Aspiring to bridge the gap between overseas fans and Japanese artists, we do our best to provide you with the most up-to-date and information packed news from the scene.
I applied for the Translator role by filling in the Application form, but when I hit send the page refreshed itself and the form was blank… I’m not sure if this means my application sucessfully sent or not…? But if it isn’t, could someone let me know? I didn’t want to spam by sending my application twice! Thank you
It went through! ^^
Well, I really want to apply for the news team but I dont have a reliable internet accessing point until July, do you think If I apply and am accepted you could hold the position for me?
Unfortunately, we can’t hold an open spot for half a year. But, when you do have a reliable internet connection and if you’re still interested in applying, feel free to fill out the application!
Alright~ I will be sure to do that, It would be such an awesome thing to be staff here ^_^
Ahh, I kind of made a bit of a splash and mock up of my application… I was too excited about applying, I read the rules and then filled in the boxes.
However, silly me, I didn’t realise that the fake band had an actual page, I just made the fake band up.. T___T;
Have I killed my chances?
If you’d like you can resend just the mock post part in a new app, or via e-mail.
I dont really sure if i wrote and sent it all correctly…. do you email me if i’m not suitable?
We generally only reply to those who are accepted. We haven’t made any decisions yet. However, I noticed that you didn’t write the mock post part which is just making a post [like you'd post on S-T] about the band provided in the application. So, if you want to send that in, we can accept it. Otherwise, the application is incomplete and therefore void.
I Sent my app in, hope its complete and nothing was left out o-o
but just wanted to say thanks for the opportunity for all of us to even have the chance to apply ^0^
yay ST , for tha winn :3
We did get your application!
We haven’t actually had a chance to sit down and make any decisions yet as things have been very busy around the site. Hopefully we’ll be able to make some final decisions by this weekend!
Thanks for applying. ^^
