FAQWHAT IS THIS?Recently the idea came up on
discord that we could actually do something productive and be a little more active in
1. promoting X Japan on social media2. having international fans' voices heard by X Japan managementOur role models are
BTS fans, whose Twitter army literally made the band known worldwide by trending them with active and massive use of hashtags, tagging, retweets and overall being really active on social media.
Now, we are realistic, we know the limitations of X's genre and the size of Jrock fandoms, but still, the same tactic could work for X Japan, too. At least to show management that we are active and here, waiting for the band and we are as enthusiastic as Japanese fans are,
regardless of album releases.
HOW WILL THIS WORK?We will try to make this as simple as we can, so you don't have to sit on your Twitter account 24/7
There will be campaigns tied to X Japan activities and anniversaries, ie. concerts, TV appearances, member birthdays,
album releases (LOL, I know
)
All you have to do is1. join our Twitter/social media army by posting under this thread saying "I wanna join" (or anything you feel like saying)
2. log into your social media account (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, any or all of these)
3. Copy the text from the campaign page [
this thread will be updated with latest campaigns]
4. Send to your followers using the hashtags (#thisisasamplehashtag) given and tagging the official accounts [@thisisasampletagging]
[you won't have to do this manually, the campaign page will give you the pre-formatted text] IMPORTANT: make the post
public, so it can reach people outside your sphere of friends.
5. Congratulations, you are done! It's going to be literally 2 minutes (if you use all 3 platforms)
BONUS STEP: If you feel like helping out a little more, you can engage in conversation with other fans on Twitter, hashtaging #XJAPAN #Yoshiki #Toshl etc. Or reply to member tweets, preferably using hashtags too.
Hashtags are like little flags, they trend on Twitter and the more a hashtag is used the higher it climbs on the trending ladder, and exposes the content more. Our team hashtag is
