We finally got everything settled: We had the list of organizers, plans and programs laid out, venue and schedules settled, working on financial matters (as always) and what we need now are ATTENDEES and PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO GIVE PERFORMANCES for the event!!!
We are inviting YOU (yes YOU who's reading this) and Arashi/JE fans to come to our "JOIN THE STORM" Event. Forget Ondoy and Pepeng! "JOIN THE STORM" is a collaboration event of Arashi's 10th Anniversary and Ohno's 29th Birthday Bash.
WHEN: Nov. 28, 2009 - 3PM-9PM
WHERE: Dansalan Gardens Sky Lounge, Boni Mandaluyong (near MRT Boni station)
EVENT DURATION: OVERNIGHT (those who will stay overnight will have to share for the room fee) but guests are NOT.. Again, NOT required to stay overnight.
FEE: PhP 270
SUGGESTED ATTIRE: Arashi Cosplay/anything Japanese Inspired (no need to be in costume or anything.. If possible, just a touch of Japan in your outfit). Again, this is SUGGESTED attire ^-^ If you really can't come up with any Japanese inspired costume, of course you're still welcomed to come ^-^
List of Attendees:
HERE [updated 11.05]
You can see DANSALAN GARDENS as soon as you get off MRT Boni station. It's a huge, green, 3 building estate.. If you're still unsure, go ask the tricycle drivers. They know the place and can even bring you there if you're too lazy to walk.

What do we ask from you?
- Just join us and email/PM/YM this registration info to any of the organizers:
- Full name:
- Birthday:
- First fanmeet? (Y/N): If not, please indicate the number of times (that is you can still remember it.. Lolz~) you have attended Arashi fanmeets
- Ichiban:
- Email/s:
- Mobile Number/s:
- What do you want to have/experience on this party? Please don't hesitate to put in all (and I mean ALL) your thoughts. We want to make the event memorable AND special to all Arashi fans (regardless of the group/community they belong to).. We (the organizers) will TRY our very best to meet your expectations of the party ^_^
- Will you be staying overnight? (Y/N):
- To Minors (17 & below): PARENTS' CONSENT! As in letter or note (with parents' signature) or email or text message (from parents) or have your parents CALL me to affirm that you are allowed to attend~ Why? Continue reading to item 6 for our reason..
- Attendance (there won't be any party if there are no attendees so please do come *doggy eyes* )
- We are accepting early comers so for those who will come as early as 1PM or 2PM, we assure you that you won't be bored since we have activities lined up for the early birds.
- On the other hand, minna.. Please do come in time.. Lolz~
- This is an overnight event but it doesn't mean guests are REQUIRED to stay overnight. We decided to make the event overnight for fans who came from really far places (Baguio, Cavite, Laguna, Bulacan, etc.). This is for safety reasons. Instead of commuting home late at night, why not go home early the next day? =p Overnight stay is open but not required for all guests.
- Please do continue to check this post until the date of the said event. We will be posting updates here timely.
- To Minors (17 and below): PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (repeats 10000x) DO NOT SNEAK OUT OF YOUR HOMES NOR LIE TO YOUR PARENTS JUST TO ATTEND THE EVENT! As much as we want fangirls to come, we (as organizers and one-chans) still don't approve of you guys sneaking out or telling lies to your parents just to attend the event. Why? It gives Arashi fandom AND Arashi negative impression to parents.. Ask nicely and if they need people to contact, PM me and I'll be more than willing to talk to your parents. I'll even give them my contact details just to assure that you guys are in safe hands.. Us asking for parents' consent is just a way to show respect to your parents and a way of making them feel ensured that their children are in safe hands.. Again.. DO NOT LIE OR SNEAK OUT!!! *palo*
- Please help us to spread the word through forums, blogs, sites, YM, etc. Feel free to bring your Arashi fan friends too ^-^
Please help us make this event into one huge Arashi fans gathering! Bring your Arashi and JE fan friends along! Let's make this event a memorable one. Thanks so much in advance and hope to see you all on November 28 ^-^ Mark your calendars; Save the date!
