Forgot to post here xD
There are a few casual dubbers here, plus a few who have thought of going out and making their own idol groups, so it would be interesting to get your opinions.
Okay, I'm planning on writing a novel. After being more drawn in quite deeply to dubbing over the past half a year or so, it's been interesting to see the ins and outs of it all. There are really some twisted and quite dark things going on behind the scenes, but suprisingly the friendships that are built between dubbers is really powerful, so I want to explore that a little.
The story named "How Quickly the Glamour Fades" will be fiction, but I want to make it as true to what goes on as I can. It's not going to be like some snobby outsider who has only a limited opinion because they dont take the time to know the little world we have here. There are a ton of opinions I can form myself having seen a lot of aspects broadly, but there are still things I don't know or understand and that's where you guys come in.
I would like some believeable characters in my story. This comes from giving them a solid background, goals they're shooting for, things they've achieved or not etc. So I would like to conduct some interviews about you, your online life, how it might influence your real life and other things you're into. Once I've done that I'll choose a few people to base my characters off of, and talk with you a little more deeply.
There's also going to be a little more on Japanese Entertainment as a whole in there, such as things like how Anime has had an effect, JPOP and YT idols and such. So if you have anything to say about that please feel free to add it.
Please note that anything said to me will be said in complete confidence. I have no intentions of sharing everything openly. If there's thing you want to talk about in the interviews but dont want to name the people involved, thats absolutely fine. Of course if your interview is picked to be developed you will be hidden behind a character, so no-one need ever know it's you I'm writing about.
If you would like to take part in my interview process, then please drop me a pm and we'll have a chat. You can also email me at
