Welcome to Jounetsu_8~
* SORRY, WE ARE CURRENTLY ON HIATUS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE *
[ INFO ON DEAD LINKS HERE]
This is an introduction post for all new Passions! Membership to Jounetsu_8 is currently open, just click the join button!
Who we are
This community is founded by two sisters from the Netherlands who started subbing Johnny’s clips in 2011. Check out our personal introduction post for more (old!) info about the two of us. Besides us, there are currently several other lovely people helping us out! We named our subbing group Jounetsu_8 because back then there were two teams battling each other in the Shounen Club games, and we were always rooting for the Jounetsu Rainbows. “Jounetsu” means passion, and we have always felt very passionate about our subbing work. That’s also why we decided to call our lovely members the Passions!
What we sub
The focus of our subs has shifted slightly over the years, but right now we sub mostly Kis-My-Ft2 and Johnny’s WEST. We usually sub things like their PVs, makings, concerts and other DVD footage, and some shows they appear on like Shounen Club.
We used to take requests and strive to sub everything we could, but lately we have not been able to keep up. That's why at the moment, we just sub whatever we feel like! Right now this is mostly WEST releases and some shorter Kisumai releases.
For everything we have subbed so far, check the index (part 1: TV shows here, part 2: Official releases & dramas here). For everything we’re planning to sub in the near future, check the to-sub list. For updates on our progress, follow Jounetsu_8 on twitter.
Rules and membership
For security reasons this community is member-locked, but membership is completely open at the moment! To join this community and get access to the subs, the only thing you need to do is click the “join” button on top of the page. By joining the community you automatically promise to have read and will follow all of our rules, most importantly not to share our subs or links to our subs elsewhere without our permission, especially not to streaming sites! For more information on the rules, read this post.
Dead links and reuploads
We are always working on finding a good system to host our links. Some people prefer to download a big file at once, others prefer to have split files in case of a slower internet connection. Many free hosts have limited uploading quota or the links die after 30 days. Different file hosting sites work best for different people. Please understand that your favorite host may not be available. Most files have been reuploaded in big backup files, read here. Please also help us reupload and make mirrors if you can!
Using our subs for retranslation
During our hiatus, we cannot reply to all messages about permission for retranslation of our subs. First of all, thank you very much for asking first. Secondly, we're basically fine with our subs being used for retranslation, so go ahead and use them. Credit with a reference to Jounetsu_8 would be very much appreciated. However, please do not share our name on streaming websites!!!
Other info
In the past we used to work with split files (.001, .002, etc). Read here how to join them.
We usually share both softsubs and hardsubs. If you want to use the softsubs, you may need to install some custom fonts for the subs to display properly. Our general fonts are here, and any extra fonts will be mentioned in each entry.
Our comment button is called “Do you want to kiss my foot too?” obviously because of Kisumai. Please leave a comment if you take anything!
Remember to always share your passion, dear Passions~!
