My Tanthamore Comfort Fics

We were talking about comfort fics in the Tanthamore discord and I realized I have too many for a normal sized reply, so here's a tumblr post instead. In no particular order i've reread these fics...maybe too many times.

I'm just gonna list em by author cause that's easier. Keep in mind we may have different definitions of the word comfort.

@commanderbuffy

650 ft2 - Ok so like envision these girls have been best friends for forever and they've been secretly pining for ages, no sense of personal space, they can read eachother like books AND they were roommates!

The Tanthamore Affair - This fic has everything, one bed, fake dating, celeb au, the fic that changed the meaning of a certain emoji and all the tropes you could want really

@badlance

We've got to find other ways to make it together - this one line says all you need to know

"It is the greatest irony of Jade Claymore’s life to be a certified genius who is nevertheless in love with an idiot."

@spybrarian

More Than Just Survival - as far as 5+1 fics go this one has me in a CHOKEHOLD

I scream at your chest for as long as I must

one night at the start of the end of the world

@ilovemyships (i think you need an AO3 account to read these gems)

you won't believe it (they think we're lovers)

don't wanna pressure (but friends don't kiss friends)

@acre-of-wheat - Acre's way with words should be studied

Network Connectivity Issues - I have never related to a character more than I relate to this Jade

The Dark

The Bite

@jlmichigan

Out of the Cuirass - one of the first tanthamore fics I ever read actually and I still come back to it every so often

@stbot

lay down your armor (come lie bare with me) - saintbot has a catalogue lemme tell ya but this one for tanthamore is just so heartwarming

@overkill-max

Escaping Fate - the Kit runs away fic that everyone needs

Dil3mma (idk their tumblr right now sorry)

A Sword And A Shield (And Everything In Between)

Deja-Brew - the loveliest coffee shop one shot

Jad3dEt3rnal (idk if they have a tumblr either)

This Daydream is Dangerous - cuddly vampire Jade, need I say more?

ana_chronistic (idk if they have a tumblr either x3)

Oops. I proposed. - fake dating x 100, fake proposal it's like fake dating to the next level and I love the growth of communication and pacing in this.

@barmaid-anon

do what you feel now

you want a good girl that does bad things (to you)

fulfill (an obligation) or keep (an arrangement)

we simply don't have time to unpack why these are comfort fics, we're just going to accept it and keep going.

@thecsquirrel

Sword and Shield - I love this look at what post S1 life could have been like for the gang, revisiting Nockmaar, seeing Galladoorn, getting into the evil Elora storyline with Graydon, spending more time with the Nelwyn and in the Wildwood it's just everything

@wigster07

What a pleasant surprise - a fic of one of my other comfort fics, I know it's like fic-ception in the best way possible. If you liked Tanthamore Affair I have an inkling this will be right up your alley

@isabrella @jade-claymore @allthefakepeople @resurrecho

those rumors they have big teeth - BAND AU need I say more? I don't need to but i'm going to, this fic has everything Kit and Jade in a band, Kit's leather pants, gay-ifying songs, MAMA MIA, totally gay best friends who have basically been dating for years but won't admit to it, Jade gets to be a bit problematic as a treat, inner band fighting, what more can you want?

@swashbucklery

meet you where the spirit meets the bones (tanthamore 90s werewolf au) - its a SERIES of these repressed gay DORKS and they're werewolves, there's such a charming way to how this author writes them I legit can't even with these two gays

@onlyshestandsthere

these walls come tumbling down - look, we don't have time to unpack why there's so many were-related supernatural esque fics on my comfort list and I know this is only 2 chapters in but I can already feel the comfort in all the hurt ok I dont even have to wait I already know i'm gonna be rereading this like monthly

I'm gonna have to stop there even though I know i'm still missing some! If someone asked me what my favorites are we'd be here all day XD

[sunlightfeeling]

i was gonna stop this at the point when takuya is just in full-on existential crisis but……

smap is truly the only group that can chaotically segue like this

by the way, Kawaguchi is the name of the girl that was in an improv skit competition for all the members of SMAP and Kis-My-Ft2 (who are ~15 years younger than SMAP)

Kimura in particular says “What have I done?” …rather ominously…

because his extra challenge for his skit was to sneak a kiss in

which he did because he’s him

…did I mention that she was 19? 😭😂

[commanderbuffy]

Finishing writing chapter 13 of 650 ft2 and I”m just hoping there aren’t any storylines or easter eggs I’d planned on using in this chapter that I’ve totally forgotten about. Some things that come back:

Kit and Jade list of roommate rules

A previous chapter title

Actually talking about their first kiss for the first time?

Graydon’s reaction to everything (his is my favorite)

[fauna-and-floraa]

Love idol groups who have just the most fucked names like imagine you're about to debut and you get told your groups going to be called kis-my-ft2 prounced kiss my foot 2. Like okay. Sure. I guess.

[sorairokakera]

favorite Kis-My-Ft2 singles/albums title songs

though I listen to coupling/albums song more often, I also enjoy listening their title songs~ At first I tried to make my top 10 singles title songs but it's so difficult I made top 25 instead! 😆 They released double/tripe title songs in one single, here on my list I put them separately. I divided them into 2 lists, top 25 title songs from 30 singles released (and special), top 7 title songs from 9 albums released (and best album).

There are 3 title songs which kind of special I put them out of the list:

Everybody Go - 1st Single (debut song)

I'm glad that their debut song is encouraging/応援 type of song. It's always exciting to listen~

SHE! HER! HER! - 3rd Single

A song that attached to Kisumai the most other than debut song, シー! ハー! ハー! 笑 They performed it so often some fans (me included) wish they would performed another song in Johnny's events (countdown), it's a nice song but they have more good songs it would be nicer if more people know more of their songs~ This song's MV is.......笑

キ・ス・ウ・マ・イ ～KISS YOUR MIND～ - 7th Single

Kisumai pole at the beginning of Kisuumai is sooooooo adorable!! I really like watching them doing it in their live concert even though it's quite challenging. This song is fun but the MV is another トンチキ MV of Kisumai 笑

~ favorite title songs from singles

Luv Bias - 27th Single

Love this song, it's so lovely. There are parts of this song which they sing in duet, their voice combinations are great. There's 'another' version of Luv Bias which members sing in individual parts, it's very nice too.

Tonight - 18th Single

Kisumai's sexy wild side!! This song is so good and their dance/performance always ❤️‍🔥

Gravity - 16th Single

Fear - 28th Single

Really like that Kisumai has this kind of song, it's mesmerizing. Wish they performed this song more on release period ; ;

Edge of Days - 25th Single

This song is really kakkoii. I like the chorus part so much.

HOME - Special Single You&Me

Really like 'tadaima' 'okaeri' part.

キミとのキセキ - 8th Single

Lovely and addictive~🫶🏻✨

We Never Give Up - 2nd Single

The MV is kind of painful to watch because it shows that harsh 3:4 treatment they experienced through some years, but this song is actually very nice to listen.

My Resistance -タシカナモノ- - 6th Single

アイノビート - 5th Single

I really like the rock version!

SO BLUE - 28th Single

S.O.S (Smile on Smile) - 7th Single

光のシグナル - 10th Single

That ギラギラこわい Kisumai sang Doraemon theme song! The image of this song is so different with Kisumai's image especially their pre-debut image 笑 It's very nice to listen how Tama's vocal improves year by year when they perform this song~

Thank youじゃん！- 12th Single

A fun adorable song which they perform often~! It's always fun to listen.

Shake It Up - 4th Single

Usually I'm not fond of party-dance-kind of songs but I enjoy listening this~ (I'm too biased? 🌝)

Another Future - 11th Single

~ favorite title songs from albums

To Yours - 9th Album

Adorable and lively~! 🫶🏻

YES! I SCREAM - 5th Album

I didn't know I like this king of song until I listen to Kisumai. It's exciting!

A10TION - Best of Kis-My-Ft2

It has similar vibe with YES! I SCREAM which I like a lot, it's a very nice song for their 10th anniversary~! Thank you a11✨

Seven Journey - 3rd Album

I'm not sure how to elaborate on the reasons, this song is addictive~! It's very nice.

Girl is mine - 1st Album

Black & White - 2nd Album

HUG & WALK - 8th Album

A very important part of Kisumai that I want to include here too, one of turning points, 舞祭組 busaiku! They're very fun to watch and also encouraging. One of Kis-My-Ft2's big charms. My top 3 songs from them are:

やっちゃった！！

This song is fun and somehow encouraging to just accept some things that happened 😌

道しるべ

棚からぼたもち (debut song)

I wish I can link MVs of all my favorite songs above, since their MVs are available on their YouTube channel now (finally their MVs can be watched by many more people ; ; ), because there's a limit I only linked some ><

Here is their performance on Shounen Club Premium Show, Kis-My-Ft2 All Singles Medley!! A very rare precious stage✨

[one-time-i-dreamt]

Somebody just asked me about my pronouns and I suddenly remembered when one guy kept misgendering my friend so I kept sending him this song and clips of the band chanting "SHE, HER, HER" and it really annoyed him so much. I got some other of my friends to do the same thing and he ended up leaving my friend alone because we all terrorized him with SHE! HER! HER! and tbh I don't even remember how I found the song nor the group but if someone ever misgenders your friend that goes by she/her pronouns, send them this!

Hana Nochi Hare: Hanadan Next Season

A lot of years have passed since I last picked up a J-dorama; in fact, I’m not even sure if Zankai Girl was the last I watched or Shitsuren Chocolatier! I would usually watch Japanese dramas if an Arashi member, Ryo Nishikido, Yamapi, Oguri Shun or Ikuta Toma was in it which made it harder for me to decide which dramas to watch. I was less finicky when it came to movie actors though considering I have watched tons recently, and also became a fan of Takeru Satoh ever since I saw him on Rurouni Kenshin and in person. 

News of this Boys Over Flowers Season 2 came during my first year in senior high school but I was too occupied with school to watch. Heck I had to give up the opportunity to see Penn Badgley in person because I had a test for Statistics and Probabilities the next day! Currently I’m taking a break from college due to the pandemic so I can binge on all the dramas, animes and mangas I want for now. It was actually Kaguya Sama: Love is War that lead me to finally watch Hanadan, mainly because I got curious about Sho Hirano. He played the role of Shirogane Miyuki in the live action film and I thought he isn’t a bad actor so why not check out his dramas. I was really surprised to learn he is a member of King & Prince because I never really paid attention to the Johnny’s idols who debuted after Hey! Say! Jump and Kis-My-Ft2. I was too hung up on the Golden Era of the Johnny’s trainees that it became difficult to accept the younger generation of idols and actors in the Japanese entertainment scene. I have always been curious about Hanadan and realizations about the current Japanese entertainment scene gave me a wake up call. My standards were left too high, and I got stuck there so it was a good thing be woken up because it made me less judgmental. It is for this reason that I was able to enjoy watching this drama without setting expectations.

I binge watched it with a break of five hours of sleep before finishing off the remaining five episodes. It left me with a heart full of warmth. Finally, I found another drama which gave me a hundred percent satisfaction (except, I believe Oto and Hartuto deserved a kiss scene in the last episode). I was totally floored because I could not help but think this is exactly how I would write a drama if I became a drama writer! I love how the story felt similar yet different from the Hana Yori Dango of Jun Matsumoto and Inoue Maou. I love the fact that Oto and Haruto became friends despite the growing romantic feelings they had for each other. I also love that Oto tried her best to stay with Tenma till the very end. I must admit, I was totally on Tenma’s side until he chose not to believe Oto over Konoe. It was a total game changer in terms of who to root for because a huge boo boo. I was actually waiting for what type of flaw the writer would incorporate to his character to make him a bit less deserving of Oto’s affections. She grew up a lot after the sudden riches to rags events in her life thus building a wall between them. Haruto also matured a lt after being involved with her; it was especially evident when he apologized to the Hase family because Oto was not able to attend the family lunch. He took the blame and even testified for her how much she values Tenma in her heart. I was like Damn, Kaguragi is all grown up! 

I must add though that him fan-boying over Tsukasa, Rui and Sojiro felt like me fan-girling over these people too! I totally understand why he was so starstruck to see them in person. He was so cute especially when he encountered Rui and Sojiro! I almost died of envy with his Tsukasa hologram in his own room! Honestly, I have so much praises for this drama partly because a lot of the cliche from Hana Yori Dango was either eliminated or given a twist. I also like that the story gave a lot of attention to the friendship aside from romance and intense opposition from parents. It was a refreshing yet familiar drama.

Although it took me two years to pick up this drama, I hope it can continue to receive more love in the future because it deserves just that. Also viewers would be well off not comparing the actors and drama to Hana Yori Dango, after all, this is NOT a remake. It is set a decade after the legendary F4 of Eitoku Academy.

Nota Bene: Isn’t Airi just so cute? She was the cutest character of them all! Also, I love the fact that Utada Hikaru lent her voice once again with Hatsukoi as the main theme along with king and prince’s Cinderella Girl.

favorite Kis-My-Ft2 coupling (from single) songs, album songs, solo and unit songs

Kisumai has lots of great coupling and album songs~!! I listen to those more often than their single/album titles 😌 Here I tried to make a list of my favorites, picked 7 songs with 4 categories (I'm not sure I did the category thing right)

~ Coupling & Album songs

素敵 - lovely gentle ballads

If -- Kis-My-World / 4th Album

'If' is one of several Kisumai songs I listen the most often. Tama's word at the beginning, lyric, song, performance, all are beautiful.

ソライロ -- 君、僕。/ 22nd Single

I love sorairo ; ; The song and lyric are so lovely, I really like Tama's part in this song, especially on the last chorus: "ずっと忘れないよ君とただ見上げた空". Nika's part: "どんな景色もどんな色でも全て愛しくて" followed after Tama's part, I really like these 2 parts.

Let you go -- Endless Summer / 26th Single

Really like Tama's part here, before last chorus ; ;

君にあえるから -- Thank youじゃん！/ 12th Single

Kimi ni aeru kara, I really like Tama's part here, especially the last part, at the end of song is great.

memento -- To-y2 / 9th Album

Tama's part here too, I like it a lot.

夕空 -- I SCREAM / 5th Album

Good-bye, thank you -- Kis-My-1st / 1st Album

Kisumai's pre-debut song I like the most. It used to be encore song on their pre-debut shows. This song is heart-wrenching but somehow gives a bit strength too. B melo(?) part, I particularly like that lyric: よく待ち合わせたショッピングモール / はぐれないように手をつないだ / その手をもっと / 握り返せばよかったんだ

応援 - songs that encourage

感じるままに輝いて -- Another Future / 11th Single

Kanjiru Mama ni Kagayaite was the first song of Kisumai that made me cried first time listen. The lyric from the beginning to end of song is sooo good. This song also matches Kisumai well, they sang it often on their 10th anniversary along with 'Re:' ; ; I love this song.

Re: -- I SCREAM / 5th Album

The lyric of 'Re:' is compiled from parts of member's letters to fans, it's really lovely. title Re: like a reply to fans messages (on mail's subject, there's "Re: "). It has great message and a really good love letter for fans.

リボン -- Two as One / 29th Single

This song, Ribbon, is so lovely and gives a bit more warmth we all need.

足音 -- Best of Kis-My-Ft2

New song for Kisumai best album, Ashioto, celebrating their 10th anniversary. It's really heartfelt and I love Tama's part.

全力ファイター -- INTER (Tonight / 君のいる世界 / SEVEN WISHES) / 18th Single

Zenryoku Fighter is like a gentle, yet powerful support to move on~!

Original Color -- Luv Bias / 27th Single

種 -- To-y2 / 9th Album

Tane, really, makes me feel like drowning in tears but still holding on strong.

かっこ良すぎる - medium? (not that slow but not upbeat) addictive songs

KISS FOR U -- Everybody Go / 1st Single

I love this song!! Even though I prefer to listen slow songs before sleep, I sometimes listen to this (then I become a bit too excited to listen more of their songs). They also really cool performing this song.

Still song for you -- 君、僕。/ 22nd Single

I listen to this song often too, also before sleep (then my tension gets a bit higher I can't sleep soon after)

Past&Future -- Kiss魂 / 13th Single

ずっと～You are my Everything～ -- 光のシグナル / 10th Single

I like Zutto ~You are my Everything~ more after Home online live (2021), a really great online live.

THIS CRAZY LOVE -- FREE HUGS! / 8th Album

Tama's part, "baby doll" >< I like this song more after their performance on Shounen Club Premium Show (Tama's visual also amazing there).

蜃気楼 -- Yummy!! / 7th Album

Their performances of Shinkiro always mesmerizing.

Tell me why -- Kis-My-1st / 1st Album

This song probably can be included as ballad? (I'm not expert in this) but I think I'll put this on this list~ When I first listened to 'Tell me why', I would like to see Kisumai do more heart-wrenching songs~

オラオラ - charming and very kakkoii songs

NAKED -- Luv Bias / 27th Single

This song!! damn, I really like this song after I watched their performance, it's really charming.

ETERNAL MIND -- Yoshio~new member~

Not from single or album actually but fans love it and it's included in Best of Kis-My-Ft2 (best album) so I included it here~ I really like this song and their performance always on fire.

FIRE BEAT -- Kis-My-1st / 1st Album

My 2nd most favorite of Kisumai's pre-debut songs. If I was there around that time I absolutely would become their fan after I saw their performance, I enjoy this type of song (I love rock the most) when I was young (still liking it).

r.a.c.e. --Music Colosseum / 6th Album

Tama's part here is soo kakkoii!! The performance of this song is very kakkoii I can't take my eyes off them.

Break The Chains -- Yummy!! / 7th Album

With new choreography, or that performances on Yummy!! live concert, their performances of this song are very kakkoii. It has beautiful encouraging lyric too.

COUNT 7EVEN -- To-y2 / 9th Album

I really like they tried to do this style of music too~! It's refreshing and they performed this song well, it's kakkoii and exciting at the same time.

Cannonball -- To-y2 / 9th Album

いい感じ - feels good and addictive

#1 Girl -- FREE HUGS! / 8th Album

I love this song~! I listen to #1 Girl often and still want to listen to it again, it gives a very gentle lovely feeling 🫶🏻

Winter Lover -- アイノビート / 5th Single

Winter Lover is so lovely and addictive. Probably my most favorite Kisumai's winter song. I first heard this song when watching Kisumai Busaiku and was like "!! this song so good~!"

君想い -- 君を大好きだ / 23rd Single

Kimi Omoi has a very nice lyric and gives warm feeling~

ダイスキデス -- Kis-My-Journey / 3rd Album

This just, adorable!! Daisuke Desu always gives good fluffy feeling.

All Around The World -- PICK IT UP / 19th Single

I like to listen to this song in the morning, it's like a gentle support to go on.

Innocent -- Edge of Days / 25th Single

A gentle and heartwarming song~ I really like some of Kisumai's winter songs and Innocent is one of their songs I often listen when it's cold.

I Scream Night -- I SCREAM / 5th Album

This song is so fun! Their performance of this song will always be fun to remember, Kisumai (also back dancers) and fans having fun together~!

It's quite hard to make this list, I like many of their songs! I said I picked 7 each, but there are 3 more songs I really like and often listen that I want to put them here too~

Akumu -- Two as One / 29th Single

Tokyo-kis -- 想花 / 30th Single

Because I Love You -- LOVE / 21st Single

'Akumu' and 'Tokyo-kis' are so addictive~! I'm not that into 'Because I Love You' lyric but I really like the song and their dance performance for that song, it's very kakkoii and beautiful.

~ Solo, I listen to Tamamori Yuta and Kitayama Hiromitsu solo the most among all members solo, here I tried to pick my 4 favorites of Tama's and Mitsu's solo songs.

// 玉森裕太

Share Love -- HOME (2021 online live)

It's so lovely and Tama's like~

FORM -- Kis-My-Journey / 3rd Album

Give me... -- Goodいくぜ！/ 2nd Album

星に願いを -- LOVE / 21st Single
