arashi_bangumiHi everyone! It's good to see you all again.. well if you remember me that is... :P It's been a while since I found time to do reviews after all.
Anyway, you've probably figured out by now that this post is not a review (sadly). Instead, I've got some news to share with everyone today.
1) I'm taking over the maintenance of this community from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dekishimeta who has left the fandom. Thank you for all your hardwork maintaining the community thus far! All the best in your future endeavors, and maybe someday you'll rediscover the five dorky old men and come back again... :)
2) I'll do my best to liven up this community. But really there's only so much I can do alone. That means we need YOU. Yes all you people looking over your shoulders and wondering who I'm referring to... there's no one else but you! Be it writing more reviews or just leaving a comment or to... or spreading the word about the community... every little bit of participation counts!
3) I'll like to give the community a little refresh... I'm working on updating the masterpost (then again, there's only so much creativity you can do with a masterpost). Perhaps a new banner? Or how about a banner competition? For that we need PARTICIPANTS though! So do let me know if you are interested.
4) Suggestions are welcomed! Any activities we can possibly hold... how about weekly discussion threads? Again, they would fall flat if no one participates :( We need your participation to make this community successful.
5) That's all for now! Looking forward to your comments and reviews! See you again soon!

Date: 2015-09-07 06:40 am (UTC)Too many closed and indefinitely inactive Arashi communities makes me sad.Hail nidaime!I wonder, do you know about this other community called ara-discussions on lj? Wait, there's a reason I brought it up randomly, lol. I joined it and I was so psyched to be participating in discussions, but I don't know, somehow or other I can't bring myself to write down anything. It's a bit...underwhelming how little participation there is in fandom nowadays (and I'm a part of the not-participating bit). Yet, hypocritically I believe ara-discussions and this community, arashi-bangumi should still be kept running just for the mere fact that I believe in what these communities are supposed to do. I know besides lj I'm a part of other forums on other sites and even there discussions are so hard to cultivate. I don't know. Keep trying and one day lurkers like me might come out of the shadows every now and then to throw out a thought.
A new banner would be nice.

Date: 2015-09-07 08:13 am (UTC)I don't join in much discussions there too, sadly... I just don't have much to talk about unfortunately.
Like you said, it's hard to get people to actually participate and chat with each other on LJ so yeah... Even on the aibaka forums it's been so quiet.
I'm just throwing around ideas and hoping to get some feedback, I'm glad you replied! XD

no subject
Date: 2015-09-07 08:59 am (UTC)i made a new masterpost cos well... i have to, i can't edit dekishimeta's posts cos that's the way lj is.
so i wanted to redo the formatting and stuff so it's not so messy... and then i redid all the links ALREADY. and then accidentally closed the tab. luckily i posted it earlier already but still more than half the links are gone. over an hours work. wtf... I'm crying now seriously.
apple watch... i haerd sho's in the gold edition, which sells for anywhere from 10k to 17k. USD of course. no idea how much that leather belt version costs.
gahhh I'm sadded.
no subject
Date: 2015-09-07 09:23 am (UTC)HE HAS A LEATHER BELT VERSION? I only saw the one on his wrist whaaat wait what leather belt version are we talking about
:((
no subject
Date: 2015-09-07 09:29 am (UTC)The Apple watch strap my dear. You can mix and match and pick any watch strap you want... but the price of each watch strap is different.
no subject
Date: 2015-09-07 10:15 am (UTC)Ohhhh I see so he has two versions. What the hell how bloody rich is he

Date: 2015-09-07 07:44 am (UTC)Btw, hello nidaime coolohoh~ Thank you for taking the responsibility as a mantainer in this community.
A new banner will be nice :3 I will consider participating to make a new banner if my mood strike. Well, I don't have that much creativity that's why xD
Also regarding discussion. Actually kanu_x has mention it before but there's other community focusing on weekly discussion post. It's ara-discussions@LJ; I sometimes participate in that community if I like the theme. Since weekly discussion has it's own place. I think it's better to use this community as other means but I can't come up with anything :/ Sorry!
no subject
Date: 2015-09-07 08:16 am (UTC)Yup, I know or ara-discussions... I definitely don't want to clash with what they are doing... but at the same time some kind of member interaction here would be nice... or if we can get more people to do reviews and readers make comments.
I'll definitely advertise the comm on arashi_on... once I get the masterpost revamped and some stuff written out :)
no subject
Date: 2015-09-07 02:13 pm (UTC)Honestly, even when I haven't review often in this comm, I really like it and have recommended it to ppl who asked about the tv shows ♥ So it's good to see that it's not closing.
I miss the fandom being on LJ tbh I myself am on tumblr all day but even starting conversations there is difficult cuz of tumblr format. I'll try to participate whenever I can from now on! And I'll also help promoting the comm on tumblr :D
Also thank you coolohoh for taking over!
no subject
Date: 2015-09-07 02:23 pm (UTC)I'm sad too, by how everyone seems to be leaving LJ... I wonder if there's anything we can possibly do to reverse the trend :(
no subject
Date: 2015-09-07 02:55 pm (UTC)Idk... I think is a combination of many factors (lack of raws, subs, translations, posts in general on arashi_on) that made people turn to other more active sites (in my case, I like making gifs so tumblr was it for me u.u).
All I can think of is just keep on encouraging conversation by promoting the comm =/ How about creating a tumblr to do just that? Linking to the posts so it can reach more people? I can help with that.
no subject
Date: 2015-09-07 02:57 pm (UTC)Yeah I think the series of rule breakers kill the lj community... :(
Maybe you can post your tumblr gifs here too! XD
no subject
Date: 2015-09-08 05:14 am (UTC)Yes! To make the comments more fun xD
no subject
Date: 2015-09-08 05:20 am (UTC)The good thing is that with a secondary acct I can add more people to help me manage it...
I think it's arashi_bangumi (looking at the banner). In the url it becomes arashi-bangumi though.
Oh and thanks for the gifset!!!
no subject
Date: 2015-09-08 05:55 am (UTC)OK changed it! It should have been updated on the same link.
You're welcome~
