The Most Important Links in Fandom

[godsgirl7.livejournal.com]

I was thinking that, since requests keep popping up for various videos and such, it might be good to share a couple of the most important links in Arashi fandom! It actually surprises me how many people don't know about some of these, which are resources that I refer to all the time. Maybe by posting these links to the main comm, it'll stop requests before they start, because people will already know where to find things!

1. Yuckie-chan's list of pretty much every Arashi subbed file ever. If it's not here, it's not subbed, seriously. Requesting subs for something not on this list is 99% likely to be in vain (and will probably annoy people).

2. Arashi live performance archive. This list is amazing! It has, as far as I know, every Arashi live performance all in this one post, from pre-debut (!) until now. I don't think as many people know about this as about Yuckie-chan's list.

3. There's also this general JE subbed video index which is probably less complete than Yuckie-chan's list, but I dunno, it's good to have this link too? ^_^;;

4. last_of_days is the best source in Arashi fandom for raw videos, especially current ones. If it's not here, it's not on LJ.

5. The Arashidex, thanks to yuri_senritsu! I've never seen this one before, but it has some pretty cool stuff, especially for new fans.

6. Arashi fansub video project list, so you can see which subbing groups are currently working on which videos. Thanks to sella90 for this one!

7. Arashian's archive site, which is no longer updated and many of you know the main site no longer works, so there's nothing recent, but it's probably the best resource out there for old raw files. Thanks to eririna for reminding me! Also, she tells me that gyakukaiten is a good place for old raw files.

I hope these links can be helpful to some people who might not have known about them before! If there are any other links you guys think I should add to this list, let me know and I'll add them in!

Also ArashixDream

ArashixDream and Last of days are two best coms/site for Arashi raws ^_^

Thanks for the list ^_^

Re: Also ArashixDream

[godsgirl7.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! ^^ I only mentioned last_of_days because it's kind of a more central location, and it's been around a lot longer.

[yuri-senritsu.livejournal.com]

The Arashidex (http://arashi.fukanzen.net/group/) has a few lists of links that people might find helpful as well. :)

[godsgirl7.livejournal.com]

Oh hey! I think I've heard of this before but I've never actually seen a link. I'll add that in~ Thanks!

[yuri-senritsu.livejournal.com]

Coolbeans! :D

[sella90.livejournal.com]

and also this one too XDDD:

LJ Arashi fansub VIDEO project list

http://fecundeety.livejournal.com/11659.html

[godsgirl7.livejournal.com]

Oh cool! I think I knew this existed somewhere, but I've never seen the link. Thanks! I'll add it in. :D

[kangxy67.livejournal.com]

Maybe you should add in Stormy team, AST and Taijiproject as well? I understand that Yuckie-chan's list probably has all of this, so it's up to you to put this up or not. (:

[godsgirl7.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's why I didn't list them, since Yuckie-chan's list links to them all. ^^ I did think about it, but there are way too many Arashi subbing teams!

[chazarst.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for these links! :D

[leenoux.livejournal.com]

Hey thanks! This is helpful! :D

[taiikakun.livejournal.com]

♥ Yup, definitely helpful (:

[kittycurious.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the links :)

[mischi-14.livejournal.com]

thanks! bookmarking this one XD

[junenojun.livejournal.com]

how about the site of Sableheart. This is one of my first community I join :)
She is really awesome. She has both vox, and LJ. I think this is a very good source of Arashi raw file. In fact, sableheart create amazing list in Arashian file, but I think it cant access now.

Thank you godsgirl for sharing the list. It would be very helpful for the new fandom. However, most of those site are friend locked in order to protect stuffs. :)

[eririna.livejournal.com]

:3 you can still access Arashian Files, it's just no longer updated.

http://web.archive.org/web/20080214160921/arashianfiles.orgfree.com/ is the link :3

[godsgirl7.livejournal.com]

I should add that link, shouldn't I? *adds* :D

[godsgirl7.livejournal.com]

I don't know Sableheart's site? Although like eririna says, you can still access the archived version of Arashian. ^^

But yeah, all the friends locked comms are one of those inevitabilities of being an Arashi fan. I feel like I have to join a new comm every week. ^^;;

[kitto09.livejournal.com]

This is extremely helpful, I used to wonder where people got some of those pre-debut clips

Thanks so much for posting this :]

[yuanomiyuki.livejournal.com]

You are brilliant, thank you!! :)

[eririna.livejournal.com]

gyakukaiten is a great community for the older, rarer shows, although I think the files are all/mostly raw... but it really is a great resource :D

[nudrive.livejournal.com]

Ty for this :D

[aurorek.livejournal.com]

aariiigattouu~ I've always had problems with remebering those pages ^^" now I can put them to my bookmarks~ thank you~~

[smile-as-a-noun.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for this, they're all really useful links and the only one I had was Yuckie-chan's. Especially thanks to the person who provided the Arashidex link, because through that I found color-coded Arashi lyrics, which I have been looking for FOREVER. <3

I was wondering why I had a sudden influx of comments on my performance entry lol

Thanks for making this entry. It's great for new fans and is also a good refresher for old fans as well!

[godsgirl7.livejournal.com]

lol Your performance entry deserves for people to know about it! It's ~amazing~, because I would have no idea where else to find old performances besides your post. ^^

You're welcome! I learned a few new things too. ^^

[ferfa.livejournal.com]

Thank you for posting this, it's really useful.
I didn't know about the performances archive *__________*



(And I'm kinda MIA this year, but thank you for mentioning last_of_days, Gwen really does an amazing job)

[godsgirl7.livejournal.com]

I think a lot of people didn't. I don't even remember how I found out about it, but when I did, I was like *_____* BOOKMARKING.

Of course! I don't know where I would be without that comm. You guys are both fantastic. :D

[pititee.livejournal.com]

Thanks for that list! It's really really useful! And it's certaintly a good way to avoid extra uneccesary requests/questions to all the subbers/uploaders! :)

I'm so glad to see that people in this fandom are not just super nice, everyone is also super organized and generous!!!

[dragonrider888.livejournal.com]

Thanks for putting this list together. I've come across most of these amazing sites already since becoming an Arashi fan a yr ago and plodded clumsily into the world of fandom, guided by many helpful fans. Your list will definitely be helpful to new fans
