#info: note

Hi everyone,

I've been absent for the past few weeks and will likely continue to be. I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding.

Plus, AAA news has been rather slow lately!

As always, if you'd like to keep up-to-date with AAA, please check the affiliates and recommended links list, the attack all around tag here on Tumblr, aaach and ExOtomari.

Hi guys!

Since my last hiatus post on May 13th, I've been posting a little here and there -- mostly with "big" updates related to 「Love Is In The Air」 -- but TAKAUNO will remain on a semi-hiatus until further notice. This means I will update occasionally until the "semi-hiatus" status has been lifted. At some point in the future, I will update constantly again.

I apologize for the inconvenience. 

ETA: Reposted because it's a recurring problem.

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder, in correlation with ryopi123's post: please credit your sources. Fans have taken the time to scan/upload/etc., so the least we can do is properly credit them.

ssanchan, in particular, is extremely generous (and approachable). Please read her statement regarding crediting and sourcing:

"To tumblr user, thank you for your respect :)*. im just referring to facebook groups share my scan but without my permission and not leave credits, thats the most abominable! Earlier, i allowed TAKAUNO to share my pic, so thats ok u guys to share my scan in tumblr! don't worry and hope you guys enjoy my scan, also sorry for my big logo on pic. Actually, i will post without the logo every time, if you want to know the password, don't hesitate to ask me!^_^ If you take my scan and want to modify pic, please also leave credits! Sorry for my poor english hope u guys understand , Thank you!!! ^_^

by ssanchan"

Please ask her permission prior to posting her scans elsewhere, and remember to credit her.

Hello! I wanted to write a HUGE THANK-YOU to everyone who has visited TAKAUNO over the past few years. As of right now, TAKAUNO has had 938,913 hits since December 23, 2010. Thank you! ありがとうございました！ 감사합니다! 謝謝！ ¡Gracias! Merci!

I could never run this site without the affiliates & recommended links, and the Japanese AAA fans on Ameba, プリ画像, 2ch and Twitter. So, thank you, too!

I am in the process of obtaining new hitcounters that will categorize hits by location and illustrate daily vs. overall hits, among other things. I thought that, before switching over, I should thank you. So... thank you! I hope you continue to visit TAKAUNO in the future, and please feel free to send me a private message with suggestions, comments and/or criticism regarding this site. I will take everything into consideration.

Hey guys,

(I'm the admin of this website). 

I've received tons of messages about Ito's blog today. Yes, she featured a picture with Nishijima in her blog entry from today, and while it may seem disappointing to some of us, no one should be bashing Ito because of it. I've received some messages even saying they hate her after seeing her blog today. This is very upsetting. Please don't hate her.

Ito is free to post pictures with whoever she likes. We shouldn't dislike her because she posted a picture with another member! I will be the first to admit I was initially disappointed to see the image in her blog, solely because there has been a "Nishichia influx," so to speak, recently. (I even agreed with an anonymous message about being "tired" of Nishichia).

I apologize if I came across as "anti-Ito." I don't dislike any of the members. In fact, I love all of them for different reasons.  Obviously Takauno is my preferred pairing, and yes, I definitely miss seeing them interact together. It seems a lot of us do. However, I know that there is more to AAA than pairings. Yes, I love Takauno, but I also love all seven members. I love their music. I love watching them dance. I love their backstage antics. I love the way they've grown so much since their debut in 2005.

I love when Hidaka is awkwardly put on the spot (06:08) and owns it; I love how goofy (07:41~) Urata is; I love how sweet and down-to-earth (55:40) Ito is; I love how adorable (02:37~) Atae is; I love watching Sueyoshi dance, anywhere, any time.

We should support all seven members of AAA. Each member is an integral part of the band for a different reason.

Hey everyone!
