Jin Akanishi Fandom

Seeing as there aren’t enough fans who responded to the project yet, we have decided to extend the period and give another due date: June 8, 2012.

Please send your video or image to JABEP as soon as possible!

The article about Jin in the May issue of ViVi Thailand turns out to be… the same as in ViVi magazine published earlier this year, on February 20, 2012.

Nothing new, unfortunately. Sorry, dear Loyal Subjects!

It appears the first draft of the movie is a bit disappointing, as the story is slow in building momemtum and, well, it’s unfinished. But remember that the final editing is a LONG WAY from being over.

It also seems that we’ll get A LOT MORE of Jin than we all expected! Which is a GOOD THING.

And he is of course gorgeous as hell, as we’ve already glimpsed.

Besides… if the movie turns out to be a bit boring, the fact that Jin is in it will be worthwhile in my eyes! XD

Thanks JABEP and other subjects for sharing these reports.

Channel V (VHD) wants your vote for the next chart topping artist in Asia, so please #SupportJinAkanishi by voting for SUN BURNS DOWN on their site!

» First, you have to register at www.mymovieview.com (it’s free!), and follow instructions. 

For the Loyal Subjects living in the area, you know what to do this Wednesday night! And you better report your experience with the rest of the world! ^_^

Soul Krush Entertainment, which specializes in promoting talents from Asia and America, interviewed Jin before his San Francisco concert.

It seems there will be an article about Jin in the Vivi Thailand May issue. No indication whether it’s an interview or not yet.

Thanks to @qoqoro for the share.

Jin’s JAPONICANA is #1 on the Oricon chart for the month of March 2012, under the category Western-style music.

SUN BURNS DOWN is now #38 on the US Billboard Dance/Club songs chart for the coming week (May 12).

Thanks to @janeeyo74 for sharing the info.

Universal Pictures have officially changed the date of release for 47 RONIN on their website to February 8, 2013 (in the US).

Channel [V] and [V]HD are “the leading music and entertainment brands in Asia, part of Fox International Channels”.

They have named Jin as their new “Breakout Artist”.

MovieW and RecoShin, two Japanese blogs, have reported that 47 RONIN’s release is to be pushed back to April 2013. No date specified.

So far, Universal Pictures has not confirmed this new date. I’ve tweeted them about it. Hopefully, they’ll give an answer soon or release a statement.

edit: It seems the date is STILL February 8th, 2013 for the US release, but will be in April in Japan.

ENJOY THIS MONTH OF MAY, SUPPORTING JIN AKANISHI ALL THE WAY!!!

Here’s MY PERSONAL PROJECT for this May 2012 #SupportJinAkanishi campaign!

Note: This FAN ART video project is NOT TO BE CONFUSED with the worldwide fan video project that will be edited by JABEP (where you share your favorite song of Jin and why).

» This project of mine is to let the ARTISTIC talent of Jin fans shine!

Here are the details:

1) Create a PAINTING or MANIPULATED PIC of Jin or any other form of art (that you take a picture of). Must be JPEG format.

2) No PAIRINGS allowed. This is a Jin-only fan project.

3) No restriction on the width or height, but try to make it fit into a widescreen format (for the video).

4) Think of a TITLE and a LITTLE DESCRIPTION (100 words maximum), where you share your creative process, what inspired you, of what material the art is made of, etc. DO NOT FORGET to include your name or artist name.

5) Please SUBMIT your art at nika28@live.ca by MAY 25, 2012.

SHOW THE FANDOM AND THE WORLD THE ARTIST IN YOU ! ^¸^

3 bloggers and movie buffs - Peter Sciretta from SlashFilm, Alex from FirstShowing and Frosty from Collider - discussed 47 RONIN after the short footage shown at CinemaCon, among other films presented.

» Fast forward to 13:10 to watch what they had to say about it. No mention of Jin.
