Greetings everyone,
The outpouring of e-mail from Tohoshinki fans is simply incredible and I decided that I would like to do something similar to our L’Arc~en~Ciel article back in 2004 by showcasing the fandom worldwide in North America, Europe, Asia and South America and possibly other countries as well.
And this is where I will need your help, I am currently looking for fans who have their bedroom decorated with Tohoshinki pictures, fans with Tohoshinki drawings or even a shrine of merchandise of Tohoshinki and even has a dance group learning choreography of Tohoshinki and even cosplay or hairstyles.
I would love to feature you in this article and to showcase how the fandom is all around the world and I need your help.
What I need is:
Photos of your collection, drawings or choreography. You will be given credit for your photography.
For those that are chosen to be featured in the article (this is outside of the fan question part of the interview), I need the following:
YOUR NAME, CITY (Province) and COUNTRY
And for you to answer the following questions:
- How did you become a fan of Tohoshinki?
- What is your favorite CD single and album from Tohoshinki and why?
- What is it about Tohoshinki that you like about their group.
- Then talk about your interest and if you did anything in regards to Tohoshinki (ie. collecting images, magazines, learning choreography, doing similar hairstyles, etc.)
That is for one section of the article.
NOTE ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY (posted on 2.15.08): The only thing I need though is to make sure the photos are large for me. Reason is because our articles are magazine style format (8.5 x 11 inches), what you see on your monitor screen that looks big is actually very small for the article. So, some photos we have received are 1 inch and too small to use. Also, some are compressed too much for us to use. The majority of you sent good size photos but if you think you submitted one that is very small, please send us a larger version. I also will contact you if you have a larger version if possible, when we start on section 1.

The second section is asking fans around the world “WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT “T”? (their latest album)
NOTE: SECTION 2 DEADLINE IS CLOSED!!! Thank you everyone for participating in Section 2. We have received the maximum amount of submissions for this section.Please e-mail us at: info[at]nt2099[dot]com or nt2099[at]gmail[dot]com with your answers and photos! THANK YOU!!!!
* NOTE: You can still submit to question 1.
SECTION 3: I am looking for information on fan-based events. I hear there are Tohoshinki fan events in Thailand, Philippines, Peru, etc. If anyone can send me photos that I can use in the article, please e-mail them to me. I will give you credit for your photos but if you attend these events, If possible, I would love to use the photo. Also, just a summary of what the event is about and just information about it. Thank you!
SECTION 4: Where in the World are the Tohoshinki Fans?
- You or you and your friends hold something Tohoshinki related (A sign, poster or whatever) but you must take a picture somewhere in your country. Be creative or be somewhere near your city or town’s landmark. The goal is to create a collage of photos of showing the fans from all over the world but I want more photos of the fans holding a sign or something Tohoshinki related in their part of the country somewhere outside of their bedroom. (Example: Holding something Tohoshinki related outside and show anything that is from your country - for example, a fan from France and their fans holding a sign for Tohoshinki but behind them is the Eiffel Tower or something cool to let Tohoshinki know they are in France. Or a group of students gathered together in a group holding a poster or something of Tohoshinki and posing in front of their school..
- Just a brief sentence of where the photo was taken, who the photo credit should go to and that’s pretty much it. Very easy.
- E-mail photo to nt2099[at]gmail[dot]com or info[at]nt2099[dot]com.

SECTION 5: MINI FAN REVIEWS FOR TOHOSHINKI ALBUMS, CD SINGLES AND DVD’S
Typically in my articles, I review the CD singles, albums and DVD’s but because I know Tohoshinki are passionate and could tell who sings what part and so forth, I would like to do a mini fan review with a page dedicated to each and every CD single, album and DVD (one page only). All, I need is you to submit a mini-review (one paragraph or two), your name and what country your from. No photo needed. That’s it. E-mail your review(s) nt2099[at]gmail[dot]com or info[at]nt2099[dot]com. And most importantly, please focus on the positive not the negative!
UPDATE (2.18.08): Review page for “PURPLE LINE” and “Together” are closed. Reviews for “T” are not needed since it was covered in Section 2. Still need mini fan reviews for CD singles, albums (including Korean albums) and DVD’s.
