Hello to all kat_tun5 members~ I hope that you're all enjoying your stay at the community.

Today marks the first anniversary of this community, so we'd like to celebrate this event with everyone.


We'll be counting on your contributions and your support!


During this upcoming week we will gradually prepare the community for the transition and gradually add the Master Posts for each category. So please be patient.

At last I'd like to express my gratitude to my fellow co-founders of kat_tun5! It's been a great and very fruitful year for us and I'm looking forward to another one with even better success!

And big thanks to all kat_tun5 community members for supporting us through the last year! I hope you've enjoying your stay along this past year, and also hope you'll enjoy it even more from now on!

A very very special thanks to lovely shiharipanda for making us the anniversary banner above! It's simple perfection!! and I'm sure everyone agrees ^^


And another special thanks tokamesoul for the new layout ^o^


***Please go through our new rules in order to make a full understanding of our new concept and in order to keep this community clean and well-organized!

( New rules... )

How's everyone doing? :) I do hope you're all enjoying your stay at the community ^^


As many of you know, this community has a dedicated sub team kt5_babel, that brings you the subbed KAT-TUN videos posted in the community since late last year. And if it weren't for the team members' hard work and dedication, and the support of  kat_tun5 members we wouldn't have reached this far ^^



We're here to announce that our team is currently looking for a translator who can fill in some projects we might work on in the near future. If anyone feels interested in joining us, please refer to the criteria below, and give it a thought.



( Read more... )


So here are our simple criteria:
•    Someone who's frequently active
•    Someone with intermediate to advanced Japanese skills. (Especially listening)
•    Someone with an acceptable knowledge of English
•    A KAT-TUN fan


As Babel team we always aim for a 100% quality for our translations, that's why -and obviously- Japanese language knowledge is pretty much our most important criteria. And here we've prepared a short video to translate for whoever volunteers to join. This is just to make sure that you can cope up with the boys' fast-talking, weird wordings, and total randomness :P
And if it seems ok to us, and if you accepted to join you'll be welcomed in :) And we may actually consider working on that specific video as the next team project.



This is how it goes:
•    We will send you a link to the video as soon as you inform us with the information needed (Please refer to the end of the post)
•    You can translate at least 30 sec of the video, and you're very welcomed to translate more
•    Add the translated lines to a word file and send it back to us
•    If everything seems ok, we'll add you to our babel team community and you'll be welcomed to volunteer for any future projects



FYI
Our work at Babel is so far from strict. We only appreciate team members who are active enough to follow our projects flow, take part in sub projects whenever they have free time to join, and inform the other team members when they need to take some time out. Sudden disappearance is the only thing we do hate :D


And since all projects start from the team translators, you'll also have the luxury of proposing new projects to the team XD All you have to do is say that you want to translate a certain video and all the other awesome team members will volunteer to do the rest of the job : )
Fan-Subbing is not always as easy as it may sound, but watching the outcome of your work into a whole subbed video is totally rewarding ^^



At last, whoever is interested please leave a comment below, or send us an e-mail at [kattun5@yahoo.com] with the following details:

•    Name [or what you prefer us to call you]
