Thanks to dekishimeta for having maintained this community until now. Yay, coolohoh for taking over and that this community won't die! That it just exists with a few posts every so often even if there's no weekly update makes me happy enough. 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.

ALL HAIL NIDAIME COOLOHOH XD (have you gotten your keynote XD)

Your new laptop then. Have you gotten it? XDDD I'm so clueless about Apple products omg but what I do know is that Sho has an Apple watch XD

ehehehe guilty XD

Thank you dekishimeta for mantaining this community until now. Like coolohoh said, hope you will come back to the community and find joy in it :)
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!

Thank you dakishimeta for the hard work!

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!

Yes! plus on tumblr you end up spamming ppl and on twitter there is the word limit! it's impossible x-x

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.

Do you have a tumblr? If you do, you can create a sideblog for the comm. I took the liberty to create a gifset (http://hp-amnos.tumblr.com/private/128577705013/tumblr_nubmlk1AVb1qbsxvx). You can use it if you want ^^ Oh I wasn't sure if it's arashi-bangumi or arashi_bangumi? Cuz both work on LJ. Just tell me which and I'll fix it~

Yes! To make the comments more fun xD

I was thinking a secondary so you don't have to log in and out from your account xD And yes, it's more convenient if you want to add members.

OK changed it! It should have been updated on the same link.
You're welcome~
