w-inds. worldwide UPDATES!!

w-inds. worldwide updates - 3/22/2011

Due to the Earthquake, w-inds. worldwide suspended its activities for a short period. We'd like to take the opportunity to thank all of you for being patient and understanding during this trying time in Japan. Before we continue talking about ourselves, we want to list the charity information we received over the past few weeks.

HOW TO DONATE:


Some Japanese charity sites:
w-inds.POWER 
http://justgiving.jp/c/2042
w-inds. POWER is a fundraising drive started by a w-inds. fan for w-inds. fans. The w-inds. members themselves have endorsed this group and have been rumored to have donated to it as well.

Tiny Voice Productions 
https://justgiving.jp/c/1729
w-inds. producer Ryosuke Imai also started a fundraising drive on the same website. Many w-inds. fans have donated here.

**You must pay by mastercard or visa to donate to these sites. You can read the English guide here: http://justgiving.jp/pdf/justgiving-man.pdf?110318

For foreigners in Japan:

PHOTOBOOKS

Those of you who ordered a photobook from us: We've received them, but we've been waiting for our Paypal limit to be reset. We're really sorry for the inconvenience and we'll be taking measures from now on to make sure this doesn't happen again in the future. We'll be sending out invoices soon for shipment costs.

VIDEOS


We will start working on videos again this week. We didn't find it appropriate to keep uploading them at a time when everyone's attention should have been elsewhere, but we're ready to get back in the saddle.

BOUQUET

Unfortunately, the w-inds. worldwide bouquet had already been finished prior to the cancelation of the Three Fourteen concert and therefore we couldn't get a refund for it. However, we've made a deal with the florist and Melissa and Ash will pay to have it remade for 428 provided that the concert still takes place.

MESSAGE PROJECT


We're going to start a message project for worldwide fans to e-mail us a message to deliver to w-inds.'s present box on 4/28. We'll have more information about this soon.

GOODS

As we said before, due to our banks and paypal's policies, we're going to have to work on a more efficient system for goods and money collection. This will mean some limitations are going to have to be put on how much people can order or spend. We haven't worked out the system yet, but we'll let you know in the near future.
