Here We Go blogging with Fuji Rock!
You may have known about this, but there used to be an English version of fujirockers.org untill 2003, which is what "They call" a fan site of Fuji Rock Festival, but it was not realistic to keep it running without having enough staff and financial support as fujirockers.org is not run by the organizer of the festival or any corporation as such but an independent web site run by a bunch of individuals loving festivals and particularly Fuji Rock Festival.
Simply there were not enough people and time of those who involved at the time. But we kept some space of English articles and reports in Fuji Rock Express, On Time Web Magazine, reporting what is happening at the festival site straight way by fujirockers.org. The reason was simple. Just because we love Fuji Rock and it is not just a bunch of shows of a band, but there is something we wanted to tell you about and a side of alternative culture normally never been reported by major press along with we wanted to say, "Don't waste your time checking a bloody monitor, but come around and have fun together to realize what a life is all about."
Some of the English writers involved in the Fuji Rock Express last year mentioned "Why not having a blog?" in a meeting we had as there should be something to help those who are trying to come and reach the festival with very little knowledge of Japanese. There must be more than what The official site is telling us and each one of us has got a different perspectives and information as well. Then let's get on the case and kick off... This is how we start this blog.
We do know that there is less than a month to go to the Fuji Rock Festival this year, but this site is not for only this year, but for the past and future as well. We may be able to make some contacts with you for future and also we may help for those loving Fuji Rock to get together someway somehow.
We still don't know what we can offer, but believe it is far better than nothing.
One Love to all.
