************* IDEAS FOR TOMA'S (30th!!) BIRTHDAY FANS PROJECT/CELEBRATION????? ^_^ *************

[kate-firefly.livejournal.com]

Toma's 30th birthday is less than a month 9 DAYS away!!!!!!! in case you didn't know, his bday is on October 7th. usually, i send him a bday card with messages from fans inside, but i want to do something different this year. and because i have a feeling toma never goes through his fanmail. lol. even if he does, who knows if he sees our card, since he must get a ton of fanmail each year. lol. most fans just go to twitter and tweet about him on his bday at midnight (in japan time, of course). other fans will make fanart or collages and post it up at tumblr. some people make videos.

DO ANY OF YOU HAVE IDEAS OF WHAT WE COULD DO TO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY????? i think it would be nice if it was something easy that a lot of people could do...

i'm not sure yet, but i want to try something like...using instagram or twitter. hmm. like...each person takes a picture of their birthday message or something special they made/baked for toma, or take a pic with something toma-related, or something. or even just making a collage of toma pics and writing a nice bday message for him. and for people who have the LINE Camera app, it's so easy to decorate a pic with all kinds of stickers and there's a ton of nice filters there! =)

now, i know there's a lot of lazy or busy toma fans out there that probably won't want to do this, but that's fine. but i think it'd be nice to share pics of things we're doing to celebrate toma's bday or something we made for him, etc., too. i'm still not sure...i want to think of something really easy to get a lot of people involved.

HMM.... I GUESS SO FAR, ALL I CAN THINK OF IS PEOPLE TAKING A PIC OF ANYTHING RELATING TO TOMA OR TOMA'S BIRTHDAY AND THEN TAG IT WITH #toma_birthday. IF POSSIBLE, POST IT AT MIDNIGHT, RIGHT AT THE START OF TOMA'S BIRTHDAY, IN JAPAN TIME. #toma_birthday, that's always the main hashtag. either using twitter or instagram. if you don't use those, then post on tumblr or livejournal or whatever. =)

plan a definite hashtag?
and link our twitter accounts on twipple so it would trend in japan *hopefully he can see it*

[kate-firefly.livejournal.com]

based on the last few years, i guess people will be using these: #toma_birthday, #生田斗真, #love_toma, #生田斗真30, #ocTOMAfest. pretty sure #toma_birthday will be the main one.

maybe we can do something relating to toma turning 30. hmm.

oh, that's a good idea, but how do you sync your twitter with twipple??

[zolalupin.livejournal.com]

what on earth is twipple?? lol! is that like twitter in japan?

[kate-firefly.livejournal.com]

yeah, it is. haha.

actually, i'm thinking of trying to make a cute bento for toma's bday. yey... xD

sorry for the late reply :'(

twipple have this option that will let us log in via twitter, then our tweets will be on twipple too and counted in their trending too

it's ok. not a lot of ppl tweeted anyway. and it was like 90% japanese ppl, since most messages were written in japanese. i don't think we were trending in anyway. at least no one said we were...
