Since we're in 2018 already, figured I might as well start this thread (for reference this is the 2018 version of previous threads before about our plans to travel to Japan during the year).

 

Personally I'm planning two trips this year, in July-August and in October-November, still ways ahead T_T 

Main goal for the first trip is to be there for Tokyo Idol Festival 2018 and hopefully at least one more of the major summer festivals (probably Sekigahara Idol Wars).

Second trip main purpose will be visiting Akihabara Backstage Pass (for some birthdays particularly).

 

Hopefully I'll have clearer dates sometime in Feb-March. 

 

Anyone else planning to go? 

Btw, I had the luck to live there for over a hear an a half till last year so I wouldn't mind giving some advices if I can.

 

Welcome to Eternity's Contests!

NOW OFFICIALLY CLOSED
_{Sponsored by Eternity of course!}

We've been planning this for a while and it's finally time to announce it! Here we are going to be holding monthly contests and everyone can participate!!

The basic idea is the following. There will be 3 contests per month, a Graphics contest, a Drawings contest and an OPVs contest. The winners of each contest will be entering a draw at different points in the year, and the lucky chosen ones will be entitled to a prize!!!

Now, on to the contests....
Every person can participate on every one of the contests, but we will limit the entries to one per person per contest. That means that you can participate on all three contests if you wish but you cannot make more than one entry on each. Of course, the more contests you win, the more chances you get to win a prize!
Rule added on January 17th, 2010: You are not allowed to swap out your entry once you have posted it.

Theme:
Of course, if we are going to have so many contests, we cannot have all of the contest being the same. So, every month there will be a different theme. Each month, the entries would have to be about the H!P members whose birthday was in that month. For example: for the November contest, since Reina's birthday is in November you could make a Reina graphic, drawing and/or OPV, but you can't choose Reina on another month. It doesn't have to be about just one member but the members you choose should be within that month's theme.

Graphics contest:
Since there are many kinds of graphics (wallpapers, icons, etc.) we decided to unify this category into banners. So, the banner you make would have to be 500x300px.
Rule modified on March 1st, 2010: The size of the banners should be between 400x200px and 500x300px.
Rule added on July 6th, 2011: Animated gifs are not accepted for this contest.
Here is a sample made by our very own Rimii (Risa/Misa)


Drawings contest:
In this case there are no limitations... within reason.. since you'd be scanning a drawing, it's hard to think of pixels limitations while drawing so we won't set any, but when you scan it and choose a resolution, don't make something so big it would never load. The drawing could be with color, black and white, any style... just be creative!

OPVs contest:
The limitation here would be about time. A normal song's time would be good, usually not over 4 or 5 minutes. Nobody is gonna be disqualified for a 6 minute song but just try to be reasonable and not do a 20 min remix or something.

All entries must be submitted up until the last day of each month to be able to participate.

Now as to choosing winners....
There will be three judges who will decide on the winners after comparing all the entries. The judge will be Risa/Misa, CROWN.佐久alice and myself, Arielsoul.
The winner of each contest will not only be announced here, but their entries will be featured on our own website as well: HERE.
And the end of each year, all winners will enter a draw, and whoever gets picked will win a prize! (We may be able to give more than one prize later on but so far we can only promise one.)
Change added on January 1st, 2012: Every 4 months, the contests winners during those 4 months will enter a draw for a prize. At the end of the year, the winners of those draws will enter a new draw to win a bigger prize!

Finally the possible prizes!!
For active Eternity members: If your name is the lucky one, you are entitled to a Hello! Project PB of your choice! (As long as it is still obtainable).
For inactive Eternity members and non-members: If your name is the lucky one, you are entitled to the latest single of the Hello! Project group or soloist you choose! (If by the time you win you had already ordered or pre-ordered the single of the group you want to choose, we'll get you the very next single they release.)
Change added on January 1st, 2012: The draw held every 4 months will be for the latest single of the Hello! Project group or soloist you choose! (If by the time you win you had already ordered or pre-ordered the single of the group you want to choose, we'll get you the very next single they release.)
The draw held at the end of the year will be for a Hello! Project PB of your choice! (As long as it is still obtainable).

For several reasons (mostly economical) we've decided on those prizes so far. We are hoping to be able to offer more prizes in the future but when that happens we'll make sure to announce it.

And that should cover all the rules... if you have any questions, just go ahead and ask

You can simply submit your entries on this thread (if you participate in more than one contest, please put all your entries in one post) Winners should be announced a few days after the last day of the contests each month. I hope you all have fun!!!

------------------------------------------------------
No contests are being held currently.

I'm sure there's not a thread for this but if there is I'm sorry for missing it

Questions' simple, who's your favorite SuperHero?

In my case it would be Wolverine.. from X-men.
He's got the attitude and an unique ability that makes his as awesome as he is. On and the claws!! Pure win!

so, which one's yours?

I got the idea for this thread thanks to Himalia and his member analisys (check the "Greatest fan award" thread if you don't know what I'm talking about ).
Basically the idea is to say good stuff about the people you know in here. This is by no means a competition and this is not a place to talk bad or criticize anyone..
It's nice to read good stuff about oneself so let's see who gets people talking about them

I'll start!

Risa/Misa:
We'll she is a very active member of this forum. Her fandom knows no limits (maybe $ limits sometimes ) and she will always defend her fav members *cough* Aika *cough* But she won't see the need to attack back talking bad about other members..
She is also a very nice person to talk to and even though she could be lazy, she'll always get the hundreds of requests she gets at her graphics thread.
I also don't think I've ever seen anyone saying anything bad about her around here and that is not always something easy to accomplish.


We'll now.. let's see what else we get here (No limits on how much stuff you could say )

Thanks Alice for the banner! :3

Well... thanks to chibilolli I opened my Photoshop for the 1st time in years ... and well.. I remember that I liked it!
I am just a beginner at this, but I must thank kawaii beam! for encouraging me to open this thread
Also, I know that this thread will keep me going so I can keep practicing and improve with this
To start this thread I made some avvies of my two fav H!P members
I hope you like them!



10th icon moved to next post due to new banner.

Anyone can use them, I just ask you to credit me in return; I'll really appreciate that Any comments will be also appreciated

Regarding requests, well, as I said I'm a beginner with this, so If you request something I may not be able to do so something too complicated yet; I promise I'll try though.. please be patient with me I feel much more confident now that when I started, so feel free to request whatever you'd like (no animated gifs for the moment, and on any request I'll do what I can ) Ok.. just request what you want and I'll see what I can do
