Hi guys. "Nogizaka46 International Fanclub" (@Facebook) is working with the "Japanese Sakurai Reika Birthday Committee" on a fanbook project to celebrate her 21st birthday. The fanbook will include your personal birthday message, your picture or fan art, a few Q&A about Reika, and a few pages for Reika to know more about her oversea fans. (Like our favorite Reika moments, favorite Reika songs etc.) Anyone who wants to participate, please fill out the form below. You can write in English yes!! Someone will help translate your message into Japanese. However, if you're fluent in Japanese, please do write in Japanese. You can simply post your answer using reply to this thread OR if you don't want your message/picture to be public, you can send them to my e-mail at: superic8k@hotmail.com The deadline is APRIL 1ST (No joke). We're on a tight schedule because we still need to design, translate, print, send to Japanese fans (they want physical papers), bind the book, etc. So if you want to participate, please don't wait for too long. Thank you!! ----- - Name (Required) - If you write in Japanese, do include both English & Japanese (katakana). - Country (Required) - Where you're from to show her she has fans from all over the world. =) - Your Birthday Message (Required) - Please keep it under 5 sentences max. - Your Picture or Fan Art (Optional) - Just a picture of you. Preferably with a Reika product like holding a poster, towel or something. If you're shy or just don't want to show your face, you can do a fan art (Drawing, graphic art) instead. =) - Q&A (Optional. But if you DO decide to write them, first 3 are required while 4-7 are not required.) 1. What do you like/love about Reika? (Example: Beautiful singing voice) 2. What would you like to see from Reika in the future? (Example: A solo coupling song. Act in a movie as main actress.) 3. What's one question you would like to ask Reika? (Example: Do you prefer Yumi with long hair or short hair?) 4. What is your favorite Reika moment? (Example: When she sang "Best Friend" to Yumi @ Nogibingo!2 Ep12) 5. What's your Top 3 Reika pairings? (Example: Yumi, Misa, Maiyan) 6. A. What's an amazing moment of Reika you remember? B. What's a ponkotsu moment of Reika you remember? (Example: A. When she does MC during concerts. B. When everyone refused to accept her as a legit captain on Nogibingo!) 7. What's your favorite Reika song? Music video? Bonus PV? (Example: Song - Hoka no Hoshi kara / PV - Hito wa Naze Hashiru no ka / Bonus Vid - 2nd Single)
Bumping this Would like to repeat that we're receiving help from the Japanese fans with this project, so it'd be nice if it turns out successful, possibly opening doors to more collaborations in the future! By the way, I personally overlook the translated messages, so if there's any questions on that field, feel free to ask me.
I'd like to remind everyone that the deadline for this project is April 1st, so exactly a week from now. Please share your love for Reika and send in your messages ASAP!
Hi guys, the project is now CLOSED. We have received 38 messages total. A few pictures/fan arts. Thanks to everyone who participated. We will no longer take any more messages since we plan to send out everything by April 6th to the Japanese fans. There are still some work left to do - translating, QCing, printing, etc. We will ask the Japanese fans to send us pictures of the fanbook before giving it to Reika and I'll post pictures here. =)
