BUTOUKAN RAW MEDIA

Anything marked with two asterisks (**) in front of the date can be found in the subbed section.

Obligatory download**: Now and Forever PV. (Streaming: Veoh // Youtube // Megavideo) LOL YES I KNOW I DON'T HAVE THE DOWNLOAD LINK AVAILABLE YET. >_>

Butoukan has never appeared anywhere as a unit except on Shounen Club, so that is where all these videos come from.

BUTOUKAN TRANSLATIONS / SUBBED MEDIA

Translations
Other than lyrics, there are no Butoukan-only translations yet. There are, however, a great many translations for ABC, Kis-My-Ft2, Musical Academy, and Veterans. I don't know of any for M.A.D. (if you can help, that would be amazing!).

Now and Forever (goro_chan)
C=Normal (poseok)
Sweet Butterfly (goro_chan)

I plan on translating the two Butoukan scans I have sometime, at which point I will link to those here.

MEMBER-RELATED RAW MEDIA

This is not meant to be an exhaustive list, merely a place for you to get started. The supplementary media post will (eventually) contain more links, but it is by no means complete either. (Currently, it is nonexistent. It will be created once I finish uploading items for this page.)

Yara Tomoyuki / Musical Academy
2006.05.21-2007.11.18 - MA Collabo Maps / MA Dancin' with Japan

Everyone else
2008.07.13 - Next 100 Years (Kansai Johnny's Jr) - Veoh



MEMBER-RELATED TRANSLATIONS

2008.04 - Potato - Yara talks about Endless SHOCK

There's more, I promise! I just haven't linked it yet.



MEMBER-RELATED SUBBED MEDIA

2006.04.23 - Shounen Club Premium - MA cut
2007.04.15 - Shounen Club - Jealous Train (Yara solo) (subi // ohmiya_sg)

One of those Kansai Jr ni Qs might not actually have Bun in it. I can't remember off the top of my head which one it is, though.



FANFICTION

I don't actually know of any Butoukan fic (except my own D:). I can link you to plenty for Kis-My-Ft2 and a bit for ABC, but that's it.

What does this mean? FIND ME FIC. Or write some. And link to it in the comments so I can add it here.

Where to find the Kisumai and ABC fic
-crazy_accel's fic tag
-kis_my_ft2's fic tag
-mousapelli's master fic list



WHERE TO FIND MORE

The obvious place to stop by ought to be butoukan. As of right now, it's pretty much dead. (Come! Join! Talk! Let's make this place shine!) Here are some other links to look at:

-ambitious_boys (Johnny's Jr)
-crazy_accel (ABC)
-kansaichibiko (Kansai Johnny's Jr)
-kis_my_ft2 (self-explanatory)
-musical_academy (self-explanatory)
-silverrangel's Kis-My-Ft2 pimp post
-subi's Musical Academy profiles
-trolit & amarerose's Musical Academy history
-enshinge's translation directory
-enshinge's subbing directory
-ohmiya_sg's subbing directory



REQUEST FOR HELP FINISHING THIS

This post obviously has a lot of holes (as in no downloads and almost no streaming video links), and it would take me months to fill them all as they stand today; by that time, there will be even more that I'm lacking. I ask that those of you who are willing and able help me by pointing me in the direction of any Youtube or Veoh links not currently available. Upload mirrors would be lovely; original videos would be wonderful. If you have something to suggest or contribute, I will gladly take your suggestions.

Here are some specific items I would like to see so that I can link to them here in the above section:

-Butoukan scans. As far as I know, there are only two sets, one from the Februrary 2008 Wink Up and one from the January 2008 Potato. I am in need of the Wink Up scans.
-A.B.C. pimp post / media downloads page
-M.A.D. pimp post / profiles for the whole group
-anything pertaining to M.A.D., really, especially if it involves Yamamoto

I'M WORKING ON THIS PART, TOO.
