camera? I don't mean to pry, so I hope you'll forgive my asking--my imagination is making up some terrible things. I am truly sad to know that you were a fan for so many years and then something he did ended that for you. Especially now that T&T fandom is like a second home for me, I wish we could have flailed together; I usually find Tsubasa's fans to be really sweet and engaging people, and T&T's tenth anniversary was such a time of married love it's been really fun. :)
He does! I made a post about it recently. Spoiled boy has a Tiffany's ring~ XD
The trip was great! Thanks for asking. But sometimes I do wish I lived in Japan so I wouldn't have to constantly take these 14 hour flights. XD
Ah... I deeply apologize if I'm now making everyone curious as to why I went on from T&T. (>.<) Actually it was all because of his mustache!!! Ok, just kidding. But I really do prefer not to talk about it. It took a very long time to get over him, to the point where I left Johnny's altogether. LOL
BTW I love what you are doing for the fandom now! About the ring, did Takki really give him that Tiffany ring?
I spent a few hours hunting the internet, and this is the last place I can find you. (Uh, that sounds kind of creepy, LOL).
I started reading your blog when I was a freshman in HS and my friend turned me onto T&T. All these years later, I still miss your writing, your musings, and your hysterical sense of humor. I've often thought of you and wished that you were doing well. I always looked up to you, and even though I have my own life now, sometimes I still yearn for the carefree days of coming home from school to read your latest thought pieces or "AHHHHH WORK IS KILLING ME!!!!" rants.
I hope you're doing well, wherever you are, if you ever get to see this. And if you have another blog -- like, about your real life & stuff -- I'd love to follow you there. If not, I guess I'll check back in in another decade or so. <3
