pvs (if you start with the zipangu side there's lots of the fun classic jwest pvs and from the other way is more cooler ones, this just happened somehow)

subbed content (you will need a livejournal account for some of these, some will have requirements to join i think but i know jounetsu-8 you can just join without doing anything first)
- https://jounetsu-8.livejournal.com/ (the most important one: concert dvds, pvs, pv makings, con documentaries, stageplays, etc. i usually recommend lucky7 as the first concert and pv makings are a good fun way to get to know them
- https://paripiposubs.livejournal.com/ (mostly the variety show naminori junny, but also they have the shabekuri 007 which is definitely recommended early watching)
- https://mambodesubs.livejournal.com/ (the variety show agent west)
- http://just-means.livejournal.com/ (a couple episodes of old shows)
- https://royalflush-subs.livejournal.com/(some episodes of doyoru no mosozoku)
- https://johnnys-west.livejournal.com (this is where you can find everything, there's a lot more stuff and more places with translated videos and interviews etc i can't think of right now as well as raws)
- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Cb4fCctXVF0YOVkNmUgWYxKYJ53HUJONlYtNwwVuRtg/edit#gid=945736602 translated radio clips, etc by kay_translates on twitter

10,000 word interviews (long reads, but very important to get to know the members and get a much deeper understanding of them and the group. they're very emotional)

another good place to start: netflix has a really funny show where they're the cast called blazing transfer students. it's on there in every language!
