Arashi project - quotations and your thoughts about arashi

[vchan12.livejournal.com]

Hello to everyone reading this post,
I've been giving this arashi project a lot of thought now and I thought It's about time I start it. 
and because of that i'm going to need your help. 
So the project is going to be divided into 2 different categories 

1) YOUR favorite Arashi Quotations (magazines, interview, shows, songs) 

2) YOUR thoughts about Arashi (i.e., what role they played and how they impacted your life. for example, for me, because of arashi I met an awesome friend) 

Please be sure to include the japanese text as well as the english translation for both of these. 
You can ask someone to help you with your translation on 
lang-8.com 
For the 2nd option, you can also write in your native language, just to make it more international. 

You can write as many as you want. Just make sure it's not too long 
Maybe in bullet style instead of really long paragraphs as I will be writing each of these in small pieces of lucky star papers. 

Also, whenever you reply to this post, please indicate if it's from a song, magazine, interview etc. or if it's the 2nd option. So that it would be easier for me to categorize it. I want to track how many of each categories will I have. 

I would like to thank everyone in advance for helping me with these! 
Hontou ni ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU!!

Just a thought, but there are many in fandom who don't know Japanese, either in spoken or written form, hence their need for translations.

This sounds like a wonderful idea, but asking people to provide the original Japanese text might be improbable, if not impossible in many cases. If the source is a magazine article or from a TV show, copy/pasting the original Japanese text simply isn't an option. I think you might end up with a rather limited number of contributions for your project because of this requirement.

Best of luck, though! :)

♥ :O
I'll definitely write something out for this and send it to you as soon as possible.

I miss you <3
Let me know if you need any help with this project!

I miss you too!!!
I wish I didn't have to move. I really wanted to stay there in Halifax.
I don't have any fellow Arashi fangirls or even friends here.
I'm so sad... I've been really depressed lately.
I'm hoping that this year would pass by really quickly.

I think the first questions might be hard for many people. since lots of us don't understand Japanese or have poor understanding, hence the fact that they'd have to rely on translations provided which are quite limited *I'm also included unfortunately*...

The 2nd one is reasonable though ~...

Anyway, just some suggestion XD... Good luck with the project :)...

2. Looking at them always makes me feel like working harder. They brighten my day at times when I think I can't do anymore. :)

It's from a magazine but I forgot which magazine it was. Hope this helped. ^^

Actually, i haven't set up a deadline yet.
You can have as many inputs as you like for both options.
So you can post your favorite verses from all the songs you like. ^__^
i'm not really strict about the japanese text on the first option. So if you can't find them, it's also ok.
I just said that so that it would be a more japanese-like project
for your thoughts and gratitude towards arashi.
You can divide them into a couple of sentences so that it wouldn't be too lengthy. As i said, it has to fit into a lucky star paper.
I'll try to write as small as i can to fit all of them in one paper if you wrote a lot.
I want to make as many stars as i can.

hehe, I know exactly how you feel, but don't let that prevent you from writing your thoughts about them.
and considering that i didn't get a lot of replies yet, your input be really helpful in filling up my jar with lots of stars. hehe
and yes, you can write it in as many languages as you want.
I'm really flexible so i'm ok with practically anything ^__^

Thank you. :D

Okay. So I'll think of the right words to say very carefully. :D BTW, does it really need to be translated? I don't know how to use lang-8.com. lol
