I received my FC letter today, and I've scanned, zipped, and uploaded it to SendSpace and MegaUpload. If you need me to upload it to another service, just let me know.

I also scanned the flyer that came with it advertising IDS! goods. And as an extra, I scanned this 'Nikopachi' flyer I received as an extra from an auction I won a while ago. (I've never seen a high quality scan of it before, so I thought I'd scan it.)

The letter contains:

☆an interview with Maaya on 'Triangler'
☆a report on the PV/jacket shoot for 'Triangler'
☆a notice about Maaya's participation in 'Soul Eater', 'Bamboo Blade', and 'Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium'
☆a retrospective on IDS! goodies
☆essay #12 in Maaya's essay series titled 'The Woman I Admire', which refers to Toda Keiko; Maaya talks about growing older and continually improving, and talks about how Toda is an inspiration to her
☆summary of info on upcoming Maaya-related releases
☆a tonne of fanart Maaya received from fans for her birthday
☆a picture of Maaya with two birthday cakes
☆and the 17th edition of 'Sakamoto Maaya Gomi wo Hirou!' ('Sakamoto Maaya Picks up Garbage!'

I'm going to translate the letter ASAP. I'll work on the 'Triangler' interview first.

So did you write in and wish her happy birthday?
I want to be a ids member, those photo-cards and tour stuff look so good.

No, I didn't write in. I was struggling with what to say, and I kind of lost last track of time, and then it was too late. I'm planning to send something next year, though.

The IDS! stuff is awesome, I don't know why they won't offer overseas shipping, especially since Maaya has a noticeable number of overseas fans. Miyamoto Shunichi's official store ships overseas. They charge an arm and a leg, but they offer it, and he doesn't have anywhere near the overseas fanbase of Maaya (I don't think his Japanese fanbase is even that big, sadly, but anyway). Oh, well, at least Maaya's FC ships the newsletters to me.

The FC store won't ship overseas. I guess I wasn't very clear. ^^;; Overseas residents can still sign up for the fanclub and get the letters and stuff, they just can't buy from the store.

Ah, I see. I thought they stopped letting people sign up!! I was thinking "argh, how much cheaper can they be??!". I got my fan art published in the fan letter one time but never recieved a prize *weep*

Aw! That sucks. Which letter was it in? Did they give any explanation why you didn't receive anything?

It was quite a while ago, like, two years almost XD it's in my wardrobe sometime. They never gave an explanation, I juse assumed it was because I was outside the country and IDS seem to be quite stingy when it comes to that :P

But I have a great desire to have some of those items, I hope that one day, they change the idea, that stuff looks really cool!

soul eater is one of the mangas i'm reading right now.. so the anime version will have maaya as one of the seiyuu or OST?! nice to hear.. i wanna know about the ID's membership though i regret for not being able to live in Japan to really enjoy the difference/benefit of being one. :3

Yeah, Maaya plays Chrona in 'Soul Eater'. It's not the sort of anime I generally enjoy, but I think I might watch it for Maaya. ^^

I'm sorry to bother you so late, but could you please reupload that to Mediafire?

Both SS and MU hate me. ;____;

Thank you for your time!

@Kyoy: I'm sorry I took so long to reply! I haven't checked the forum that much recently, and I didn't see your post until today.

I uploaded the file to MF, let me know if it works!
