The Silence Is Over

Posted by Kaiden On January - 23 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS  

If you’ve noticed, we’ve been very silent here at NEUMANIA for the past two days, and we truly apologize for the delay. Both Noah and myself have been rather ill lately and we’ve finally recovered, we hope that everyone will understand.

Though, you will see some new faces around here very soon, so definitely look forward to that!

Happy New Year From NEUMANIA

Posted by Kaiden On January - 2 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS  

We here at NEUMANIA would like to wish everyone a happy New Year!

January 1st was actually the official birth-date of this project, however, NEUMANIA.net is only nearing it’s half year mark. While the project started as a simple blog to pass our time with, it has now grown into something we’re very proud of.

The project is still in it’s beginning stages, but in this following year there will be a lot of big changes coming to the site. Our New Year resolution is to bring you even more news and more features. We have so many things planned for this new year and we hope that everyone will enjoy them.

We never imagined we would be seeing such a large amount of visitors this early on and we’re really glad that people seem to be enjoying and using the site so much. We really appreciate everyone who has been visiting, commenting, and even contributing to our site. Thank you so much for all of the support!

Hopefully everyone had a great holiday season!

Happy Holidays!

Tomorrow is Christmas, and I wanted to announce that in celebration of Christmas, NEUMANIA will be silent on that day, as all of our staff, all three of us, will be on break. Can’t expect us to work on the holiday can you? Why, that’s insanity! Christmas Eve, it’s been met with chilly weather here in our regions, Noah and I. Some have snow, some just have frost, but despite all that, it’s the holidays.

New Years is also coming up, though I wonder, what will NEUMANIA’s new year resolution be.. hmm, I guess we’ll have to get back to you on that. We’re fickle lads here at NEUMANIA, I’m sure it’ll be something to acquire more staff, which leads me to announce that we will be accepting staff applications very soon. It will be interesting to see more minds come together for this wonderful project.

Even if we do enjoy working very hard for you guys, we too are humans and desire a little R&R. So here’s both Noah and I, wishing you happy holidays!

NEUMANIA Update: New Design!

Posted by Noah On December - 20 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS  

Sorry for the wait!

As you can see the entire site has gotten a big makeover. There are now many new features available around the website including the sidebar, entry pages, as well as the site’s footer.

From now on our posts will have more space which means larger images and videos. Also, the comment section has been completely re-designed and should be a lot more user friendly.

We hope that everyone likes the new layout, hopefully it will be a lot more convenient for our readers to use!

Additionally, things around the site are still being updated and tweaked. We’ll be adding more features, more content, and more information soon.

As always, thank you for reading NEUMANIA!

We Are Back From The Hiatus!

Posted by Noah On November - 20 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS  

We’re finally back from our three-day news hiatus!

While a lot of the renovations on the website are still under-way, we were able to get a lot done. Unfortunately, due to a very sudden black-out that left us both without the internet for an entire day, we were unable to finish everything we had originally planned to finish.

At the very least though, the black-out made for a funny story. A story that involves using torches indoors for makeshift lighting (apparently we don’t own any flashlights), attempting to assemble a glittering, semi-glow in the dark unicorn puzzle by the light of a rainbow colored glowstick, and looking for twigs out in the middle of the night for a fire to attempt making some form of a dinner. Needless to say, the dinner tasted like lamp oil, I have no idea why we even own a glittery unicorn puzzle, the fire alarm was set off a countless number of times, and somewhere in all the insanity Kaiden wore Christmas stockings as shoes. All-in-all, it was a… fun night?

However, we’re definitely more than happy to have the internet back, our electricity back, and to be returning from the hiatus. We will be posting news again shortly as well as continuing working on the various website renovations, so be sure to keep checking back. As always, thank you to all the readers and visitors of the site.

P.S. I will be updating about the new features and updates to the site soon!

Daily News Going on a Three Day Hiatus

Posted by Noah On November - 17 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS  

Hello everyone! A short, but important announcement regarding the site.

The daily news updates will be going on a three day hiatus starting tonight. This means no news posts until November 20th.

During this time the website will be going through a number of renovations. Hopefully, by the time we return, we’ll have all sorts of new features available!

Thank you for visiting the site! We’ll be back soon.

NEU+MANIA site updates

Posted by Kaiden On October - 3 - 2009 ADD COMMENTS  

Hello everyone! As I’m sure many of you can already tell, we’ve completely re-designed the entire site!

And when I say we, I really mean, Kaiden re-designed the entire site… though I did pick out the font for the header. Such hard work and dedication, I know, it was quite the difficult task. The new layout looks really nice though, even if I previously had my heart set on one with a few too many columns, Kaiden talked some sense into me and proved to me that less really is more sometimes.

Speaking of Kaiden, I, and our other staff, we will be making a small “About” page soon for you to learn a little more about us as well as more about the NEU+MANIA project! That way our staff will no longer be random names that seem to appear here and there from time to time.

While it has only been a short five weeks since our re-opening, everything is coming along quite smoothly. We will have the other sections to this site open sometime soon, so please keep checking back. We’ll be sure to make a notice post here whenever something is updated on the site.  As always, thank you for reading!

About Me

Beginning as a news blog NEUMANIA was born Jan. 1st, 2009 with the dream to reach out all over the world to Japanese music fans. After a few months, it was decided it was time to bring the site through a metamorphosis. In Aug. 2009, NEUMANIA returned with a new domain, a new concept, and with even higher ambitions.

NEUMANIA is now not only a news site, but a growing database that will feature artist profiles, discographies, band history, lyrics, and much more. We strive to bring you all the latest news daily on Japanese rock bands and cover a variety of genres. This includes, but is not limited to, industrial, metal, alternative, punk, and visual kei.
