Ribon!

Welcome to ast_team , the main community for AST's subbed releases.

This community is now a moderated membership community.  In order to join, please do the following:

     1. Leave a comment in this post.  Just a short comment is fine  :)

     2. Then, click "join community" and wait for approval


Your request will be rejected if:

     a. You are on fandom's black list (ie: streaming subbed clips that are not yours, etc.)

     b. You are applying for membership from a non-LJ account (Facebook, etc.)

     c. You clicked "join community", but forgot to leave a comment on this post. 


We're trying to make membership as simple as possible for you in exchange for your understanding that the subs released by AST are not be uploaded onto streaming sites (dramacrazy, youtube, etc.), nor should the links be reposted or the subs used to generate any sort of profit.  

Also, once you're accepted, we'd appreciate a simple thank you from time to time when you download a release?  The team works very hard to bring you these subs and the enjoyment we get out of subbing is knowing that YOU, our community members, are enjoying our subs.  So a simple "thanks" now and again wouldn't hurt, eh?  

Paprika!  

Thank you and enjoy the subs!

Ribon! (translation: Hi everyone!)

Hope it's not too late for us to wish everyone Happy New Year :) We hope you enjoyed the recent Sho's birthday releases. There are a lot more stuff we would like to do and share with everyone, but we believe it's about time we make some changes in ast_team 

Starting February 1st, ast_team  will go under a moderated membership system.

( ... maybe a lil different from what you think? )

AST would like to show its support to AST SEKAI, AST's sister community which provides re-subbed AST clips into a whole lot of different languages. Here's the message from AST SEKAI:

Hi :D

To show our love to Arashi and to help increase the power of the storm they have created all over the world, AST SEKAI has decided to attempt the fandom record (if there's any :D but we just wanna have fun~) for "The highest number of subtitles available for one Arashi clip", and the clip that we have chosen is... Arashi's debut clip in Hawaii collection!

Expect one re-subbed video everyday, and we hope to achieve at least 11 languages *not including English and Japanese* The more the better :D

Let's help Arashi break the language barrier and continue to create a bigger storm throughout the world <3

If you feel that the re-subbed video in any of the languages is useful for someone you know, let them know or download it for him/ her, and we hope more people will get the privilege of discovering Arashi in their lives <3

11 languages have been confirmed, and the languages are going to be revealed in the next 11 days. Requests will be taken into consideration, but we can never guarantee it to be fulfilled.

Let's celebrate how Arashi unite us at ast_sekai

p/s: Special thanks to inuhariko  for her awesome Arashi treasure hunting skills <3 And scrap_fabulous  should be known by more Arashi fans, hence the publicity here :D

( Contest details and the prize :) )( Contest details and the prize :) )YAY!

AST gets a lot of re-sub requests from time to time. We feel that it's time for us to start our own re-sub community *gasp* Yep, AST now has another community called ast_sekai, a community for AST's non-English releases. So far we have a French and a Turkish team, and we are looking for more people who'd be interested in joining the fun :D

If you know how to:

1. translate from English to your own language
2. how to time/typeset/sub in general

Come and join us XD Priority will be given to the person who knows how to translate AND sub. We want at most 2 people per team, but if there's an overflow of fans who wants to do it for one particular language, maybe we can consider for more ^^ If you're interested, please send an email with the subject: ast_sekai to sitisalwa.ali@gmail.com

The community is not up and running as of now, but we'll see in maybe... 10 days? ^____________^

I guess that's all!

p/s: Do you enjoy Age Gumi's radio show? If you do, they are searching for more creative ideas to make it better :D

Salwa
A fan of Aiba and his gunS xD

[EDIT]:
Wow, 5 new languages xD I think it would be very helpful (and easier) if those who
1. can translate but cannot sub OR
2. can sub, understand the language but do not want to translate
to find someone who would want to team up with you ^________^

We have found the streaming vids and already started flagging them. We would like to extend this flagging event to the whole community. We also noticed that episode 7 was streamed on the same day as our released day, and we know for sure the culprit is within the community *waves at the traitor*. Unfortunately, until the traitor shows him/herself, we might need to slow down the releases for the rest of the episodes. We apologized for the inconvenience caused, but we believe that for the time being, our main priority is to take down the streamed vids and ensure that the same case wont happen again for ep8, 9 and 10 releases. [Edit] As of 17 December 2009, only the videos on Ning.com remains streamed. We're still figuring out how to deal with this &*%$^*^* site (pardon the symbols) but we would like to thank each and everyone of you for our collective efforts in combating streamed My Girl videos. We have taken down 3 streaming sites, and that's a huge achievement for all of us! Thank you very much *bows* [/edit]
