Announcement-like thing  
Some of you might notice it that my livejournal didn't mention anything about Arashi anymore, from the Welcome post, the sidebar, my profile, none of them mention Arashi. If you wonder why, that's because I'm out of Arashi fandom already.

I make this announcement because there are people who still go to PM me and ask me to sub this or that show of Arashi and I have to reply to those PM, saying that I'm out of Arashi fandom and have no intention of subbing anymore Arashi show, I don't even watch them anymore, except for those that I've said I gonna do until the end (mainly VS Arashi). Now I've moved to V6 fandom and so I don't touch Arashi videos/cms/news.

I'm sure that the people who are in my f-list friended me because I share things about Arashi. I'm sad to say this, but if you want to remove me from your friend list I can accept it. That's because I'm not going to talk about Arashi anymore, not even a bit, so if you think reading my V6 post or about my real life do not worth your time, un-friended me and I can accept it :)

It's fun being in Arashi fandom since 2005 until 2012. It's been a long but fun 7 years. Now it's time to move on for me.

Goodbye, Arashi. Thanks for giving me laughter and happiness. I wish you boys the best in everything you do.

P.S
I forget to include this but I'm not going to leave ANM. I will still continue to sub the shows I said I'm going to do, which is mainly VS Arashi. And I will still maintain the community so that the community will still run properly :)

the choice is yours.. so i fully support you.

will be around to hear you bragging about V6 and your life... LOL ^o^
harunomasuharunomasu on April 9th, 2012 01:24 pm (UTC)
I'm going to brag about V6 a lot though :D
sho_wifeyawa_naj on April 9th, 2012 01:09 pm (UTC)
It's sad to know that you're leaving the fandom. I have a question though. Will you continue your sakumoto's fic?
harunomasuharunomasu on April 9th, 2012 01:25 pm (UTC)
I'm not going to continue it, sadly :)
yomodayomoda on April 9th, 2012 01:09 pm (UTC)
it's little bit sad hear about this....
but, yeah... it's okay, it's your choice, just enjoy your happiness and do the best.
harunomasuharunomasu on April 9th, 2012 01:25 pm (UTC)
Thanks :)

Perhaps you should explain yourself in the other community. I respect your decision but please be reponsible and not say "okay, that is the end for me" and leave things aS it is.

Please do understand that many people put in effort to make the community works.
harunomasuharunomasu on April 9th, 2012 01:24 pm (UTC)
I'm leaving Arashi fandom but I'm not leaving ANM. Like I said, I'm still going to continue subbing all the works I said I'm going to do, so no worries about that.
zelskeetzelskeet on April 9th, 2012 01:33 pm (UTC)
i have mixed feelings. i respect your decision, though. but i have 1 question for you. "can you not be a fan of several groups at the same time?"

it just puzzles me. because in my perspective, those people who have REALLY moved on from their past does not forget the past nor they exclude the people that have become a part of their life BUT instead, they brace them or accept them and go forward, knowing that what they have learned or experienced (good or bad) will help them in their future endeavors. To me you sound like you haven't moved on. You sound like a person who was left by their boyfriend or girlfriend and still bitter of what happened. sorry for being blunt. i just can't understand where are you coming. I mean i read this and you COMPLETELY turned 180 degrees. i'm sure you have your reasons.. but in my case, my ichiban group is arashi but that doesn't mean i can't and don't appreciate other groups.. in fact, there are several groups that i like. not just limited to jpop groups but also kpop groups..

when i read this "...I'm not going to talk about Arashi anymore, not even a bit...", i was shocked. you sound like a bitter person in this statement.

i don't have a plan to un-friend you though. because i also what to hear you failing about v6. because i also like v6 ^^
harunomasuharunomasu on April 9th, 2012 01:39 pm (UTC)
Well, there are several reasons why I left the fandom but since I don't want to offend anyone with my reasons so I just left it as something that I have to move on from :)
But the main reason why I left is that this fandom didn't give me the same feeling it gave me before.

It's not that I can't be a fan of several groups at the same time, just that I choose not to.

V6 is a very wonderful group :) If you can understand their awesomeness that would be great too :)
ocha_sukiocha_suki on April 9th, 2012 02:41 pm (UTC)
hi Juu, what's up? ;)
i'm a bit shocked to read this post, but i can accept it if you wanna leave arashi fandom, coz it's up to you which one you like it or not ;)
beside i'm not exclusively only follow arashi, as you may see or perhaps get sick of my posts on my LJ about others fandoms of mine LOL i enjoy others fandoms as well, not to mention that arashi is not even my 1st fandoms, so i don't mind reading your post about V6, moreover, i think it will be my adventage to know them better XDDD
thus, i'm not gonna un-friended you, if you don't mind ;)
but as zelskeet said, why should say "sayounara" to the old fandoms and its fans when you found a brand new subject of interest? can't you just say "jya~ matta" instead?
you know, it seems like you say goodbye to your old friends once you found a brand new kids to hang out with, no?
but hey, that's just my 2cents, pls forgive me if you feel offended by it ^^
harunomasuharunomasu on April 9th, 2012 03:38 pm (UTC)
I'm glad if you will enjoy my V6 ramblings. They're awesome so there will be a lot to talk about :D

Um, my main reason leaving Arashi fandom is because the fandom didn't give me the same reassurance it gave me before. Maybe you can't understand but from my point of view, this fandom has turn to be a scary one where I don't want to get involved anymore in it. Other than that, there are other reasons but those are private reasons that I want to keep to myself :)

And no, you don't offend me at all so no worries. I'm always open to opinion and critique :)
Marri Andyeli: inocchi laughangellybeanzz on April 9th, 2012 03:45 pm (UTC)
Oh wow. Mixed emotions for me. I'm sad that you're leaving the arashi fandom and at the same time, happy that you're moving to V6!

While I won't be able to flail with you about Arashi, I'll still get to spazz with you about V6, so I'm keeping you in my f-list for sure. ^___^

For starters, may I ask, what caused you to move? And who is your V6 bias? :D
Marri Andyeli: inocchi laughangellybeanzz on April 9th, 2012 03:46 pm (UTC)
And just so you know, my bias is *points to icon* :DDDD

I respect your decision
hello.
Wow, your post kind of shocked me, it is sad to hear that you are leaving arashi fandom, but I respect your decision.
I like to read any post on my friends journals, so don´t think that I would un--friend you. ;)

I wasn´t active in arashi fandom for a long time because of many reasons, but may I ask you how arashi fandom changed?
harunomasuharunomasu on April 9th, 2012 04:30 pm (UTC)
Re: I respect your decision
Um, you better email me for details? I'm sure that someone will feel offended of what I said haha

jodie26 on April 9th, 2012 04:33 pm (UTC)
hey :)
like everyone here i am shocked about this, and i'm on a similar page to zelskeet about this however i fully understand you have your own personal reasons for leaving but i'm just SUPER intrigued about your thoughts to arashi and it's fandom, but i definitely am not as committed and as good a member as you were to the fandom so i guess i'm quite naive about the negativity of it.

really sad but hope it's not a literal goodbye and you will still be able to enjoy arashi's loveliness hehe (which since your still doing vsa i'm glad :)

and of course i still want you in my friend list ^_^
harunomasuharunomasu on April 9th, 2012 04:55 pm (UTC)
Well, let's say I have my reasons? :D I've been thinking about quitting for a long time but then didn't get to do it because I still want to give a chance to the fandom but it never change for the better so I left :)

Glad you still want me in your f-list. YOu will definitely enjoy my V6 spazzing post. They're an amazing group, can sing live (and their voices are so melodious you will fall for it) and definitely a group with family-ness :D
Kkanu_x on April 10th, 2012 12:47 am (UTC)
ah well, I'm not going to unfriend you. Does friendship even depend on which fandom you're in? (But if we're looking for a common ground, at least we'll always be anime geeks ;D) I met you through Arashi and I'm glad of that! Just sadly that I can't spazz with you about V6 since I'm still hung up on Arashi and trying not to move elsewhere (knowing that most groups are great and I'd be the same as you otherwise.) Just letting you know that even if I don't spam your V6 posts, I'm still here. Plus, don't mind my Arashi posts then. Oh and UM...can I still work and talk to you about the RESTORING FAITH sequel? i'm just really procrastinating on everything. (And btw, what're you gonna do about the rainbowfilling challenges then? I guess leaving fandom means you'll leave the Arashi fanfic writing world too? Or not)

harunomasuharunomasu on April 10th, 2012 12:58 am (UTC)
Some people did hate me because I'm changing fandom, so yeah, just to make it easier haha.

Sure, sure, please do talk me about Restoring Faith sequel. I'm still waiting for it :D

showjuro: you've got a problem?showjuro on April 10th, 2012 01:05 am (UTC)
I'm sad to hear that, but I understand that one cannot stay in the same fandom forever. I've been in that position before too.

harunomasuharunomasu on April 11th, 2012 04:37 am (UTC)
Oh really?
Well, I think 7 years already a long time. it's just time for me to move on :)

Love V6 so much! I also love watching their show but there are not many subbed videos of them yet. I really wish there would be more people to sub their show because it's really good! I guess I'll see you around then in V6 fandom : )
harunomasuharunomasu on April 11th, 2012 04:38 am (UTC)
I'll do my best to sub them! V6 show is very enjoyable and I got a good laugh watching Kumagusu. that show is very very funny XD

i'm around in V6_unlimited :D
girlonstormgirlonstorm on April 10th, 2012 04:38 pm (UTC)
sama kayak yang lain, aku kaget ama keputusan kak juu, tapi balik lagi, itu adalah alasan personal dan harus dihargai :)

oya, aku mau introduce dulu, nama aku kinan, aku arashian baru, aku ga begitu tau kondisi fandom sebelum2 ini, apa boleh aku kirim email juga untuk dapat penjelasan tentang alasan kakak keluar?

mungkin bisa untuk jadi bahan rujukan kedepannya, supaya hal2 scary kayak yang kakak mention diatas ga kejadian lagi., karena kayaknya aku bakal lama di fandom arashi ini.

makasih banyak kakak :)
harunomasuharunomasu on April 11th, 2012 04:39 am (UTC)
Um, untuk sementara aku cuma bagi-bagi cerita ke temen-temen lama yang udah aku kenal baik dan dekat. Aku sering kena bash dari fans baru karena berbagai macam hal dan aku belum mau kena bash lagi padahal aku sudah keluar fandom :)

Nice to meet you though :)

Hallo,
I’m a bit shocked when I heard you’re leaving the fandom but I fully respect your decision. I’m also not exclusively in Arashi fandom so I don’t really mind. I want to continue being your friend, it doesn’t matter what your fandom now is. And actually I’m more shocked when I went into your page and found Yesung *laugh*. I’m also into kpop now and yes, I like Yesung and Super Junior *wink*. Maybe we can talk more about this one 
harunomasuharunomasu on April 11th, 2012 07:33 am (UTC)
i'M NOT A sUJU FAN THOUGH HAHA. tHE LAYOUT HASN'T BEEN CHANGED SINCE LAST YEAR AND i'M STILL WAITING FOR MY v6 LAYOUT :)

i don't know why but somehow everything i type appears in capital letters o.O. anyways, i'm kinda surprised that you left the fandom but hey, you can do whatever you want :). Big Fandoms are scary (not only the kpop ones T-T). I'm glad that out of all those many available fandoms (many other JE bands and Kpop Groups), you picked V6 :). they don't get enough love. Especially GnI. This show is awesome (If you haven't watched the episode with "TanYa", you definitely should. i couldn't stop laughing). Whos's your favourite one? Mine is definitely Okada <3. Let me know if you ever move on to K8. Those guys don't get enough love either :(.

however, good luck with your new community (i left a pretty long message at anm, too :P. saying pretty much the same :P). I will continute stalking your lj <3
harunomasuharunomasu on May 4th, 2012 01:25 am (UTC)
That's my journal default XD Just write as usual~

I'm out of Arashi fandom because it becomes stupid, unlike the good old days from 2005 when I first joined the fandom. Life in Arashi fandom is like living a life in a cheap drama that got worse by second. But maybe that's just me. All I can say now is that I'm so happy I'm out of the fandom :)

my fave in V6 is Inocchi <3 He's the one who pulled me into V6 fandom <3 That man is an absolute love hehe

i replied to that comment too <3
