Thanks ShanghaiGal!! SUCKS!!
Have any of you sent a postcard for the DVD requesting??? I have sent mine the past week, before Christmas.
J-Storm sucks!! Jun, please try to make them release One Con DVD!!

BAD NEWS FOR NEW YEAR! grumble:

:banghead: I want my Con DVD!!!! :rofl: :fingerscrossed:

Ah....this is really sad news ne!!

Why oh why no DVD!!! Is J-storm underestimating the power of our boys?? :beatyou: :beatyou: :beatyou: :beatyou: :beatyou:

I wonder if the fans in Japan are going to take the campaign to the next level. Anyone who visits the Japanese fans forum please keep us inform, we have to show them the power of the overseas fans too!!!

Since I don't have much knowledge on how the JE management works, can someone kindly tell me whether this is something very unusual (not releasing concert DVD)? I have read that fans of KinkiKids have requested a concert DVD before, but is that the only case we know from the JE history?

Just doesn't understand why JE won't take this opportunity to make more $$$ from us, unless...unless... :shamefulcry: don't even want to think about the reasons now :shakehead:

I listened to today's Jun Style again carefully. Here's my personal opinion.

After the part quoted by Shanghaigal, he said (after Sakura Sake, around 16:00 min.):

‚â‚Á‚Ï‚èA‰Ä‚̃Rƒ“ƒT[ƒg‚ÌDVD‰»‚́A¡‚ñ‚Æ‚±‚È‚¢‚»‚¤‚Å‚·B‚Í‚¢B¡‚àu‚¢‚½‚ñ‚Å‚·‚ªB‚Í‚¢BŽc”O‚È‚ª‚çBJay Storm‚³‚ñA‚Ç‚¤‚È‚Á‚Ä‚é‚ñ‚Å‚µ‚傤‚ˁB

From the nuance of his words, I felt that he had not totally given up yet. He said u¡‚ñ‚Æ‚±v(for the moment) i.e. you never know what happens in future. You still have (a slight) chance to change the situation.
And he said uJ Storm ‚³‚ñA‚Ç‚¤‚È‚Á‚Ä‚é‚ñ‚Å‚µ‚傤‚ˁvi.e. he's not convinced by what J Storm told him. i.e. he knows that it's possible if they decide to do so. I assume that they've got enough material to make the DVD. If Jun thinks/knows that they have no material in the first place, then he wouldn't have insisted.
I won't give up and send my card tomorrow.

Moku2, thanks for giving in your opinion/understanding from Jun's talk. I agree, this is definitely not the point where we give up YET!!!

Can someone who knows Japanese show me one or two simple phrase that says: We want ONE DVD to be released (of course in appropriate format/tone, dun wanna piss them off at this point :doh:, not time yet....) Thank you thank you thank you :bow:

Then I will send them like 10 postcards all at once, trying to flood J-storm with my nagging :metaldevil:

(dunt have the power to translate now.....its basically what i wrote above)

darn! i wonder why they cant make it.
probably because of the queen "we will rock you" copyright and matsuken samba copyright.

argh!!! whatda?!?! gawd! why not make a dvd!!!?!?!? how are we supposed to watch it?!?! us overseas fans who wasnt able to watch their live concert?!?! gawd! bummer!!!! :(

thanks for sharing what jun said

ohhhhh...JUN! please convince them to make a dvd!!! waaaaaahh!!! i wanna see the stage that you conceptualized!!!!!!!

I dont think the Queen song and the matsuken samba is any problem coz they can always cut that part out and it wouldnt affect much. Honestly compare to the how it's going concert and Iza now concert the ONE concert is a little weak (I went and saw it at yoyogi). Secondly, Arashi's concert prolly wasnt selling good enough, and I mean as much as Kat-tuns and Kinki kids. Maybe the profits arent big enough for J-storm... inside Japan that is. I know Arashi stuff is selling well outside.
I personally hope that they'll change their mind and release a DVD coz I want to buy it :mrgreen:

:jumpie: :wave:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!:jumpie: :wave:

Shirahime, are our boys really losing appeal in Japan **worries**?

Why does everything have to be inside Japan? Why does J-Storm have to be so inward-looking? :angry: Sorry for ranting but am so upset 'cos I soooo wanted to buy their ONE concert DVD. :banghead:

I hope that J-Storm will reconsider their decision and release ONE concert DVD. That will be a great start to the new year. :fingerscrossed:

:yippee: May the year of 2006 be a GREAT GREAT year for Arashi and Arashi fans :yippee:

i'v just read from the jun's thread bout the bad news...can't even bother to read what you guys hav posted... too painful :puppydog:

i'm not actually crying but it hurts :pout:

DAMN YOU OLD GEEZER YOU KITAGAWA YOU!!!

ummm can we do something? maybe an online petition asking support from all arashi fan all over the world who is willing to buy the dvd?
just a suggestion...

I just posted about that in jun's thread, but I'll crosspost here as well:

aicchuu has posted the English version of the Japanese fans petition in her blog, see here: http://happistorm.blog28.fc2.com/blog-entry-60.html

Although in the "how it works" section, it has mentioned to send the "New Year Greeting" postcard to the J family club, but I think we should still keep sending the postcards even it's after New Year.

I posted a request in this thread to ask someone who writes Japanese to kindly show me some simple phrases I can write on the postcard. Also, I plan to write my request in English and my own language (with"Arashi One Summer Tour DVD" in bold of course) to show them the demand of the overseas market :fingerscrossed:

hi all~ HAPPY NEW YEAR eve~ haha~! :bonk:
tokki2005 thx so much for the link! it seems like the only time i can enter the clubhouse is midnight~ (guess there is less traffic?)

and anybody know the address where i can send JE postcards to? (but they won't send them back, and will actually look at them right? because i sent my hubby from kinki kids once a bday gift, but it got send back to me, 'cause i wasn't in their fanclub! :shamefulcry: ) ... i'm sooooo gonna send them like 20 postcards! this is just unacceptable! One con was our boys 5 years anniver. con!!!!! :banghead: i so wanna see the movable stage and nino naked! :bonk:

and i agree w/ tokki2005! 2006 will be a busy and exciting year for arashi... w/ all those movies/solo cons/theatre plays going on!

:woot: so let's not lose hope guys! cheer up! we need to believe in our boys! :woot:

and remember....if anybody can drop off JE address, that'll be great! thx!

pink dragon: for the postcard send to address, this is posted in aicchuu's blog

I have also heard that Johnny's would return all gifts sent to their artistes, maybe in fear that there will be "Big Danger" (in Aiba-chan's words) inside the gifts??

But if we just send postcards, then at least they still see our messages even if they insist to return them.

I agree with you, I am so going to send multiple postcards to get my message cross to the Johnny management!

i kind of don't understand on the sending postcard thingy.. :sweat:
it would be lovely to suffocate jstorm under our mountains of postcards but i was thinking bout this
http://www.petitiononline.com/petition.html
but of course its in english... & alot of the fans that matter to kitagawa eyes is the local market.. so.. the language barier.. how to give the result to jstorm.. so..* :argh: can't think straight coz i'm too tired :argh:*
i personaly think the banner kind of not working :beaten: :sweat: :beaten: :sweat: (tho' really apreciate the effort :bow: :bow: :bow: )
i'm don't think mr kitagawa (or jstorm management) would hang around in forums & stuff :sweat: :beaten: :sweat:

OK, some examples:
a) —’‚ÌONE ƒRƒ“ƒT[ƒg‚ÌDVD‰»A‚¨Šè‚¢‚µ‚Ü‚·B
b) —’‚Ì2005”N‰ÄƒRƒ“‚ÌDVD‚ðo‚µ‚Ä‚­‚¾‚³‚¢B‚¨Šè‚¢‚µ‚Ü‚·B
c) —’‚Ì2005”N‰Ä‚̃Rƒ“ƒT[ƒg‚ðDVD‰»‚µ‚Ä‚­‚¾‚³‚¢B
d) (as a headline) —’‚̉ăRƒ“DVD‰»Šó–]
Please switch parts according to your preference, and give variety to the phrases as it will be better than that everyone uses the same phrase. At least a title in Japanese will help the message to be conveyed to the right person in the shortest time.

I think you don't have to worry too much about formalities. your message with your own words will appeal more to them and, as you Tokki2005 says, letters written in foreign languages will make them aware of the presence of the fans overseas.

I hope that "2005”N‚ÌŒ»ó‹µ" (status of 2005) will be changed in 2006 (maybe by us???)!

Not loosing but just not as popular as other popular johnny's. SMAP is the most popular, although I can't understand it at all, Kinki Kids also sells a lot and Kat-tun is so popular among the young girls.

I guess because everything is in japanese? The main market is still inside Japan. But as some ppl here suggesting, send postcards to J-storm and JE, that'll help. Tackey&Tsubasa is actually a lot more popular outside japan like Thailand and so on, that's why their in new coming single there's thai, korean and chinese version of the song. By recieving postcards from all over the world demanding the ONE DVD to be release I think that'll show them how large fanbase Arashi has outside Japan.

That's why I was asking if any of you have sent a postcard. I HAVE SENT MINE ALREADY!! So, if you want to send it too, ask for help here! In the mail service told me my postcard will be in J-Club in January 3th.
I wrote it in Japanese and English, and I specified WE ALL WANT THE DVD!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!:woot:
After all, we have received the worst new today, but I hope you have a very happy new year!! Best Wishes!!

All info about One Con DVD postcard, you will find in my blog, but if you have any question, ask here!!
Arashi Overseas fans can help on this too!!

I'm currently participating in J-BBS, so any information I will post here or in my Blog!!

We have to believe in our boys!! Jun-kun is trying to convince J-Storm staff release the DVD, and the other boys maybe are helping too.

I still don't understand why they don't want to release a DVD that will be a best seller. They gonna make money with it, why not release it?? :crazy:
