Yuchan's Anniversary Letter

Dear Choice and A.C.E,

At the time you're reading this letter, I'll be working hard on my military duties.

I'm sure we miss each other a lot, but probably won't be able to see each other on the 6th anniversary (ㅠ-ㅠ) , so I'm patiently going to express my heart in this letter.

A lot of time has passed since May 23rd, 2017...

We worked so hard for six years, and all of our smiles and tears of joy and sadness were soaked up in those moments that it became six years of very solid, sentimental and melancholic (/neutral and precious) memories. (A.C.E ♥ Choice 6th anniversary~ 🎉)

These times and memories that wouldn't have been made without you, and all of you who gave these gifts to me (/the person that I am) are so very precious to me.

Between being 21 till turning 27, I've received more love from Choice than I could've wished for, so I think I've gotten a lot of help in the process of gradually become an adult.

(in this endless wandering you're my one and only Clover~ 🍀)

I want to thank you sincerely for not just seeing us in the positions of artist and fans but for approaching me like friends at times, or like family.

Before becoming a singer or artist, (my priority is that) I want to become a good person who can be a positive influence to Choice by singing good songs.

Stand By You ~ ♪ ~ ♫

Now, when I go to the army, I want to use the time I spend there for myself and to improve myself.

So when I come out into society after being discharged from the military, I'll be a cool person on the outside too, but (more importantly) I'll come out as a cool person on the inside :)

I'm going to value the six years I've spent so far. But I'll also cherish the time we'll be making together from now on.

("We'll leave each other's names as the stars in the night sky so that I can feel you even when I look up.")

I always respect, thank, and love you Choice ♥

And our hyungs~

It's... gone by... so fast... Right? I still remember it like a photograph, how I first met my hyungs at 19, introduced myself and asked them (/you) to take good care of me. But now I'm already 27 years old and A.C.E is 6 years old! 😏

Looking back, I think it went by really quickly, but I feel good because I spent that time with my hyungs. I'm saying, even now that I'm writing this letter, I feel that way~~

(Oh! I feel happy at this moment. My whole body is shaking~)

I was relieved, reassured, and grateful that the people who were always by my side were my hyungs.

I felt like this in the past and I feel like this now, that I want to become a better and cooler person so that my hyungs say "Luckily we have Yuchan with us! He's so reliable!" A.C.E's maknae, my hyungs' little brother, can do it :) I really thank and love you, hyungs ♥

(I'll hug your tired heart and hope you'll be by my side for ever and ever :) )

Lastly

"My precious people who have always filled my four seasons with your various colors. May my future seasons and time be filled with your colors too."

Yes, I live in beautiful days because of you.

Thank you for reading this long letter! Take good care of your health. See you soon♥

- Choice's, A.C.E's, everyone's sunshine ☀️

Yuchan. -

10 Stephen Sondheim songs we'll never stop listening to

November 26, 2021

On the day of Stephen Sondheim's death, creating a list of his songs you will never stop playing is to invite an argument — and I do.

Sondheim died at 91, and I encourage you to read every obit, every snippet of historical context. I can offer only the fact that, almost always, on some level, there is Sondheim music in my head; it takes almost nothing to nudge it from sleep and get it tripping across my lips as I do the dishes or drive my car.

I wasn't so much a Sweeney Todd person — it freaked me out. I was very much a Company person. I watched a VHS tape of Into The Woods when I was babysitting in high school, and I never stopped loving it. A dear friend took me to Follies. I sent another friend a clip from Sunday In The Park With George after he had a professional disappointment.

I invite you to hear mine, but to love yours, however you first heard them.

1. "Getting Married Today," from Company

I don't remember why, but one day back when we all still worked in-person at the NPR offices, Ari Shapiro came by my desk when I wasn't there and left me a note. It said: I came up here to rattle off the lyrics to "I'm Not Getting Married" for you from memory, and you decided to be gone. What, I ask you, could be more important than this? - Guess (which is also the last word of another Sondheim song. Know which one?)

"Getting Married Today" is a song in which a woman expresses her extraordinary worry on her wedding day, repeatedly declaring that in fact, she will not get married after all. (Before changing her mind in the end.) It is a song that is also a sporting event, because — as this note suggests — the barrage of rapid-fire lyrics entitles you to bragging rights. But lest you think that means it is only patter, when Beth Howland is blasting her way through it like a champ during the D.A. Pennebaker documentary Original Cast Album: Company, Sondheim says to her, "I don't want to upset you, but I'd love to have the tune."

2. "No One Is Alone," Into The Woods

This innocuous title belongs to a song that is, as it sounds like it should be, about the fact that we are rarely as isolated as we feel. But because Sondheim is Sondheim, it appears in a moment of deep grief, and it casts this fact as part comfort and part warning. You are not alone, it says, because people will be there with you, to love you. And you are not alone, it says, so be mindful of the consequences of your actions. "You move just a finger/say the slightest word/something's bound to linger — be heard."

3. "Move On," Sunday In The Park With George

A vision of a woman appears to a frustrated artist and urges him to continue with his art. It would be so easy for this song to collapse into a pep talk, but one of Sondheim's many gifts was his understanding of creation itself — which is part of why he makes such a delightful character in the just-released Tick Tick ... Boom.

George does not just need encouragement, he needs to be told that there is no certainty in trying to build beauty, and that an artist continues anyway. A soaring duet that originally brought together Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters, two Sondheim muses, it speaks with specificity to creative insecurity: "Stop worrying if your vision is new/let others make that decision, they usually do."

4. "Being Alive," Company

A lot of the Sondheim faithful see themselves as devotees of one show above all others: they are a Sweeney Todd person, a Sunday person, a Follies person. I am, more than anything, a Company person.

The story of Bobby, a man surrounded by couples and terribly skeptical about marriage, ends with this climactic admission that what is terrifying about intimacy is the same thing that is precious about it. "Someone to need you too much/someone to know you too well/someone to pull you up short/to put you through hell." Although it does have a bridge, this song mostly repeats and builds as Bobby is urged on by his friends — unlike a lot of Sondheim songs that weave and change. Along the way, it delivers little stunners like "someone to crowd you with love." And about that bridge? "Make me confused/mock me with praise/let me be used/vary my days"? It's an especially effective combination of a big, big moment in a song and a superficially mundane sentiment like "vary my days."

5. "Send In The Clowns," A Little Night Music

I will die on this hill: Few songs have gotten as unfair a deal as "Send In The Clowns." At some point, the combination of the fact that it was a pop hit for Judy Collins and the fact that it has "clowns" in the title started people down the road of thinking it was a corny easy-listening tune, when it's actually — like so much of Sondheim — quietly, memorably devastating. Seek out one of the performances from Dame Judi Dench, who brings out the tragedy in this story of two people who fear that they have missed their moment. The clowns are about absurdity, foolishness, and the images are, over and over, devastating: "Me here at last on the ground/you in mid-air."

6. "Could I Leave You?" Follies

Up there at #1, when Ari's note pointed out that "guess" is the last line in another Sondheim song, he was talking about "Could I Leave You?" Follies is a great one if you like your musicals ... well, furious, both in terms of anger and, at times, in terms of frenetic energy.

This particular number allows a woman a moment to finally tell her husband how much she does not love him, but perhaps because so much of Follies is about the stage, it begins as a much more conventional love song thematically reminiscent, of course, of "If Ever I Would Leave You" from Camelot. It does not end in the same emotional place, let us say.

7. "Side by Side by Side/What Would We Do Without You?" Company

Well, I told you I love Company. And one of the things I particularly love about it is that while Bobby ultimately seems to see the value of marriage through the eyes of his friends, his friends are not spared in their treatment of their "extra" single friend.

Sondheim always hides a knife in a cupcake, so of course you get Bobby singing this very cheery "ports in a storm/comfy and cozy" business about how close they all are, and then they join in and sing about how much they love him, and soon we arrive at: "Who is a flirt, but never a threat/Reminds us of our birthdays which we always forget?" Bobby is praised for helping with dishes, never complaining, listening to them complain, keeping their secrets from each other — his friends are drafting off his singleness even as they fret about it and try to change him.

8. "Ever After," Into The Woods

The genius of Into The Woods is that the first act is like a regular fairy tale with happy endings, and the second act complicates them all: people become unfaithful and get killed and stop loving each other in the same way. "Ever After" is the bridge between these sections, coming right at the end of the first act, and if you don't pay too much attention to it, it really does seem to be a conclusion of sorts. In fact, it is explicit on this point: "Journey over, all is mended, and it's not just for today/but tomorrow and extended, ever after."

Unfortunately, you begin to sense that something is not quite right. But what I love about it is partly that Sondheim had a way of writing these absolutely devilish, almost tossed-off melodies that I think of as Bernadettes — as in, "I'm pretty sure only Bernadette Peters can sing that exactly right." And "Ever After" has a bunch of them, mixed with playful rhyming that came to mind when I first saw Hamilton. "I was perfect," the witch sings, "I had everything but beauty, I had power, and a daughter like a flower in a tower."

9. "Jet Song," West Side Story

I know, I know — he only wrote the lyrics. Leonard Bernstein wrote the music. And I know sometimes he's talked about not even liking the lyrics. But long before I was ready for the emotional notes of Company or the second act of Into The Woods, I listened to the cast album of West Side Story at home endlessly, endlessly.

Apparently, as a small child, I was not prepared for the themes of resentment and intimacy that populate his other work, but murder, I processed just fine. I will always credit my attachment to musical theater in general to those cast albums I listened to as a little kid, long before I knew anything about composers — this one, Annie, A Chorus Line (apparently those themes were also fine?). And while I will never stop appreciating the tragedy and the reach of some of these from an adult perspective, this was kid music for me.

10. "Finishing The Hat," Sunday In The Park With George

How not to end with Sondheim's own song about the power and cost of creation? He called his two coffee-table books of lyrics Finishing The Hat and Look, I Made A Hat. There are some amazing videos of Sondheim teaching young musicians that aired on television many years ago, and seeing the way he would correct a breath or the finest point of pronunciation — gently, kindly, but resolutely -- drives home how serious he was about what he made.

"Finishing the Hat" is a song that showcases some of his favorite moves, including that little bauble that repeats when George sings "win-dow." But more than anything, I think of this song as the work of a writer who was incredibly imposing and incredibly exacting, and saw creativity as something wholly absorbing, whether it was the creation of a song or a painting or a hat.

Talk to me

I decided to be in the feels today.

Please deal with me I started writing that last night and I have no idea where I was going but it's still cute (c'mon, it's Mishima Yūki we're talking about. Of course it's cute) I think.

It takes place a while before canon... Around the time Kamoshida started training the volleyball club.

¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫¸¸¸♬·¯·♩¸¸♪·¯·♫¸¸

For the first time in a while, I saw a silhouette I really really missed.

-Yūki!

He looked like he had seen a ghost, and it looked like his body literally froze. I was... Worried, to say the least.

-Hey, is everything alright?

-Ah, uhm, yes. Now excuse me, but I have to... Go.

-Wait!

-Hm?

Yūki wasn't even looking at me.

-What's wrong? You've been avoiding me for days now, and... And, well, I miss you.

-I... I have to go to my club. Can you wait for me? And we'll talk after?

-Sure, yeah, okay. See you then!

I waved at him and he smiled before running to the gym, and I turned around, walking towards the library: I had to find something to do while I waited, after all.

♪°•°∞°•°♪°•°∞°•°♪°•°∞°•°♪°•°∞°•°♪

I was waiting at the gates, and I soon saw the volleyball club's members making their way out of the school.

-Hey, sorry, I made you wait.

-No worries! I said. Now, do you wanna go somewhere?

He didn't answer, and I let out a little "Mh?" to catch his attention.

-Since we're Saturday... Would your parents be okay if we went to your place?

I nodded: Mishima and I have been friends for a long time and I knew they'd be okay with him staying at home. I sent a message to my mom, telling her that Yūki would stay over tonight.

-As usual. Come on, we're gonna miss the train!

-Sorry, I can't walk too fast, my... Knee hurts.

Hiding my worry, I smiled, telling him that it was alright.

♪°•°∞°•°♪°•°∞°•°♪°•°∞°•°♪°•°∞°•°♪

When we got in my room, just as usual, I sat on my bed and patted the spot on my right.

-So... Tell me, what's wrong?

Yūki sighed. He was looking at the -apparently really interesting- floor, and I took his hand in mine. I wasn't squeezing it, I just wanted him to know that I was there for him.

-I'm not sure I can talk about it like that.

-Who's gonna know if you do? It's just the two of us here, I said, so don't worry. Talk to me, Yūki. Please.

His eyes met mine for the first time, and I had to resist the urge to hug him tight.

-It's... I'm scared. He admitted. Middle school was terrible, and the first year of high school was great, so I thought it would finally get better, but... Then Kamoshida became our team's coach and I've done nothing good ever since. I've even been avoiding you because I was scared. I guess I'm still a worthless zero after all.

He let out a dry, joyless laugh.

-This guy was definitely shady. I mumbled. Isn't there anything we can do?

-I don't think so... I'm scared it'll only worsen the situation: the principal, the professor... Everyone knows about it, y'know, so...

I literally felt my blood boil.

-They... They know? And they don't do anything? Is that some kind of lame joke?

-I'm sorry.

His whispered apology left me astounded for a moment.

-What... What are you sorry for?

-I... I don't wanna make you angry. Nor sad. Nor anything. At least not for someone like me.

-Mishima Yūki. Look at me. You're not a zero, you're not worthless. And I'll get angry because this guy's hurting you. You, and so many others. But I care about you. You're my best friend, okay? I love you.

He didn't answer, but I could see tears forming in his eyes. I didn't think twice before locking him in a protective hug.

-It'll be alright. I whispered. It's all gonna be okay.
