OMGGGG. lolllllllll. i saw this on twitter and i just had to share it here. i think a lot of us can relate to this. hahahahaha... once you've joined a fandom, it might be easy to totally get sucked in and obsessed with it and spend way too much time on it. and it's hard to stop. xD i do feel that there have been times when i've spent way too much time fangirling about toma, definitely. it's not good. lol. there needs to be a balance. even though it's fun to live vicariously through toma, but i should be living my own life. hahaha. i know that now. anyway....

.

HERE'S A FUN POLL WITH A BUNCH OF FANGIRL/TOMA RELATED QUESTIONS!!!! ENJOY!!

AND IF ANYONE FEELS LIKE COMMENTING AND DISCUSSING THIS STUFF, THAT WOULD BE FINE WITH ME!!! hahaha. i love a good discussion. ^___^

i'm kind of surprised and sad about that too. O__O
but toma's only active (promoting stuff or has photoshoots, interviews, on tv shows) for a few months out of the year, it seems. lol. so of course people will get bored and start liking some other celebrity more.

yeah, i bet it's mostly ARASHI fans. haha. i am not really an arashi fan, but i guess i like ohno cuz he's so quirky and weird and artistic. hahaha. not really attracted to them, though. i guess nino is cute, but i don't feel attracted to him.

yeah, that's barely activity of Toma sometime made me nervous that he would loose fans ..including me because while waiting for his new stuff , I will have to watch something else..and might get bored of him . So I keep myself busy on tumblr..to remind myself that I really like him..haha..

[kate-firefly.livejournal.com]

lol.... i think it's fine if you leave the fandom for a while if nothing's going on. you can always come back.

[mcjane83.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's possible anymore. I am already so addictive to Toma..haha..I like a korean actor before Toma, I watch something else while wait for his new drama, then I found Toma..now I switch to Toma, not fanling him anymore..so I think that's why some old fans of Toma switch to someone else when nothing going on with Toma. But it doesn't mean they don't like him anymore.

hahaha...
well, i know what you mean, because i left a fandom i was with for many years a while after joining the toma fandom. but it's because around that same time, the fans became less active. also, it was a hong kong singer, and around that time, everyone started fangirling at weibo, which i didn't want to sign up for. and i think they were all posting in chinese anyway... the english-speaking fans just disappeared mostly. =(

[mcjane83.livejournal.com]

it's true, Chinese fans and Jap fans are more active..I think English speaking fans are probably just too lazy to leave comments ..me!..well I was active a while before I leave any comments..hehe..I want to join weibo too, but can't read Chinese..so just follow them to get news, that's all.
Oh, I want to join ITC (chinese sub group) , they have lot of Toma's old vids..I heard it's very difficult to join..wonder anyone success of joining them.

[kate-firefly.livejournal.com]

hahaha. i think there's always some fans that are lazy to comment. but we have less english speaking fans than chinese or japanese speaking fans, so we are more affected by it.

i have heard of that group, and it seems IMPOSSIBLE to join, unless you speak chinese. lol.

[mcjane83.livejournal.com]

ah btw I also like Ohno for the same reason but not attracted to him..haha same with Nino cute, opinionated and brat..but I get bored at them sometime b/c they're everywhere..

[kate-firefly.livejournal.com]

hahaha. =P cool.
yeah. i don't understand why they're so super popular, but i guess they'll just keep being super popular forever, it seems. HAHAHA. xD

[mcjane83.livejournal.com]

I think they're popular b/c of their TV show not their music. I like their variety show sometime when they have nice guest like Nagase and Toma, the guest are funny not them..constantly in the public eyes also help a lot. Anyway, I just didn't think them anything special like Toma..if only Toma was offered to do a popular TV show like them, Toma can be even more famous.

[kate-firefly.livejournal.com]

hmm... i dunno. toma doesn't seem to like doing variety shows. haha. it's hard for certain people to do variety shows. i wouldn't want him to do one and fail at it, like yamashita or some other people...

[mcjane83.livejournal.com]

I think he can do it well..Toma's just really serious , he just scare at first bc he didn't repair for it..i think haha..I miss his hosting at boyclub..he's so cute, funny and hyper. Some TV host said he could be comedian..Yamapi 's not friendly as Toma so no wonder he fail. I think Toma can do anything..he's perfect..XD

[mcjane83.livejournal.com]

also I think it would be nice if they unite Toma, Yamapi pair doing a talk show (not possible righ?)...ahhh..Yamapi 's just really shy but Toma help him get over it..They're perfect pair...but yamapi by himself is very boring. When Sho doing show by himself, he's super boring..man..so working in a group would help a lot.

[kate-firefly.livejournal.com]

hmm. i dunno. it's been forever since toma tried to host something. i don't know if he could still be good at it. haha.

but it's a good idea to get toma + some other people to host a show together. i think toma + yamapi is not really possible. lol. i have heard that yamapi is boring when hosting shows. haha.
