About the Arashi Around America Tour Project
So what is the Arashi Around America Tour Project?
Very simple...The Arashi Around America Tour Project is a bold endeavor by 2 sisters - both Arashi fans - to bring together Arashi fans all across America. By uniting the Arashi fans scattered around America, the project aims to send a clear and united message to Arashi: Your American fans love you!!
Eventually, we hope that in realizing they have a huge fanbase here, we can convince Arashi to have a concert here too!
How do we hope to accomplish this?
Glad you asked!
In two ways:
1. Jigsaw postcard initiative
2. Arashi Around America (AAA) Tour video
Jigsaw postcard initiative
Let us explain... a jigsaw postcard is one big postcard that will be cut up into many interlocking pieces - like a jigsaw puzzle. Each piece will be signed by an Arashi fan on one side. Afterwards, they will be sent to Japan to the Arashi Fan Mail address. Once each piece is put in place, it will reveal that all the little postcards combine to form one big postcard with a united message from Arashi's American fans. But how will Arashi know that they should piece together our jigsaw postcard? That's where the AAA Tour video comes in...
AAA Tour video
The AAA Tour video will be the culmination of the whole project. It will document us travelling from city to city, from Arashi fan to Arashi fan, from the East Coast to the West. Part of this video is showing each fan from different reaches of America holding their own piece of the jigsaw postcard and in the end, the video will show the puzzle being put together and what it will look like when it's complete. Also in this video is our request to Arashi for a concert here in America.
Seems like a daunting task? Sure does... but with your help we can make it happen.
Now the question is...America, how much do you love Arashi? We'd love to hear from you!!!
More details will be posted in the blog soon so stop by often!
About jr Storm productions
jr Storm productions is a collaborative effort of 2 sisters. The name jr Storm came from not only combining the initals of their names but also a play on 'J-Storm' - Arashi's prodcution company. By a happy coincedence, it formed 'jr Storm' which also could also mean 'junior' Storm - a miniature J-Storm.

Hi!
I love it! This is Sassy_arashi by the way.
I'm so glad to find others so on board for something like this. I had ideas but you two really know your stuff.
ok..enough arse kissing..wait one more...MUAWWHAHHH..okay..moving on..
Thanks for taking such initiative. I'll do what ever you want. Just command me!
:)
hi sassy,
our warmest welcome to you! thank you so much for your comment and support. we couldn't help but blush after reading it^^ we are so ecstatic that you feel so psyched about this project. it's definitely fans like yourself that will make this dream a reality. we (my sister and i) are merely facilitators; in the end, it is the love and dedication of the American fans that will shine through and hopefully convince Arashi - and Johnny! - to take notice.
really appreciate the offer to help out! as soon as we get things finalized, we'll come up with something more concrete, but in the meantime, anything you can do to help spread the word will be great!
I think this is a great idea! I'll help out as much as I can! I think this will be a great way to show the boys how much they're loved in the US (and JE as well). Well, I know AIBA knows there are fans in the US, but wow, if there was a way to get them to come here, just...WOW!
*applauds* I can't wait to get started!

Hi!
I actually kind of started something to get Arashi to notice us american fans!
(more details here: http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/330348.html)
It would be great to join our efforts, how about a section for your project on the fanclub website? You would get more exposure too! ^-^

hi julie,
absolutely! we can use all the help we can get. we definitely won't mind some real estate space *praying for prime space* on your planned FC website -_^
agree with you on collaborating. what better way to show a united front than by working together, ne?^^ perhaps we can discuss more via email? let's be in touch!
wishing for success in both our endeavors! ^^

good idea and great project...
"Arashi Around America Tour Project"... welcome American fans^^
great Idea I'll help! ^^
hope Arashi can watch the video and realize how much we love them oOo
hey! wow this is a great idea ^_^ my sister and i are also arashi fans so we'd both like to participate in this. one question...are you in the arashi fanclub? cause i think only fanclub members can send in packages like videos and stuff...or else they'll just ship it back to you.
This is such a great idea.. thanks for your effort to set up the community ... where We can power up .
Yeah... hope JE group realize America
fanbase IS profitable...
selling JE stuffs here is good idea... bringing Arashi here to hold a concert IS really great idea yo...
Lets work together and show them How much we love Arashi...
Thanks

Hey!
Wow!! I'm totally into this!! I want to put a postcard jigsaw piece!! On all the forums I'm known as tinkchick555. So what exactly is the jigsaw piece?Like an actual postcard??
this seems like a really great idea! i'd love arashi to have a concert here and what better way to show them that they have a lot of american fans than a puzzle and video?? i'll do the best i can to help this project. hopefully i won't forget about it since i have so many things to do at the moment.
loving arashi,
melissa k.
OMG!! I AGREE!!
THIS IS SOOO COOL!

anywayz..ill totally look at the page/blog every now and then and will try to get others that live where i live and more about this...!
YAY!
haha..sending arashi love from rye,NY!
Do you really think they'll have time to make the puzzle or even read the postcards??
Hi there! I'm Liz, and I'm an Arashi fan from America! I've already sent Arashi 1 letter telling how much I like them, I'm going to send my second letter soon (to Masaki-chan, if I can! >_<;; lol) but yay! I wish Arashi could come and give a live concert here!!
I'd like to help in whatever way I possibly can! :)
hi!!! i'm very exited about this project. so, if i read it right, some fans will be traveling to other states and videotaping other fans and their jigsaw pieces, right? if so, who are those fans and where will they visit??? (i want them to come to where i live!!)
to our anonymous and dedicated arashi fan,
we are very glad to hear that you are excited about the project! yes, we will be travelling and filming other fans with their jigsaw pieces. if you are really interested in being part of the video and finding out if we'll be coming to your city, send us a quick email at arashiaroundamerica@gmail.com.
Hi,
I too love Arashi and have been wishing for a concert here in the US. By the way, I'm Yadira. I too would like to send a piece of that puzzle so whenever you're in california contact me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just have to say, y'all are brilliant.... lol. I think this whole thing is a great idea, and i hope it works! I would love to see Arashi in America, and I would gladly drive (or fly) anywhere in the US to go see their concert.. :-)
hi bob!
thanks for your comment!
we're keeping our fingers crossed too :)
let's hope it does work and we'll be able to see them stateside soon!
