Kodama Haruka's Birthday Project ♛ Hey everyone! As some of you may know, Haruppi's birthday is a month away, on September 19th our little fairy becomes 17! To be honest I wasn't sure we were going to do anything this year, I'm super busy, however if I had known the Haruppi community doesn't revolve around one or two members keeping it alive anymore, I would have started this much earlier. This fandom has grown so strong, I'm so proud to be part of it.
Since her last birthday a lot of things have changed, Haruppi grew and so did her fans. In the short time we got to know her, we all fell deeply for Haruppi and for all she has given from her strength to be a strong and amazing idol, it's only fair that we show her our gratitude and support in return. If you guys remember,
last year and due to her circumstances, Haruppi's birthday celebration was full of tears and regret over herself, this year she rose and proven herself a great idol and a person. We want her this year to be able to celebrate her birthday while being driven by the fruits of her handwork for the past year, knowing how much she has achieved.
We were actually thinking of a more grand gesture from us like making T-shirts and collecting hand made physical stuff, but with the time limit put on us, we have no choice but to do it the old fashioned way with as much creativity in Photoshopping as possible. No matter what, it's our first year celebrating Haruppi's birthday together, her international community should have their voices heard so that Haruppi will know she has supporters all over the world.
Down to business.

Project heads: Reveen, Parikkuren (Stage48)Helpers: SnipaKill , t-motion
(Stage48)Project: Story AlbumDescription: A storybook kind of album, one that tells Haruppi's journey with her fans through their messages and thoughts, we want to showcase the diversity of Haruppi's fan community, it's influence and where it extends to on the globe. Besides the messages, other creative pages will be made by us like a photo timeline and a world map pointing to the origin of the messages, etc.
- Option 1: Photograph option.
Get a piece of paper. Decorate it!
- Put whatever you want on it - stickers, drawings, messages, a picture (please stay away from portraits taken by others or any material that might be copyrighted).
We’re going all digital, so you will then need to take a photograph of your page and email it to us! See below for info!
or
- Scan your page and mail the file to us! <-- Best option if it's a handmade artistic message like a drawing or any fan art, it will still maintain it's quality.
or
- Create the page in Photoshop (or similar editing software) and mail the file to us! <-- That's probably the best option if you're doing anything digital.
or
You may also send in any normal picture that you’ve taken with birthday greetings. Hold a birthday sign or a message up, or put up a birthday banner somewhere in your area to show Haruppi that her international fans love her!
- Option 2: Birthday message
Send us a short birthday message for Haruppi! English or Japanese only. I’m not going to put a limit on how long this can be because we want Haruppi to have a lovely full birthday album, but if we get a lot of replies and there are some that are too long, I may contact you about shortening it a bit to make sure there’s room for everyone to send their birthday greetings. Short messages are just fine too!!
Notes:- *On ANY submission: please include your name/username and your country in your message. If you're from the USA, you may include your state as well. Do NOT include any personal or direct contact information such as e-mails or Twitter usernames, etc
- *You can email your messages and photo to us at kodamaharuka@hotmail.com or submit them on HappyHaruppi♛.
You can also PM the above mentioned users in charge of the project for any questions or suggestions.
Anyone who is also willing to help with the editing with Photoshopping skills is welcome,
as it will help complete the project faster and maybe give an extension to the submission deadline.
*Submission Deadline: September 3rd, 2013! Sorry if it's too early but it takes time to gather the messages, edit everything add designs and graphics and organize the pages as well as the cover pages and bindings, print them out and send them to Japan, we might not even make it for her real birthday
In order for us to be able to do this, we must have participation! We can’t do anything unless we get enough support and love for Haruppi to make a whole album. So please, if you want Haruppi to get a birthday album, submit something, no matter how short, simple or brief it is.
Let’s show Hakata’s fairy some love and make this a beautiful celebration for her!
