Feel Our Heart’s 1st anniversary!

  By Lin • August 2, 2016

Dear Feel Our Hearts friends,

August 3rd 2016 marks Feel Our Hearts‘s very first anniversary! On this day, exactly one year ago (at around 8 AM in Japan), the rough idea of the project was born. Fearless Mastermind Hina​ was the first to suggest a ‘thank you’ campaign on her Twitter account, and soon Scrapbook Keeper Lin and Official Nitpicker GettingLostInNeverland​ found themselves making their way on board. It was then decided: Go big, or go home!

 

Before long, Website Owner Shimizu​, HTML Expert Aenya & Japan-Savvy Phoebe​ filled out the ranks — and many awesome volunteers ended up helping us out, as well!

 

To celebrate this joyous event, and to show our appreciation to everyone who kindly offered us help along the way, we’ve decided to publish a digital version of the breathtaking scrapbook we handed in to Kyoto Animation last year. We hope everyone will enjoy this little stroll down memory lane with us~! ♡

 

Without further ado:

Much love,

The Feel Our Hearts Crew

Feel Our Hearts reached KyoAniDo!

Happy New Year to everyone! We hope you’re all off to a fantastic start in 2016. As you may already be aware, KyoAni opened a brand-new English website for all their overseas fans. Isn’t this amazing? Here at Feel Our Hearts, we were so happy to see it. We were happy simply by imagining our campaign might have been just a tiny part of this announcement. But that was not all!

We’d like to share our happiness with all of you, because our love and effort reached the KyoAniDo staff!

On January 4th, 2016, the Kyoto Animation and Animation Do staff posted a public thank you to overseas fans for their letters on their website and on their official twitter account. What’s more, a picture of our scrapbook, message book, and postcards was included in the website post!

But there’s more! The post on the website has now been edited to show that the staff has read all our letters and is very thankful for them!

We’d like to thank all of you for your kindness, your time, your effort, and all the love and dedication you put into participating in this campaign with us. We could not have done this on our own! We’d also like to thank all of the translators that worked with us to open this site to as many fans around the world as possible, to all the artists who kindly allowed us to use their art on this website and our social media, to everyone who did their part to help spread this campaign and reach as many people with it as possible. To everyone who worked with us, to all of you who shared your love with us so we could deliver it at KyoAniDo’s doorstep.

It was our humble wish that KyoAniDo would be able to see and feel our gratitude for everything they have done for us, for giving us Free!, and Haruka & Rin, and for always being open to listening to their fans’ wishes. We’re very grateful for KyoAniDo’s staff’s loving response to us overseas fans, and for them taking their time to share the sentiment with us, as well as looking through all of our messages, pictures, and art. We feel very lucky for the effort KyoAniDo has made to make their gratitude reach us.

Once again, thank you so much to everyone who joined us! We’re very proud to say our campaign was a complete success! The staff of KyoAni and AniDo really did Feel Our Hearts!

First Postcard!

Here’s some exciting news from our crew member @ebe-bee in Kyoto:

Our campaign’s very first postcards have now been delivered to the staff at the Kyoto Animation headquarters in Japan~! :D (One was personally handed over to the pleasantly surprised staff at the KyoAni Shop & a second one was left in the office’s mailbox!)

Of course, the staff there had already been semi-notified of our plans a few months ago (because @ebe-bee helped us make 100% sure they wouldn’t be inconvenienced by any aspect of the campaign way back during the original planning stage!)  — but they’ve now received a physical token of our intention to deliver them a very special package in December! ❤

There really is no turning back now, so do help us show KyoAni a sight they’ve never seen before by [SIGNING UP] and sending something in before the December 1st, 2015deadline! Who knows, you might even win one of our prizes! :D
