So... today I wanted to write another chapter for the second volume of Upside-Down, but then, I've got lazy and switched to watch 90210... and then, after finishing episode 22, I thought I would re-try the writing thing... well, I'm done with Track #3 ... huhuhu... XD It's a very weird chapter, but it'll take sense later... I think I've already said that I've got all the chapter's set list ready, and the storyline of this part aswell... We're just getting into this new part... and learning about characters that had been quiet until now... If you haven't download the first Volume yet, I don't know what you're waiting for!
I guess it's time for the special delivery, to the reader-proof's e-mail list ;P
I came tonight with intentions to watch something, maybe surf a little while around Facebook and LiveJournal... but I ended up looking for last NANA's scanlations and spotting a very amusing picture of Kamisen showing their underwear... XD well, that's an old pic for sure! And suddenly I felt the rush to keep with my fanfic. So I started writting the 8th chapter. I've already got the next 7 chapters' storyline planned, and after that, the first volume ends. Because the story is concieved as a cd-album, and it won't have more than 20 or 22 chpaters, nor less than 10 or 10 (depending on the parts) for each part. The main title remains being Upside-Down, but each part will have it's on title, because each part is like a cd album.
I won't stay too much writting tonight though, because tomorrow I still have to work, but well, I hope I can make at least half of chapter 8... XD
I've told you I would start posting about me and my fanfic. So, it's been a while, but last weeks I only got lazy, I stopped right after chapter 6, and I'm taking my time to proceed from chapter 7 to 10. I've already written half of chapter 7, and last Thursday I was reading the whole thing to find the mistakes, and gaps in the story.
Well, it's a nonsense subject to start with, but the plot gets very tasty... specially having the whole Johnny & Associates in the story.
My friends keep pushing me to write, that's why I decided not to update them until I had 4 more chapters. Mean? Hell yeah! I'm really enjoying writing this, I never though I would want to start this fanfic writer hobby again. I've already planned a few stories more to write after Upside-Down, and one could even have illustrations to accompany it, but that one will take too long to get created. It's an old one I used to write in my teens, and I've completly lost the whole file, so I shall re-create it again, and it's such a complicated one.
So, tonight I'll stop in here, because I want to finnish chapter 7 ;) You'll know I'll post the story to be read publicly once I've got it all done.
cya,
O~Rei.
Estimados amigos, os escribo dos meses después de la primera experiencia
de unas jornadas sobre shojo, doramas y Johnny Entertainment (HanaDan Shojo)
para comunicaros la iniciativa que estamos llevando a cabo algunos de los
que colaboramos en ese pequeño evento. Se trata de un sello que estamos lanzando para toda actividad en la que
se proyecten doramas (J-dramas, K-dramas, TW-dramas...), vídeos, conciertos, etc.
del Johnny Entertainment o simplemente se hagan charlas, quedadas o qualquier
cosa relacionada con los temas anteriores y también con el Shojo Manga. Para ser más explícitos, algunas de estas actividades se han incluído dentro de
las actividades semanales de entidades como Brigada S.O.S.o Japan House
Ambas asociaciones han programado proyectar un dorama al mes (primeros capítulos),
bajo dicho sello.
Éste es solo un ejemplo, otro sería una kedada que se está organizando para los
próximos meses dónde se proyectarían algunos vídeos de JE (Johnny's) en un local
abierto al público.
El nombre de este sello es Doki Doki, y jugando con otras palabras, lo vamos
aplicando según el tipo de actividad:
Ej: Pases de doramas --> Doki Doki Sessions
Kedada para ver cosas del JE --> Doki Doki SP (Special)
etc.
La iniciativa de lanzar este sello viene por un motivo simple: El de unificar la afición a ver doramas
que gracias a fansubs como Japan Service, Dorama no Fansubs, Koi Fansubs o F4-Pawa ha ido
creciendo en los últimos dos años, con el movimiento fan de grupos y artistas del JE que poco a poco se
va extendiendo por España, y que cuenta con el apoyo de varios foros como J-Fan Service,
Spain Shonnen Club o el recien transformado Arashi Daikazoku (anterior Arashi Rabu Rabu).
Conjuntamente a esto, damos cabida al género shojo que tantos doramas ha inspirado, por no decir que
la mayoría de estos doramas tienen a actores del JE como intérpretes y en otros países a otros famosos artistas
(Se7en, F4...). Con esta idea, se pretende ir potenciando la difusión del trabajo que ya hacen estos fansubs y
comunidades, además de blogs, webs, etc. que puedan estar desarrollando proyectos similares (subs de doramas,
vídeos, info sobre shojo manga...).
Existen ya muchas comunidades y plataformas como el fanlist Europeo de Arashi o la petición para que DBSK venga a actuar a Europa, precisamente por este motivo no me he decantado por crear otro foro, web etc.
Simplemente he activado un Live Journal, que pueda servir de guía y conexión para todos los interesados y dónde poder publicar todas las iniciativas que me comuniquéis (en caso de querer hacer cosas bajo este sello).
No se trata de ir organizando ni grandes eventos y macro-kedadas, con pequeños actos ya vale, incluso si lo que queréis es llevar el sello en un blog, o una web personal. No hay límites de actividades, ni problemas por si se hace en una localidad u otra,
lo que importa es tener este espíritu de estar haciéndolo cada uno como buenamente pueda o quiera pero conjuntamente y con la voluntad de compartir esta afición con los demás.
¿Como Puedo hacer Doki Doki Sessions?
1- Si eres una entidad y dispones de un local, puedes programar de vez en cuando pases de series asiáticas, o organizar quedadas relacionadas con el JE y otros grupos idol masculinos para visionar programas, conciertos, vídeos...
2- Si eres un foro o comunidad (ya sea de JE, fansubs...), puedes añadir un botón en tu página principal y comprometerte a anunciar cualquier actividad que se vaya a hacer bajo este sello. También puedes responder a este e-mail y expresar tu deseo de afiliarte para que pueda poner un botón de tu web, foro, blog... en el LiveJournal.
3- Si ni tienes entidad, ni llevas una comunidad.... Siempre puedes afiliar tu web personal o blog, con un botoncito, o puedes organizar quedadas más informales y luego relatarnoslas.
Los que queráis suscribiros a esta inciativa, solo tenéis que mandarme un correo a rei@imperiosaiyan.org
También acepto propuestas de cosas que no se me hayan ocurrido ;P
I've been through the flu, and I've been being soooo lazy last week. Finally I took a rest! It was like all the past months had gone really fast, and all the work wasn't there anymore, but I was happy, and satisfied with it and, even knowing there are still loads of stuff to improve, ready for the next thing.
I'm still broke, but I could survive all this time along thanx to my mates and friends, always lending me money or paying for my stuff. I'm more in debt now, but I don't care cos they have shown me that I can always count on them to get through my worries.
HanaDan was not an exception, everybody put their efforts in helping it be good. Shame they were expecting more people to come, but I guess we cannot be everywhere at once, and if you're working in different stuff at the same time, it's impossible to make an extra-effort to make more promotion. Although people is really lazy to get the promo, because this has been announced since July, and still there's people who doesn't know there was such an event.
It was a very cold day, the space outside was too big, and finally could be used, but it wasn't our principal point, we wanted people to be in the conferences, wacthing the doramas and animes we were showing... and then, we wanted them to be on the other activities, but shame those had to be outside due to the little space inside that building...
Anyways, despite the cold, people stayed all the day, even enjoyed it, and that's the most important thing for us. Specially being our first event as the main association. This was the first for Japan House!
By the way we have a blog now, so we'll be adding the info on the activities we do and the events we go to collaborate with there: http://jpnhouse-spain.blogspot.com/
Right in the same Blogger my MCG to O-Rei blog is. (Oh! I wanna make a new entry in that music blog too, but I haven't been able to pursue any new album since I'm broke :( )
We have open activities all wednesdays so people who want to come just have to contact us at jpnhouse@gmail.com
We play Shogi (Japanese Chess) and we watch some stuff sometimes too.
Oh yes! I made my entry in here to say I haven't been out on purpose, is that I've been busy XD and that HanaDan Shojo still has its message board on: www.imperiosaiyan.org/hanadan although the pictures from that day will have to wait, cos the people who took them tried to send those to me but megaupload is not working for me.
Also I set up a new blog. Don't panic! It's a Live Journal, under the name Doki Doki http://okadarei.livejournal.com/ there it'll be all my dorama-shojo-JE comments on, because it's the place where I plan to start the race to the next "HanaDan Shojo" which won't need of a popular shojo to be, and it's gonna switch names into Doki Doki, to be more a day where you can meet other dorama-addicts, JE-fans and even know about shojo and shonnens that have been adaptated into doramas. Well, it's a little project, I don't plan to be 24/7 informing about news and stuff, but it's gonna be a place to comment stuff. Ya'll know I can't stay without having another one. XD
Viendo que en el google todavía falta espameo sobre mi próximo evento estrella (es una coña, ahora mismo estoy involucrada en 4 eventos, este es el único que partió de una idea mía), voy a dedicarle otro post. No os creáis, de los 4 eventos que estoy trabajando ahora, es al que menos tiempo le he dedicado esta semana, puesto que esta vez lo estamos repartiendo bien todo, y ya no me toca encargarme de los patrocinios casi al 100 % (de hecho pocos me ha tocado hacer), pero sí que de momento soy la que habla directamente con el local, la que está hablando con las tiendas que vendrían a poner stand (no os ilusionéis, no caben demasiados, y que luego no pase como en el NANA DAY que a última hora un par no pudieron venir)... también estamos repartiendo el tema hablar con los posibles colaboradores.
Sobretodo me interesa contar con la participación activa (ya sea in situ o a distancia) de los distintos fansubs que han trabajado con doramas y dramas asiáticos en general basados en obras de shojo (y que sean Españoles o de Habla Hispana). Dorama no Fansubs, F4 Pawa, Koi Fansubs y Japan Service son con los que de momento estamos contactando o intentando contactar. Llevan algunos ya casi dos años y varios proyectos a sus espaldas, y como al aficionado al dorama todavía no se le ha dedicado un espacio como Diós manda en ningún evento de manga-anime, pues creo que este es el comienzo de algo que quiero repetir en un futuro, incluso ampliar. Pero por el momento, todavía no sabemos si sería posible separar las proyecciones de las conferencias porqué el centro dispone de pocas salas y ya he prometido un stepmania y videojuegos y eso hace más difícil la tarea de ubicar las cosas.
Referente a los Jyanni's, de momento poca gente ha expresado que vaya a venir (de ese sector), pero sé que hay fans en Barcelona y cercanías, y me encantaría que se acercaran a gozar del evento (shojo + doramas`+ jyannis... una convinación bastante normal, ¿no?) XD convertí el primitivo "Arashi's Corner" en la intención de hacer algo más relacionado con los JE que una simple conferencia, pero también estamos en ello, puesto que dependemos de confirmaciones varias en términos de espacio disponible para el evento y en términos de personal. Será difícil contar con la presencia del stand que anhelo, puesto que el Salón es apenas dos semanas antes... pero se intentará hacer que la huella de los JE sea lo más grande posible.
Por el momento ya hay un cosplay fotográfico al que te puedes apuntar sin necesidad de venir al evento (o sea que si eres de fuera de Cataluña y no vas a desplazarte, puedes participar igual) y la categoría es "Arashi" tanto si te cosplayeas solo como si lo haces con algun amigo o grupo, tu vístete de Sho, de MatsuJun, de Aiba-chan, de Ohno, de Nino... o encuentra quién te acompañe (Sho y Aiba, o Nino y Oh-chan... el grupo entero, tres de ellos) y podrás participar, eso sí: Solo una vez por categoría. Esto significa que si quieres participar con un amigo/a disfrazados, por ejemplo, de Nino y de Aiba, luego no puedes mandar tu foto solo/a aunque sea con otro cosplay.
El otro concurso dedicado al JE es otro cosplay, pero para el mismo día del evento, y eso implica pasear tu cosplay y actuar con él (ya sea imitando una escena de un G no Arashi, cantando, haciendo playback, imitando un dorama...). La categoría también admite parejas y grupos, pero al igual que el cosplay por foto solo hay un premio. Si compites solo, puede que tus oponentes sean grupos, parejas, tríos... Puede que vayas de Yamapi y compitas contra los V6, o puede que veas una pareja de YamaPi / Kame (Kamenashi), y que entre tus rivales se encuentre Nagase Tomoya vestido como en My Boss, My Hero. Mientras sea del JE (júniors incluídos) vale.
No hace falta decir que (debo darme prisa en hacer este envío) el stepmanía tendrá temas de Arashi y otros grupos del JE. Y el karaoke también. Además, claro está, de temas de series de anime basadas en manga del género shojo o simplemente series de género shojo no basadas en ningun manga. El Yuri y el Yaoi hará una pequeña incursión en el karaoke además de una charla que se está preparando.
No hace falta que diga, que el personal del evento estará compuesto por: FOC / Imperio Saiyan (casi todos en calidad de voluntarios), Neko Otaku Club, Sakusen Carnival, Misión Tokyo y JPN House. De momento no podemos confirmar la asistencia de nadie de las webs y foros: HYD-ES, Arashi Rabu Rabu, JFan Service, DnF, F4-Pawa y Malditas Galletas, pero sí que van a colaborar con materiales y demás.
Referente a los sponsors, pues esta vez se pide más que nada su apoyo, que vengan a charlar, que nos cedan o den materiales, sobretodo para los premios. Pero mayoritáriamente Convent de St Agustí se hará cargo del material técnico (un alivio, ya sabéis la ruina que me supuso el NANA DAY, tanto a nivel local como estatal). Lo que nos ineteresa es que siendo unas jornadas dedicadas al shojo, todas las editoriales que han tratado el género esten presentes, además de las distribuidoras.
En las actividades planeadas (que quiere decir que estamos trabajando en ellas, así que si hay alguien interesado o que podría echar un cable, es bienvenido) estan la Ceremonia del Té, un Trivial de Shojo, el Stepmanía y algun Videojuego retro (no lucha, no shonen, no juegos tipo FF), Proyecciones de episodios de doramas, dramas Taiwaneses y el primer capítulo de Goong (por ver si sería posible tener sala propia para esto y separarlo de las conferencias), Charlas sobre varios temas relacionados con el shojo (manga y anime), los doramas y el JE, una Biblioteca de Shojo Manga (y esta vez nadie podrá llevarse tomos XD no por nada, pero alguien se llevó los tomos 7 y 8 de NANA en el NANA DAY y esa era mi propia colección, en fín, riesgos que se corren) y estudiando la posibilidad de un Host Club.

y ahora os dejo con el cartel del HANADAN SHOJO sin logos. El diseño se basa en los créditos de la primera temporada del Live Action japonés y está elaborado por As-Vainilla para la organización del Evento.
Hey! I'm at my summer town, I've been working as a waitress again, still broke tho :( and I've been doing some preparation works for upcoming events... I'm still half discussing some of the dates, the boss seems to forget everything I tell him about dates, events and workshops... anyway, it's gonna be easier than the lessons we'll be doing about Japan and its history...
FACT # 1
Hanadan Shojo is the new name I gave to Hana Yori Dango Day aka Hanadan Day because the original idea of this event has been changing a lot since I first created it. I won't get tired of saying is not another NANA DAY:
A. No one has proposed to celebrate a day dedicated to a manga Internationaly.
B. The original idea was a marathon watching the first season of the Live Action, so it was "Days" instead of "Day", we made the "s" fall because when we took the idea back we only had a day to make it.
C. We never intended to make our "NANA" event such a big deal, but since someone proposed it to make it on 07/07/07 we switched dates, cancelled a couple of events dedicated to two manga/anime/live action and worked a little more into that idea to match the International celebration. The way we worked back into Hanadan Shojo has been different since what we wanted is to use this manga to show how shojo has been through the last two decades and how some works had been adaptated into anime and into tv drama series, plus having an excuse to celebrate some of us are arashian. XD
FACT # 2
We didn't chose the date exactly, we said it had to be in the end of November, because at the beginning there's a Manga Feir and before is impossible to get ready such an event, because there are other things to get ready, and later we have another event this year... so we said 17th or 24th November and the center we're doing this event gave us the 17th. Is not a date with a hidden meaning or something.
FACT # 3
Hanadan Shojo stands for an event that will be about shojo manga, doramas, Taiwanese and Korean dramas based in shoujo manga, and the idols from the JE plus JVKV (the original Taiwanese F4). The principal subject of this event are the conferences, talks and episodes from some anime series and dramas (TW, K, and of course JPN) that are linked into the shoujo works we picked up appart of Hanadan, which is the main series we picked up because of the importancy of the manga and both the Taiwanese and the Japanese drama. Arashi and the JE come because of Hanadan and because some of the JE idols and the JVKV members have started in roles in those drama series we've talked about.
FACT # 4
This won't be an event that will be celebrated in different cities, areas, locations, whatever. It will have only a location, at least this year, and depending on its acceptation we could repeat it again, next year (maybe) in another city, maybe changing the name or adding new shojos...
FACT # 5
We will have some activities, games and little workshops, but all of them will be related to shojo manga, and girlie stuff, except for the videogames which will be some oldies, such as Tetris, Return to Aracade or Puyo Pop, because we know some males will come too. But this event is to learn a little bit more about the subjects we already discussed above.
FACT # 6
Different people will be involved in Hanadan Shojo: There's a blog dedicated to everything about shojo news (Los Shojos de Deirdre), the best Spanish site about Hanadan (www.hyd-es.com) , different associations and clubs, even some forums such as Arashi Rabu Rabu where we've been requesting some material or fansubs such as Dorama no Fansub (they made the subs for HYD and HYD 2), we even requested to F4-Pawa and still we've got more people to ask for help or if they want to join us with something... There's plenty of things you can do, even from the distance, like sharing videos, series, or ideas. There's an online competition: Best Hanadan Fanfic, and a Cosplay Competition by pictures... and we decided to do that because some people have already complained about the fact this event will be too far from their locations.
FACT # 7
After this event, we still have work to do, events to go and work as volunteers, and events that will be like this but dedicated to other themes and subjects, and it'll be plenty of time to make events like people are used to go, with the same activities and workshops and competitions as always, that's why we're not worried about not having stuff people is used to, we're also trying to get these events to a new client target, people that can read manga, but maybe won't go to the typical events. We already had some of them at NANA DAY, and they told us they liked the familiar atmosphere and that they didn't felt that out-of-place.
FACT # 8
Is true that I've already suggested to the ones that felt decieved with NANA DAY and have been harsh with us not to come. I'm sorry, but people who only think we shoul make perfect events like we were a company or something, are not welcome into our events. They only come to criticize and they're negative. Some have already doubted about Hanadan Shojo, and still they say they'll probably come. There's no need to.
FACT # 9
We'll keep doing events despite of the haters because we love them, but get sure I won't waste the same amount of money as I did in NANA DAY, because those haters have shown me there's no worth in doing it. It's better keeping it poor, than wasting money in material that won't be apreciate. Same goes for the prizes, we'll be giving little prizes, and we'll be having just a few competitions. However we'll be talking about Hanadan Shojo to the publishers that publish shojo in Spain, because we think they must know about this, and because maybe some of them want to join us in our conferences and talks.
FACT # 10
YES it's true this event has changed from its original idea, but still it was previous to NANA DAY, same as it is the one we'll be doing next summer. We've got plenty of previous ideas, but anyway, people still will compare them to NANA DAY... let me just tell you that if ever someone requests to celebrate something internationally, I'll only join if I have something in mind, like I did with NANA DAY ;D
