Hi everyone!! Welcome to Eien no Yume, otherwise known as EnY. ^^ Let me
explain a little bit about our website~ Eien no Yume means Eternal Dream.
The word "Dream" is taken from one of the Darts jewelry. Dream is
a ring design for Darts of deaf breed. The reason why we chose this word is
because Gackt has always given us the courage to follow our dreams and I want
our site name to symbolize that. As for "Eternal", it is taken from
"Eternity", which is also a Darts jewelry. I have always been fascinated
by the concept of eternity, because it is hard for me to believe that forever
exists. Time exists for as long as it lasts. Something will only be eternal
if there are people to remember them. The same applies to this fandom; Gackt
will only be remembered if people continue to support and love him. That is
what "Eternal" symbolizes. So we joined the two words, "Eternal"
and "Dream", together and translated it into Japanese, which then
became Eien no Yume.
Well then, you are probably wondering why we have decided to create another
website when there are so many existing ones around. Well, there are certainly
great sites out there but certain sites may be good in one thing, like lyrics,
while others are great in other areas; until now, I have yet to see one site
which has everything. The whole package so to speak. And that is what we are
trying to create here.
I hope EnY will be the first site that people go to when they need information
about Gackt, and I also hope it will be the only site they'll need to go to.
I want it to be the place new fans go to when they've just found Gackt, and
learn everything they need to know about him from our site. I hope this site
will be able to convince other people that he IS much more than an artist.
I want the site to have a mixture of light and heavy content, so that people
can have a bit of a good laugh every now and then, but also know that they
can find serious topics in this website. I want people to be impressed as
I was impressed when I first came into the fandom. That's basically the direction
our site will be heading towards.
One thing I would like to make clear is that we will NOT be trying to make
this an official site, nor will we be trying to make Dears an international
fan club. We have no intention of fighting with other sites for the "best
website evaaaa!!!" or some such crap title. Our purpose is to create
a place where people can get complete and accurate information about him.
I'm simply tired of having to go through multiple sites in order to get the
information I need, and I'm sure there are others who feel the same way as
I do. (I hope)
I think it's boring if every site has the same content, and I wanted our
site to be a little different. So a couple of new ideas which my staff and
I came up with are the manga corner and the discussion corner. I decided to
have a manga section because there will be periods of time when we will not
hear anything from Gackt, sometimes for months, so I want to keep the fandom
lively and create something which fans can look forward to on a regular basis.
If the man can't satisfy our GacktCravings, we'll just have to figure out
a way to do it ourselves. XD As for the discussion corner, it is kind of like
a replacement for a lyrics section. As I've mentioned earlier, I want the
site to have some serious content as well, and I thought that analyzing his
music will be a great idea.
Something else which is a little different from other websites will be our
pictures and clips section. Our main purpose is NOT to let people download
his clips or save the pictures from all the magazines in which he has appeared.
The main reason we created those sections is because I have seen so many people
asking for the title and the date of various clips over and over again, and
answering the same questions gets tiring after a while. ^^;; That is why I
decided to create a section where people can check the release dates and other
information for themselves. Find out what you are missing and go hunt the
clips down!
Some of you are probably thinking that the magazine section is rather useless
since the pictures are so tiny. But it's basically the same concept as our
clips section. I'm sure some of those who are anal about putting correct descriptions
on their folders (like me!!) will find this useful. I know there is no win-win
solution when it comes to downloading stuff, but this is the decision we have
made, so please respect it and don't come bombing us with requests for downloads
and other stuff.
If you are unsure of how a particular section works, just go to the main
page of that section and read the brief explanation we have provided. I hope
you will enjoy your time in EnY and please please please do not hesitate to
contact us if you have any great ideas for the site. If you have something
which you think might be great, do us a favour and let us know. XD
