Arashi Fangirl Revolution
[In light of recent events I feel the need to post this. Please note I don't normally do serious posts like this but this is called for]
Has anyone else in the fandom noticed that its not the cheery/happy/rainbow/sunshine filled/Arashi fangirls days recently? People are feeling the effects of the negative energy moving over the fandom. Youtube deleting mass videos..even Veoh [R.I.P my Veoh account] and now it seems that the old "I'm going to put a logo on this video and call it mine cause I had it first and I'm selfish." thing has come back x10. If any of you guys are familiar with Arashian.com, well a few of us have been chosen for an Arashian.com subbing team. The only problem is finding videos that are logoed. This goes for anyone else coming accross watermarked videos. This causes extreme tension when a subber subs a logoed video and the "owner" gets pissed.
This should be a happy time. A CD and DVD release this month. All of the Arashi fans need to stick together and pull through this haze of copyrighted/selfishness. And not to mention all the "so called rumors". Why is everyone trying to bring our boys and us down? We won't stand for this!
The girls at Arashian.com are truly amazing. I'm thankful that I have friends such as those in this fandom. We will stick together no matter what. Hence the Arashi Fangirl Revolution was born. What is AFGR? Well its a cry out that Arashi fans are sick of all this blah and that no matter what goes on, what obsticals stand in our way we will be united and glide straight through the haze. NOTHING can keep an Arashi fan down...NOTHING!
We all need to pull together and make this fandom the best thing ever! Lets all go crazy with Arashi Rabu and flail and freakin sub videos ne?!! So I made this. I posed it in my siggy on Arashian.com as well as on my vox. If you'd like to show some support I encourage you to post it somewhere if you like as a sign to "Storm the Fandom" with Arashi Rabu and genkiness!
Please support the cause!
On a lighter note. I have officially claimed today April 15th 2008 my 1 year anniversery of getting into Arashi <3 Wow...a year...I really can't believe it...I love my stormy boys soooo very much!

Minna, be genki!!! Seriously, ne. I guess that happens with all fandoms. You run into some tensions... bad stuff happens. We can all learn from this and become a better arashi fandom, and remember what keeps us toegether & happy: arashi. So respect that, respect others, and all will be well! ^_^
I hate all this sudden negativity T______T I'm totally joining this cause!!!!
''Lets all go crazy with Arashi Rabu and flail and freakin sub videos ne?!'' yes!!! like we used to!!! bring the arashi rabu back!!!!!!!! <3333
(i also noticed the tension...)
I guess people just want to keep the drama going so they have to argue with you about your own personal opinion. Oh well...
Go AFGR! If people want a friendly place to fangirl where there is only genki-ness, come to:
http://www.arashian.com
Yes, like gwendy-chan has said, please please please join us at arashian.com! We'd love to have more people just as crazy as us! ^_^;;.
AFGR RULES~ ^_^.
Yes! EVERYONE, LET'S ALL BRING HAPPINESS AND RAINBOWS BACK TO THE Arashi fandom... plz? ;_;
This drama is not why I came to this fandom in the first place... It's all about the Arashi love... I'm sorry but I dont really know what a provider for a fandom is like... ^^; but I know that it must be a hard job! I really appreciate it more than you would know.
I know that spreading the love around is starting to become a selfish thing to do especially in streaming public sites but this is the only way the fandom will continue to live.. ;_; However that doesn't mean that we wont find another way to watch Arashi. I mean how many are there in this fandom? So many of us... If the Jimusho wants to stop us, he has to take us all down.
Hopefully, everything would settle down. I really missed the quiet freindly atmosphere everyone shared back then....
I'm all behind this movement. Seriously. The fans need to hear this lately. I support! >;O
Is it okay to save the image, upload it to my photobucket, and use it in my Arashian sig, too, if I credit you? My username is sourringo.
WOOH.. i thought i was the only one who though most of the subbed Arashi videos on Youtube, veoh, etc are going downn.. :) this is soo awesome
BANZAAAII~! :) AFGR :) wooh.. that's true. i mean we should all stick with one another ne? since we all loooooove the same ppl and truly support them with all our hearts ^__^.
i'm all for this movement. :)
seems that arashi fandom is not that vulnerable ne^^
this problem make us (new fans) suffer most.
coz if the uploader made their video f-locked or something
i don't think i will get it somewhere randomly.
new fans didn't know the unspoken rules and sometime act like another baka-girl who don't know how to appreciate the fandom life.
but pls don't keep the awesomenest of arashi for yourself and spread their rabu2 again so the fandom would keep stronger and i'm sure arashi will be happy to have another fans^^
YAY AFGR!!! *this april is my 1year anniversary too^^*
T__T) YES I SHALL JOIN!
People doing this are so self-centered and have no care for the group!
