[Personal] some general advice!!

I would like to address some fandom related stuff because things are currently going in the wrong direction, so please keep reading and try to re-think about certain actions!

① DON’T STREAM STAGES (stream recordings ❌ dvd/blu-ray rips ❌) on youtube, bilibili or any other streaming site!

ESPECIALLY DO NOT STREAM MOVIC  and MARVELOUS PRODUCTIONS‼

even if you own a DVD/Blu-ray and want to share your love… do it PRIVATELY if you have to but DO NOT stream!!!

I don’t know if you guys realised it but a lot of productions use PIA LIVE STREAMING or Streaming+ these days (instead of dmm or niconama) to stream their shows. there are several reasons why they choose these services (like the streaming stability provided by these sites) but one of them is, that unless you have a Japanese Credit Card/can pay at a Japanese convenient store and have a Japanese Phone you can’t get access to these streams, which makes it ‘almost’ impossible for people outside of Japan to get their hands on them. YES, the industry is well aware of illegal actions performed by a lot of foreigners and is trying to make it harder for foreign fans to see their favourite show, which is a biiiigggg step back!! and sorry to say that but this is partly the fault of those among us who think it is a good idea to upload these videos on streaming sites!! you are NOT doing the fandom a favour!! the opposite is the case!! you are actually ruining it for the international fandom!!

which brings me to my second point

② DON’T POST GIFS/SCREENCAPS of stages (stream recordings ❌ dvd/blu-ray rips ❌)

well at least try not to post them on twitter!! especially not when you are following Japanese actors! ‘western culture’ is colliding with the Japanese at this point (and the law…) the majority of Japanese fans are not amused about it because it’s an unwritten rule here in Japan. NO GIFS!!! NO SCREENCAPS!!! try to keep it as private as possible!! I’ve been doing it here in the past so I’m definitly not an angel… but I’ve never done it on twitter! so if you don’t want to get into trouble with the law… stop at least doing it on twitter!

speaking of getting into trouble

③ DON’T RE-POST ‘OFFICIAL’ PICTURES FROM ACTORS (pix posted by actors on twitter, their blogs/fanclubs ❌ or official pictures like genepro-pix ❌)

again, at least try not to re-post them on twitter!! to be honest, I’m still debating with myself about this point… I mean, I’ve never re-posted pix on twitter… but those of you who follow me for quite some time now know that I like to promote my 3 oshis from time to time (using their pix) BUT I always put my sources in my posts!!! anyway, the recent post by >>荒牧慶彦 official<< (translation by Christie on twitter) made me rethink. meaning: for now I won’t post pix of my oshis (nor genepro-pix) here on my blog. so please do the same (at least on twitter) and instead of re-posting the pix just simply retweet them and give the actual post a big LIKE ❤️

[WARNING] DO NOT STREAM STAGES

this is basically a warning to all those out there who still think it’s a good idea to upload stages on streaming sites (youtube, bilibili & co.) or share recordings/rips (openly)

it seems that a bunch of international kpop fans on twitter will get sued for sharing streams (and trying to make money out of it). they were promoting their illegal actions openly on twitter. the industry in Korea is taking actions now and it seems that even INTERPOL is going to be involved.

this isn’t a joke and has nothing to do with ‘being an elitist’!! it’s real and it’s scary!! so please be careful and think seriously about your actions and what you are going to do from now on because you might get charged for it!!

sorry for using such strong words but seriously… don’t comment on actors tweets with pictures showing that you are watching an illegally optained stream/recording!!! well unless you wanna be sued!! 

and what is even more stupid… selling copies of illegally optained recordings openly on twitter!! are you insane?!? 

twitter is the go to sns for Japanese nowadays so don’t think officials won’t find your posts!! so please, simply stop it, okay! again, this has nothing to do with ‘being an elitist’!!! 

[WARNING/UPDATE] to make it a little bit more official!

Watanabe Entertainment posted an official statement about the do’s and don’ts (sns rules) a few hours ago!!!

And more big news! ✨

OVA Official Teaser Site:

Wow, there’s been a number of rather awesome announcements on Twitter today, but I think the biggest news stories are the announcement of a new OVA and more info about the upcoming live action TV drama that got announced back in April.

We don’t know too much about the OVA as of yet, but they have announced a new character will being making his debut in the production:

Meet Sakai Hyogo! He worked for the Shinsengumi as an accountant and left the corps around 1865 possibly due to his discomfort with one of the additional duties accountants had to oversee which was the burying of bodies, but there’s debate on that. There’s scant info on him but I haven’t really dug too deep beyond the basics. Still kinda reeling over here 😅

Now! The live action drama updated with more info on the cast. Back in April they announced that Sakiyama Tsubasa will be playing the role of Hijikata:

Joining him will be Wakayanagi Kotoko as Yukimura Chizuru, Yano Masato as Saito Hajime, and Kanai Sonde as Okita Souji.
