#id like to see wataru being frustrated over losing for the first time

[yume-fanfare]

this new tour got me thinking about performance again (as one does)

wataru tends to repeatedly put himself in the support or even villain position to make someone else shine, whoever it is that he deems the protagonist at the time, so that the story "progresses correctly". he often takes a step back so that "the newbies who are still learning" can get their time to shine, even if he'd also like to be at the center for a longer time.

(atlantis and fist of idol pictured)

and this is a problem he has in this tour too. fine already told him to do what he wants, but he's still somewhat hesitant and ends up playing around with izumi, he doesn't really get serious about it and that frustrates izumi to no end, as he's really competitive and truly works very hard to get where he's at

meanwhile, in performance we see one of the reasons why wataru likes hokuto's mom that much (lol). in her troupe, wataru (18-19) gets to be the inexperienced newbie, something he hasn't been in well over ten years, as a child actor genius

i'm really hoping that after this tour we'll get to see wataru truly going all-out
