1,000 Crane Project for Nao-nii!
My sister and I are both attending Haruka Matsuri 2008 this year. At the Neoromance events, they have drop-boxes for fanmail and fan-gifts to the cast members, and so as a mini-service we would like to propose a project for all fans to participate in, delivering 1,000 cranes to our beloved Takahashi Naozumi.
Why 1,000 cranes? Cranes are a symbol of longevity. The story of 1,000 cranes is that this gift will grant a wish, but it has generally been focused to grant a wish for peace or health concerns.
Why Nao-nii? Because we love and adore him! He's a great performer who genuinely loves his work and his fans. We do love other seiyuu as well, but we thought this gift would be particularly suiting and nice to give to Nao-nii. He has been known to come down with illnesses frequently enough for it to worry us, so sending a good omen like this would surely bring him some happiness!
What do you have to do?
- Mail them to us (in the U.S.) so that they REACH US BY February 25. WE ARE LEAVING EARLY ON THE 27th, I won't be able to pick up mail on this day.
* You will have to buy your own paper to fold, and postage to send it to us. If we do not receive them on time or at all, we will not be held responsible.
What will we do?
- Count and string them
- Deliver them of course!
- Keep updating *this* post.
Current pledge total is 1110/1000 cranes ^^ Thank you everyone!
