The Zukki Appreciation Thread

[PrizedPossession]

I don't know if it's possible, I don't know how many people are willing to, and I don't know if it is a good idea, but I was wondering if those who are sending mail in would mind buying a bunch of green glow sticks and mail those with the drawings and letters they are already sending (and attach a flag of where you are from to the glow sticks).



If you don't understand the purpose, then I guess it's a bad idea because the message isn't strong enough, but I was wondering about how many people would be up for it.



Because I was hoping that we could do what the fans in the concerts do and shine glow sticks of the idol we are supporting. I am also hoping that the UFA Fanclub's inbox will be flooded with Zukki's colour sent in from around the world to show that while we can't be there in the concerts, we are still supportive of Zukki.

That would increase the weight of the package drastically, so unless you plan on sending TnB extra money for the shipping...then no.

I was thinking that people would pay for the glow sticks that they send themselves, but yeah, I wasn't all to sure about this idea anyway...how much extra money and how would I be able to send it to TnB anyway?

[Shoujo Q]

Maybe like one or two glow sticks but sending someone a whole mess of glowsticks is just a really stupid idea.

[tsukinobyouin]

No glowsticks please. For one, I just don't think they have the same meaning when it's not a concert. But the main problem I have with them is that they have the potential to break and ruin the rest of the package. I'd rather not take that chance.





Reminder to everyone: If you are sending me something by physical mail, it needs to be in my mailbox by July 20th. I live in the U.S. near Washington D.C., if that helps you in figuring out when you need to get your things in the mail. If you need something translated, try to have it ready by July 13th or sooner, that way it can be translated and given back to you in plenty of time for you to mail your stuff. Scans or digital submissions are okay too!

I heard about this project on tumblr, which sent me to the blog and now here. I already submitted a picture by email, but lol I think mine will be the worst one, I am not artistic at all, and did it in a rush. Still, I hope Kanon is happy when she sees the end results of the project. Thanks for organizing!

I have a beautiful black and white picture I drew in high school. 5 by 8 inches I believe. I would like to write something nice on a



glossy reproduction of it but I have trouble with Kanji. If someone can translate a 100-word message for me then give me some tips



on making my kanji balanced I would like to include it in the package. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

You can PM me your 100 word message and I'll translate it for you. As for kanji, don't worry about it too much. It doesn't have to be perfect, she will know this is coming from foreign fans and will probably be happy just to see that you tried. :)

[NekoKaiSai]

Could someone be so kind as to check mine? Mainly just to see if it makes sense/is appropriate and that I'm not using weird Kanji. What it's more or less supposed to say will be below it.

親愛なるズッキ、

　私の日本語を許して下さい。あなたは楽しくてぴちぴちな笑顔の美しい女の子だ。モーニング娘。のピョコピョコウルトラのプロフィール画像にはズッキの笑顔は大きいだから、頭角を現す。そんなズッキをもっと見たい。あなたは歌ってると踊りてるとかわいくておかしいだってる女の子はズッキだを見るのが好きだ。



愛を込めて、

(name,country)



Dear Zukki,

Please forgive my Japanese. You are a beautiful girl with a fun, energetic smile. In Morning Musume's profile picture for Pyoco Pyoco Ultra because your smile is big, you stand out. I want to see such Zukki more. I enjoy watching you singing, dancing, and being the sweet, funny girl that you are.



Love,

(name,country)

私の日本語を許して下さい。ズッキはいつも楽しそうな元気な笑顔を持ってる美しい女の子です。モーニング娘。の「ピョコピョコウルトラ」のプロフィール画像の中でズッキの大きな笑顔が目立ちます。そんなズッキをもっと見たいです。ズッキの歌って踊る姿とかわいくて面白い性格を見るのが楽しいです。



You should probably add something at the end like 頑張って下さい！　Please do your best!.



It's better to use someone's name rather than say 'anata' so I just switched them to say 'Zukki.'

I just bolded it to show you what I did to it.

Thank you! I'm going to attach a photo of me holding a happy birthday sign, should I still also add the ganbatte thing at the end?

I think that would be fine :) If you wanted to vary it up, you could put "応援しています！" (I'm cheering you on!)

[tsukinobyouin]

Reminder!



If you are mailing me something, it must be in my mailbox by July 20th.



If you want to send a digital submission for the collage that must be emailed by July 15th.



Even if you're sending something by snail mail too, if you want to be part of the collage in addition to that, your digital submission needs to meet the earlier deadline so PQ has time to work on it :)

[NekoKaiSai]

I sent my picture for the collage with my letter, is that okay?

[tsukinobyouin]

As long as it gets here by the 15th that's fine - and I don't think that should be a problem based on when you sent it :)



Edit: Ok, I think I must have done something wrong with my PMs because I can't figure out which person this one is from, but I received a letter for Kanon today from someone who included a bunch of stickers. Whoever you are, I just wanted to let you know it got to me safely :)

[Noa]

Is there still time to have a message translated? I forgot to send mine earlier.

[momoirosaya]

If you post it here we can translate for you.

[Noa]

Happy Birthday Kanon! I hope your birthday is as bright as you are. Please smile a lot, because when you do, you shine brighter than the sun. You’re a beautiful girl who gets lovelier every day. I’ll support you forever, so keep trying your best. Happy birthday little butterfly.

Thank you!

[tsukinobyouin]

REMINDER.



If you want to be part of the collage, which I highly encourage because it would be awesome, we need your photos by the end of this weekend.



If you want to send a letter/card/gift through the mail, it probably should be sent out Today or Monday to assure that it'll reach me by Friday, unless you're paying for faster shipping or you live really close to me.



I hope to get lots more stuff this week, because a lot of you that said you were going to participate haven't sent me anything. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... pyeyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' />

I made some tiny corrections. :)

[momoirosaya]

^Okay haha yeah thanks cause I did this right after I woke up and the only word I could could think of for beautiful was utsukushii and I thought that might sound a bit over formal so I just went with kawaii, I totally forgot about kirei!

[Noa]

Thank you so much guys!

[Shoujo Q]

I sorted all the entries so far and we have a grand total of 20 countries represented. Thanks to Australia for finally throwing a fan into the mix to bring it up to 20.

BRB MAKING SIGN

[Shoujo Q]

You don't miss it, till I say you miss it!



I haven't started yet. I need to go buy some ink and paper and crap that I forgot to buy yesterday.

[Noa]

I don't think I can get my stuff to TnB in time >< Can anyone give me the address to send fanmail so I can just send it in? Because I don't think I can get it in the mail before the 19th.

[Shoujo Q]

....DEAD



Will post pictures later. (Not of dead body, but of murder suspect.)

Insert Kanon's name in the "ooo" in the Japanese version or "xxxx" in the romanized version.



If you can send me at least a portion of yours digitally, I can include it with the package so that we have one big giant foreign fan box. Could you scan or type a letter/drawing/whatever or take a picture of yourself with a sign? It won't make it into the collage, but I could print it and put it in a cute envelope. You could still mail the rest separately :)
