7th track out of 8

Translation by gardenofmelodies

Track 7 – ASSASSIN

Shin: What is this place?

Sawa: It seems to be a warehouse of some place…

Toma: It’s too dark… I can’t see around well… Are you all here?!

Kent: I’m here.

Ikki: I’m here. Rika and Mine?

Rika: I’m right here.

Mine: Me too. It’s kinda… scary, this place…

Ukyo: The only one besides her who didn’t return to his original self is Waka-san, right? Hah… This really gives me a bad feeling…

Orion: Be careful, Ukyo! Run away!

Shin: What?!

Ukyo: A knife?! No, this is a dagger!

Waka: Oh well, it seems you finally noticed what is this world, huh?

Toma: Manager?!

Ikki: Waka-san… What is with that dark outfit?

Waka: Oh? It seems we have a bigger number of people I thought I had. Then, let’s immobilize all of you confined here, one by one.

Ukyo: Wait-!

Waka: I’ll start now. Pray to God!

Ikki:  Ken!

Kent: Wah! My coat is caught in the floor! I can’t take it off!

Ikki: Aah, geez, that’s because you’re using those loose clothes!

Waka: Do you really think you have time to be talking?!

Ikki: Uwah!?

Sawa: Aah!! Heavy….!

Shin: Ikki-san!

Ikki: What is this? A wire? Huh… I can’t move…!

Toma: Manager! Calm down! This is not the time to do something like this!

Waka: That’s right. I don’t have time. I’m collecting people for the next group. Therefore, I’ll make each one of you sleep until then.

Ukyo: “Sleep”?

Waka: Trying to avoid will only make it more dangerous.

Toma: Wa-? Guh!!

Shin: Toma!!

Waka: Now, it only remains more two. Only immobilizing would be a waste, so I’m going to finish with you two. It’s ok, I’ll finish it soon.

Ukyo: No, that would give me troubles!! Please, just listen to us!

Waka: Confess your sins to God. Then, goodbye.

Ukyo: Waka-san!

Mine: Manager!! Last week, Sawa-senpai mistake the bland coffee and gave the Kilimanjaro to the client!

Waka: What did you say…?

Ukyo: Mine-chan…?

Sawa: Wait! Why are you saying that now?!

Mine: Besides, she got criticized! The next time, she made the same mistake and brought the same coffee!

Waka: Bland and… Kilimanjaro? Sawa-san! What a sin you’ve made! How could you not distinguish the characteristics and the taste between the Kilimanjaro and the Bland one?!

Sawa: S-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-sorry!! I’ll apologize, so, please move away that knife…!

Waka: Knife?! Oh. Why am I holding this…? Everyone? What are you doing? Why are you wearing those clothes fulfilled with dust?

Toma: Who did this… Weren’t you, Manager?

Ikki: Anyway, could you please untie us?

Waka: I can understand how you could mistake the grains… But, from all of the things you could mistake, you mistook the type?!

Sawa: Umm…um… I’m really… Sorry.

Waka: I won’t say it’s not true the Kilimanjaro’s smell is similar, but it’s still not a good excuse to mistake them! It seems you really need a special training!

Sawa: Special training?! Ah, no, that is…! Wah… Wait, don’t just look and help me, Minee!

Mine: Eeh, but it’s true you mistook them…

Sawa: But if you didn’t say it he wouldn’t know, right?!

Rika: But if Mine-san didn’t tell about your mistake, everyone here would have been eliminated by the manager.

Sawa: T-that’s true, but…

Shin: Waah… I was in a seriously dangerous situation…

Toma: You’re still better than me! I’m still all hurt. Manager really hits strongly* (notsure)

Ikki: The same “manager” who were threatening us with knifes is now lecturing Sawa-chan about coffee related stuff now…

Shin: His priorities are weird, you know.

Kent: But even so… She wasn’t here too.

Ikki: And it seems they also don’t remember her name.

Ukyo: That’s true. Where did she go…? Orion, you still didn’t find her?

Orion: Hmm… That’s what it seems. Neil-sama asked me to check this world, but…

Ukyo: I’m lost…

Shin: Wait a minute. These worlds good-for-nothing are formed based on someone’s desires, right?

Ukyo: Yes, that’s right. Rather than formed based on someone’s desires, it’s created based on someone’s dellusions.

Shin: If that’s so, a place she wishes she could be… It’s probably not this weird world.

tankhun popping vegas upside the head with a tray

porsche "jelly legs" pachara forgetting how to air when kinn shot an apple off his head

kinn grew up so much as he and porsche fell in love

english in the minor family is a running theme...ken did it too which makes me wonder how i didn't see him as the mole before...

the way vegas saw god when pete told him their dads were the problem, not them

bread

porsche looking so grown up during his march through the minor family house with everyone bowing to him

the hands touching with the rings visible was an allusion to marriage and nobody can convince me otherwise

[blisslilywrites]

Hi! Happy New Year and merry Christmas.)) I hope that you will succeed with your blog. Good luck!) Can I ask for a scenario about Kirisaki Daichi's team? Their wife, after visiting the doctor, told the boys that they would have triplets (three daughters). I would be happy if you would respond. Thank you.)

A/N: Hewwo^-^ Again sorry this took so long 😅but we hope you like it~

HANAMIYA MAKOTO

Three days had passed after telling your husband about having triplets, he reacted aghast and was in his speechless state up to that day. He told you he was fine but you assumed otherwise. As you recalled how he behaved for the previous days, you couldn’t help but smile and think about what would happen in the future. 

“Y/N, let’s eat.” he invited, placing different dishes upon the table. 

You noticed his usual act as you supposed he was already fine and got rid of his small tantrum. Because the last time he cooked food, he shut himself in the bedroom and ate alone. 

“Mako-chan.. Are you okay now?” you asked, a grin forming on your lips. These moments were the only ones you could make fun of him with evidence. 

“What are you saying? I’ve always been okay,” he bluffed, though you could only tell he was pretending.

“Okay, huh? Then care to explain why you were isolating yourself right after telling you we’ll be having triplets, three girls at that.” 

“I-I mean—, it was too hard to process.” he looked away.

You raised an eyebrow, “Then, are you okay now?”

“I–I mean, I wasn’t saying it was hard to process or anything. I meant, why three? I expected it to be five, all girls.” 

You just sighed at your husband, and cracked a smile as there are times your husband could be cute and a total tsundere. 

HARA KAZUYA

Hara fidgeted his fingers with his impatience on the line. The two of you were sitting down on a couch, waiting for the doctor’s announcement regarding your pregnancy. 

“Hey.. Y/N, what gender do you think it is?” he asked.

“I want it to be a girl,” 

“Really? I want it to be a boy,”

Not long enough for the doctor to feed your husband’s restlessness as Hara straightened up the moment he heard the footsteps of the doctor. 

The doctor sat down before you and cleared his throat, “You will be having triplets, three girls. Congratulations,” 

“W-WHAAAAAT?!” Hara’s mouth opened wide, with his scream you intervened.

“Hehehe, thank you doc! We’re going home now so please excuse us,” 

The two of you got home with your boyfriend still panicking. He went on about “t-t-triplets?” as you calmed him down and assuaged his hysteria.

“Kazu, what are you even prancing on about? I don’t understand. Do you like them or not?”

“Of course I love them! But I can’t even handle myself well and you’re giving me three kids?”

“Ah.. That’s what you’re going on about?” You giggled. You couldn’t take your eyes off on your husband and his cutesy act as you thought about taking care of FOUR kids at once in the future.

FURUHASHI KOJIRO

It was another quiet evening at home. You were craving for some takeout so you had called your husband, Kojiro, to buy some on the way home. 

When you finally heard the lock click and the doorknob turn, you practically ran up and pounced on him. Well, you tried to. Being 4-months pregnant didn't help much with your physical ability. 

You eagerly took the food from him and set it up on the dinner table. It's actually been a while since the two of you have properly sat down and had a meal with each other. He's been working late nights for the past few weeks to try and save up enough for the baby when it came. Which was why he missed today's appointment where you found out a few interesting things...

"So y/n, how was the doctor’s appointment?”

You took another bite of food before carefully saying, “Well, I found out their genders...”

“Hold up... their? Are we having twins?” he said a little too quickly.

“Close but not quite,” you answered. He looked at you with confusion and you took a deep breath. 

“Kojiro, we’re having triplets. Three girls.”

His face went blank. 

“Three?”

“Yes.”

“Like one of them. And then another. And then another?”

“Yes.”

“All at once?”

“Yes.”

He exhaled slowly and then stood up to walk to the refrigerator.

“Koji? Are you ok?”

“Yeah I’m perfectly fine,” he said, pulling out a beer from the fridge.

You couldn’t help but let out a small laugh.

SETO KENTARO

“Thank you doctor,” you beamed before letting the nurse escort you out. That was...a very interesting visit, to say the least. In all honesty, you weren’t sure yourself how you felt about having triplets.

You exited the hospital and smiled as you saw the familiar car and even more familiar driver pull up in front of the hospital. The driver’s door opened and out walked your husband, Seto Kentaro. 

“Hey, sorry I took so long. Work was a bit hectic.”

“Don’t worry about it,” you said with a smile. You couldn’t exactly stay mad at him anyway.

He guided you to the car and carefully helped you get in. He might not admit it but he was actually really excited to meet his future kid, or rather kids, and has already begun taking on his fatherly duties. 

Once you were both in the car, he drove off towards home.

“So, how’d the appointment go? Any news?”

“Well...I found out their genders,” you started.

“And?”

You smiled at his haste. “All girls.”

“Wait-- what do you mean all girls?”

“I mean that we’ll be having three little girls.”

He swerved off course but quickly regained control the next second. 

“Three? As in one, two, three?”

“Ken-chan aren’t you supposed to be good math? Yes, three of them,” you teased. 

He seemed to have tensed up.

Sighing, you took one of his hands and said, “Don’t worry too much about it ok? We’ll do fine. I’m sure we will.”

He gave you a sideways glance and grinned.

“Now focus on the road.”

YAMAZAKI HIROSHI

A soft breeze blew into the room as your husband opened the door and entered. You looked up from your pregnancy book and gave him a wide smile as he walked up to you. 

“How was work?”

“Eh it was fine. How’re you two doing?” he said smiling towards your bump. 

You returned his smile a little nervously. Truth is, you’ve been trying to figure out a way to tell him about the triplets for a while now. It wasn’t that you wanted to keep this from him or anything, it was just that you knew his tendency to panic over these sorts of things. 

You took a deep breath. 

“It’s actually not just the two of us.”

“Hmm? What do you mean?”

“I mean...there’s three of them inside me.”

“What now?” 

His eyes went wide. 

“Three of them?” he asked skeptically. 

You gave a sheepish nod, “That doctor’s appointment the other day, they told me we were having triplets. All girls...”

He exhaled loudly and started pacing back and forth in front of you. 

“So you’re telling me I’m gonna have to take care of three babies, all at the same time, for the next 18 years of my life?!?!”

You could clearly see he was starting to panic. 

“hiro,” you said.

He didn’t seem to hear you, so you cleared your throat and called him again.

“YAMAZAKI HIROSHI!”

That finally got his attention and he turned to look at you.

You gave him the sweetest smile possible, “I’m sure we can do it honey.”

You squeezed his hand reassuringly and he smiled back.

MATSUMOTO ITSUKI

You and Matsumoto had just got out of the hospital after having to hear the words of the doctor, saying you will be having three daughters five months from now. Your husband didn’t panic nor reacted as if seeing a ghost like the other guys, he was calmer than you and remained his poise. 

“Y/N, let’s go to a restaurant for lunch.” he declared, smiling at you. 

He supported your steps and balance as the both of you got to the restaurant safely. He guided you to the tables and went behind a seat and pulled it towards him, making a space for you to sit down without doing any of the work. 

After him calling the waiter and ordering the food, you asked, “Itsuki-kun, aren’t you nervous or something? About having triplets.”

“What? No. In fact, I am really happy, Y/N. Although I am a bit scared. But I know for sure that they’ll be as cute and passionate as you.” you beamed at his reply, he is the sweetest. 

“Thank you, Itsuki-kun.”

As the waiter settled down the food, you noticed the abnormal amount of plates on the table. 

“Hey, Itsuki-kun, aren’t our food too much? We can’t finish all of these!”

“Hey. After knowing you have three kids inside your belly, you should eat four times of what you eat daily. We’re having triplets here, darling.” you scowled, yet at the end of the day you thank your husband for being mature.

Sweet Like Pudding Ch. 22

Italics - thoughts

It's been roughly two months since the end of the training camp. Kanna and Kenma had kept in touch. They chatted and even video called at times, as she does her homework and Kenma plays his games. They'd talk about the troublesome people surrounding them, Kuroo and Koutarou, Kenma's teammates annoying him, and just whatever topic Kanna has on her mind on that specific day.

Much to the delight of Akaashi, who found out they kept contact, despite Kanna trying her best to hide it (she still doesn't know that he knows). It wasn't really that hard for him to figure it out though, what with how much she's recently been glued to her phone and all the smiles she tries oh so terribly to not make them notice. Koutarou maybe, but not him. But in the meantime, he'll keep this all to himself and he'll let the others find out on their own. It's more fun this way anyway. Plus, he gets more pictures for the scrapbook and to possibly bribe Kenma with in the future.

Currently Kanna and Akaashi were at Kanna's home/apartment doing their respective assignments. After a straight hour of continuous studying, they decided to take a break, which reminded Kanna of an upcoming special occasion.

"Hey Keiji, you know how its Kou's birthday next week right?" Kanna brought up the topic, earning a nod from the male.

"We should really do something, even if it's small. Or else he'll whine about it." She grimaces, to which Akaashi shows a sympathetic expression of agreement.

"Small party after school at the house?" Akaashi suggests.

"I'll talk to Aunty then. We should invite Kuroo right?" She nods and adds in question, sure that her cousin would be delighted to have his best friend there.

Akaashi nods. "You can ask Kenma if the both of them are free."

"Hm. I'll ask then." Kanna then got her phone out and proceeded to type a message to Kenma.

—Hey, Kenma

—Are you free to talk? Keiji and I were wondering about something

She had just pressed send, when she suddenly realized something. "Wait, how did you—"

Only to be cut off by the sound of her phone ringing, indicating an incoming call. She pressed accept, and put it on speaker phone so Akaashi could be included in the conversation as well.

—Call—

"Hello, Kenma?"

"Yes?"

"Ah! Keiji's here with me and we were just wondering if you and Kuroo would be free next week for Kou's birthday?"

"Hmm... That's on Thursday, right?"

"Yes"

"I'd have to ask Kuroo if we have practice on that day. Though I'm sure he'd want to attend, since it is Bokuto's birthday. But we might be late in case we do have practice."

"That's alright Kozume. I'm sure Bokuto-san would be glad with just the mere fact that the two of you are coming to attend." Akaashi interjects.

"I see. Is that all?"

"Yes, thank you so much. I'm sorry if we interrupted anything." Kanna replies in a grateful but apologetic tone.

"Its fine, you didn't. I'll just message you when I have Kuroo's answer."

"Okay! Thank you again! Bye~"

"Hn"

—Call End—

"That went well." Kanna smiles looking towards Akaashi, only to see him staring down at her phone with a contemplative expression.

"Ken-kun?" Akaashi asks, lifting his head up and looking at her highly amused with the unexpected discovery.

"W-h-a-t~" Kanna drawled, looking away from Akaashi in embarrassment.

"Dang it! I was hoping he wouldn't notice it. But of course, he did!" She thought, slightly troubled.

Akaashi merely shook his head in mirth at her denial. "So, plans?"

"Right! Hm~ It's his last birthday before he graduates, so we need to do something a little special. It doesn't have to be big, just, I don't know… memorable?" Kanna vaguely reasons.

"We could have the usual team celebration moved to the morning instead of morning practice. We would have to get the coach's permission, but I'm sure he could make an exception." Akaashi offers.

"That works. You'll inform the rest?" Kanna asks and Akaashi merely takes out his phone to inform the rest of the team the change of plans for the set date.

"Then we'll have a second party in the afternoon, but this time along with Kuroo and Kenma." Kanna confirms, earning a nod from Akaashi.

"…..What else can we add?" She says as she closes her eyes, deep in thought.

"There's that cake shop downtown that does crazy cakes on request, we could ask them to make one." Akaashi proposes, remembering the shop he walks by every day.

"That's… a wonderful idea Keiji! I'm sure he'd be over the moon! We could split the cost once we get all the details down." Kanna sits up and clasps her hands in delight at the proposition.

"We could go there tomorrow after classes, since we don't have practice." Akaashi suggests, to which Kanna nods in approval.

"Hmm…. Presents?" Kanna asks, wondering if she'll even be able to.

"I don't think we'd have enough money to buy him a separate present. I'm sure the cake would cost a lot, it would be customized after all." Akaashi reasons

Kanna shrugs in response. "Knowing him, he'll be happy with just the cake, so we probably don't even need to get him anything more."

Seeming to come to an agreement, they end the planning there. With that they returned to finishing their works in silence.

—~~~— —~~~— —~~~— —~~~— —~~~— —~~~— 

The day is finally here. Kanna, along with the Fukurodani Team (minus Koutarou), woke up extra early to get the gym ready for the celebration. Kanna arrived on school grounds at about the same time as the rest of the guys, who were carrying a couple decorations, as well as a medium sized box of cake. They hurriedly shuffled towards the gym and quickly got started on things, as it was only a matter of time before the guest of honor arrived.

Meanwhile, Koutarou was having a very good morning. Why, you ask. That's because it's his special day.

"Happy~ Birthday~ to~ me~" He sings in his head. If you squint, you'll see the glowing flowery background surrounding him, as he skips down the street with the biggest and dorkiest smile on his face.

As he reached the school grounds, he began to wonder if his team had remembered the special occasion.

"It's my last year… wonder what I should do with the team?" Koutarou thought as he opened the doors of the gym, only to be greeted with a loud.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAPTAIN!"

There the team, plus his cousin, were gathered as a group in the middle of the gym, wide smiles on their faces. A whiteboard covered in decorations was behind them with the words 'Happy Birthday to the Bestest Captain', in front of them was a table with a medium sized chocolate cake with a single lit candle on top, waiting to be blown.

"YOU GUYS~~!" Koutarou exclaimed as he ran up to join the group.

"Oy Oy! Don't get mushy now!" Konoha yelled alarmed at Koutarou as he got close enough to see the glazed eyes of his Captain.

"Come, blow the candle before it melts on the cake." Shirofuku herds, effectively gathering all of their attention.

They sang him a 'Happy Birthday' with Koutarou enthusiastically joining in. He childishly closed his eyes as he made a wish, smiling brightly as he blew the candle. After a round of clapping and another 'happy birthdays', the group happily cut the cake, excited to dig in on the sweet treat.

Koutarou looked on fondly at every single one of them, saving to memory every single smiling face. He really was glad to have been a part of this team. And he wouldn't trade them for the world. With a big bright smile on his face, he joins in on indulging himself with the chocolate cake in his hand.

—~~~— —~~~— —~~~— —~~~— —~~~— —~~~— 

That afternoon, Akaashi walked with Koutarou back to his house, making sure to keep the older male distracted to not question anything. Though it was proving to be an even easier task than he had anticipated, as Koutarou was much too engrossed in his good mood and was continuously blabbering about to notice anything amiss. Like his currently absent cousin.

Kanna had left early to pick up the cake and prepare for the second part of their surprise, Akaashi only hoped that he was able to stall enough time for her to finish. Nonetheless, Akaashi was thankful as they arrived at the Older Bokuto's household without a hitch.

They walked up to the house, with Koutarou opening the door and greeting in his usual highly enthusiastic way.

"We're home!"

With Akaashi quietly voicing an almost nonexistent, "Excuse me for the intrusion."

"Welcome Home! We're in the kitchen dear!" His mom answers back in the same volume.

They took their shoes off and made their way to the kitchen to be greeted by the two women of the family busy cooking, Koutarou and Kanna's moms.

"Kou-kun! There's the birthday boy! Or should I call you birthday Man~" Kanna's mom exclaims teasingly, causing a loud and jolly laugh to burst from the aforementioned male.

"Hello Keiji-kun, so nice of you to join us again." Koutarou's mom greets with a smile, earning her a respectful nod from the raven-head.

"Kanna-chan's not here?" Koutarou asked as he looked around not noticing any sign of his cousin.

"Oh, she went out to buy matches, saying we ran out. She should be back any minute now." Kanna's mom answers as she goes back to preparing and plating the food.

"Oh—" Koutarou began only to be cut off by the doorbell ringing.

*Ding Dong~*

Koutarou looked questioningly at his mom and aunt, and lastly Akaashi. He knew it wasn't Kanna as she wouldn't have any need to ring the bell, so he wondered if they were expecting anyone. The three only gestured for him to go on ahead and open the door. Shrugging as he complied, Koutarou made his way towards the door. He opened it to see Kuroo and Kenma in front of him, causing him to exclaim.

"Bro!"

And Kuroo answered in equal enthusiasm. "Bro!"

"Bro!"

"Bro!"

This went on for a minute or two, before Kuroo decided to break it.

"Happy Birthday!" Kuroo says.

"Hahahaha! Thanks!" Koutarou chuckles in response, as he ushers Kuroo in so he can close the door behind him. "Come in! Come in!"

Only to freeze along with Kuroo once they turned around. There was Kenma, out of his shoes, looking at them, waiting.

Kuroo recovered first and broke the silence. "Kenma? When did you get there?"

"When you were having your idiotic moment." Kenma deadpanned. He'd sidestepped and chose to ignore the duo sharing a single brain cell, in favor of stepping inside and out of the cold night air.

Koutarou merely shrugged and ushered the two along. "Come, they're in the kitchen."

"Mom! Kuroo and Kenma are here!" He yelled as he skipped in front of the two.

"Hello! Excuse us for the intrusion." Kuroo greets as they came into view, Kenma bows in greeting to the group.

Kenma scans the room and notices Akaashi along with two older women, one who he knows to be the older Bokuto's mom. He glances to the other and thinks. "….she must be Kanna's mom."

"Hello boys! Thank you for coming." Koutarou's mom greets back to the two with a smile.

"Oh! Hello there, I don't believe we've met before?" Kanna's mom looks curiously between the two, making Kenma twitch.

"Aunty, this is my bestest bro Kuroo and this is his childhood friend Kenma. Guys this is my Aunt Kumiko, Kanna-chan's mom." Koutarou introduces, gesturing to each person as he named them.

"Kuroo Tetsurou, Nice to meet you Kumiko-san!" Kuroo respectfully bows.

"Kozume Kenma." Kenma softly says, bowing along with Kuroo.

"So this is him…" Kumiko thought with a warm smile.

"Not much of a talker, are you. Well that's alright, my dear Kanna's the same with people she just met. Nice to meet the both of you too! Thank you for looking out for my baby at the training camp." She nonchalantly waves her hand and fixes the two with a grateful smile.

"It was nothing, Kumiko-san! If anything we should be the ones who are thankful, as she helped us. Speaking of which, where is the little owl?" Kuroo respectfully answers, and wonders as he hasn't seen the younger Bokuto anywhere.

"She stepped out for a bit, she should be back—" Kumiko explains only to be cut off by a loud yell.

"I'm back!" Kanna exclaims, the door closing shut behind her.

"I got the—" She started, but cut herself as she came into view and saw the new additional people.

"Kenma!" She says with a wide smile.

As their eyes locked, the visible change in the male didn't escape those watching the two. He might've been facing away from the group, but they could clearly see how he was much more relaxed than when he first arrived.

"Kuroo-san! You guys made it!" She continues as she turns to the taller male.

"Of course, wouldn't miss it for the world." Kuroo replies with a chuckle at the enthusiasm, and secretly at how Kenma reacted to Kanna's arrival.

"She still calls me with a '-san' though..." He inwardly sighs. "Guess she's not that comfortable with me yet."

"Did you find some, dear?" Her mom interrupts.

"I did!" She answers, brandishing the box of matches in her hand "Let's start?"

"Alright then, Kou-kun close your eyes." Koutarou's mom orders with a clap of her hands.

Koutarou follows, eagerly waiting. Kanna nudges Akaashi and gestures towards the other room for help with the cake. He walks over with her and lifts the cake, with Kanna's guidance, he carefully places it on the table along with the others. Kanna lifts off the covering, causing Kuroo to whistle and Kenma to widen his eyes.

Kuroo's whistle, of course, caused Koutarou to fuss. "What?! What?! I wanna see~!"

"Shh! We're almost done." Kanna remarks as she carefully places the candle on top and lights it. "Okay, done!"

Koutarou opens his eyes and glows—literally glows—in utter delight as he joyfully cheers in happiness. There, in front of him, was the coolest cake he has ever seen. It was an owl cake, but most of all, A Horned Owl cake in his likeness.

"THIS—IT'S— IT'S—WAAAA~!" Koutarou sobbed as he fussed over the cake. Everybody laughed at the birthday boy's antics.

"Alright enough of that, dry your tears Kou-kun and blow the candle or else the it'll melt on the cake." His mom playfully chides.

Koutarou reigns in his composure and closes his eyes to make a wish, before he opens them and blows on the candle. Afterwards, the two ladies ushers the group of teenagers for a picture, laughing at Koutarou's snot and tear stained face.

They all sat down to eat, saying thank you to the two lovely women who prepared everything. A little while after, they were joined by Koutarou's Father who had just gotten off of work. They laughed as Kumiko-san scolded her brother for being late to his own son's birthday party, but it was all in good fun. After the meal, the adults ushered the group into the living room as they cleaned up, refusing help along the way. The five of them sat around the living room as Kuroo presented him his gift.

"My Dude, My Man, My Bro…" Kuroo started, earning groans from three individuals at the side, which he pointedly ignored.

"Kenma and I pitched in to get you this extra special birthday present. And I know you'll love it, so here you go!" He finishes as he hands Koutarou the wrapped present.

Koutarou eagerly rips it open and he beams. Kuroo and Kenma had gifted him a pair of Kneepads. But not just any old pair of kneepads. It was a pair of Owl Kneepads. He laughed and glomped Kuroo, spluttering his many thanks with a big smile on his face.

Meanwhile, Akaashi's eyes twitched in slight irritation, already picturing the impending chaos he'll have to deal with at practice with the addition that's bound to double—if not triple—his Captain's already boundless enthusiasm. Kanna sweat dropped at Akaashi's expression, while Kenma merely looked on unbothered.

"Why, did you agree to that?" Akaashi sighed exasperated, looking at Kenma with a betrayed expression.

"It's what he wanted to get. Kuroo said he found it a while back but didn't have enough money to buy it. So when I proposed on pitching in for a birthday present for Bokuto, he jumped on the opportunity." Kenma shrugged, pointedly ignoring the light glare he was receiving from the taller male.

Kuroo, Kenma and Akaashi didn't stay for long as it was getting late and they all had to take a couple of train rides back, not to mention they still had school early the next day. They all said their thanks to the Bokuto family, and excused themselves. Kumiko-san offered to drive them to the station on their way home, they wanted to refuse, but ultimately they couldn't decline Kanna's mom. So they all piled into Kumiko's car with Kanna on the passenger seat, and the trio at the back.

As Koutarou, his mom and dad, waved watching the car pull out of the drive way. Koutarou began to ponder, he really was blessed. The three years in Fukuroudani had been nothing but wonderful, but this had been the best year out of all for him. And that was because finally. Finally. He'd get to see Kanna, his precious baby cousin, genuinely smile and be happy again.

"Thank you all so much!"

Notes:

Happy Holidays Everyone! Also Happy Birthday Month for our very own Bokuto-Handler who-needs-more-appreciation-and-recognition-for-his-efforts, President Akaashi Keiji!

Here is the b-day special for Bokuto I have promised. I hope you all liked it! The next one (On New Year's) would be Kenma's, please do look forward to that as well.

Please Meet Kanna's mom, Bokuto Kumiko (OC). She's got the signature energetic personality of a Bokuto, and the brains Kanna inherited. She's has no partner and happily enjoying life (not a lot of people are capable of handling a Bokuto, especially a smart one). She's best friends with Akaashi, and regularly gets updates on her baby's recent development (who is clueless).

Once again, I got carried away while writing this chapter. This is by far the longest chapter I have done (so far). But I sure did enjoy myself while writing it, so...

No More Sleepovers || Trial 2.2 || Megumi || ATTN: Tomoe || RE: Mistrial Proposal

The trial's a goddamn blur.  Before she can even answer Satoshi's long past question, alibis and accusations fly across the room and Megumi can barely keep up.  She's tired, and her alibi has her second guessing herself.

Nine?  Did she wake up at nine?  Maybe she misread the clock.  Tomoe-chan couldn't have done it.  Right?  God.  The voices of the other students meld together as Megumi gets lost in her own thoughts...

Until the knife clatters to the floor.

Any shocked noise she makes at the reveal is likely drowned out by exclamations from those far more affected.  She swallows any words she could muster about the situation, thankful for Suguri asking the question that was on her mind as well.

Questions start buzzing in her mind, that only lead to more questions, but god it's hard to think with all the noise and stress in the room.  Mugen.  God, Mugen.  Ken played him all throughout the investigation and she just WATCHED.

She's almost able to spit a question out, but then...

"T-Tomoe-chan...?"

Her voice squeaks, barely audible over Jirou's angry speech.  She looks over to Tomoe's spot- Jirou's soon reoccupied podium the only thing between them.

"Why didn't... you wouldn't tell me how your vote went... you've just... been starving this whole time and you...?"

"You could have told me...!  We would have figured something out..." not really but it's fine.  "Ken-kun could have just... taken the fall... or, I would have helped you... or something..."

Oh my god this post is so long

"But... Suke-kun's right, I don't think anyone can blame you for it.  You... this wasn't some selfish crime of passion, or anything like that... you just wanted to save everyone...... and you did.  Thank you for lying to me."

Ok!  She finally regards the room, voice wavering.

"I don't think... th-they would have confessed if they were w-willing to have someone else take the bullet, right??  That's... that's like... way too sad.  Tomoe-chan deserves... t-to go out with honor... and..."

Somebody interrupt her.

[Angel of Miracle] 309 - What Fills You With Determination?

“Say WHAT?!” - Jun screamed on the phone - “Are you sure?! I can’t do that, my mom would kill me if she discover Daisuke is out of her range! He had a hard time to convince her to go visit our grandparents in America alone last year and to go on a trip this year!”

“I know, but he told me to say that…” - Taichi wasn’t happy with her screaming at him - “Because he’s in another world. Look, I know he does not want to make your parents and you worried, so this is why I’m planning to go there with the others.”

“I will go too.”

“No, you stay here and tell Miyako-chan’s sisters to please give us some help. We won’t take too much time. Also there’s Iori’s and Ichijouji’s families… I will call them later. Please whatever you think, do NOT try to dive into the Digital Gate alone. I know you’re older than us, but you need to hear me. I’m your senpai when it’s about digimon business.”

“Oh, senpai?” - she was being sarcastic now - “Right, Yagami-senpai. I will do what you want, but tell Kido-senpai I want a date with his oldest brother!”

“A-are you serious?!”

“Definitely~♥”

She hung up; at the Yagami household, Taichi was staring at the phone.

“That girl will end up doing something stupid” - he sighed.

01000100 01101001 01100111 01101001 01101101 01101111 01101110 01000001 01100100 01110110 01100101 01101110 01110100 01110101 01110010 01100101 00110000 00110010

“Did you tell them?” - Yamato asked Taichi, once all the group were reunited in Koushiro’s room again.

“Yes… Jou, Motomiya-senpai said she wants a date with your big brother.”

“W-what?!”

“That’s not the right time for that!” - Sora interrupted them, like an angry mother - “Our plan is go to the Digital World and try to find a gate to that other world, isn’t it?”

“You were telling me to trust in the kids” - Taichi frowned - “Why the sudden change? Are you… Worried?”

“It’s not like I don’t trust them. It’s that I want to keep the gate open for their return!”

“So are we going or not?!” - Mimi snorted - “We need to decide!”

“We need to give them support, and this is why I want to… To go” - Sora answered.

“Yes, she’s worrying like a true mom” - Taichi nodded his head, arms crossed, eyes closed, a smirk…

“T-Taichi!!” - she blushed.

“Maybe we should go” - said Mimi - “We can at least keep the Digital World safe until they come back.”

“Safe from what?” - Jou questioned her - “The Digital world is safer than before. Oikawa-san’s seal… It restored it, if I remember correctly.”

“Actually not” - Koushiro interrupted them - “Gennai-san said there’s still stuff to be done. The Black War Greymon issue caused a great damage to the Digital World. The Holy Stones won’t grow that fast. The time Ichijouji-kun was the Kaiser, he unbalanced the Digital World with innumerous Dark Towers. The Digital World is far away from being ‘safe’ from the evil.”

“So… Are we still needed?” - Jou said it with a quiet voice.

“Yes, we are.”

“... We’re going” - Taichi announced - “We already talked to everyone’s families, Koushiro and Jou--”

“-senpai, please.”

“-- And Jou will stay here keeping the gate opened. The rest will come with me, we’re opening this gate to this unknown world and save the kids.”

“Will you ever call me by ‘senpai’ at least ONCE?!”

01000100 01101001 01100111 01101001 01101101 01101111 01101110 01000001 01100100 01110110 01100101 01101110 01110100 01110101 01110010 01100101 00110000 00110010

“I have to go back,” - Diomedes announced - “There’s too much to be done, so please contact me once you’re ready, Warlock.”

“I understand…” - the little brother couldn’t keep him for a long time - “the kingdom needs you… And you’re the one responsible for the relationships of our allies.”

“Wow, he doesn’t look like Izumi-senpai at all” - Miyako whispered to Hikari and Takeru - “Izumi-senpai has social anxiety by what I noticed. Him being at the computer club was a big surprise to me, I’ve only talked to him by e-mail before.”

“Can we gather all the cores we got and focus on the missing ones?” - Dai asked - “Like, no one needs to stay with us if we have the cores. I think Helios and prince Diomedes have royal affairs to deal with.”

“True…” - the mage wondered - “I didn’t read anything about needing all cores to be activated. Before we get separated, we should do that.”

Everyone agreed, then they concentrated on their power, let themselves be guided by their aether and again the cores appeared in front of them. The only one who didn’t do that was Daisuke, because for an unknown reason he couldn’t do that.

Still… Daisuke felt upset with himself about it. Why? Why didn’t my core appear? Do I have a crest? And all the doubts invaded his thoughts. Warlock them muttered some strange words to the Chosen Children, but understandable for the others (and Daisuke too, but his case was he couldn’t translate it to the kids). After saying them, the cores went directly to Lance’s star pendant.

“Is it done?” - Diomedes asked - “I need to return now, I apologize.”

“We’re done for now” - Warlock said - “all the cores are with Lance now.”

“Including ours?” - Iori wondered.

“Not at all” - Takeru said - “Look at your hands. They’re still here…!”

“I think the enchantment just picked the ones from this world” - the wizard mused - “This never happened before, I mean having more cores than needed.”

“What do you mean?”

“Means you have more than needed, but it doesn’t matter… You’re unable to complete the requirements.”

A voice echoed in the room. Dai ran to the entrance of the castle, with the rest coming after him. There, they found…!!

“The Black Tailmon returned!” - Vee blinked.

“You will never finish it, Lance Duskstella. This world is fated to be engulfed by the darkness. No new life of yours will be able to save it. You and your outsider fellows will die here.”

“T-that’s a creepy thing to s-say…!” - Miyako was panicked.

“That’s strange…” - The mage bit his lips - “We never had a cat monster before.”

“What?!” - Dai and Vee were shocked - “So, she does not belong to the castle?!”

“No. And she must be…” - Warlock stared at the foe - “... Pandora.”

“EEEH?!”

“Hmph, I knew he would recognize me” - Black Tailmon smirked - “Not bad for Dragon Who’s great grandson.”

“She is the evil witch?!” - the 2-Top duo couldn’t believe that. Neither Lia.

“Rebecca… Aren’t you Rebecca?” - she was in denial.

“Tsk tsk, you should’ve realized that all was a lie. I was keeping an eye on you… Because I saw a shard of your brother in this world, wandering and waiting for something. I knew he was about to come back someday. Humans are like monsters, they reborn. But differently from the monsters, they become differently from the past life.”

“If you’re the evil witch, I gonna…” - Daisuke clenched his fists - “defeat you!!”

“What? You think you have the power to beat me?” - she laughed next - “You never learned enough spells to do that. You even have the requirements for Dragon Who’s sealing spell. What will you do? Use your outsider friends and their monsters to fight me? I’m invincible!”

“You have no idea how strong we are” - Hikari shouted - “Daisuke-kun and I were willing to save this world, and we all here want it.”

“I agree with Hikari-san” - Ken added - “We are strong together, we’re going to beat you!”

“I see… You must be the ones from the other world to have the same cores from those people. I will give you a warning: Lance Duskstella was a bad person, he is. And he will be your ruin.”

“QUIT LYING!” - Takeru shouted - “We heard Lance-san’s story, and Daisuke-kun did a lot of good things. Don’t try to convince us he’s not a good person, or that he never had redemption!”

“Hmph, such brats…!” - Pandora changed her form to a woman and she released a wave against them. A black mist. Poisonous clouds.

Suddenly… the Chosen Children and Pandora had disappeared.

01000100 01101001 01100111 01101001 01101101 01101111 01101110 01000001 01100100 01110110 01100101 01101110 01110100 01110101 01110010 01100101 00110000 00110010

“Everyone!!” - Daisuke called them - “Are you okay??”

“... Why are we still here?” - Miyako appeared behind him, her eyes darker than before - “If is Lance-san’s fault, why are we doing it? Daisuke can’t do anything by himself??”

“M-Miyako, that’s not true! Well not entirely…!!”

“Daisuke-san always gives us headaches.” - Same goes to Iori’s - “Now we’re trapped here.”

“H-Hey… I’m not--”

“Why does make Daisuke-kun the leader anyway?” – and Takeru’s - “He has no skills to lead a team. All he does is to boss around, to yell at me, to cause troubles…”

“B-But I thought--”

“Daisuke never was a tough rival” - Ken’s eyes were dark, but he also smirked - “He was nothing but an insect. He only beat me because he had luck, if he had used his skills he should’ve been my slave.”

“K-Ken-- I…!!”

“If he hadn’t said my name to Lia-san,” - Hikari’s eyes were as well - “I could’ve been far away from this stupid world! It’s all his fault!”

“It is… my fault?”

“See? Even your ‘friends’ think that about you” - Pandora was right in front him - “They were lying to you ALL THE TIME. They didn’t stay because of you, but because you obliged them to!”

“... No.”

V-mon, Hawkmon, Armadimon, Patamon,Tailmon and Wormmon appeared and tried to attack the witch, but they had been repelled by her. They fell in front the goggle boy.

“It doesn’t matter what they say, Daisuke!” - Tailmon said - “They’re not saying the truth!” “Takeru wouldn’t never say that!” - Patamon added. “Neither Kenchan!” - Wormmon gave him a serious gaze

“Miyako-san admires your bravery and loyalty, Daisuke-san.” - Hawkmon confessed - “That’s all she told me once” “Iori likes you, besides him being a little strict. But he surely likes you and was missing your lead, dagya.”

“Daisuke!” - V-mon grabbed the boy’s hand - “Even if we get corrupted… Even if we say lies to you… You know the truth! You truly know we’re here because we wanted, because we want to help! And Because you’re our friend before our group’s leader!”

“They’re lying!”

“THIS IS NOT A LIE!” – the digimon shouted and they tried to hit her again.

“... They wanted to stay because of me, they wanted to help because of me…!!”

Daisuke’s eyes were shining in red crimson now. He summoned the glaive and dashed against Pandora. The digimon got repelled again, but they keep trying.

“They wanted… To save this world because of me!!”

He slashed her, but a forcefield was protecting the witch.

“THERE’S NO WAY TO CONVINCE ME THEY DO NOT LIKE ME!!”

“Give up, Daisuke” - Ken said. “You’re done for” - Miyako chirped. “It’s over” - Hikari laughed. “Accept it, idiot” - Iori mocked him. “You’re a sore loser” - Takeru smirked.

“GUYS… OPEN YOUR EYES!” - Daisuke shouted - “YOU’VE BEEN FORCED TO SAY THOSE!! SHE’S MESSING WITH YOUR HEADS!! FIGHT IT!!”

“Kenchan, open your eyes!” “Miyako-san, fight it please!” “Hikari… You’re stronger than that witch, you know that!” “Iori!! Please stop it, dagya!” “Takeruu, don’t let her win!!”

“She won’t win because we’re united!!” - Vee roared - “Right, guys?!” “YEAH!”

“I’m impressed… Those monsters are stronger than my master’s power.”

“Your master?” - V-mon frowned - “Sorcerymon said the same… D-Daisuke, she’s not the real enemy! She might be corrupted just like everyone else…!!”

“Corrupted or not, I won’t allow her play with my friends!! Or with the people of this world…!” - He kept slashing the barrier - “At least we need to purify her just like Iori did with Sorcerymon!! But without Iori… We can’t do that���!”

“Don’t say we can’t! Where’s your courage? You were determined to save this world, you can’t give up now…!!”

“I am… I am determined and I will fight until I win! Because that’s what my heart tells me to do!!”

A explosion of light threw Pandora away from them, and dissolved the mist. Little by little, the Chosen Children recovered their light. Confused, they just glanced at Daisuke and him consumed by a crimson aura. They also were “back” to Warlock’s garden.

“Is that…!!” - Lia gasped, once she saw them all. “The Core of Determination…” - Warlock commented - “... Has finally awakened.”

Hitorie nexUs Tour 2018 comment translations

source: https://twitter.com/hitorieJP/status/1001070624226263040 A new two-man tour with Hitorie has begun! With, androp, go!go!vanillas, FIVE NEW OLD, a flood of circle, Frederic, Buzz Mothers, Village Man's Store, THE ORAL CIGARETTES, ... there's much curating and much music curing to be had, If you're interested in any of those bands' relationships with Hitorie members, please read their comments to each other below! thank you abababa, 

Osaka Umeda CLUB QUATTRO w/ androp One day, the bassist, Mae-kun, messaged me asking “Where do you often go to get pizza?”, and that gave me the courage to invite him to a crossover.

Back in the year 2011, androp’s music probably gave me strength, for me to become Hitorie, I admired them to become the person I am today,

And I’ve become a fan again, in seeing their determination to perform with us.

-ygarshy (Hitorie)

When did I first meet igarashi-kun anyway… I can’t even remember exactly but, I think our auras just clicked or something.

At some point he just became a good friend.

Personally there’s not many other musicians I can send private messages to, so I’m really happy that one of my few friends, igarashi-kun, invited me.

I look forward to what kind of show him and Hitorie will give. 

-Maeda Kyousuke (androp)

Tokyo Mynavi BLITZ Akasaka w/ go!go!vanillas The first time I ever talked to Maki-kun was during a new year’s party last year I think.

I have a vivid memory about how happy I was that there’s no difference between the music he performs and his person himself.

I was having such fun that I just drank until I ended up knocked out asleep but… 

I had gone out drinking with him again, just the two of us, to ask him to join us for this performance, but,

We ended up talking to each other about music for a straight four hours and a half. 

Just as I thought, from his attitude to his core, he was the epitome of man.

I felt it from the first time I listened to him, the lucidity of his voice, how I can almost smell the earth and it’s charm, and then his physical form which strongly reinforces all of that. Even though our means are differed, the goals that we aim for seem to be something similar, I feel.

They’re an amazing band. Already I want to see what they’re capable of.

-wowaka (Hitorie)

When I drank with wowaka-san and the more and more we talked, 

I started to see Hitorie’s music from the depths out, and I came to love it.

They’re so rock. Yeah.

From their tasteful performances to their rough humanness, Hitorie are the like the spitting image of Dio from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

Let us both put on shows that surpass humanity. 

Please join us!

-Maki Tatusya (go!go!vanillas)

Gunma, Takasaki club FLEEZ w/ FIVE NEW OLD I played a gig with HIROSHI-kun (Vo.) at a convention once, 

and that was when I first saw the appeal in his beautiful voice,

I hope we can have a battle of the bands that’s like a match of mixed martial arts. 

They’re a band that I’ve personally been listening to for 2 years,

So to have a joint concert with FIVE NEW OLD makes me feel emotional.

I can’t wait to bask my body in their pop music.

-Yumao (Hitorie)

Yumao-kun and I had met for a gig session at Shimokitazawa,

and as we played music together, we immediately came to understand a lot about each other.

From there did this crossover take form.

As one musician there’s no other person I’d be happier to be invited by.

Even if the sounds we release are different, our love for music is the same.

I’ll show off the sounds of FIVE NEW OLD as best as I can!

-HIROSHI (FIVE NEW OLD)

Miyagi, Sendai darwin w/ a flood of circle He’s my senior and my friend, Kazutaka-san, I always have many chances to meet him, so when we meet we chat a lot,. 

As long as we have a short amount of time to talk we’ll always just be sharing new information on drums and music.

So if we have this close of a relationship

then it’s about time I challenge him to a serious match, 

Or such was my thought process, when after we had drank through the night, right before the south ticket gate of JR Shinjuku Station was where I invited him.

I’m sincerely happy to be able to do a joint concert with them again.

-Yumao (Hitorie)

I thankfully accept this challenge.

Yumao and I share the same principles, between the things we like to the things we’re moved by,

He’s a valuable person to me but,

As a performer, his output and his means are extremely different from mine. 

Yet maybe that’s just the reason why, he’s someone who can I seriously respect, to the point of delight do we have such a special relationship.

I think that’s reflective of the band, Hitorie, and us, a flood of circle, our relationship as well.

I want to fight this special opponent with all my strength and more.

Their last tour final at EX THEATER was spectacular.

So I look forward to this.

-Watanabe Kazutaka (a flood of circle)

Niigata LOTS w/ Frederic I think it’s been about 3 years since we first met and started talking to each other…

Except about 6 years ago, I coincidentally found “The Ghost on the Pass” on Youtube, 

Ever since then, I’ve always been a fan of theirs. A while after that, “oddloop” was released and I had listened to it literally immediately but, the happiness and the frustration I felt then was beyond belief, really.

I vividly remember how the other members and staff of Hitorie were going around the studio hyping over how sick of a song it was.

Then after that was when we came into contact and started talking.

I’ve shared a drink with Kooji-kun in a hotel room we were staying at while touring, I’ve gone to the aquarium early in the new year with Ken-chan. 

The personalities of these people are the appeal of Frederic. I like music of which I can see their faces. 

Their music and their will are super high-dimensional, like they’re firmly holding it all in their hand.

They’re such a strong band.

I’ve been hearing that their concerts are amazing these days, so us too have to start training.

-wowaka (Hitorie)

‘A two-man show with Hitorie’, I’m so honored. 

Back in our indies era, before I moved up to Tokyo, 

when I was riding the night bus back down to Osaka alone, the music that fired up my fighting spirit was Hitorie’s.

This is a two-man with Hitorie, the band who brings a new wave, who pushed me forward, who influenced me like hell. This is crazy.

I’m going to enjoy this more than anyone.

-Mihara Kenji (Frederic)

Aichi Nagoya JAMMIN’  w/ Buzz Mothers May I have your attention everyone. Buzz Mothers have joined nexUs.

They were the ones who invited us to take apart in their joint concert projects in the past,

and last December we had discussed how “We should do continue to do this once a year~”.

But I feel bad making them wait until winter so, 

This time I thought maybe I should be the one who starts our third fight. 

First was Tokyo then was Osaka, and now it’s the town where my and Buzz Mothers relationship all began: Nagoya. So, the third times the charm huh.

It’s about time we settled this eh Ryou-chan.

That said, I’m not sure why I have such belligerence for these guys but 

Buzz Mothers are a band that strangely make me feel this way.

-Shinoda (Hitorie)

The first time I went to a love-hotel was when I was a high-schooler.

I was the one who had asked my partner back then to go,

Still in our school uniforms, I held her hand as we went. When I think about it now it was a pretty radical sight,

The lady at the front dest, she admitted us a room like it was nothing, surely she had something wrong with her morals.

The second time we went to a love-hotel, of course again, I was the one who asked.

We were both wearing our casual clothes. I was wearing a Nirvana T-shirt, and she in a lovely one-piece dress.

Only after many dates from then,  for the first time, with an embarrassed look on her face did she ask me, “Why don’t we go somewhere where we can be alone?”

I felt like I actually lost my virginity for the first time that day.

When Hitorie invited me to join them for a concert, I just sort of remembered that time.

This is the first time I’ve ever happily accepted a fight.

The third times the charm, you say? Don’t you mean everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time eh, poor Shinoda?

I look forward to this.

-Yamada Ryouichi (Buzz Mothers)

Hokkaido Sapporo DUCE  w/ Village Man's Store May I have your attention everyone. Welcome, Village Man's Store.

“When are you going to do a joint concert with Village? Why haven’t you done one with Village? Where are Village?” I’ve heard all of your voices but,

But please! I’m the one who wanted to do this the most y’know!!

Village and I have known each other for a long time, ever since we both had booths at Nagoya and were both swindled out of our high sales quota by the most fishy event organizer,

It’s been 10 years, more, since then,,, You gotta be kidding,,, It’s been so long,,,.

Then I joined Hitorie, and even after I left Nagoya these guys continued to overcome various trials,

They haven’t thrown away their hot sweaty looking bright red suits,

And they’re even, they’ve even grown even more hot and sweaty.

I finally get to face these guys head-on, I honestly feel so happy about this.

We don’t get to do it in Nagoya but.

Shinoda (Hitorie)

Hitorie, when I met Shinoda-san I was in my teenage years.

Whenever I would hang out at a certain music club, for concerts I didn’t really understand the points of, put together by a certain crooked event organizer,, for some reason Shinoda-san would always be there. Even though I was young and still faintly smelled something fishy, I couldn’t help but enjoy those concerts. 

Well, because I got to see Dr. Right (the old band Shinoda-san used to be in). 

Thinking about it now, as the shitty country brat I was, for me Shinoda-san was the first “guitar hero” I ever met in my life.

The guy who was ridiculously skilled at guitar even since then, Shinoda-san, the Shinoda who would always praise other people like crazy, the Shinoda who somehow 100% of the time would always perform at the same shows we would, the Shinoda who would always be kicking the other performers or be the one getting kicked around on stage, the Shinoda who would at a 60% chance have sound issues mid-show, or break his guitar mid-show, for one of my support members to lend him their guitar only for him to just break that one too, the Shinoda who looks like an unhealthy Dave Grohl, the Shinoda who used to be the butt of nonsensical rumors about how the air conditioner in his room made air that smelled like shit, the Shinoda who performed a street show on Christmas and then somehow was never able to get home… No matter how you look at him he’s a guitar hero.

If Shinoda-san was in a part of the music industry that never let him see the light of day, I probably would have stopped playing music.

I’m always behind Shinoda-san’s back chasing him, buying his CDs,

I’ve completely turned into a Hitorie fan, and now my wish of a joint concert is finally coming true. 

It’s even a two-man show, it’s the day of my dreams. I’m glad I’ve continued to play music.

-Mizuno Gui (Village Man's Store)

Fukuoka DRUM LOGOS  w/ THE ORAL CIGARETTES To have another crossover with THE ORAL CIGARETTES, 

That has always been one of the biggest motivations for me to continue on with Hitorie. 

3 years ago,

You summoned us to your “Kuchibiru Taiban TOUR 2015 ~ORAL’s indebted repayment and mixed martial arts selfish greedy volume~”. This time we summon you.

Thanks for your consent. I love you on and off the stage.

-ygarshy (Hitorie)

We respect Hitorie’s music so much, for that reason we want to continue fighting with them forever.

This joint concert is based on those emotions alone!

There’s definitely things we’ve both forgotten, or never noticed about each other,

So we’d be happy if this could be a concert of discovery, to aim for higher and higher places.

We look forward to working with everyone!

THE ORAL CIGARETTES

Red Strings of Fate – Part 2/6

Part 1;

Prompt: Change

Summary: Soulmates are tied by red strings. You can cut yours if you want to, then you’ll be reassigned to someone else, someone who’s perhaps- better. But beware; If you cut it three times, you will end up alone for the rest of your life.

Rating: T for now, will be mild M in later chapter

Words: 1381

Notes: Thanks for the likes and reblogs on Part 1, really appreciate them *hugs* by the way, I think I will post the revised version on my AO3 because I usually need more than a day to edit hahaha ^^; Sorry for my slow writing problem. Enjoy and let me know what you think! :)

When Kaneki Ken first saw Kirishima Touka- his second soulmate, he was being nonchalant about it.

After all, he was almost eaten by his first soulmate- on their first date.

Not to mention he got turned into a half-ghoul also because of his so-called soulmate.

So when the string reappeared around his pinky finger a few days later, when he was still in utter shock and struggling to adjust to the changes on his ghoul body, he didn’t even notice.

And when he finally noted the string’s existence, he didn’t even bat an eye at it.

Even until three weeks later, when he discovered that his second string was tied to a rather cute girl, he decided not to take any drastic action.

So he just smiled politely, hoping she would understand that he was acknowledging her, but didn’t want to take their relationship further yet.

 Until she bluntly asked whether they should cut it off.

 No, he couldn’t risk it.

So he had to ask for a date. Just one date, to see if it was worthy to be cut off.

Else, he would end up with his third string. Which was still a huge risk considering his lack of experience with girls, because his third soulmate might cut it off too due to his boring personality, who knows?

Apparently, he had to thank his first soulmate, as the result of him becoming a half ghoul was what prevented Touka from cutting off their string.

Because she was planning to cut it if he were a human.

In the four months time they spent working at Anteiku, he started to get to know his soulmate better.

He took his sweet time to observe her, and realized what a hardworking student she was, how she valued Yoriko as her best friend as she ate the meal that was cooked for her even though they weakened her body, and how she was very attentive to Hinami and him and the rest of the Anteiku members. Beneath the cold and brash attitudes, she was actually very kind.

 In those four months, he had developed some desires within him.

The desire to become stronger, to have the strength to protect everyone around him.

The desire to protect his soulmate, whom he was scared if she died somewhere without him knowing.

Because she always took things into action more than he did, and he was always looking at her back. He felt useless. He wanted to be helpful too.

 When she came to Aogiri just to rescue him, fighting all by herself, beaten up and getting injured, he couldn’t help but feel extremely guilty.

She was beaten up, because of him.

She was in pain, because of him.

She was fighting with her brother, because of him.

All because of him.

 He determined to keep her away from him. For all he could give her was pain, and not a single happiness.

She deserved a normal life. She deserved a better guy. And most importantly, she deserved to live.

He couldn’t assure all of these if they were together.

For he had chosen a dangerous path in his life, and it would only endanger her- his soulmate, more.

 Which is why, he decided to cut the string.

It ended so soon before it even started.

She wasn’t just angry with him. Upset, disappointed, sad- every emotion bottled up, swirling like a whirlpool inside her.

After he escaped from Aogiri, he had the option to return to Anteiku, but he didn’t.

Instead, he left.

Forming his own group and leaving her- his soulmate, behind.

After six months of not meeting each other, with only a birthday present she received from him through Yoriko, he asked her to meet him at the bridge nearby Anteiku.

His snow white hair remained the same as six months ago when he decided to leave her. However, his expression changed drastically. Long gone the politeness on his features. Long gone the cute blushes on his cheeks when he was caught staring at her. Long gone the innocence on his face, it was replaced by a sorrowful look, anyone who saw him would know that he had suffered enough in his life.

Before they could even begin a proper conversation, her hand moved by itself.

She punched him.

Anger. Sadness. Frustration. Longing. All the emotion built up within her was channelized to him through her hard strikes.

Kaneki just stood still, accepting her punches as he knew the outcome of their reunion would bring her more pain than the beatings he received.

“Why? Why did you leave me?” She asked as tears brimming in her eyes. Without thinking, she hugged him. Crying her heart out on his chest.

She missed him. So badly. There wasn’t a day where she didn’t stare at the red string on her pinky finger and cried silently. Seeing the string led to an invisible path tortured her to the core, knowing that he was alive somewhere, but his exact location was unknown to her.

 But it was even more painful when she realized that he didn’t hug her back, or did anything to calm her.

 She pulled away, her eyes searching his grey ones.

“Kaneki?” She spoke so slowly, barely above a whisper.

“Touka-chan… I think, we should cut the string.” He plainly stated, it sounded cold to her ears as his face was showing no emotion at all. At all.

“What?” Were her ears playing tricks on her? “Did you realize what you were saying?”

“I don’t deserve you.” He added.

“W-w-what do you mean?” She stuttered.

“You deserve to be happy, Touka-chan.” He looked away from her teary eyes, unable to face her. “I can’t give you happiness.”

“Who gives you the right to decide that?” She exclaimed, her breath became noticeably shaky, she realized.

“It’s dangerous if you stayed with me.”

“But it’s not dangerous for Hinami? Are you fucking kidding me?!”

He remained speechless as he just stared at her, his jaw clenched tightly.

“Kaneki, if you do this, we-“

“I know.” His voice was raspy, croaky, his eyes staring deep into hers, filled with cold determination.

The moment he said it, the moment she looked into his eyes, she realized how serious he was. He didn’t ask her to come here asking for permission, he came here to inform her, because the string could only be cut in presence of both parties.

“I see. So I meant nothing to you.” her head hung low, tears threatening to fall again but she held it back. Showing tears would make her look more stupid, and she couldn’t afford that. Not in front of her soulmate who wanted to end their relationship.

She almost laughed to herself. What relationship? We didn’t even have a proper date.

 “I’m sorry.” He whispered as he took out a pair of scissors from his sling bag and placed his fingers into position.

She would have stopped him if she wasn’t in utter shock witnessing her very own soulmate cutting their string into two, severing their only connection with each other.

Helplessly, she watched in disbelief as the ribbon started to untie itself from her and his pinkies, falling slowly but disappeared before it even reached the ground, leaving their fingers bare.

 No more string connecting them together.

No more any chance of them ending up together.

No more reasons needed for her to keep on waiting for him.

For this action separated them eternally.

 “Goodbye, Touka-chan.”

Arima Kishou stared at the updated document in front of him, his expression changed slightly, though he was quick to conceal it.

Kaneki Ken. 19 years old. xx.

“Too bad, he’s cute.” A woman blurted out. “What are you going to do with him?”

“It’s none of your business, Eto.”

“Of course it’s my business. Don’t forget your place, Kishou.” She pulled his tie towards her, staring hard into his seemingly cold eyes behind the rectangle glasses. She held a more powerful position than him, so he had no choice but to follow her orders.

But he could always break the rules…

“I’ll take care of him.”

“Good.” She released her hold on his tie, her eyes shooting a warning glare at him. “Do your job properly this time, Kishou.”

Engeki Haikyuu: Summer of Evolution - Notes

All the notes I took after watching the Summer of Evolution stage. Its not exactly in chronological order since I would randomly note things down even after I went home and slept haha. Hopefully you can enjoy imagining the scenes before the DVD/Blurays come out!

Sorry if some of it makes literally no sense.

  The show starts with Takeda sensei coming out the front and saying that this is a school play, and us “the students” shouldn't have mobile phones on, not to make too much noise, and lastly to enjoy ourselves.

Starts with hamlet: The guards are Nishinoya and Tanaka, Suga is king/hamlets uncle,kiyoko is queen, Hinata and Yachi are villagers, Asahi is a Horse, Tsukki is Hamlet and Yamaguchi is Horatio. Someone was the spirit of the dead king but I couldn’t recognise them (I think it was Daichi)

Kageyama comes out in a moon costume to say “The next day”

Tanaka starts chasing kiyoko around and the stage is literally thrown into chaos, with the stage props falling and everyone is all over the place. Hinata runs up to Suga and takes his crow, exclaiming that he wants to play the role of the king.

Musical like intro with lots of projections and dancing as always.

Remixed nekoma theme

Tsukki touching KAGS so many times

Kageyama called Tsukki Kuso megane

When kiyoko comes into the classroom she grabs Hinata by the wrist. Hinata looks at his wrist like he's been touched by a goddess (he has).

During study with yachi the and they mention nekoma (kenma and yaku) who are in the bg as extra classmates (yaku strikes a pose as KAGS mentions "nekoma libero" and kenma drops cap when Hinata mentioned him)

"Becuase kechishima won't help us" Yams: don't be so loud tsukki can hear you!

W/YACHI all of karasuno go to store and all have icypoles, Tsukishima slapping KAGS in the face with his icy pole

Talks about tests, Kageyama faints. Yams: KAGEYAMAS NOT BREATHING!!! tsukki sticks the aed patches on Kageyama’s face

Studying for tests and NOYA wearing 3 t-shirts layered on one another, takes them off one by one.

"Are you going to play shirtless/naked" tanaka pulls TSUKKIS pants down

While team lift for lev

Whole team nekoma choreography involved the boys linking arms and moving in a wave-like motion (like levs whip like arm), before Lev spikes.

Both Car scene w/ saeko and the camp practice matches are shown at the same time. 

Fight scene takes place at the camp

Raining the whole time when Hinata starts fighting Kageyama.

Bokuto waving Saruki(?) keeps pulling down his hand

Raining, fukurodani with umbrellas and Bokuto splashes super hard and wets his ass. Akashi saying "bokuto-San" super sternly and bokuto looks up, smiles and runs over says "Akaashi!!!"

Lots of live camera shots projected onto the screen, lots of new props!

Takeda sensei does a very deep speech about Hamlet’s to be or not to be monologue. Should we continue to move or stay, and exist as we are.

NOYA and tanaka in the big arm wrestling and being cute on the stairs.

Suga is there when Hinata and Kageyama fight.

Bicycles on the stage?? SO MANY BICYCLES.

Ken-Chan holding hiroki as he was sliding down and looking into his eyes.

Hiroki, Ennoshita and tanaka in bottle costumes. When Kageyama practices the stopping toss. THIS IS CUTE AS HECK.

Kenma and 2 other casts as the kids w/ coach ukai, one of them keep screaming and being stupid and Ukai tells them "your personality is too strong (for a background character)"

Running in circles and greasing off Hinata

All the kids are taller than Hinata so its kinda hilarious.

Brazil video: all the nekoma boys come out and each one does a specific dance sequence.

Transition between TSUKKI/akiteru scene and coach ukais house: Kageyama comes out in moon costume again.

When Hinata realises who Coach Ukai is, 3 people dressed in black ponchos act as crows and come out and circle and snap at Hinata.

Ukai switching between the two coaches (as Kenshin and as old gradpa ukai) (towel on head) because the scenes transition too quickly for him to change his wig.

Fujurodani music is kinda trumpety , lively tune (Bollywood ish?)

Fukurodani has signature wing pose

KURODAI HANDSHAKE, bokuto joins in. Aggressive forehead touching.

Ennoshita asks if saeko can help him look up more about TSUKKIS brother. All the thirdyears stop the iPad, all stare at him, asks "what's your relationship with Saeko ???"

Akiteru comes to the camp.

Movable stair prop and Tsukki runs on them as the stairs spin, going round and round, Tsukki running desperately and the stairs just seem to go on forever.

Yams: "Bare kirai hazu nai" (Theres no way Tsukki would hate volleyball) NOTE: this is different to the anime/manga where Yams says “I don’t think Tsukki hates volleyball”. the implications are a little bit different, I’m surprised they changed the line.

Yams to tsukki: "You won't quit volleyball will you?l"

the whole cast surrounding tsukki and circling him, everyone shouting, tsukki is confused (red blue flashing lights)

Kuro teaches tsukki kill block, usually kuroo is a shadow in the consequent parts of match (tsukki mimicking kuroo).

Kill block, tsukki unsheaths sword, slashing

Part where everyone is waving their arms in the air. Yams walks over to TSUKKIS and tsukki quickly pulls them down to stop yams. Tanaka and NOYA come over and grab TSUKKIS arms to make him wave.

When noya try's to do his toss, runs all the way down the stairs and into the audience.

"It's like Hinata is he king!" (He demands the toss!)

Kenta with cape and crown, sings the dada-da-da-da! Intro music himself. Starts saying all of Kageyamas lines as well before getting pushed off stage by kags

Barbecue scene everyone picking on kenma, who gets a phone call and Suga takes it and picks up, kenma snatches the phone back.

Tanaka and NOYA chasing the two fujurodani boys for ages to keep them away from kiyoko

Tanaka literally stabs tsukki in the trorat with a sausage.

Fireworks at the end (actual fireworks? ) + sounds and lighting.

Cool sliding prop parts!!!

First time Kage-chan has performed in Miyagi. Bows and says “I’m in your care” to the stage.

Kenta: “Each prefecture had their own sort of aura. From Miyagi it's a very kind one.”

Kenta advertises for the shiratorizawa movie Which Kage-chan was supposed to say. BUT FORGOT.

Kenta went to watch it with two nekoma boys when he got to sendai.

Kenta: I went to see the Shiratorizawa movie with two of the nekoma boys. Kage: //points to self with a  "what about me???" Look. Kenta: you weren't awake. Kage : I was awake at 7!!! Kenta: your rely was too late!! You replied at 12, the movie was at 12:15!! You wouldn't make it!

May I request a scenario (or hcs if you don't feel comfortable with that) with Tendou, Kyoutani, and Aone where their s/o is afraid of heights and has to go to the top floor of a skyscraper?? And I don't mean slightly frightened, I mean freeze up kinda scared. Like panic attack, "Oh god I can't do this", kinda scared.

Hi dear! Here I am, finally! I hope you enjoy our dorky guys!

Kyoutani, Tendou, Aone xReader who is scared of heights

Kyoutani Kentarou

To think that Kyoutani had been so proud for his idea.

I mean, a date on the Tokyo Tower should have beensomething special and exciting, no? He had thought it wouldhave made you happy.

And now, from out of nowhere, you weretrembling and shaking curled on the ground, refusing the leavethe elevator.

“O-Oi SO!” he called you, rushing to your side.

He had noticed you were a bitnervous all morning, but hehad mistaken it for excitement. In a second, when the doors of the elevator had opened,Kyotani had walked out just to hear a muffled scream and, lookingback, finding you like that on the floor.

His heart had stopped.

“What’s wrong?” he asked you grabbing your shoulders.You were breathing heavily and shaking like a leaf.

Yet you tightened your lips and shook your head. You knewhow much Kyoutani had thought about that day and didn’t want it to ruin it. Youcould endure it, for him.

“SO,” he called you again, trying to keep his voicelow to not startle you, “I’m getting worried, please tell me what’s wrong…” headmitted in a growl.

You felt tears filling your eyes, but still refused toanswer.

“’m fine…” you managed to stutter, unconvincingly.

He groaned. Why you were being that stubborn if it wasclear you weren’t okay at all?

“Excuse me.” an old lady tapped Kyoutani’s shoulderand he turned with a murderous glare; however the lady was smiling and she talkedbefore he could tell her to fuck off, “I believe your girlfriend is having a panicattack. Is she afraid of heights?” she gently asked.

Kyoutani opened his mouth, then closed it and lookedat you shocked.

“You’re fucking afraid of heights?” he roared incredulous.

That made you crumble and you started crying.

“It’s not my fault…I-I c-can’t t-take it…” you sobbed,“I’m so sorry K-Ken…”

Seeing your tears, Kyoutani immediately calmed down.He hated seeing you crying and wasn’t good at handling it, but he knew screamingat you wasn’t going to make you feel better.

“I know it’s not your fault, it’s just- Argh!” heexploded scratching his head out of frustration. “Okay, first: damn breathe. Second,I’m taking you away, so don’t worry.”

You opened your mouth and tried to protest but he glaredand covered it with his hand.

“If you start saying shit like that you have ruinedthe date or that you want to endure it, I’m going to get mad for real, clear? AndI said to breathe.” He shut you up and you nodded, still feeling guilty but abit reassured by his blunt words.

As he told you, you inhaled deeply and then exhaled.Kyoutani nodded satisfied that you were trying, then swiftly wrapped his armsaround your waist and under your legs. He picked you up bridal style and you clungto his shirt; he talked to the guide and asked him to let you go down, he promptlyagreed seeing how pale and scared you were.

“We’re going down and eat ice-cream, maybe we canwatch a movie,” he grunted when you two were alone in the elevator.

You hummed, burying your face against his neck.

“Oi So,” Kyoutani exhaled after few minutes, relaxingagainst the wall.

“Y-yes?”

“Next time, tell me if you’re scared or notcomfortable with something. I’m not getting mad for something like that. Youreally worried me.” He sharply told you in a tired growl and you blinked thetears away.

“Yes, I’m sorry,” you apologized sheepishly, leaving akiss on his skin.

He showed a faint smile back, finally relaxing, andkissed you properly.

Tendou Satori

You really had thought you could it. Come on, it hadpassed some time from the last time you went on a skyscraper, right? Some yearsprobably. It couldn’t be as hard and scary as you remembered, no?

Yes, in the end it could. Damned that stupid schooltrip and your foolish courage.

You were just arrived on the last floor and, just byseeing the view from the enormous window walls at the end of the room, you feltnauseous. Obviously, everybody was walking in that direction.

“The landscape is beautiful!” Oh yeah, but weren’tpostcards better?

“Uhm, SO-chan?” Tendou stopped walking and moved infront of you, distracting you from the growing fear inside your chest, “Are youokay?” he asked leaning a few centimeters from your face and tilting his head.

“A-ah y-yes!” you blatantly lied to his inquisitive eyes,“W-why?”

He raised your linked hands, with an innocent smile.

“Because you’re sweating like crazy and squeezing my hand hard enough to break some of my fingers.”

You paled and then blushed in a fraction of second.

“I-I’m sorry! Oh God, That’s so disgusting and I-” youtried to let go of his hand, but he didn’t let you to. Instead, he grabbed yourchin and lifted it.

“Are you afraid of heights?” he bluntly asked and youwidened your eyes, then groaned.

“How did you know?” you whispered ashamed, trying toavert your gaze.

He chuckled and gave you a kiss on the forehead.

“Guess Monster!” he hummed, before dragging you away.

“Hey, where are we going?” you asked chasing afterhim, “Everybody is going to the windows to see the landscap-”

“But you’re scared right?” he interrupted you, shrugging,“I can have postcards, no need to let you have a panic attack.”

You blushed and felt waves of gratitude for yourboyfriend.

Shen you reached the wall furthest from the windows,he stopped and sat down, you copied him. Tendou rested his head against yourshoulder, while drawing circles with the thumb on the back of your hand.

“How do you feel?” he asked quietly, “Don’t lie, yousuck at it.”

You giggled.

“Scared and my heart is beating like crazy,” youadmitted shaking your head, “But better. Thank you for…everything.”

Tendou gave you a fond glance and smiled giddily.

“A pleasure!” he chirped nuzzling against your neck.

“You know, you can my hand let go now. It’s d-”

“It’s not disgusting.” He promptly interrupted you,but seeing your raised eyebrow, he corrected himself, “Okay, maybe it’s a bitgross but I can endure it.” He protested, furrowing his brows, and you rolledyour eyes.

“Do as you want,” you surrendered, knowing perfectly thatonly his presence and his hand were keeping you from having a break down.

“As always,” he laughed with a wink.

Aone Takanobu

“Aone I lied!” you screeched suddenly, freezing on thespot.

You two were going to a famous shop on the last floorof a skyscraper when you realized that you couldn’t do it. You had thought yourfear could have gotten better through years and…no. It had been a horribleidea. You were already feeling your breaths becoming shorter and cold sweatcovering your skin. Your eyes were fixed on the sky you saw from the glasswall.

Terrifying.

Your giant stopped too and confused, looked at you,who were clinging at his arm like it was an anchor.

“I’m scared of heights…” you whispered with eyes asbig as plates.

Aone blinked as your words sunk in and then panicked. Helooked around, realizing that there wasn’t a place from where you couldn’t seeoutside and frowned. He knew were going to have a panic attack and he had tostop it!

“I-I’m okay,” you tried to calm him down, “Can we justgo d-” you didn’t even finished speaking that he nodded promptly and grabbedyour waist.

Oh no.

He raised you up, making you screech, and put you tosit on his left shoulder.

“A-Aone!” you called him terrified, grabbing instinctivelyhis head.

“Don’t worry, I’ll bring you down…” he replied withoutletting you speak and marching toward the nearest elevator, only wishing tomake you feel safe as soon as possible.

“Aone this is worst!” you screamed panicking.

He finally stopped and realization hit him.

Yes, putting a girl scared of heights on his shouldersurely wasn’t a good idea.

He immediately put you down. You fell on your knees,with a sigh of relief and put a hand on your beating heart. What a roller-coaster.

Aone crouched in front of you, his face contorted withguilty and shame.

“I’m sorry,” he apologized remorsefully, “I panicked.”

You let out a soft giggles and patted his head.

“Yeah me too, don’t worry I’m going to be okay now.”

He searched for signs of anger or fear on your face,but he saw you were only nervous and a bit amused by his antics. So, he made alittle smile and stretched out his hand.

“We can walk down slowly…” he offered in a murmur andyou nodded relieved.

“It would be perfect,” you reassured him, taking hishand with a smile.

He helped you standing up and then escorted you down,never letting you go.

H: Don’t say such an obvious thing (Chit-chat) ↓ Daisute started ♡ W: What did you throw over here H: My love End

Topic: Cat, Underground train, Split personality Chantomo is waiting for the train

W: Um, have you seen my cat!? It ran away... H: This is the underground train!? W: Where did my Mi-channnnn go to, please search for it together with me! (Chit-chat) H: Watch out (falls off stage) Excuse me, please help me up!! W: Ahaha that was so funny H: At that moment, something in me exploded (went back on stage) (Chit-chat) H: Eh, isn’t that Mi-chan!? W: Eh! Mi-chan, Mi-channnnnn! (It looked like Chantomo was about to stab Wada from behind but he did a model pose) W: I thought you were gonna stab me.... H: Sorry, I have a split personality and I wanted to... W: Ah, the train is here! (Chantomo went in front and Wadakuma hugged him from behind and they did a titanic pose) End

The songs he sang are the theme song for the stage play 「world」, “thread” by Nakajima Miyuki-san and candy lights.

After singing the theme song for world W: You know, I went to watch 「world」 and at that time, I wore a black leather jacket on top of a gray parka and black jeans, my outfit so happened to be exactly the same as Tomoki’s, I looked like I was a huge fan of his www

During thread W: the vertical thread is? H: the fans W: the horizontal thread is? H: Takuma ♡ W: Where did Tomoki go www

Before candy lights W: Now then, I’ll take my leave H: You’re not leaving yet right!? W: I’ll listen from the stage wing H: You’ll return right!? ↑ Seeing Chantomo so worried like that was cute ♡ (Chantomo then went back to the mic stand and at the mic,) W: Please listen to candy lights H: I like how Takuma remembers everything! W: I love listening to people talk H: I like listening to people talk too, but Takuma asks questions along the way that’s why it’s so easy to talk about myself!

During candy lights, when Hirose was singing, Wadakuma appeared with a cake! He also brought a letter. In the letter, he wrote “(Seeing) Chantomo flourish makes me happy as if it’s me”, he’s a really kind person.

After candy lights W: Why did you sing this? H: Why!? Um, um, because the movie is coming out www ↑ Sometimes the questions are so weird it’s funny

H: Aoki-kun appears in this movie too and from the start, I thought that he was a really cool person but the way he says “good morning” (at this point, Hirose imitates the way Aoki-kun walks) is extremely cool!

Talk about the photo book H: I shot the photo book in Macau W: Macau!? Eh, I got goosebumps www H: www Ah, but this is my second (photo book) that’s why! W: Your first was in Nagasaki www ↑ I’m not sure if I heard the location right, sorry... (T/N: wasn’t his first in Okinawa for Jtripper?)

Questions Do you have any characters that you want to try from here on? H: It’s starting to get difficult to act as a student so I want to try acting as a doctor or as a detective~ And I have been having black hair for almost 6 years so I want a character that can break this image!

If you come to Yamanashi, where do you want to go? W: Have you been to Yamanashi? H: I have! Um, I climbed Mount Fuji but wasn’t there a dispute between whether Mount Fuji is in Shizuoka-ken or in Yamanashi-ken? And so, (I’ve been to) Yamagata-ken. W: No, (they’re asking about) Yamanashi www H: That’s right www Yamagata www W: wwww H: When you climb Mount Fuji, your world changes!! It only changes this much though www But things have returned back to normal and I want to climb it one more time! Let’s go! W: You know, I bought a coat recently and the store employee told me that if I wear this coat, I can go to see the aurora! www

What do you eat for breakfast? H: Breakfast huh~ Aloe Vera yoghurt W: Having said that, you’re always eating yoghurt at the rehearsal venue (laughs) H: I’m the type to eat (a lot) at night so in the morning my stomach doesn’t digest well~ W: That’s why you put the Ehomaki on top of the refrigerator www H: You read (my blog post) www W: Do you cook? H: I cooked during my part-time job but, what is it, I don’t cook for myself~ It would be nice if I could cook for somebody~ Want to come over? W: Ehh!! I do, I do www Do say “I made this for my husband~” okay www ↑ (T/N: contrary to popular belief, it’s not Chantomo who called Wada his husband but Wada was the one who said it)

Returning to the stage from the audience (T/N: not sure when this took place) H: Takuma, wait, the lighting looks really good on you now! W: Eh, really!? H: Go back and come back up again! It works really well with those glasses!! W: It truly is interesting (said with a Fukuyama Masaharu-san feel)

A part of Chantomo’s letter I love all of you. I’m the type that will like somebody because they like me so I like all of you. And all the staff that are working behind the scenes and Yamada James Takeshi-san, Wadakuma, it’s because all of you are here that today’s event was a success. I’m really thankful. ↑ Chantomo’s kindness could be felt through this letter. He really treasures the fans and staff ♡

T/N: I will translate the full letter in another post
