Sometimes people dread to go on social media because they’re afraid of trolls and toxic individuals. The fans of Pinoy pop (P-pop) idol group SB19 and Japanese boy band ARASHI, however, proved over the weekend that social media still has the power to unite and inspire.

As reported by Bandwagon, the fans of SB19 (A’TIN) and ARASHI (ARASHIANS), joined forces to hold two streaming parties. They held a YouTube streaming party on Oct. 17 and a Spotify streaming party on Oct. 18. Their goal? To put the spotlight on Asian pop music and introduce people to the songs of their respective idols. The collaboration was so successful on social media that #YTPartyARASHIxSB19 even trended at No. 1 on Twitter in the Philippines on Oct. 17. The hashtag also trended in Japan for over six hours, with over 67,000 tweets, according to a tweet by @ArashionMTVFLS that was brought to Digital Life Asia’s attention by @SB19RTSquad126.
