Guardian fandom friending meme!!!

[china_shop]

Our lovely fandom continues to grow beyond our wildest expectations! Comm membership has just hit 100 98 (and we got impatient)! *shameless champagne and ballooooons*

A few small notes and reminders:

1. The Welcome/Intro post and the Fannish Resources post are still alive and kicking. Feel free to drop in at any time and say hi, or give us all your resource links (even the ones that might seem really obvious)!


2. Lurking is also totally fine, of course! *waves to lurkers*


3. Please tag your posts to the comm so other users can easily find what they’re looking for. In particular, it would be great if you could use the canon: drama and/or canon: novel tags, since it’s not always obvious to us mods which should apply, including for fanart or vids that use drama visuals but draw on novel elements. This is our current list of tags, and we’ll add more type tags as the need arises.


4. You can find the full (updated) comm rules on the profile page.


5. Feel free to promote sid_guardian on your journal or elsewhere. (Here's a graphic and text.)

And now, without further ado...

Since some of us are new to Dreamwidth, and some of us are new to Guardian, it seems like a good time for a Dreamwidth friending meme. Come and meet new people! (Re)Populate your DW circle!

To participate, just copy the text below, paste it into a new comment and tell us about yourself. (All information is optional.) Then read through other people's comments and say hi / follow them as desired.

*scrolls up* they're down to 3 members now? Tbh, I'm mostly impressed they're still around at all lol. Not bad staying power for a boy band lol. *googles* Glad to see Kame is still acting too, I always liked his dramas.

It's true! Yeah, a lot of established JE bands have been sailing into rough waters recently (SMAP and T&T have disbanded, Arashi is retiring, Kanjani and Tokio both lost members...), so the fact that they're still standing at this point is an achievement in itself. And I enjoy Kame's dramas too! He's been leaning more into the detective/spy genre lately, which has been a lot of fun. : )

WTF, I am so behind. o_O T&T gone? Arashi retiring? ffff, who left from Kanjani and Tokio?

(please tell me V6 are still together, my heart might break if they're not. D: )

[frameofmind6]

Yeah, Tsubasa had health issues that made it difficult for him to perform on stage and Tackey was just recently named Johnny's successor (I know it sounds like a fanfic plot, but I swear I'm not making that up : ) and retired from being a talent to move to the production side. Arashi are still active for now, but they've announced they're going on "indefinite hiatus" two years from now. As for the others, Yamaguchi had to leave Tokio because of a harassment scandal involving an underage girl (><), and Subaru left Kanjani because he wanted to have a solo career in another style of music (enka, I'd assume). There are rumors that Ryo might be thinking of leaving Kanjani too, but as far as I know that's not substantiated yet... >_>

V6 is still good!! At least, I think so -- I don't remember any big scandals coming from their direction lately... ^^

*facepalms forever* I can't even.

Oh, thank fuck.

[powwie]

V6 is still good. I think all the members are merried now (or 5 out 6) and have kids. It's a daddy band that still works fine LOL

Bzuh, when the fuck did that happen, holy shit. o_O Last I heard Innochi was the only one married. o_O
