[MOD] Comprehensive Arashi Links

[noesunexito.livejournal.com]

Hello girls, in case you haven't noticed we've welcomed a new mod, [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]. LET'S ALL MAKE HER NOT NERVOUS K? I promise you'll all love her because she's more generous than I am.

Anyway, the point of this post is very soon along with the face lift (congrats to [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] again!, you should all marvel at the hot new layout! she made. tell me which prize you want too!) I will be doing some other changes to the community to try to solve a few problems such as massive crossposting and whatnot. To start off I'd like to compile a comprehensive listing of all communities on LJ that would possibly offer any sort of Arashi-related material as well as a listing of non-LJ Arashi sites that are worthy of attention.

Therefore, I would humbly request that all you girls help me out with any sites that you really like relating to arashi and JE, or sites where you get your arashi goods from/good clubboxes and the like. I'd like to keep all these sites in English but if there's some random chinese site with good pictures plz do tell.

I will start off with LJ communities and some sites I frequent:

ARASHI
[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] = like the name says a place for any type of arashi media file.
[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] = although it's supposed to be for all jvariety shows, it has been notoriously Arashi centric.
[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] = arashi icons
[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] = general arashi picture community.
[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] = OUR MORTAL ENEMIES!!11 j/k the other arashi community.
SPECIFIC MEMBER COMMUNITIES
[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]

JE IN GENERAL
[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]
[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]

Shameless Plug
[Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] = Translations that are JE centric

JE forums
The Jdorama Arashi Thread = tends to trip balls over random rumors but an excellent place to gank from
Arashian = Just for arashi but I don't really use it so I don't know how good it is.
Absolute Baka
Pretty Boy Forum = They claim they encompass all "pretty boys" but it's pretty much just a "OMG NEWS!! KATTUN!!! Kanjani8?!11 oh yeah there's other people in JE too" forum.
Idolthoughts = no opinion yet because I don't really go there.

Blogs
Happi*Storm = Excellent info blog

Sites
Amnost.net = Good starting place
Clubhouse Arashi = Downloads
Random Nino Site

LJ syndication
Dobu's Journal = another good informational blog although she doesn't update that often.

So please add in whatever sites I've missed!

I love the new layout :D

[essie07.livejournal.com]

V.HOT LAYOUT.

Dang, that's a pretty comprehensive list. Haha, how come no blurb for Abaka? Got nothing good to say about them?

<3<3<3

[noesunexito.livejournal.com]

I feel like whatever I say about a-baka there will be people who'll be all like "WHAT THAT'S NOT TRUE THEY'RE MUCH SUCKIER/BETTER THAN THAT!!!11" and plus it's pretty popular so I feel like there's no explaination needed.

[essie07.livejournal.com]

That's true.

LOL, lemme guess... you've been playing with transparent GIFs, haven't you? Haha, if you save them as transparent PNGs, they retain the pretty cut out bits as anti-aliased. But I don't know if Safari works with those kind of PNGs... I know IE hates them because my layout looks crappy in IE.

[noesunexito.livejournal.com]

Yes I have! I'm obsessed with transparency because they're just so awesome. I save all mine as transparent pngs because they're higher quality. I did this transparency with COLOR TRANSPARENCY!!!

[seraphik.livejournal.com]

Nice layout!!! ♥ Thanks for putting it up and the welcome *heehee* I'll try my best to keep law and order here and ensure that everyone is loaded with goodies ever so often!~

for clubbox links, here are some that I dl stuff from:

hot3810
hirogi
arwenna
my12
lakyniu
jbackhouse
oc244
minshutsao
♥

hmmm... I don't go to any forums coz I'll probably be bitch-slapped there sooner or later XP

[noesunexito.livejournal.com]

Miraculously, no one has bitch slapped me at the forums. I guess it's because I mostly just go in, save scans and post my translations/fanart up and that's it. I don't really participate in discussions because most of the discussions are dumb.

[dream-raine.livejournal.com]

and I admit I'm guilty for making j_varietytv arashi centric..XD

[noesunexito.livejournal.com]

You should link us! Link exchanges = awesome.

[dream-raine.livejournal.com]

you mean in the user info..? sure, no problem

[hitori-asobi.livejournal.com]

This layout is hot sexy

[noesunexito.livejournal.com]

It's sophisticated, because we r sophisticates.

[originaru.livejournal.com]

General JE forum, the girl who opened it runs amnos.net as well :D

[renrui.livejournal.com]

AWESOME layout :D

[kittycat02.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if this will help, but quite a while ago, I created a post with all of the JE links I knew about. It hasn't been updated in a month or two, so there are still a few links that need to be added, but there's a lot on there. It's here (http://community.livejournal.com/johnnys_daily/2494.html) if you're interested. Hope that helps a bit ^^

And by the way, the new layout looks amazing!

[shini-no-shisha.livejournal.com]

well it's not Arashi centric but jdramas offers many subbed dramas (those made by the Arashi as well can be found there as long as they are subbed)

Theres that map place..

[squints63.livejournal.com]

where arashi fans post their zip code and find one another on a map. (ˆ-ˆ)

I've just realized I uploaded the wrong image for the divider (the one with their faces). If you look closely there are some images behind them. I forgot to delete that out *doh*. Anyway I've updated the new image at my photobucket so it's fixed now and here's the new divider (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v330/dinadrama/arashion/divider-arashion1.jpg) for keeps sake.

Hmm pressies, pressies heeeeeee are you guys for real, like really, really giving out those excellent stuffs? Cause up till now, I still can't grasp the realness of it lol. I keep thinking I may have read wrong somewhere but if it is.........I'd very much love to own the Arashi Photo Holder *blushes*

[seraphik.livejournal.com]

*LOL* I don't have an arashi photo album (that's what you are asking about right??) well at least not an official Jyannis one. I do however have tonnes of arashi photos, which I can do some reprints of (if you don't mind). + an arashi ticket holder album. hmmm... what else? I also have some extra con pamphlets *LOL* I'll post pics of possible prizes soon.... *___*

[dinadrama.livejournal.com]

Oh I was referring to the ones here (http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/144940.html). Ermm not too sure if those are the prizes noesunexito were referring to.

Anyway never have I come across a fandom contest that gives out real material ♥ ♥ ♥. I'm like going oooooooh and aaaaaah looking at them ^_^. I'm still not letting myself get too excited about it, just in case I've interpreted it wrong lol.

[noesunexito.livejournal.com]

Done and done! Just email me your address and I'll send it on over xiuxux@gmail.com

[hontowa.livejournal.com]

Is anyone else unable to see pictures on amnos.net (I'm not just talking about the Arashi gallery, but like..the layout of the site and everything), or is that just me? Also, the clubhouse arashi site never seems to load for me either. I just get a blank page o.O Does this happen to anyone else or do I just have a weird computer? ^^;
