New Granrodeo forum & contest!

I’m really enjoying updating Yokubou with new news and pics, and I plan to keep doing so for a long time to come. But even with comments, it’s very much a one-way street:  I post something, people look at it and maybe repost, or follow a link. It’s not particularly interactive.

So I decided to start a forum for Rodeo Boys and Rodeo Girls to get together and talk about Kiiyan, about e-zuka, about Granrodeo:  http://yokuboumugendai.motionsforum.com/

(there’s a link on the site banner here, too “Fan Forum”)

Please feel free to sign up, to introduce yourselves in the Rodeo Boys & Rodeo Girls forum and to get talking to your fellow fans.

And to encourage you to do so … I’m having a contest!

Kiiyan Treasure Hunt

Rules:

  • You must be a registered user on http://yokuboumugendai.motionsforum.com/.
  • Find an image, video or audio clip that matches each of the clues below. You may use something for more than one clue (e.g., a pic Kiiyan wearing an anklet while wearing shorts would count for both those clues).
  • Don’t use fan art (including your own), except for the one clue that specifically indicates fan art
  • Send the items to me rodeogumi@gmail.com (or upload them to something like Dropbox and send me the link if they’re too big for mailing). It’s okay to give me direct links to pictures, videos or audio clips too, so long as I can access them.
  • Be sure to let me know your forum username and email address when you submit your entry.

Deadline:  Monday, February 9th, at 18:00 JST (6 PM)

Winning:

  • Each matching item you submit is worth four (4) points.
  • You’ll get 5 bonus points if you find something for every clue.
  • And another 5 bonus points if your all items are unique (e.g., you submit pictures no one else submits).
  • So there’s a possible total of 110 points.
  • The person with the most points wins.
  • In the case of multiple winners, I will use a random number generator to pick the final winner.

Some of the items are easy. Some are hard. Some are super hard. But at the end of the treasure hunt, this is what awaits you:

  • 1 regular edition copy of the  カルマとラビリンス CD
  • 1 tokuten CD from Animate (has acoustic versions of The Other Self and 変幻自在のマジカルスター)
  • 1 Animate  カルマとラビリンス clear file

I’ll ship anywhere in the world. Shipping’s on me, which may mean it gets to you slowly, but it will get to you!
