^ Now that's interesting. Could I ask you for more details? (who's blog? what was the content of the post?)
Of course it was Tomo~mi's blog. The content was telling her to get better soon since she was sick at the time. I told her not to tire herself out and to rest a little. The fans can all wait for her. I included some Chiyuu~ in Japanese too. Within couple minutes (5-10?)... it was deleted lol.
No problem.... I had to rewrite it in my terrible crappy Japanese xO *bangs head on table* Why do they make it so hard? @_@ Share Gaijin fandom plx! lol. The only exception was HAPPY BIRTHDAY of course... Like so many people left that kind of comments haha. The only English that passes.
I came up with a few reasons why a blog comment might've been deleted: Offensive language. Not likely in this case. Spam filter. I think they have them, don't they? I used to see blogs that had obvious spam comments, but not so much recently. For example, I know that such facilities exist for the software that runs this forum. Maybe Tomomi's blog has a "no English comments" filter. JK Censorship by their agency. Do they have that much control? Maybe the comment was too long? Nah, that doesn't seem like a reason to delete a comment. I've seen English-only comments in Michiru's blog, which is where I got this idea. It was only a few sentences, but it was more than just "Happy Birthday!".
I think they felt that Tomomi wouldn't be able to understand a full-on English comment. Simple English phrases like "Happy Birthday" are one thing, everyone knows those phrases, but I doubt Tomomi would be able to understand a 100% English comment.
Well, Tomo~mi would hopefully grab a translator of course... like she did in ecwx's case (that lucky bastard xD) I like to believe that it was a moderator or person who watches her blog deleted it cause they couldn't understand it and didn't know if it was offensive or not :'[ I should try on Michiru's! (Transition to on topic YEAH!)
^ That's why I suggested keeping the comments short. I guess "uncomplicated" would be another suggestion... Imagine the kind of message you could appreciate if you were an Idol, and you received a message from a fan written in Japanese, and your understanding of Japanese is based on those Japanese classes you took in high school. Okay, maybe writing an "uncomplicated" message is a bit complicated, but it might be worth it. Michiru took the time to answer over 75 questions from fans in her blog, in a series of blog entries. Shiho did something similar.
^ Yeah, if they knew that I learned Japanese just for them, I'm sure they'd be happy ^_^ Tried commenting yesterday.. but my internet died. -_-;; what good luck lol. Anyways, My lovely graduates! :] I almost like them all now hehe~ (still don't really know Narita Risa :[ ) Rina Hana Ohe Hitomi ! I like this picture a lot for some reason, maybe its cause its too stunning haha. Or I just miss them lots D:
I remember when I wrote English comments on singer Chieco Kawabe's blog, which was all about her learning English. But my comments were ALWAYS deleted... it's like wtf!?! She's learning English but it's not ok to speak English!? They probably just delete them because the staff can't understand it so they don't want to risk it being rude or whatever...
^ Yep, exactly my thoughts on that x] OFT. Chieko Kawabe... Elfen Lied ending singer.. voice actor... "Will you be my Girl?" Love it xP
I wonder what inside the graduation Special DVD (5 member from team A). Is is just the reported video from LOD or new video featuring the 5 graduated member?
New video featuring the members. There's 5 parts I think, each about the single member and they perform a solo song I believe. Kyobu wrote a review of it somewhere.
I love seeing pictures of new graduates and old graduates together. Makes me happy! I'm a graduate fan! x] (I will become one eventually anyway~)
Ohyay Thanks for the picture IOM. Is there anything on there apart from that short text + picture? I can't find a link or anything.
I know There's nothing there really apart from a link to the staff blog with the same information: グラジョ編集部ブログOPEN I gather that's a subscription blog and it's updated daily, but it's only available on mobiles (confirmation would be good!)
