The topic of an UVERdomain (&fansite) was first brought up by Evelyn and Sie some time before GCE'O' level examination (around mid to end of October). Evelyn was initially apprehensive about the idea because she had 3 other domains running at that time.Besides, she was known for dropping her projects halfway. Later, she changed her mind since Sie had given her a positive response. Hence, the planning for the UVERdomain commenced. The period was a torture due to the fact that both of them had to first focus on their upcoming finals.
After exams ended, Shinya joined the team. We had a pretty heated argument concerning the domain we wanted to purchase. Shinya insisted that since there already existed an uverworld.com and uverworld.jp, an uverworld.net/org/nu/sg was too common. Hence, we started flipping through dictionaries to look for words starting with an OVER eg. OVERload. Shinya later suggested UVERflow, a combination of UVERworld and FLOW, Evelyn's two favourite Japanese bands. However, the idea was scraped because Evelyn didn't know much about FLOW. When it all came down to uverworld.net and all the payment had been settled, Evelyn's host for rangiku.org had some problems and the registration was delayed for a few days. When he was about to register it on Saturday night, uverworld.net has been taken by a company. You wouldn't believe how pissed Evelyn and Sie were. In the end, we registered uverworld.org, the only other extension available and shirts have been made by both Eve and Sie to commemorate this day (picture above).
This site currently runs together under flyne.net hosting package under an add-on domain. So if the link you visited suddenly changes to http://uver.flyne.net, do not panic.
The site, under the continuous support and encouragement from members from UVERtalk aims to provide English speaking UVERfans with an environment to celebrate their love for UVERworld. We might form a fanclub in the near future and organise our own activities since we can't join the official fanclub because we do not live in Japan . We, the staff members of uverworld.org swear to put in our best and we seek your support and encouragement =)

How to contact UVERworld?
Through their official BBS. This is the simplest method. Not only you can check whether your message has been put up, UVERworld mentioned they try to read all the messages on their BBS before. Just so you know, don't bother leaving your contacts and tell them to contact you, because it won't be approved. However, such contact is very one sided. UVERworld can't reply your message. So don't bother asking them any questions unless they said they might address it.
Narutocool has kindly translated it for those who do not understand Japanese. The gender, first choice is Boy and second choise is Girl.
- But hei, I don't want it to be shown in public Then use their Message Board. You are required to put your mailing address and name. This method does not guarantee that your message will be read by UVERworld, as all messages go through the Sony Music staff members first before they decided if they will pass it to UVERworld. The chances of UVERworld replying is very slim.
- How about fan letters? On their Message Board page, they have the address to the fan letter, you can refer here for the romaji. You can send them a fan letter, but they have lots and lots of letters everyday. They got 4 boxes full of chocolate on 2007 valentine. As much as UVERworld promises to read fan letters, they might not have the time to read it properly, especially if you write long letters.
- Help I don't understand Japanese! Before emailing us anything about you not knowing Japanese so that you want us to translate, please check online translators such as Babblefish or Excite. The staff of Uorg are learning Japanese, but we are yet proficient in the language.

- I want to buy UVERworld goods! part 2
There are more UVERworld goods that fans can purchase that are not on any online shops as they are only for mail orders. For example, tour goods and UVERworld's official goods shop. Unless you have a Japanese address, they will not ship it to you. You have to look for shipping services that can do such a thing for you. Harana's recommendation would be Crescent Shop. You can buy these items from Yahoo Auctions as well.
You cannot buy from Yahoo Auctions (most of the time because the seller refuse to sell overseas), therefore similarly, you have to look for shipping services that can do such a thing for you.
The disadvantage about shopping services are their commission fee. Do read in details before ordering.
