Probably stepping on unseen toes

Not to be rude but you need permission from someone to post the scans who were done by someone completely different? Really now. Least it's properly credited at the bottom.

I seriously rolled my eyes. Time for a break lol

Lol I just saw that too and wondered whether it was a language issue or what, I mean, it's kind of ridiculous, really XD

[epicwaters.livejournal.com]

I didn't even think of language issues XD I would have said it in the post itself but I'm not really a crabby person and figured it'd be 'flaming'.
I can flame in my journal though lol

[enshinge.livejournal.com]

I also report that I've seen no rainbows yesterday and today. Aww.

[epicwaters.livejournal.com]

awww.. bummer :( If it makes you feel better, I haven't either! XD

[elyndys.livejournal.com]

I know, the issues surrounding the posting of scans get weirder and weirder! o_O But then I don't get why people can't just share normally, like in the old days... lol. /nostalgia

[epicwaters.livejournal.com]

My guess is the permission thing was about not having duplicate posts.
I'm reminiscing too XD
This new source though not only shares scans but really nice Janiben/MAP video and I'll be damned if crediting is misplaced! *is greedy* I guess that's why it bothered me lol

[elyndys.livejournal.com]

I have NO idea what Sakuraibaby is or any of these new-fangled places, lol - but if they actually let the stuff be posted elsewhere then that's more generous than some! I don't understand why it all got so hush-hush! :(

[epicwaters.livejournal.com]

new-fangled XDD <33

Yeah she does! ^^, she just wants credit placed with the reups. I guess people got possessive of their sharing or grew really big egos from comments. Then there's the whole 'we don't like foreigners' forums too.. lol I really don't know. I haven't been in fandom long enough so I'm just spouting out what I've seen. XD scanning and sharing is such a touchy topic now.

[elyndys.livejournal.com]

I find it weird that it suddenly seemed to become like this - especially because the people who are so possessive usually don't even seem to be Japanese! I really don't understand how this atmosphere came about, lol. I do suspect there's an element of xenophobia about it, which is really quite sad. :/ It just makes me feel bitter!

[epicwaters.livejournal.com]

I try not to feel bitter. I think seeing stuff being taken down from Youtube, fansub streaming, and then there was that year where people in Japan were charged for sharing scans of manga.. or something.. creeped people out and pushed them underground so to speak. Then the whole posts about what is 'right' and 'wrong' about scanning and taping stuff.. it's a bit disheartening. I just hope sakuraibaby sticks around for a lo~ng time. XD

[moogle-tey.livejournal.com]

I was confused by that as well since I assumed suikacented wasn't running sakuraibaby...and then I completely forgot about it three seconds later because HOLY MARU. Priorities, I have them.
Oh...fandom.

[epicwaters.livejournal.com]

I don't blame you XD I saw teaser scans and was like helloooooooo. Out of everyone in eito I wish Maru would get a fashion contract for modeling. Maybe a big billboard underwear ad 8Dv

[moogle-tey.livejournal.com]

Not to be a crazy Maru fangirl, but I agree! I think there's some potential there if he gets to know his angles a little better (which, if the past five months of scans are any indication, I think he HAS somewhat - but again, crazy Maru fangirl~) He's kind of lacking a niche, that could be it!

I can see it now...

[epicwaters.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I'm a crazy 8 fangirl and even I see it. And as you've just shown he's already modeling the panties XD I really adored his Bidan photo shoot and as he's gotten older he's filled out more and just unf. Someone get him a knockout photographer. and then photograph him with his bass *___________________*

[moogle-tey.livejournal.com]

Oh!! I love that Bidan shoot! I remember when my friends first showed me that and I couldn't figure out who I was looking at. XD; He has! I think Maru's definitely one of those guys who does and will look better with age. I don't think he'll ever be in +act, but those photographers are the best - they need to freelance. XD

Who knows - maybe getting closer and closer to the 8th year something like that will happen! *eternal optimism* XD

[epicwaters.livejournal.com]

Gah if something happened with him I think my face would split from the grin. *is go for the optimism* 8D

You hear Okura will be in a drama this summer? I wish Maru would get his butt in there too.

[moogle-tey.livejournal.com]

Oh, me too. I really want something to happen for the kid here. I mentioned the niche earlier and it's something that's on my mind lately - seems like everyone else has theirs and are in positions where in ten years, *IF* something happened they'd be fine, you know? I enjoy the present, but I can't help consider the future, since not everyone can be a Higashiyama. And Maru's got the bass (and he's quite good at it, but we're not talking studio musician either) but it just seems like there's something else that he hasn't quite found yet. I DUNNO - crazy fangirl is crazy. I just find myself worrying about him in really stupid ways. XD; D8 What if the other kids aren't playing with him? I don't have a maternal bone in my body and yet somehow Eito has turned me into a concerned parent. XD;

I DID hear about that!! I can't wait - though if this is like any other medical based JDrama, I might have to occasionally throw things at the wall due to their abuse of science. XD But I'll get over it because NURSE TACCHON! 8D

[epicwaters.livejournal.com]

It's amazing what 8 does to their fans. I'm so with you on the parental factor.

lol yeah abuse it will. Hopefully Yoshi will be in many episodes and speak XDD this probably means we'll keep skinny!Tatsu a little longer. Did you see the recent MAP and all his cute 'あら♥'? xD squishy will always be a squishy~

[elyndys.livejournal.com]

Haha I'd just like to say thank you for reminding me of that photo... ;9

[moogle-tey.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, no problem - I try not to go a day without reminding someone of it! 8|

[ohmiya-sg.livejournal.com]

Why didn't I see this post on my f-list? Weird~ Anyway, I ignored the post on Eden because I'm constantly confused by poor English in fandom, and it wasn't worth deciphering. XD

[skycouldfall.livejournal.com]

suikascented is my friend and she explained to me what really happened. It's a misunderstanding, really. She usually uploads the scans but didn't have time so the other girl offered to do it for her. Her ENglish is not that good, I'm assuming, so that's where the misunderstanding came from. :)

[ohmiya-sg.livejournal.com]

That's pretty much what I figured, but I still didn't spend any time thinking about it.
