According to http://taiji.blog.players.tv/article/14417866.html, Taiji is making an official fanclub. There will be videos of him (talking I guess) twice a month.

Yeah, thanks for the update!

I guess you also get an email sometimes with news about Taiji, as part of the fanclub thing. And it's 1050 yen a month to be a part of the fan club.

I'm not the fanclub-joining type, personally, but I hope he gets tons of people to sign up for it, 'cause I'd really like to see him succeed and make some cash in the process. GO TAIJI!! Get money, dude!

OMG, he want's/they want money? |D
Damn, how much is this in Dollar? Is it much? This is strange, haha!

A bit under US$10 or so. :mrgreen:

I wonder how much of it goes directly to Taiji? Hope he gets part of it anyway!

And if I'm not mistaken, most official band/artist fan clubs in Japan cost money, but usually it's paid annually, and you generally get a fan club-only newsletter in the postal mail, plus the ability to buy special fan club-only merchandise and buy tickets before everyone else and stuff like that. They're not cheap, but I really forget how much they usually are per year.

I guess now that the internet and youtube-type videos are more and more popular, we'll see more different kinds of pay systems and different benefits and stuff. But 1050 yen a month for videos online sounds a little like a porn site subscription. :lol:

I wonder if the new fan club will have a name or not? The old Taiji/DTR one was called Gasoline Cowboy, I thought that was a really cool name.

EDITED TO ADD:
Looking at this again, I'm not sure now whether the Taiji fan club sends you an email or something in the postal mail. Is a メールマガジン (mail magazine) an email thing or real-world-mail thing?

Ah, thanks Hollywood.

:| Really reminds of porn site subsciption... oh my... my evil brain... :mrgreen:

Well, I never was member of a fan club. And actually I wonder, if this one of Taiji might be Japan only. :? I get, that it's worth the money somehow. Cannot imagine that a thing like this could only be there for earning money naturally.

Gasoline Cowboy is indeed a rockin' name, haha!
