[Clan] SingapurARASHI

NELLE · Posted: Sun Jan 07, 2007 10:25 am Post subject: [Clan] SingapurARASHI

SingapurARASHI is a clan dedicated to all Arashi fans living in the heart of the lion city, Singapore.

Singapore in the Malay language is known as Singapura and because Singapore is penned as Singapura in our National Anthem, I've decided to use it.

Now let's add Arashi at the back and bam!

You get SingapurARASHI.

This clan is open to all - even if you're not a Singaporean or not living in Singapore.

Fans from Singapore can use this section to host your meet-ups with any other fan(s) from Singapore.

As for the rest, you can inquire anything regarding Singapore or the heartlanders. You can ask about our culture(s), you can ask about Singapore's uniqueness and other random things. Especially for those planning to take a trip down to Singapore, you can also learn more about the country here or perhaps meet up with a few of us, Arashi fans living here.

Wow!

This turned out better than I expected! Wohoo!

Seems like Aibakaland has a few Sg homies yes? clapping

We should organize a meet up someday!

Angel and Karene once suggested watching Letters of Iwojima when it screens here in Singapore! drooling

But I'm kinda worried about having to sneak in 'cos even though I'm Sec 4 this year, I'd still be 15 when the movie starts showing. cry

hmm, let's see..

everyone posted here are over 16years old. so i guess it should be alrite if you sneak in between us when you enter? LoL!!

anyway i, nelle & karene having a mini outing on the 28januray sunday. interested party can come and join in the fun!! =)

EDIT:
1 February 2007 Letters From Iwo Jima will be out in singapore.

Who interested in going to watch it together?? drooling

question.. are there jsingles and albums releases in Singapore, or better yet Japan versions? what stores? where?

i can only think of Tower Records and HMV.. you have these stores there right?

i might be in Singapore on Feb16 (60/40 chance). im thinking of buying Love so Sweet there.

oh! and, can i buy idols mags there too? like Duet WinkUP etc? where?

minna.. help?

my trip is still in talks.. im not 100% sure about it. i just wanted to know if i can buy those things there ^^'

thanks thanks ^__^

If you are thinking of buying latest single here, it's a great noNO for you. Singles releases in singapore are about 2weeks-1month later than japan. You will very so fed up waiting for it though. corret me if im wrong. cuz i always so fed up waiting for HMV to release disc. tat's why i go apply a debit card!

But for magazines wise, you can buy from any kino here. Bugis or Orchard have such a big kino which sells tons of magazines. =)

Maybe we can organise a outing during your stay here? wink

nightowl · Posted: Tue Jan 09, 2007 11:54 am Post subject:

wee! that's fast sadangel88! thanks big grin

ok, so no latest releases but guaranteed to find J-cds, and mags. wow you have Kino! if im lucky enough i might get my hands on Around Asia photobook! nice! i like i like ^__^

i dont know the details of the trip yet. all i know is my mom and an older cousin talked about it last new year's eve. they both refuse to tell me, my sister and another cousin if we can tag along or not. whatever their decision is.. ill post it right away. i'd love to meet you guys ^_^

Eh hey hey there!

Singapore does sell Japan press CDs. You can find older and cheaper Jap press CDs at this music store called SEMBAWANG. You can normally find out of print singles/ cds at this store, but bear in mind that the packaging may be kind of awful looking with a few scotch tape here and there and that the orignal plastic would be removed and the case placed into their own new piece of plastic.

HMV has a rather small collection of Arashi things but you can give it a look to see what you may want. But bear in mind that the older the CDs in HMV are, the higher the price and this may go up to $72 or more.

Also keep in mind that all Tower Records branches in Singapore have wind up.

If there are CDs of any other artiste you are looking for, do feel free to ask! smile

Oh yes, you also inquired about the mags here?

They range from 12 SGD to 16 SGD for jpop mags such as Potato, Duet, Wink Up, Popolo, Myojo. As for TV guides, it ranges from 6 SGD to 9 SGD there about. Please bear in mind that Kinokuniya only orders ONE shipment of Wink Up mags and this usually comes on the first 2 days on the 2nd week of the month BEFORE it's month issue. Duet comes in at a later date as compared to the other mags too. As far as I know, Popolo, Myojo and Potato usually stock on the same day and these are the few that have more shipment units coming in. Please also keep in mind that prices may vary due to the different modes of shipment the store had ordered for.

And you're from the Philippines?

Kewl. 'Cos I recently just had my Tita and Tito come over from Leyte for December last year! Perhaps if you live in the Cebu/ Bohol area, I might be able to visit you when I go there during my break somewhere in June! (but school starts in June over there T_T )

Tkder: I know it's expensive, but most of us have school on weekdays and it hard to meet a timing? Hmm. X(

nightowl: Oh? I have no idea how much the magazine is, cuz i nv buy magazine before. Sorry.. Perhaps you can ask nelle about it yea?

Sure, we can watch the non-weekend show!

Provided I am able to sneak in and join you guys.

But I have school so I might have to see how first. confused

And beware, I steal popcorn!
