Arashi Around Asia 2 Concert Updates

For people looking for updates on the upcoming ARASHI Around Asia 2 Tour Series (AAA2), please check these links which I’ll try to update whenever I find new info. I can’t verify or read everything, I’ll just post links that may be helpful for you to get informed.

TICKETS:
Please note that ticket websites would be in their local language (Korean, Chinese, Japanese) so you may need foreign assistance in reading them. Please read the source post first to understand the original posters’ notes. Also, tickets are sold weeks before the event, some would accept reservations, so it’s better to check out the sites selling them often to make your chances of getting the tickets possible.

Maou Episode 1 softsubs Now Available

Suketeru@LJ

A group of fansubbers (or solo subber, I guess) just released the softsubs for Maou’s first episode. It is noted as synched with the MQ raws from D-Addicts (the one tagged as Maou ep01 (704×396 DivX6) RAW?) So, to those who want to keep their raws (for screencap lovers), you may try this .ASS softsubs and save the world of Internet bandwidth!

Let’s all support Maou and Arashi fansubbers in general. (Edit: To say Suketeru is ANOTHER group of fansubbers… is a little rude coz they all have my respect for subbing, so I’m sorry for that)

D-addicts post
Suketeru – Subber’s LJ – includes instructions on how you use them (and to give a little thanks-to-you note to the subber)

Sakurai-Storm@Vox

I would have made a new entry for this coz I believe every fansubbers deserves his/her own little space in my blog, but I believe that might create confusion so I’m updating this post instead. For future subs releases on Maou (yes, I’ll be blogging more often about Maou [and Riida], I guess), I’ll be using only one entry which has all the links to the subbers’ post. And minus my long notes like this.

Please do visit sakurai-storm’s page and take a look at the softsubs (yes, thank you Lord, there’s plain text!) even if you got the suketeru’s. She had a hard time already pimping her subs to a few people since there’s the first one already. (NO ONE SHOULD PISS OFF ANY PEOPLE OFFERING YOU SOMETHING! BECAUSE YOU’LL FIND YOURSELF WONDERING WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU LOSE THEM! Of course, I’m not talking about SS alone)

Lastly, I never thought more than one subber(group) would do all these hardwork for Maou (must be my first time to follow fansubs?). AND there’s this thing called SUBBERS WAR? Sounds like the mighty “network war”. I don’t think I like how that sounds.

STORMY team sub@LJ

They don’t exactly release softsubs but for those who prefer no hassles in handling the softsubs or plainly a fan of the team, grab the hi-res video file (1280×720) complete with floating letters (or words, whatever), sit back and enjoy!

Akusub@Blogger

It’s never too late to get some goodies especially if someone puts effort in giving them to you. A shower of love for Riida and Toma!
