HANGRY & ANGRY Grassroots Pimp / Street Team / Campaign ~Let's BRAINSTORM~

An idea spearheaded by Hitomi Heaven's (http://hitomiyoshizawa.com/hitomiheaven/) BAWS Kimuuu, let's apply our pimp skills and spread the HANGRY & ANGRY love across the world via internet and on the streets.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v23/daigong/MY%20Fat%20ASs/jphip05482.jpg)(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip05686.jpg)

With H&A going overseas to Seattle, Paris, Berlin, Helsinki and London. Where would they go next? It's useless to just sit around and whine. TAKE ACTION!! Bring HANGRY & ANGRY to your area!! BY BEING A HANGRY & ANGRY Pimp  :pimp:

The worst thing is to be stagnant. Always be prepared whenever, wherever. Like a certain back up quarterback entering into the 2001 NFL season for an injured Drew Bledsoe, one Tom Brady went on to become one of the greatest quarterbacks ever.

This is not about JPHiP, it's about ALL THE ISHIYOSHI, HANGRY & ANGRY FANS AROUND THE WORLD and potential future ones. We all benefit from this.

Ideas?


The only thing we hope to get out of this is for H&A to tour in more cities across the world and their popularity increase.

This is a completely independent project BY FANS FOR FANS of HANGRY & ANGRY! Spread THE WORD! :otomerika: :yossi:

ANY MORE IDEAS! WHO IS IN! HOLLER AT ME!

I have a H&A bag, and I definitely ought to pimp it as much as I can. I don't have a shirt or anything.

Also, anyone else here a college student right now? It's summer and I'm not there, but when fall rolls around it'd be cool to have some cool H&A posters/flyers to staple up places. I'm not the best graphic artist, but I'd definitely be willing to help make something.

I slipped Yaz the web address for the annual Japan US cherry blossom festival - I emailed them before the festival and asked them to add some JPOP acts like they had in the past. I need to talk to my brother in radio, he's a genius at this sort of stuff, although he's not going to play HA on a country station.. has anyone corresponded with GanShin to see if we can partner with them?

The only HANGRY & ANGRY stuff I own are the CDs at the moment. Maybe I should just staple them to my forehead.

Yeah I got a h&A backpack!
And h&A mobile strap!
And I have h&A as a background on my phone!
And I have a h&A collage paper thing in my school folder!
AND I post h&A everywhere over at Aus. anime convention forums =D

So I think everyone I know at least knows OF them now xD

Oh and I tell random people to buy the CD at stores all the time xD

Good tip!

I'm attending Norway's biggest anime/japan/fantasy convention next weekend. It's is fifth year running, and though it's an event built up, arranged and organised by all my friends, I've never actually attended (I did join the con-crew one year, but had to back down because of work getting in the way) T_T; This year they managed to get Versailles (http://versailles.syncl.jp/) to come, so yeah. I'll totally latch onto the Desucon crew and pimp h&A, maybe they'd be able to arrange something in the future :heart:

Oh Twiessie.. Versailles is so awesome. I saw them at Anime USA and poor Jasmine You.. They rock.. and Kamijo will suck you in wth his sexiness  I say that, and Yossy is the only one for me!!!! Also I was thinking, we should get Daigoing or Kimmu or one person to seriously reach out to the record company and say we want to be a streetteam in the US and ask for advice. Also we should post on the H&A facebook little updates of our activities... and also if anyone is going to a con where the clothes designers are we could touch base with them and ask how we can help pimp their stuff. I'd wear it if they had my size and I knew where to buy it....

Great ideas!! :twothumbs

love that radio one shirenu. Call or Email your local DJ! haha everyone in their H&A Gear. :thumbup

Awesome twiss!! That'd be major! Expose the jrock and anime community there.

Totally Yossierocks, the H&A Facebook is our gateway to reach all the fans. we should all spam the shit outta it! Like "Hey! I'm from Siberia and I love Mr. Monkey" etc.

http://www.facebook.com/hangryandangry (http://www.facebook.com/hangryandangry)

I was thinking of making a separate "Let's H&A Street Campaign" one but nah, let's keep it all there since their people would know. This is a great model to follow, The Jim Rome Show has given me thousands of pimping ideas over the years:
http://www.facebook.com/jimrome (http://www.facebook.com/jimrome)

Like just random H&A Discussion, it'll get your friends and friends of your friends to notice. Facebook is one helluva tool to use.

This is a great idea ^^

:w00t: I got..................... Nothing ¬¬'

Just a bag I made my mom bought me at Christmas (when she was buying me cloths 'cause I really needed, but I needed this more :P)

(http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq80/stephanylee/DSC01461.jpg)

Is the only one I used and never go out without it. Also when someone ask me about it or look at it I told them where is it from. Who is it, and most important the group. So i let them know pretty much all the history of MM and IshiYossie XD

Unfortunately I haven't find anything more besides this (also this was the only one I saw on the store) Maybe they were all sold out :P (i doubt it u.u')

Also, there's only me in this facking little town  :thumbdown: but I'm planing to make me some shirts since i can't buy the original. I don't used Facebook a lot but I think i might be staring ^^

good plan, and best if one person contacts them. I had a dream last night I met a rich teenager who's Dad owned casino hotels all over the US and he was scheduling H&A to make his kid happy.....

That's awesome Ops!!

No doubt yossierocks, H&A in Vegas would be a dream come  tru!!!


Also, there's only me in this facking little town  :thumbdown: but I'm planing to make me some shirts since i can't buy the original. I don't used Facebook a lot but I think i might be staring ^^

Every little bit of contribution counts!! We can't do this alone, our collective voices will be most powerful! so you don't use facebook, what about messageboards or blogs? Do you have friends who like rock? Introduce them to H&A! haha just like tru_harmony for example, all her students are big fans now lol.

I BELIEVE!!

I just sent a massive Newsletter to everyone on the forum and included is the H&A Campaign. We need to hit not only the streets but through facebook / twitter. Whatever message boards, blogs you are at.

phew, been so busy coordinating shit, work and of course NBA Playoffs really taking a beating on my liver, I'm gonna work so hard the rest of the year to make sure H&A continues their momentum!! BECAUSE WE LOVE THE MUSIC!! C'mon 2nd Album!!

Post by: TheKueken on June 23, 2010, 08:34:46 PM
Let's see...

- hangry / Yossy is my favourite wpp
- I dragged 5 previously not at all in h&A interested ppl to the concert here in Berlin, all having a blast there
- One of them after that called a local radio station to play one of their songs (successless though ^^; )
- I got them to listen to h&A in their cars - even with their windows rolled down, in the city
- I keep wearing my Ts in public wherever I can (airports, other countries, malls, parcs, parties)
- I got one of my roomies a T as well, she keeps wearing it outdoors as well
- I will asap send Cazz her package and therefore provide her with an h&A T-shirt as well ^_-
- I post h&A related stuff on FB whenever I feel like it
- I bought the Sadistic Dance album 5 times, gave it to others 3 times and whenever anyone even vaguely interested in japanese music asks me to make them a try-out mix-CD, I make sure to add some h&A tracks too
- My other roommate keeps humming Shake Me and The Peace
...everywhere  :doh:
- she also asked me for another copy of the album for one of her co-workers
- I spent over 300 euro *alone* on the Berlin concert tickets (purchased 13, invited most of the ppl I gave them to) and approx. another 150 euro or more for Tour-goodies at the three locations I visited altogether during the EU-tour.
- I actively look for other h&A fans at other sides and countries, my own country as well, talk to them, add them to my friendslists etc. to show them that they are not alone with their love for them and to support them
- ...never forget to forward them to add h&A pages to their favourites/bookmarks
- I keep visiting h&A's official MySpace, FB and Twitter on a regular basis (hitcount increase)
- I use Google-search with the search key "hangry&angry" at least once a week
- Whenever someone is interested in h&A, I tell them everything they want to know (and more) and when I find someone interested in Yossy, I tell them everything there is about h&A, 1444 and anything else of interest
- ...my almost every youtube OPV upload contains h&A XD incl. the proper tags of 'cos
- I keep going back to the (few) shops that sell h&A merch in my city (Berlin), and never miss a chance to mention h&A to the clerks there (even when the actual topic I have with them is Gackt *lol*)
- successfully converted a lot of ppl already to like and listen to h&A music over my own love and dedication for Yossy and hangry&Angry
- our last new-years party with plenty friends and friends of friends was themed "Japan" and the playlist played contained a lot of h&A (and other H!P) songs, including me running around in full h&A-fan-merch costume - even with a pink wisp of hair :P

- as I am writing this, my previously mentioned roomie with the other h&A T just came home from work, where she actually wore the T today and not only got asked by her boss because of it, but also was happy to tell me that she managed to get the attention of some japanese customers XD


...yeah, I personally think I am doing a rather well job in being a HANGRY & ANGRY Pimp  :yossi:

I have Hangry & Angry shirts but haven’t had the chance to wear them here yet. But I will! It’s just that its so freaking hot here in Miami. I would looove an h&A bag though, I’d use it a lot. I have a key chain too but Im afraid Ill lose it XD I need doubles or something hehe. But Ill definitely wear the shirt!

@writerserenyty, Im a college student taking a summer term. I used to make flyers to sell my textbooks before and usually put them up in bulletin boards or anywhere I think people will see it in campus, but lately Ive been lazy and just post them up on craigslist lol since craigslist is so much easier XD But if its for h&A…….. what I can do is make h&A flyers and place it there as well. Let me know if you have any ideas on what to put. My PC is currently in a coma though =p so I don’t have my photoshop back yet but I can always download the trial version for now or well…..take my PC to get fixed and get everything back XD Which I will as soon as I get the chance.


Oh, I dont know if this helps or not but for Morning Musume in Paris for example, a lot of people requested them to come to Paris at anime conventions and with video messages, etc.  Helps that they have Nolife TV too.
If you haven’t seen the MM one, here it is:
MORNING MUSUME。's first live in Europe! / Presentation video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccSrTt0YpwI#)


So if any of you get the chance to attend anime conventions, request for Hangry&Angry just like twissie is planning on doing =D
If you're not shy, maybe make some video request message? XD

Whenever I mention Hangry and angry to someone, they either lose interest/concentration or laugh. T____T I guess it's not the coolest name, but then you'd think people would like h&A's killer rock looks... but then when I show pics to friends/students whatever, everybody just tells me they look weird or emo >.<

I need to find people on the same wave length... or who like visual kei... lol

But no worries, none of that stops me. I have a h&A poster on my front door, and that's something 30+ students a week walk past.

I wear my h&A t-shirts out to play sport, at home, sometimes to uni. I've been asked about it a few times, though I doubt I've been able to convert anybody (except a few online music buddies).

I guess I'm not doing all that much, but I try.  :P

Ironically, the only pimping I could probably "justify" (because I have no clue where to get the attire. :rofl:) is to get the hAngry (http://pullipstyle.com/pullipstyle/images/f317_01.jpg) & Angry (http://pullipstyle.com/pullipstyle/images/F-331_01.jpg) dals, being a collector and all. :lol:

to pimp to japs: just mention it's rika and yossui and they'll be paying attention right away

to pimp to anyone else: drown them with music first, visuals later!

Post by: Kimuuu on June 26, 2010, 08:21:37 PM
>__>  Ohai.  I just noticed that daigong mentioned me in the JPHiP newsletter. XD

I skimmed through this thread... Great ideas everyone! \:D/

I'm really not sure how much time I can devote to "spearheading" this, but I'll help out however I can.  Here's some thoughts:

The thing is, while trying to convert as many fans where you are is fine, I'm just thinking that still won't give the US fanbase the oomph it needs to bring h&A back to the states.  I feel that US h&A fans are spread thin across the country.  There needs to be at least a central, strong fanbase in the states on which h&A can consistently rely for a good concert turnout.

How do we build this fanbase?  We have to figure out which target markets to focus our efforts. 

Japanophiles?  J-fashion fans?  Pop fans?  Rock fans?  Asians?  The lesbian community?  ^_^;;  Which of these groups would pay to see h&A? (and who has the most disposable income? :ph43r:) 

Off the top of my head, some angles to use to market h&A to these different target markets:
Japanophiles, Asians, anime fans - use the hangry and angry cartoon mascots to pull people in.  I personally thought Gashicon's characters are strange and fascinating to begin with... why not go with it?  Go guerrilla and spread h&A comics around in postcard or sticker format.  Include a URL for a site (a US h&A fansite?) that will give curious visitors more info about the homicidal kitties and and then introduce them to h&A, the band. 
Places to distribute promo materials: all relevant conventions (anime, gaming, cosplay), Japanese or other international festivals, Asian gift/toy shops you would most likely find in areas with a high concentration of Asians.

Music fans - h&A has a relatively small repertoire, and this might be a bit of a hindrance.  Still, we can still push their popular singles like KMKM and Sadistic Dance.  Try to get your local radio stations to play a single!  Request request request!  Spam their websites! Make them curious enough to look up h&A.  College radio stations might be more easily accessible.  Some bigger stations might have a show that showcases local/indie talent; push h&A onto that show.  Be persistent.  Get a lot of people to help you. 
Places to distribute promo materials: Local college radio stations.  You'll often find them at local street festivals, or at involvement fairs on their own campus.  You can even try local concert venues.  Slap h&A stickers wherever permissible.  Put up h&A comics in the bathroom stalls at the venues! XD

The Lesbian Community - LOL Just a thought. XD  We could push the image of two sexy female Japanese artists who have sapphic tendencies.  :B  Instead of using the cartoon mascots, show off the lovely ladies of h&A.  Sure, it'll be like going the t.A.t.u route, but so what?  It will get attention.
Places to distribute promo materials: lesbian bars/dance clubs, GLBT bookstores/giftshops, GLBT specialty shops, sex shops? (LOL), Pride festivals...

So there you go.  Any feedback is appreciated. :)

@ds12:

INDEED. Youtube can be a good one, like various mixes, there's enough live footage to make OPVs

I'm counting on my boyz to go this Club 2 MAX event with H.Naoto and schmooze with him hehehe.

Beecubed:

Yeah. it's tough since H&A is so sexy and the logos are pretty cute XD but I love the effort!! any little bit counts, look at all the new fans we have!

Mayo:

There's Yahoo auctions: http://search.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/search/auc?p=hangry+angry&auccat=0 (http://search.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/search/auc?p=hangry+angry&auccat=0)

or Hello Store USA: http://www.hellostoreusa.com/hangry-and-angry/ (http://www.hellostoreusa.com/hangry-and-angry/)

^ disclaimer: I don't get paid or get commission! or did anyone tell me to do this! XD

No doubt TRU!!

It's usually - WTF GET OUT! That's Ishiyoshi!

Gotta give credit where credit is DUE! Kimmy and u stepped yo GAME UP PLAYA-ETTE!

Music fans, I wondered about it. Like do I have to give the stations a copy of a KMKM CD? I only got two spares left XD The Flyer idea ds12/writer talked about is so dope, like this XD
The 4 Guys - Captain Morgan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MhEzeOZUnM#)

werd up college stations. There's even a segment on a sports talk radio station I listen to that takes on new musics (like the myspace artist of the day). We'll work on a email / tweet campaign to what dope radio show? Something Ryan Seacrest hosts? XD

The fans of Asian music do listen that's fo sho, look at what tru's radio show has done to spread the love of H&A in jphip alone. :pimp:

werd up, Linna2040 talked about pimping to the Lesbian Community placing an ad in magazines and such, I still think it's a great idea. we can all chip in.

So hmm, materials needed: stickers, flyers fo sho.

/me thinks budget

I've known radio stations to just download stuff from the net from not so legal sources.  As long as the radio station pays the correct monies for each song played I don't think anyone cares where they got the song from.

interesting that this posts coincides with a reply to a post I made on the Gan-Shin site.  http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=180226&id=213118129488&comments= (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=180226&id=213118129488&comments=)   the problem is as far as I can tell, Gan-Shin does the European distro. What we need is to talk to the people selling H&A music in the US. They might have radio version singles they could send to radio stations we identiy as possibly willing to play H&A. (college radio, radio in cities with large Asian populations).. (my family is in radio, so I know a little about it)... Maybe Kue or one of the other German fans could follow up with Gan-Shin for Euro pimping... If anyone is going to LaX and can talk to the HellostoreUSA people, that might be a very productive meeting... I wouldn't give away any spare H&A albums unless someone was seriously going to play it. Radio stations pay license fees to ASCAP and BMI and these guys are serious, so people are cautious. College radio might be exempt or have minimal fees.  I'm willing to chip in some dollars and some time for H&A.. Definitely we need to pimp at anime cons - I wonder if Gan-Shin would send us any of those cool postcard things Europeans use for advertising in bars and stuff.

I might download the trial for Photoshop and see what I can do for it. I'm not the greatest image editor, but I'll see what I can come up with. I know there are bulletin boards that anyone can put stuff on and that everyone sees on their walk around class. Maybe something cool looking with a URL or iTunes mention?

Also, I was looking around my college's radio station and I didn't really see much about requests... I might just try and convince them, but... I'll see.

I just found out that a local community college (Green River Community) has a show on Sat mornings that centers on J-rock. I found a myspace page and wrote in asking them to play Hangry & Angry. Soon I'm gonna start emailing and looking to see if other schools may have similar programming and spread the word.
Problem is I'm either at work or in bed when the shows on, and the schools signal isn't very strong. I cant even get it on my home stereo or alarm radio and car is sketchy.

Edit:
Got a reply from the station on myspace
Thank you for the interest in Candydive Pinky Heaven. Unfortunately with the new rules with Japanfiles.com, we cannot play Hangry & Angry anymore. Before they new rules, they were one of my favorites to play like LM.C and Girugamesh. I am really sorry we cannot play them for you

Apparently Japanfiles has something going on to keep music off the radio?  :?
Juast thought of asking the radio station if they can talk to Japan files to bring the girls back to the Seattle area (since thats where the radio station is) to bring their music to the stations listeners and local fans?

Around 2 weeks ago I emailed Peter Tatara, the Programming Manager for New York Anime Festival, who is in charge with anything related to guests, screenings, panels, or special events. I emailed him about Hangry & Angry being a possible guest for this year's Festival.

He replied back a few hours after I sent him the email.
His response was:

"Thank you very much for your email.  We’re definitely familiar with Hangry and Angry – as well as h.NAOTO.  We’ve just started announcing our 2010 guests, and I’ll make sure your sentiment and recommendations are heard here."

This was before Puffy AmiYumi was announced. So when they announced Puffy I was like awww why a female duo, whyyyyy lol. If you know what I mean XD
But whatever, still.... have a small hope. So far the musical guests are VAMPS and Puffy AmiYumi. So if anyone wants to suggest for Hangry & Angry, they can leave a comment on their forum under Festival (Although its not very active =/ but Peter Tatara will read your comments there. He said so himself.)

LOL oh Dai XD That 4 guys video made me laugh.

I just found out that a local community college (Green River Community) has a show on Sat mornings that centers on J-rock. I found a myspace page and wrote in asking them to play Hangry & Angry. Soon I'm gonna start emailing and looking to see if other schools may have similar programming and spread the word.
Problem is I'm either at work or in bed when the shows on, and the schools signal isn't very strong. I cant even get it on my home stereo or alarm radio and car is sketchy.

Edit:
Got a reply from the station on myspace
Thank you for the interest in Candydive Pinky Heaven. Unfortunately with the new rules with Japanfiles.com, we cannot play Hangry & Angry anymore. Before they new rules, they were one of my favorites to play like LM.C and Girugamesh. I am really sorry we cannot play them for you

Apparently Japanfiles has something going on to keep music off the radio?  :?
Juast thought of asking the radio station if they can talk to Japan files to bring the girls back to the Seattle area (since thats where the radio station is) to bring their music to the stations listeners and local fans?

The JapanFiles rule from what I remember is to simply mention them on air if you play an artist on their roster. They also have an exclusion list that unfortunately covers all the popular artists. So that means no airplay for any H!P, Girugamesh, L.MC, etc.

Of course if you didn't buy from JapanFiles then I consider it all fair game. But I could be misled about that so take it as you will.
