Let’s talk about our favorite actors

…or why I like a certain actor to be more precise lol. I haven’t been around here much and I’ve just been reading when I have time, so I took @leenaevilin's post as a chance to talk a little about it, because liking an actor can really become a big thing to a fan, especially when you are having a hard time.

If I'm honest, I've been around this fandom for years so I have liked several actors: Aiba Hiroki, Kato Kazuki, Yagami Ren, Baba Toru, Kubota Yuki, Aoki Tsunenori... yeah, Tenimyu actors lol. I've always been a fan of Tenimyu since Hyoutei came out and that was around 2004-2005 so I've been following some actors and the 2.5D fandom since then. And now I don't have a favorite actor but two and I think you already know: Kuroba Mario and Sakiyama Tsubasa.

So better I start using a cut since this was longer than expected orz.

Let's start with Mario. If I'm honest, I wasn't a big fan of the Golden Pair or Kikumaru, but something about him that is very charming came to my attention when I was watching Tenimyu: his smile (and he was taller than Oishi! lol) and his name. I thought he was such a very sweet Kikumaru... or Kikumario? xD It was funnier when one time, his Seigaku mates "bullied" him a little because he was so quiet compared to the character lol and he actually admited he was totally different from the character as well.

But I think I started to be a real fan when he was casted in Toumyu, so thanks to him, I started to watch the musicals, watch the anime, play the game (I'm not the type to play much so my citadel is still newbie even if I have been playing for almost two years orz) and watch the stage play as well. Also, you can note how much he has improved since Tenimyu, his personality, his acting and his voice, so I feel proud and happy to have been able to see that change. And we are near his birthday so he is going to be 25 soon! So you can say Mario brought me to Touken Ranbu and everything related to that, including... Tsubasa xD

So now how I met Tsubasa... precisely because of Toumyu lol. Of course, when I first started to like Toumyu and watching the Trial Version and Atsukashiyama Ibun, aside from Mario, the other two actors I already knew were Sato Ryuji and Ohira Shunya. So the other three were new to me, but something about Tsubasa just dragged me to know more about him... and his lips lol. But since I knew nothing about him, I started to investigate and I found a lot of pleasant things actually, like... how can he play so different characters??? He was rather new to the industry and he already had done so much, so I was just amazed by his talent. I still remember I hadn't realized at first the actor who played Abarai Renji in the last Burimyu was actually him lol. And we have something in common... same age lol, but I’m technically older than him by a couple of months orz. But seriously, the fact he has started his acting career in his twenties and everything he had to go through to be where is he is now, makes me love him even more. I feel so proud of him.

At that time, I still wasn't so active in the Toumyu fandom and then I started to buy and share stuff related to Mario at first, but suddenly I started to buy a lot of things about Tsubasa as well xD That was last year and I also started to run the communities here for both of them. And everything was before the Oretabi news lol. Aside from Toumyu, I liked them both separately because they have their own brilliant careers, but the Oretabi news ruined me... they still ruin me actually xD The news, the photos, the events, the posts from both of them with each other and everything we have found out this year, like the fact they are living together from some time already, has become a bliss but at the same time, in a pressure to continue running the communities since I never have much time to stay around. Also, this year hasn't been so good to my real life (issues at work, family issues, especially my closest cousin passing away, health issues and so on) so sometimes I just want to give up everything and continue being a silent fan and supporting them "from the shadows". I still have to fight against that everyday and there are days I feel empty, so I was thinking in closing this Tumblr because even if I have met a few people whom I can talk a little more than sharing stuff, I still feel like a link provider from time to time, because some few people is disrespectful and make you feel like a robot who is available 24/7. But even though all those fights I have to face everyday both here and in real life, even if I want to leave from here, those two always find the way to give me reasons to stay and thanks to that, they have become in such important people to me so far ♥

So no, I'm not closing anything at the moment ^^

So that's why I said that liking an actor can become in something so important, because even if people have disappointed you, they are still there to cheer you up in so many ways, even if you can't buy a lot of things about them, even if you can't meet them in person or even if you don't know enough Japanese to understand everything. What defines a fan shouldn't be only that. The fact they can make your day brighter even with just a tweet, a photo or a post on their blogs sometimes is enough ^^ But if you can support them by buying their stuff, then do it! *runs away*
