#put that serious guy in harajuku

[bunnidudels]

I think it's very important actually for everyone to have at least one character they can do whatever they like with. Like, a combination barbie doll and muse. If you're an artist you should be able to draw them doing whatever or wearing whatever for fun, and if you're a writer you can write them doing anything. Could be a canon character from some media you like or an OC. It doesn't have to make sense at all. Like. Draw hatsune Miku doing plumbing. Put Castiel in those big ass emo 90s pants and have him playing DDR. Write about wolverine looking for a very specific brand of cereal. Your magical girl OC is now on Mars farming potatoes. Whatever makes your heart sing.

[to-star-lake]

in the early days when you joined bonten as their new advisor, you spent a lot of time with koko; drawing up business plans, managing the books, overseeing construction on new clubs and buildings.

koko had the nicest office of all of the bonten leaders. it was on the top floor of a highrise in the middle of the shibuya business district. complete with high-end leather and mahogany furniture, and a gorgeous city view.

you'd spent time with each of the bonten executives when you joined and koko was probably your favorite to work with. you found takeomi too serious, kakucho boorish, mochi too macho, the haitani's were exhausting, and sanzu..well..

koko was like you; blunt and efficient with work, a little impatient, maybe a little condescending. you enjoyed your daily work with him in his office. it was always quiet, productive, and his assistants always served the best sencha.

except today.

today when you walked in through the mahogany double doors that led to his office, you were almost decked in the face by a toy rubber basketball.

"he shoots! he scores? no! he misses!" you heard a voice yell, followed by a maniacal cackling.

what...the hell is this? the floor of koko's office, which was normally clean, surgically clean, was littered with teddy bears, squeak toys, board games with their pieces strewn about haphazardly, a jump rope, a putting green, and a trash bin overflowing with crumpled candy wrappers.

the rubber basketball that almost hit your head rolled towards the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves on one end of the room and you saw a kiddie basketball hoop attached to one of the shelves. and below that, sanzu, flopped on his stomach on the floor, a different flavored ring pop on each of his fingers.

"koko..i'm really bad at basketball," he grumbled, picking himself up and walked over to koko's desk, slamming his hands down on the surface, the sudden gust of wind almost blowing the stack of papers in front of koko away.

"oh no, well, why don't you go try the putt putt?" koko sighed, not even looking up from his work, waving his hand in the air like he was shooing away a fly. "ah, y/n! finally, someone sane. please, get over here, i need you to look at something," koko waved you over when he noticed you standing in the doorway.

you made your way across the minefield of toys on the floor and greeted sanzu as he walked past you. "good morning," you smiled cordially.

he sauntered past you, looking down at you through bloodshot, half-shut eyes, his usual sinister smile plastered wide across his face. he'd opened his mouth to say, "good morning, little prin-" but then stepped on a pile of toy soldiers and tripped, tumbling to the floor, his long limbs getting all tangled up in themselves.

"uh... hey, koko?" you took a seat in the armchair beside the desk, setting your laptop down on the tabletop. "what's going on here? where's mikey?"

koko let out an exasperated sigh, rolling his eyes. "sometimes mikey goes off on his own, and when he does, the rest of us have to take turns...babysitting," he nodded at the gangly man with bubblegum colored hair with a plastic toy putter in his hands. "i pulled the short straw today," he sighed, pushing the large binder of documents he was looking at over to you.

"koko!!"

"jesus, what now?" koko looked up, so annoyed you could almost see the steam coming out his ears.

"there's no balls," sanzu pointed at the putting green on the floor.

"well, who decided to ambush people by pelting them with the balls outside the bathroom last time?"

sanzu stared back at koko blankly.

"ugh, nevermind. could you play with something else? y/n and i have work to do." koko scooted his seat closer to you, and began circling a few line items on the page in front of you. "got this today from the guys over at the club in akasaka. these totals look off to you?"

you glanced over the document, and flipped back a few pages and reviewed the itemized lists also included in the binder. "damn," you said, looking up at koko. "these assholes are skimming."

koko opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by a sudden loud popping noise. both of you turned to see sanzu on the floor, pulling the heads off of a pile of barbie and ken dolls.

koko raised his hands to his temples, the frown lines between his eyebrows deepening by the second. "jesus christ, this psychotic clown, if he wasn't the number 2 I swear to god-” he muttered under his breath.

"hey, sanzu?" you called out and sanzu's head jerked up to look at you, his eyes suddenly bright and attentive, like a child amongst the sea of toys on the floor.

"yes, princess?" he called back.

"could you go on a coffee run for us?"

sanzu tilted his head a little, confused. "a coffee...run?"

"yeah...you know, to buy coffee?"

he blinked, still confused.

"to buy...starbucks?"

"ah! you want me to buy you starbucks," he suddenly shot up.

"yes! yes, please, for me and koko, that would be great," you smiled, thinking you were finally getting somewhere with him.

he walked over to the desk. "anything for you, princess. and you can call me haru," he hummed, taking a bright pink ring pop off his finger and sliding it onto your ring finger, and a blue one onto koko's ring finger. "be back in a flash."

he turned to walk out of the office, whistling and not bothering to avoid the toys scattered on the floor, simply stepping on them as he went.

the doors closed behind him and you turned to koko, "now we can get some work done."

"let's hope he takes his time," koko rolled his eyes, sliding the ring pop off his finger, holding onto only the plastic part as gingerly as possible, a disgusted look on his face because he could tell sanzu had definitely licked the candy already.

"is it always like this when mikey's away?"

"sanzu? yeah, pretty much. but mikey tolerates him cus he's been with him longer than any of us, he's his loyal mad dog," koko sighed. "but that bastard's insane. apparently back in the day he got moved back and forth between all of mikey's captains cus nobody could handle him."

"wow. yeah, i guess i can see that," you glanced over at all the toys scattered on the floor. "seems pretty tough for you too."

"oh, i've actually done the best with him," koko scoffed. "last time, he was the haitani brothers' responsibility, they decided to take him to a hostess club. thought it'd be a good distraction for him. crazy maniac decided to pay for all the women there."

"all of them? that's..that's a lot-"

"no, that's not the crazy part. he paid for all the women, and then made them line up against the wall with liquor bottles on top of their heads and he used them for target practice." koko ran a hand through his hair, sighing. "anyway, who knows when he's gonna be back so we should try to get as much done as possible while he's away."

you nodded. the two of you worked dilligently, reviewing the rest of the books collected from bonten's other clubs and businesses in town, making one stack for ones that pass, and one that required additional scrutiny.

after a while, you stretched your arms up over your head, noticing the sun hung high in the sky and glanced at the clock on the wall. it read 12:15.

"i wonder where he is," you said, realizing it'd been almost two and a half hours since he left.

"who knows what that lunatic gets up to," koko sighed, turning the page of the binder he was leafing through.

"i actually could've used some coffee though," you yawned.

"i can have my girls make some sencha-"

just then the doors to his office burst open, and sanzu staggered in, eyes blood red, a blue gift bag in one hand, the other dragging a giant 10-foot teddy bear behind him.

"and suddenly my headache's back," koko muttered and sanzu approached the two of you at the desk.

sanzu dragged the huge teddy bear over and plopped it beside you. "i got this for you, princess."

"hah..um...where'd you get this..giant thing?" you didn't even know where to begin.

"there's a carnival downtown. i got it playing a shooting game," he grinned from ear to ear. koko groaned, knowing sanzu, by 'shooting game' he probably meant he threatened to shoot the person manning the booth if he didn't give him the bear.

"hah..i see, thank you. but why is it missing its eyes?" you asked, looking at the bear's face and noticing the eyeballs had been ripped out, only some tattered threads remained in the sockets.

"they were ugly," sanzu shrugged. "koko, i got you something too," he dropped the gift bag down in front of koko.

"thanks.." koko reached into the bag and pulled out a tiny cross-stitched sweater which could've only been made for an infant. "uh...dude, what is this?"

"it's a sweater for your chihuahua," sanzu explained, yawning and plopping down onto a chair by the desk.

"i don't have a chihuahua?"

"i could've sworn you did," sanzu tilted his head, as though in deep thought. "oh, i guess it's just you that's always yapping. it's amazing y/n puts up with this every day," he laughed, but his tone was filled with hostility.

you saw koko's body tense in your periphery and you quickly spoke up to diffuse the sudden tension. "haru, did you get coffee?"

"coffee? oh! the starbucks. yes, i did."

you stared back at him. "that's great, uh...so where is it?"

"on the corner of harajuku square, by yoyogi station," he smiled.

"what?"

"oh my god," koko groaned, raising his palms to his eyes and rubbing them in circles.

you looked back and forth between koko and sanzu.

koko took a deep breath and leaned back in his chair, turning to look at you. "he bought the starbucks."

Part 21:  A yandere story with zero sense of direction :D 

 Dabi followed Toga to where her friends were, if she tried anything he didnt care if she was a highschooler or a girl he would set her on fire if she tried to double cross him, huh there are more anger, toga walked down the steps and walked into this bar, Dabi followed in and man for an underground bar this palace wasnt so bad, more high end.

“Hey Jin, look I managed to track him down.” she said, a guy on the couch was smoking, he just put his hand up.

“Jin isn't much of a talker, he is in his head a lot.” A guy who was sitting at the bar said

“HI Sako.” Toga said

“Oh I know this guy.” Dabi said

“Is that so, well guess so my headshot is plaster on basically every store.” He said

“Yeah you are that kleptomaniac who stole over 4 million in merchandise.” Dabi said

“Yup...that's me.” he said

“Toga...why is it here?” the guy in the corner finally spoke up

“Oh hi jin, this is the guy who was in the same place as me.” Toga explained, “I found Jin shortly after I was released.”

“I still don't know why you brought me here though.” Dabi said taking a seat, Toga looked over at him

“Two things, you don't have to hide yourself here, and second I can help you, now tell me everything about this girl you like.”

The date went well, really well, you were in bed staring at the ceiling, you rolled over gripping your pillow and stuffing your face in it, here you were cheeks hot and smiling to yourself non-stop, you felt like rolling on the floor while squealing. You were giddy for once, nothing in the back of your head indicating that you were endangered, nope just you going on a date with a guy you really liked, who liked you back, how many dates was it usually before a guy asked to be your boyfriend again.

Then that bubble on anxiety came back

What if he realizes that he only likes me as a friend and now that it will turn awkward between us..

“no no, not going to happen, Keigo isn't like that, he doesn't play mind games with me and he has liked me for a long time”

What if that was part of his mind games, what if he is the type of guy who only likes the chase and hates the settling down part

“Right because sticking with me and getting in the middle of serious danger with my ex is only something a playboy would do. I know Keigo may have many faces but he is a good person, he wouldn't mess with my feelings like that.”

Are you sure about that?

Before you continued to downward spiral, your phone buzzed it was a text for Keigo

“Hey I had a lot of fun today, can't wait for tomorrow, I was thinking of going to Harajuku for our next date, does that sound good to you?”

Yeah totally the words of a guy who was trying to play with your heart.

“That sounds great, so I'll see you around 10?”

“Yup pick you up then xoxo.”

“That type of person sends xoxo in this day in age, what a dork.” you said to yourself, at least this grounded your thoughts for the time being, it had been a good holiday for you, looks like things were finally starting to turn around for you.

So when the two of you were finally walking the streets together, you were looking around at the boutiques a bit through the window.

“Man, I'm impressed by how fast these stores take down their decorations.” Keigo said, looking over at the toppled over pine tree that was left in the street with the other decoration, and up was the new year festival decorations, it was a never ending process of out with the old and in with the new.

“Can we go into this store? They have some nice gloves in there on sale.” you said

“Sure, I need some gloves that aren't fingerless.” Keigo said and you two walked in

Despite the fact the two of you were out together for 8 hours, you two didn't buy much, as many shops there were, the price range was a little out there for university students, well except for some new matching gloves.

“Did you have to get the same pair as me?” you asked

“You have good taste, not my fault you picked out the best pair.” he said as you got to your door

“Well I had fun, again.” you said as you unlocked the door

“Same...so can I like, give you a kiss?” he asked

“How about on the cheek you said.” pointing to it and he reached don and gave it a quick smooch

“Well guess i'll see you in class tomorrow then.” he said

“See you then.” you said and went in trying to hide your smile to no avail.

Keigo walked back to his car and immediately felt something was a bit off, before he could reach he felt a hand over his mouth, and a knife pressed up against his neck, this hand was too small to be Dabi not to mention a lot softer.

“Don't scream.” a girl's voice came out “also don't struggle I'd hate for the first gash on your neck be shallow and from an accident. Now I'm going to uncover your mouth and if you scream this knife will go straight through your jugular, and blood will just gush out like a fountain, okay~”

With out much of a choice here Keigo nodded his head, and she removed her hand, but not the knife

“What do you want, if it's my wallet you can take it.” he said, were high schoolers doing car robbery now, he wouldn't surprise him with what he has seen them do in the past.

“Hehe, no i don't want money, you friend Dabi is looking for you, so here is the deal, ill direct you to where he is, and you drive there, if you don't follow direction ill slice your neck.” 

“Fine, where to.” Keigo said as he started the engine , he was going to fucking kill Dabi this time next time he saw his face.

You’re my Gofer!

Summary: One shot sequel to crystal clear.

Takemichi’s brain short circuited at the sight that greeted his eyes.

When Akashi mentioned to him yesterday that he should be prepared, he wasn’t expecting this kind of surprise.

Characters: Takemichi H. Draken R. & Senju K.

Takemichi swallowed thickly and clenched his fists as he watched the growing tension between Draken, Akashi and Senju.

While he understood and appreciated Draken’s overprotectiveness and not wanting to involve him in the world of delinquency again, Takemichi also realized that joining the Brahman will make him reached his goal faster of defeating Mikey and preventing him of going down the path of the terrible ending that was waiting for him in the future.

He can’t be indecisive now.

‘If I don’t make any decisions now, then nothing will change!’ Takemichi thought firmly.

“Draken-kun. I’ll join Brahman!” He announced resolutely.

“Huh?!” Draken looked taken aback by his decision.

Draken just took a one look at his face and he knew that he can’t really stop Takemichi no matter what he does. He’s just as stubborn as Mikey. Or even more so. This was what he actually fears when Takemichi knew everything. Takemichi will join the fray regardless if its dangerous or not. He knew that Takemichi was an adult that can make his own decisions but fuck, he didn’t want him to risk his life for Mikey or anyone of them ever again.

There’s a great future waiting for him back there but he still chose to go back here into the past to fix everything. Again. He just hoped that it’ll be all worth it in the end.

“Draken… As much as Brahman wants to stop Kantou Manji Gang…”

Akashi’s voice cut off his racing thoughts and looked pensively on the ground. “There’s no way we want to fight Mikey.”

“That’s why we need both of you, the very people whom Mikey trusts. Facing him without getting in a fight would be for the best. Please understand.” Akashi replied seriously.

Draken pondered over his words.

The pelting of the raindrops from the above had ceased and the sky grew clearer afterwards. It didn’t go unnoticed by Senju who moved his umbrella from the side and stared up at the sky.

“Oh, it stopped raining.” There was a certain look into his eyes as he stared up at the small puffs of white clouds that’s beginning to show itself. Funny, how the sky grew clearer and the weather became calmer after Takemichi had accepted their offer of joining their gang.

Was he a secret weather magician too? Takemichi could spread his sunshine and brightness even to the gray clouds beyond them. A slight curved of his lips turned upwards at the mere thought.

Draken sighed in defeat as he looked over at Takemichi’s determined face. “Well, that’s Takemitchy for ya. Keep in mind that the only reason we’re cooperating with Brahman is because of our aligning goals.” He said firmly.

“…Got it.” Takemichi replied.

“Don’t you forget about that. Welcome to Brahman, Takemitchy.” Draken smiled at him and offered his hand in front of him.

Takemichi took his hand, enveloping it in a gentle yet firm handshake. “I will definitely bring Mikey back!”

Draken could feel the callouses on his hands, a sign of the hardships that he already went through in saving all of them. And yet he could also sensed the warm sincerity beneath them, engulfing him in a state of reassurance and trust. He may have to risk again in putting of his faith in Takemichi. And that’s the one thing that he won’t hesitate in doing so now.

If there’s one thing that Takemichi’s well known of, it’s his keeping and fulfilling his promises to them and not giving up.

Draken shook back his hand firmly and smiled warmly at him. This was one of the rarest times when he can put his walls down and expressed what he actually felt for the other.

“Alrighty! I’ve decided.”

Senju’s sudden cheerful voice broke the fragile moment between the two of them and Draken resisted the urge to twitch his eyes and sigh in annoyance.

What a great timing.

Takemichi pulled his hand away from Draken and turned around, seeing an offered umbrella to his direction by Senju. He casually accepted it with a bewildered expression on his face.

“An umbrella?” He blinked a few times.

“From now on… You’re my gofer!” Senju announced happily.

“Huh?” Takemichi looked taken aback, but he wasn’t sure if it’s from Senju’s words or the cheerful expression on his face. It was strange seeing the happy look and cheerful smile painted on his face since his usual default of facial expression was mostly blank and serious. But he couldn’t deny that it made his seraphic features softer and younger. And he couldn’t tear his eyes away from him.

Senju looked like a beautiful, fallen angel from the sky.

Senju leaned closer with that everlasting smile still present on his face. “Let’s meet tomorrow, 3PM at Harajuku!”

Takemichi tried so hard not to blush at his proximity and the cuteness that was laid out in front of him. What’s with Senju and the other members of their gang invading his personal space?!

“Eh? Wait—”

“Senju’s interested in you, Hanagaki!” Akashi cut him off cheerily.

What. Takemichi’s line of thought came into a screeching halt.

“Just be prepared.” Akashi flashed him a smirk before he waved goodbye to him and Draken.

‘What does that mean?!’Takemichi thought frantically as he could only watched Akashi leave and Senju walking beside him with a spring to his steps.

The Next Day, 3PM Harajuku…

Takemichi tried to be punctual this time even though he wasn’t the exact model employee back at the DVD shop that he was working for back then. He simply didn’t want to shatter any good impression and standing that he currently had with Brahman now especially with their leader since Akashi said that Senju was interested in him. Which still weirded him out. Yet it brought a warm feeling spreading through his chest. And he didn’t even know the reason why he was feeling like that in the first place.

Nevertheless, he took Akashi’s words with a grain of salt and didn’t delved deeper on it further. Maybe Senju was always like that when he found something that caught his eye or when his goals are actually met. Their leader’s unpredictability still caught him off guard sometimes. It reminded him of Mikey.

At the mere thought of the blond, Takemichi’s mood went pensive for a bit before he fought it back with a resolute determination. Of course, he was firm in his decision to save him regardless of what method he had to undertake to achieve it. If he had to join the Brahman to reached that goal faster then so be it. He’s ready for any consequences that he needed to face if necessary.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Hanagaki!”

A voice cut off his wandering thoughts and the noise among the crowd that made him paused and turned around to the source of it.

Takemichi’s brain short circuited at the sight that greeted his eyes.

When Akashi mentioned to him yesterday that he should be prepared, he wasn’t expecting this kind of surprise.

“Let’s go.”

A young lady dressed in a female school uniform stated calmly and looked casually at him like everything wasn’t out of the ordinary.

But it isn’t.

This was Senju.

Dressed in female clothes.

Senju.

Who is now a she instead of a he.

Female clothes and features.

And had a nice rack.

Takemichi internally screamed at himself. Now this wasn’t the time to be thinking like that! There was a right time to admire the beauty in front of him. And now isn’t the right time to do it. Since when did Senju became a woman?! His brain felt like melting along with his common sense.

“Huh? Who?” Takemichi replied intelligently as he gaped at Senju’s transformed existence in front of him.

Senju just stared at him blankly before she raised a hand to cover her mouth and stifled her giggles. “Hanagaki you never failed to amuse me sometimes.”

“Eh? But h-how…?” Takemichi stammered.

“Did you hit your head or something Hanagaki? I told you yesterday to meet me here at 3pm right?” Senju answered playfully as she now tugged on his arm and pulled him along the bustling crowd of the city.

Takemichi let him get swept away by Senju’s hold and actions, his mind was still racing with rapid thoughts at this newfound discovery that made him have an internal midlife crisis. He wanted to ask so many things… but for now he just let her be as he was also tantalized by her rare sunny disposition and her ethereal features in front of him.

Of course, Senju knew the reason why Takemichi was being confused and having a meltdown in front of him. But she chose to blatantly ignored it and willfully play the ruthless card of feigned innocence. She was having fun of making him bewildered and flustered.

And she also found it cute and adorable anyway.

This was going to be an interesting day ahead.

(A/N: I own nothing from this franchise except this weird fic of mine. Chapter 215 watered my crops and extended my lifespan because of these things: Inupi, Draken and Takemichi being shirtless and exposing their toned bodies, Draken going feral to protect Takemichi, Takemichi’s ever growing character development and backbone, Senju acting like Mikey and growing fond of our crybaby hero and lastly the infamous gender reveal party at the last panel. Ken plays with us like a damn fiddle with that bomb at the last panel of chapter 215 in the manga. The whole fandom is shook and is now rioting with speedy theories and ideas lmao. Well from my end, it’s fine if Senju is a guy or a gal since the gender is not my measurement of an interest to a character anyway. But it’ll be intriguing if Senju turned out to be a female and a leader of a gang since we all know that it’s mostly a male dominated territory in the franchise. And we’ll probably get another girlboss like Yuzuha as a bonus. Who knows? Maybe Ken will drop us another mind-blowing twist at the next chapter so I’m still not fully onboard with Senju being a 100% gal. But for the sake of this fic and for fun purposes, let’s assume that Senju is a complete female here and she’s having the time of her life making our crybaby hero like this: Takemichi.exe has stopped working. Also, if Mikey learned about this, he’ll be feral and he would raise some hell to prevent them from stealing his dear Takemitchy. So, Mikey you need to step up your game and appear in the future chapters so Takemichi doesn’t end up with one of his harems lol. Reviews are amusing. So, let me hear them from you.)

Introduction to Japanese Fashion

This is a blog is for people who want to learn more about alternative Japanese fashion(J-fashion) or want to start wearing J-fashion. First things off for the people unfamiliar with J-fashion, These fashion styles are not costumes. These are styles people wear as a lifestyle or on their own free time. Anyone can wear J-fashion, no matter what age or gender. First we need to know the origin and history where most of these styles come from. The first place is Harajuku which is the fashion street of Tokyo Japan. It first got famous in the 1980’s, teens and young adults would come dressed up in their unique style on sundays. When the streets were closed and there were a lot of places to hang out. Today there are way less people who do this, because Harajuku has become a tourist trap and extremely overcrowded. This has caused a misconception the fashion is dying, they’re actually meeting up in different places now. Another fashion hub, Shibuya is a major commercial and business centre and has the two busiest railway stations in the world. A lot of big japanese brands sell in a mall called Shibuya 109. It houses many iconic japanese brands such as liz lisa, Ank Rouge, Ma*rs etc. Their target demographic is teens and girls in their early 20’s. 

Decora that started in the late 90’s, consists of lots of accessories such as hair clips, toys and bracelets usually from the dollar store,claires,toys or 6% doki doki. Used to be called sensational kawaii in 1995 with the creation of the brand 6% Doki doki. Decora has no rules like lolita fashion,you just mix and match, accessorize and put on a bunch of cute hairclips. Fairy kei (Fairy decora) came from decora but with more cool pastel colors,toned downed, with vintage american 80’s pastel toys aesthetic. One most recognized Fairy kei brand is Spank! The brand has recently come back. 

Lolita is a style that started in the 80’s and gets inspiration from the Rococo period. A puffy skirt or frilly outfit doesn’t make it lolita. It has to follow a certain criteria, such as knee length skirt, shoulders covered, modesty, blouse under the dress, petticoat A-line or bell shape, mary jane style shoes, and socks. There are many sub styles in lolita, from country, sweet, vintage, classic, goth, etc. Lolitas also have large online communities all over the world, so makes it easier to find answers to any questions you might have. Such as, can guys wear lolita? Yes! there’s even a male equivalent called ouji. There’s even documentaries you can watch to dive deeper into the fashion, I recommend Sugar coated it was filmed here in California. There are also lolita shops in San Francisco, Paris, and Shanghai. The shops are called Angelic pretty and baby the stars shine bright, the biggest brand names in the lolita community.

Ryousangata (量産型ヲタク) is one of the newest fashion trends in japan. My first look into the fashion was when I went to Shibuya 109 in Tokyo in 2019 and saw store staff wear this fashion. There aren't many english resources about this fashion yet, but my friends in Japan have explained that they like this. Ryousangata kanji literally translates into mass-produced. The style looks uniform, consists of mostly muted colors mostly black,white, pink, checkered, grey or blue. It has a bit of a gothic tone. Lot’s of japanese brands are selling this style right now due to popularity, such as Ank Rouge, Mar*s, Swan kiss, Evelyn and Dear my Love. The fashion is heavily connected to Otaku (Nerds/Geeks) Culture, since most ryousangata girls are Otakus. They can be otakus over anything idols, anime, kpo, etc. The statement they can make with their fashion is your Otaku but can still look cute/Fashionable. Since in Japan there is still a stigma around Otaku(Nerds) culture, because people have bad stereotypes about them. The word Otaku itself is an insult in Japan, and people don't call themselves that. There are also people who are not Otaku who wear fashion too.

The Freedom of Expression Ep 9 - Housewives living in Yamagata prefecture referred to prosecutors for insulting Kawasaki Nozomi.

K: Hi, This is Dir en grey's Kaoru, getting started with another episode of The Freedom of Expression. Joe san,Tasai san, welcome.

J, T: Pleased to be here.

K: Ok, so today's theme, Joe?

J: Yes, lets take a look at this news. 'Insult to Kawasaki Nozomi. "She gives me the creeps". Housewives in Yamagata prefecture referred to prosecutors....

A 39 year old woman from Yamagata and a 45 year old female medical worker from Osaka are being referred to Tokyo area prosecutors by Harajuku police station. According to staff at Harajuku police station, the pair are suspected of exchanging insults like "She gives me the creeps" about Kawasaki on an online public parenting platform between the 8th and 9th of April. They both admit to the charge.'

Just from reading this, being referred to prosecutors for saying 'she gives me the creeps' is a bit..

T: Well, yeh, but if you look in more detail, over three years they actually wrote on this parenting forum stuff like, 'She should miscarry' or ' 'she's creepy', also 'she's insolent', 'lets set fire to her house', *1, quite extreme things.

J: So we don't actually know thier reason for writing this stuff do we?

T: They wanted to send a message to Kawasaki Nozomi's husband's blog, but they were blocked, or unable to do so for some reason, im not sure. This made them angry and they directed thier rage towards his wife.

J: They probably shouldn't target his wife, and getting that upset because they couldn't send a message..I don't really know.

K: Its not very clever, right?

J: Yeah, its really not.

T: Also, 'defamation', I havn't heard this in a while.

J: Yeh, well Kawasaki san probably felt some damage to her honour, and in reality, if they come near her house, its coming close to interference in her business. The police probably thought this kind of 'defamation' was grounds for referrering the case to prosecutors. Another possibility is that  Kawasaki san hired a lawyer, who may have said they same thing....So, this happened on an online forum? I think we talked about this happening with someone else before, but how far can slandering be forgiven? I mean, in this case its being reffered to prosecutors, so, well, when does it become a crime? I think this is a really difficult point. This kind of thing hasn't been made clear in detail, but it may have similar requisites as harassment. But like, how far do you have to go for it to be sexual harassment?, how far to..???*2. This type of thing isn't specified in criminal law. I think this is a problem that will have different interpretations, that will change depending on the information. So, Kaoru, as an artist with your name and face in the public eye, you must get lots of supportive messages. But at the same time, you probably also get some not so supportive messages. How far can you tolerate those? Of course, even one nasty thing can hurt, but what what would you consider worth talking to the police about, for example?

K: Well, I havn't had anything as bad as this, but...???*3 seems creepy to me.

J, T: For sure 

J: And in this case, Kawasaki san hasn't even done anything! She's just in the wrong place. Right from the start its like, 'Why me?!'

K: Yeh, cause she's pregnant isn't she?..with that..its scary isn't it?

J, T: It is.

T: So, Kawasaki san is a former AKB 48 member, and after she quit, she started up her own company and was quite successful, she's been categorized as a winner, there might be people who are jealous of her. But to this extent..?

K: Well, they wrote it thinking that they wouldn't be exposed, didn't they?

T: Do people get exposed?

K, J: They do.

J: But why would they intentionally write this on a public forum? Wouldn't you normally spout your jealousy at a bar or something, after a few drinks?

K: But this is the same as that.

J: They simply write it?

K: I think so.

J: Like a kind of public execution?

K: No, I don't think they are thinking that much about it.

T: I think people need to be more aware of how scary SNS can be.

K: People are writing stuff with no thought, so i also think its ok to ignore it really. Its a person writing wierd stuff off the cuff, its all over...I mean, recently.???? There are tonnes of people writing stuff without thinking. And then people see all these comments just like that...writing just like that, and seeing just like that. Strangely, you need to be able to ...???, and you need to be able to brush it off . You'll still always encounter SNS or online info, thats how I feel about it *4.

J: I see.

T: There have been sucides in Korea, famous people have committed suicide, because they got affected by what people wrote online. So it happens in other countries too.

K: Well, it does affect you, the first time you see it.

J: Well, yes. When I do radio I get called all kinds of names *the others laugh*, recently, ive gotten, '????', to one of my shows. And these people get carried away, right, so it just increases more. They just come out with insult after insult*5, like 'are you still at it?!' ...well, i think, at least they are listening, so im kind of thankful.

K: Yeah, yeah.

J: Like, im just always talking, it could be kinda annoying, so if theres someone out there listening, im grateful. *T laughing*

T: Doesn't it bother you, Joe?

J: Not usually, no. But sometimes they hit in a sensitive spot, right? *K, T laugh*

J: It shouldn't be a big deal ...but....right? Some people will even cry on the train home. Even though it hasn't been a big deal until now, some people will cry about it. Especially if im also having a tough time with work or personal life, it stings.

K: Well, you are only human.

J: Right.

Kami: It happens to me too.

J: Oh, Kami's here.

Kami: Yeah, that happens to me.

T: You're not bothered by that though are you?

J: Yeah, you're a god.

Kami: Well, they say im no big deal, unreliable, or useless or something like that, loads of things are said about me...'you cheater ' and such.

T: *laughs*

J: You cheater?

K: Cheater..? What did he do?

J: Yeah!

K: No, I havn't done anything! I havn't done anything. Maybe its because, they'll give thier shrine donation but I don't do anything in return.

J: Oh, that more like a case of money trasfer fraud in the end?

Kami: Well, yeah.

T: Are you doing well at your part time job   Kami?

Kami: Yeah, im doing well.

J: Are you?

Kami: Yeah, I am, i am.

T: A pseudo account...

K: He's writing on one, right?

Kami: No, if stuff happens to my displeasure, I'll give out bad luck..as a fortune.

K: Did you say, 'I'll give out..' *laughs*

J: Kami, you're scary.

T: He is.

Kami: The people who insult me will go home with bad luck.

J: But there must be people all over the world saying stuff about you..

Kami: Yes, yes, yes.

J: It must be tough to search online for yourself?

Kami: Yes, that is tough.

J: Right?

K: He said once before that he searches for himself online, didn't he?

J: He did..I wonder how many hits you get per day with the god hashtag?

Kami: There are people saying this god is good, or that god is good, or there is only one god, or stuff like that. I don't even know which one they mean.

K: But aren't there many gods, but one in charge, right?

Kami: Who's in charge..im not sure.

*everyone laughs*

J: He doesn't even know?! Maybe you're a cheater because you're not even real?!

Kami: Some people say that about me.

J: Ok, prove to us now that you're real. At least, show us something that you've achieved. If not...if i mention it now, we've never seen you in person since the start, you just came down from the sky, and we just thought you were a god.

K: He just came all of a sudden, right?

J: Right! We've don't even have any proof that you're a god. We've had no choice but to believe you.

Kami: I'll refer it to prosecutors.

J: Eh? What do you mean?

T: Scary!

Kami: As defamation.

*laughing*

J: Oh, if we say stuff about you?

Kami: Yes, yes, its defamation. Bad luck for Joe.

J: Eh? Really? ...by the way, how for would you tolerate people badmouthing you, Kami?

Kami: Badmouthing?

J: Are there any insults where you think, 'This is really awful!'?

Kami: No, the things that are said about me are, im no big deal, that im unreliable, not in existence, or useless. That type of thing..'he's a cheater' and such. 

J: I see.

T: Now that you mention it, thats sometimes said about Tokyo Sports too.

J: Yeahh

T: 'Go under'.

Kami: Yeh, its like Tokyo Sports.

J: Do people really say that to you? But you said before, right? Apart from the date, everthing is false. *everyone laughing*. Thats amazing, you can sell papers and make money like that? Is Tokyo Sports originally just like fake news?

T: Well, people all over the world like a good story don't they?

J: I see. Well, it excells in the field of sports newspapers. Tokyo Sports has tonnes of fans, doesn't it?

T: Yeah

K: Tokyo Sports is like, the different one.

J: Yes, its different.

T: Well, im grateful..

J: Really!

T: On the other hand, we aren't respected. The level of respect we get is really low. *the others laugh* But I want to keep eating, so I'll recommend it.

J: Ah, ok. Are you hiring..at Tokyo Sports?

T: No, not really.

J: You're not?

Kami: A normal newspaper puts articles out, right?

T: Yeah.

Kami: But Tokyo Sports is creative.

J: Ahh, yes. They are stories, right?

Kami: Very much like a god.

J: Tokyo Sports like a god?!

T: Will you come and work for us, Kami?..hourly rate 25% bonus.

J: Ohh, 1250yen!

K: What will you make him do?!

Kami: Hmm, hmmm.

T: He could start with cleaning the toilets.

Kami: A night shift would be more money. *laughs*

J: Kami, how about cleaning Tokyo Sports' toilets?

Kami: It would be an outrageous guy who makes a god clean the toilets.

J: No, that would be the real Toilet God*6.

K: ?!...You were aiming with that!

J: Err, yeh...kinda.

*everyone laughing*

K: It seemed on purpose

J: No, no, it just came to me. I thought it would be too good.

T: You sounded serious.

J:I've been exposed...I took a deep breath before I said it. My shoulders moved.

K: His face looks so camp now....Ok, well, lets finish up here. Err, everyone, please subscribe  to this...show?

J: This channel.

K: Please subscribe to this channel..See you next time.

Reaching out Ch1: Pancakes (ShuAke)

AO3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16988289/chapters/39932553 Title: Reaching out Chapter: 1 Chapter title: Pancakes Pairing: ShuAke (Akira x Akechi) Game: Persona 5  *Spoiler warning* Notes:  So I had the first chapter of this laying around for a long while now, and I remembered I never uploaded it. I hope this will motivate me more to actually continue the series I have in mind! The title might change at some point, because I didn't have much inspiration for it. xD 

It was a fine Sunday just past noon. Goro Akechi was standing in the train, right hand clutching one of the handles hanging from the ceiling, eyes staring blankly through the window in front of him. He appeared to be calm as always. On the inside however, he was close to panicking.

 ‘Do you want to eat pancakes with me this Sunday?’

The guy’s expression had been so perfectly devoid of emotion, his grey eyes just staring at him through his glasses, his face slightly tilting when Goro didn’t reply immediately.

Quickly, he had regained himself, coughing softly before answering with his usual gentle smile. ‘Oh, sure! Excuse me for falling silent, you caught me off guard for a bit. But of course, at what time should we meet?’

His lips had curled into the tiniest of smirks and Goro had tried his hardest to ignore the loud throbbing pain in his chest.

He should have declined him.

For the past few days, Goro had been contemplating over why on earth Akira Kurusu would invite him to eat pancakes, but then it had dawned on him.

He had made a terrible, terrible mistake.

 Akira was going to confront him.

He was going to ask him how he had been able to hear the stupid cat talk that one day at the TV station. About pancakes.

There was almost no time to come up with a good excuse, nor was it a good idea to cancel the appointment.

 So here he found himself, 10 minutes away from their meeting time, on his way to Harajuku, mentally cursing that damned cat.

He wondered if the whole group would be there to confront him.

He wondered if Akira had already figured out everything about his true identity.

This was not how it was supposed to go…

No, it’s okay, it’s not too late yet. Maybe he was worried for nothing. And he could still talk his way out of this.

 These were the thoughts running through his mind as he exited the train and walked towards the station entrance.

It was a good thing he was used to controlling his facial expressions, because the other boy was already waiting for him, his hands nonchalantly pushed in the pockets of his casual blue jeans.

He looked so ordinary like that, a perfect high school student, not too smart, not too good-looking, not too outgoing, not too shy. He looked nothing like the leader of a criminal group that called themselves the Phantom Thieves. But he couldn’t let his guard down.

Not that Goro ever did that around anyone, anyways.

 ‘Hello there,’ he said and watched observingly how Akira reacted to the sound of his greeting. He stopped leaning against the wall and locked their eyes together.

‘I hope I didn’t make you wait too long…’

The other teen shook his head. ‘Shall we get going?’

Oh great, straight to business. There was no doubt in Goro’s mind that the boy was going to confront him. It was a good thing that they were the only ones there. He didn’t think he could have handled the two loud blondies and the eccentric artist staring him down as well.

 The walk towards the cafe was silent and awkward, and Goro found himself often glancing next to him, but Akira’s gaze wasn’t even once fixed on him. Only looking straight ahead.

‘So, what made you invite me out for pancakes all of a sudden?’ Goro forced himself to ask, putting a carefree smile on his face.

‘No real reason,’ Akira said. ‘I just felt like it, is all.’

A slightly nervous chuckle escaped Goro’s lips. ‘It’s unusual for you to think of me, then. I must say I feel honoured though, I never imagined you would want to spend time with me like this.’

‘Think of it as a date.’

The words were so misplaced that Goro wasn’t sure whether he had misheard them.

‘Excuse me?’

Akira’s eyes were locked with his, and for a long while they were as empty of emotion as ever, until that grin started teasing the corners of his mouth and small sparkles of light emerged within the depths of grey. ‘It’s a date,’ he once again said.

Goro coughed and had to look away. The weather was quite hot today.

‘You shouldn’t joke about those things, Kurusu-kun.’

‘Well, what if I said it’s no joke?’

Akira stopped suddenly, giving him no time to answer his question.

‘We’re here.’

Goro looked up, cursing the boy for making him feel like a helpless mouse in the claws of a merciless cat – playing with him to his heart’s content until finishing him off. Why couldn’t he just cut the nonsense already and get straight to the point?

 Then, he really looked, and he noticed they were in front of a shop called Luna Café; its name was written in elegant letters on the building and on the sign in front of it. Outside, it didn’t look that special. However, Goro knew it was famous for its gigantic pancakes and it was a place he had always wanted to visit but never got the chance to.

‘Are we going inside or not?’ Akira asked, his eyebrows raised.

‘Ah, yes, of course.’

 Akira smirked and went first, opening the door. Goro waited for him to enter until he realised the other boy was actually holding the door open for him.

‘What are you waiting for?’ he even asked.

Couldn’t he just erase that fucking grin of his?! Goro wanted nothing more than to punch it off his face but of course there was no way he could do that, so he quickly stepped past him, inside.

Of course, the other boy just had to move way too close to him in the process of closing the door, to the point that he could almost feel his breath.

This goddamn thief-

 He had been so wrong about feeling relieved he didn’t bring his friends along. Oh, how he wished that the Phantom Thieves had just ganged up on him in a dark alley instead. That would’ve been much better than this- this torture. The leader was toying with him, making him weak and embarrassed, tearing his perfect mask to shreds while he was looking.

 It didn’t help that the word good-looking had crossed his mind a few minutes earlier, even if he had labelled Akira as average.

Even so, he was now associating it with him.

Reconsidering his earlier judgment.

That beautiful ugly smirk of his didn’t help at all.

He couldn’t let him though.

 So he let out a cough and turned around, the serene smile again planted on his face.

‘That was very gentlemanly of you, Kurusu-kun,’ he remarked. ‘Shouldn’t you save that gesture for a pretty lady that’s on your mind, however?’

‘There’s only a pretty boy on my mind,’ Akira said before turning around to let the waitress know he wanted a table for two.

Goro almost bit his lip – almost. That fucker.

Just in time he managed to keep his facial expression from changing.

He was 100 percent certain now that Akira was toying with him to make him stumble, make mistakes.

He would probably start asking questions the moment he was convinced Goro was completely at his mercy.

 Goro wouldn’t let him. He would win this strange battle no matter what.

His mission was going to succeed after all.

He would wipe away all obstacles in front of him.

And the Phantom Thieves were the biggest of them all.

 The waitress showed them to their table and Goro quickly buried himself in the menu. Besides pancakes, the shop also had things like burgers, salads, curry, and many more dishes, actually. But the one thing Goro had wanted to come here for-

 There it was. The so-called ‘mountain pancakes’. They were enormous, packed with all kinds of fruit and whipped cream. On the pictures in the menu they looked absolutely marvellous, and they probably wouldn’t be as good in real life, but Goro had still been wanting to try those since he read about them in a magazine a few years ago. Now he was finally here, with his supposed to be enemy, but heck, he was going to take advantage of it.

 ‘Should we order one of those for the two of us? Which one do you want, Akechi-kun?’

Goro felt his heart jump a little in surprise at the sound of Akira calling his name, he wasn’t sure anymore whether he had done that before. It sounded strange.

‘One?’ he heard himself ask.

‘Yes. Don’t you know? Supposedly, those mountain pancakes are meant for two people,’ Akira explained. ‘Which one do you want?’

‘But I could easily finish one by myself.’

Goro didn’t realise he was pouting until a pleasant warm-hearted laugh filled his ears. It came from Akira. A little shocked, he shot a glance at his companion who was laughing in such a genuine way it made Goro wonder if it really was a fake one. It sounded too real. And it was beautiful.

The other boy was now covering his mouth with the back of his hand, his cheeks a little bit red as if he was embarrassed.

‘I’m sorry, Akechi-kun, that was just so adorable I couldn’t help myself.’

Once again Goro felt his blood rising towards his cheeks, racing, pounding and making his head feel dizzy.

‘So what do you want to do, get one for each of us?’ Akira was staring at him, still smiling. It was so different from his usual smirk that Goro still had trouble getting a hold of himself.

‘Errr, ehm, no one is fine, I think. Is-isn’t that more for couples though?’

Ah, the smirk was back.

‘There’s two of us here, doesn’t that make us a couple?’

That bastard.

‘Well, I suppose you’re not wrong about that. Well then. On one condition – we’ll take the one with mixed fruit and whipped cream.’

‘Roger that.’

 After the waitress took their order, Goro quietly observed Akira from the corners of his eyes. He looked pretty relaxed for someone who was going to interrogate a person on a very serious topic. Then again, this guy was probably never nervous, at least not visibly.

 He wondered why he was going through the hassle of coming all the way here, wasting money on expensive pancakes even though the only purpose of this meeting was to confirm the fact that they were enemies.

It was probably part of his plan to make his mask crumble, and judging by the reckless remark Goro had made just now, it was working out perfectly.

He really was hopeless.

 ‘So, tell me something?’ Akira suddenly asked him.

It had been quiet for a while now so Goro looked up, surprised. ‘Eh, me? What do you want to hear? Something about the Phantom Thief case?’

‘Nah,’ Akira waved his words away. ‘Something about you. That’s why I invited you after all.’

Aha, there. It was starting.

Two could play this game, however.

‘Oh, honestly, there’s not much to call interesting about me, you know. Beside my detective work, I’m a very boring high school student trying hard not to get behind on his studies.’

‘You have a girlfriend? Boyfriend?’

A nervous chuckle escaped Goro’s throat before he could stop it. Damnit. ‘Oh please, Kurusu-kun, I hardly have time for something like that.’

‘You can call me Akira, you know,’ the other boy beamed.

‘That…’

‘You don’t have many friends, do you?’

An empty laugh sounded, and Goro only vaguely registered it was his. ‘Someone as unwanted as me doesn’t really have friends.’

There it was. Goro wished he could turn back time right there, but there was no point in desiring the impossible.

 As much as Goro wanted someone to listen to and understand his story, it was a terrible idea to let that someone be Akira Kurusu, the leader of the Phantom Thieves, whom were his worst obstacle disturbing him from reaching his long planned goal. After all, what he wanted to achieve was in order to get revenge on the demons of his past, that had brought this misery upon him in the first place, and move on afterwards. Besides, this wasn’t the first time he let something about his past slip to this boy. He shouldn’t have visited Leblanc so often, even if it had been for the purpose of keeping an eye on Akira.

 ‘Why do you call yourself that?’ Akira asked.

‘Because that’s what I am.’ He forced himself to smile at the other boy. In the process, he could see the complicated expression on his face. Goro considered himself to be quite good at reading people, but he was unable to identify the look in his eyes.

 Luckily, the conversation was cut off by the waitress presenting their dishes and drinks to them.

‘Thank you for waiting,’ she smiled before putting two black coffees in front of them, followed by a mountain of pancake, fruit and cream.

It was so delicious looking that it immediately claimed all of Goro’s attention. It turned out he had been too pessimistic – the picture on the menu didn’t even do it justice. Never in his life had Goro cast his eyes upon something so delicious looking. The enormous plate was decorated with different kinds of fruit to the sides; strawberries, kiwi, melon, grapes, mango… And in the middle of it stood the tower of pancakes proudly, between every single pancake was cream and fruit spread out. On the top of it all, a proud swirl of whipped cream stood, surrounded by fruit and a few mint leaves.

 ‘This… This looks fantastic,’ he sputtered.

‘It’s almost too beautiful to eat, isn’t it?’ Akira said. To Goro’s surprise, the other boy was staring at it in awe, his attention finally fixed on something different from teasing him.

‘What, are you crazy?’ Goro found himself grinning. He grabbed a fork, dipped it in that splendid tower of whipped cream and shoved it in his mouth. The cream itself was already delicious – he couldn’t wait to try it out in combination with the pancakes.

Akira let out a tiny shocked sound, making Goro look at him in wonder.

‘You destroyed it!’

He looked so utterly offended that Goro couldn’t hold back his laughter. It was hilarious – the always so impassive looking guy, completely losing his perfect poker face to the fact that someone else took the first bite of pancake before he was done admiring it.

 Laughing felt strange.

Goro wasn’t sure when had been the last time he had laughed genuinely like this. He had forgotten what it was like to not force a smile because it was appropriate to the situation, but to just let it out because something inside his belly was itching, tickling him with a thousand feathers.

‘Hey, hey, don’t laugh at me,’ Akira said at some point, quasi-upset (Goro could tell because the corners of his mouth were twitching, desperately wanting to curl up in a smile), as he quickly put some strawberries in his mouth, just before pricking the very first piece of pancake with his fork.

‘That’s unfa-!’ Goro started, for not just the first time today voicing his thoughts immediately before sorting them out. However, he was unable to finish his sentence, since Akira had just shoved his pancake containing fork past Goro’s lips.

 There were two conflicting thoughts now running through his mind, as he watched Akira flashing him an ear to ear grin, but tasted the pancake he’d been wanting to eat for ages now at the same time.

Goro blinked a few times, as if that would clear up his mind, but it didn’t. It only made him realize that only a few seconds earlier, the very same fork had touched Akira’s lips when he ate the strawberries. And that didn’t help.

 Akechi Goro hated blushing.

The pancake was so good though.

 He swallowed. ‘Tha-what, why, I mean, that was good.’

Akira’s grin changed into a smile as he watched Goro, head rested in the palm of his right hand.

Then, while Goro took a sip of his coffee – that wasn’t even half as good as Leblanc’s –, Akira took another piece of pancake and put it in his own mouth.

‘You’re still going to use that? I mean you can have mine I didn’t use it yet and-’

The other boy winked at him and Goro quickly drank some more of his coffee before he started blurting out more nonsense.

 This wasn’t going well.

He had to stop.

Think.

Akira was winning here.

 It was just a matter of time before he would start asking questions, and considering the weird half-relaxed state Goro was in right now, there was a high chance he’d spill some information that wasn’t meant for a Phantom Thief’s ears.

So Goro took a deep breath, ate some more from the absolutely delicious pancake and tried to recollect himself.

 They ate in silence, leaving Goro wondering why the other had stopped talking. Wasn’t that supposed to be his strategy? Catching him off guard by teasing him and asking weird questions?

Goro watched him sip his coffee. The pancake mountain was almost gone, most of it because of Goro’s doing. He took another bite and chewed carefully as he weighed his options.

‘So, when are you going to tell me the real reason why you invited me?’ he finally asked after swallowing.

 Akira just turned to look at him for a bit, face blank as if he didn’t understand what Goro was talking about. ‘The real reason?’ he then echoed, right before he threw a smirk in Goro’s direction.

‘I’ll tell you later. Maybe.’

At that, Goro couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Why? Was he scared they would make a scene in the café? So he wanted to wait until they were outside again? That seemed like the most logical reason. Then why did he stop trying to break Goro’s mask down?

He didn’t understand.

Goro didn’t understand Akira Kurusu and it frustrated him more than he wished to admit.

‘Have you had enough?’ Akira asked, nodding at the remaining bit of the pancake tower.

‘Yes. You haven’t had much, take it if you like,’ Goro smiled.

‘I must be special, receiving pancakes from you that you could’ve eaten yourself.’ Akira took a bite and looked at him innocently.

‘It’s only because I’m full, you know.’

Akira swallowed. ‘Ohhh, really now? Mister I could easily finish one by myself?’

‘I could still do that, but I’m polite, you haven’t had much yet.’

‘Aha! Which means I am special!’ Akira grinned in a triumphant way, putting one more pancake piece in his mouth just after winking at him quickly.

Goro just let out a sigh and drank the last bit of his coffee, but it was a little hard to resist the itch in the corners of his mouth, that desperately wanted to form his lips into a smile.

 It was strange spending time with this guy, because Goro honestly couldn’t remember ever having a sensation like this before. It’s true that he didn’t have many friends, like Akira guessed earlier. In fact, he never had friends at all. Which was only natural for an unwanted child like him. There was no place for him in this world.

 Then why, did this boy made him feel like he might? If only a tiny bit?

It was probably his mind playing tricks on him, because there was no way.

 Akira Kurusu was a Phantom Thief after all. The leader of the Phantom Thieves, on top of that.

So as soon as this weird day was over, he was going to return to his normal life, with only his goal in mind, there was no need for him to get too close to others. He would return to keeping an eye on the Phantom Thief leader, but not in an unnecessary way.

Would Akira ask for the incident at the TV station after all, he would make up an excuse on the spot. He should be able to do that.

 ‘Shall we walk back to the station?’ Akira then asked and Goro agreed to it.

While walking back, they spoke casually about school and other daily matters. There was no sign the other boy was going to ask him about the stupid cat, and with each passing moment, Goro got more confused about what the reason of them meeting today had been. So when they were about to part at Shibuya station, he couldn’t hold his curiosity anymore.

‘So-’ he started, and immediately Akira turned to look at him in an amused way. His grey eyes were slightly beaming again, and there was a tiny smile playing with the corners of his lips, only a shadow of his typical grin.

‘I am still curious why you invited me today,’ Goro said.

‘You certainly don’t give up easily,’ Akira said. ‘Were you thinking about it all this time?’

‘That-’

‘I wonder what kind of reason you came up with by yourself, because it seemed to bother you quite a lot.’

‘I…’

Akira was coming closer and Goro wasn’t quite aware of the fact that he took a few steps backwards in the process, until his back suddenly found himself against the wall.

Still, the other boy came closer, and then they were only a few inches apart.

 Goro didn’t know where to look. Was he going to attack him after all? In the middle of Shibuya station? He quickly glanced past Akira, only to find nobody was paying attention to them. It was a crowded station after all. So that’s why…

‘Kurusu-kun…’ he started, trying to form the words in his head before saying the out loud, but it was strangely hard to concentrate when their eyes were locked together like this. Once again those tiny little lights were dancing within his eyes, and they were now so close that Goro could see them in such a detailed way. It was distracting him. It was a pity his glasses were in the way.

‘Didn’t I tell you to call me Akira?’

Then, Akira moved, and his lips touched Goro’s cheek so shortly he found himself wondering whether it had been an illusion. Judging by his own heated face and Akira’s close to perfect smirk it hadn’t.

‘There’s your reason,’ Akira said. ‘Let’s leave it at that. I’ll explain it to you if we go on another date later.’

He winked at him, and then just walked away like nothing had happened, hands in his pockets, being swallowed by the masses of Shibuya. Just an ordinary high school student.

Causing Goro’s heart to ache in a way he had never experienced before.

Pretty: Soft and Sweet (Part two)

Rating: Teen and up

Fandom: Ouran High School Host Club

Relationships: Kyoya & Tamaki, mentioned unrequited KyoTama

Trigger Warnings: Anorexia, Emaciation, Illness

Summary: Tamaki had to wonder... What was even the problem? It was all too vague to him, really.

Other works in this series: Part one

Tamaki was rather pleased with how successful the cosy theme had been, especially as Kaoru had most of the creative control for the first time. He was rather pleased with his jumper and skinny jeans, feeling relaxed and comfortable, which only seemed to rub off on the guests. Tamaki’s idea of success differed slightly from Kyoya’s, his best friend focussing more on financial benefit rather than the brightness of the girls’ smiles, but it’d do his friend a disservice to act like he didn’t care at all. Because he did. Kyoya liked people to be happy, he just didn’t like showing off those virtues, choosing the guise of a money-grubbing asshole.

Being in charge of the host club’s budget was also a factor, considering how much the club spent on the aesthetic and atmospheric pieces for every theme. It was partly why the back room/dressing room/prop cupboard was such a mess. They’d all tried to go through it and actually mark down some sort of inventory, but it soon went to hell again. Still, Kaoru managed to save some money by buying their outfits while he was in Harajuku with Hikaru and their mother, so Kyoya wasn’t having a heart attack.

Speaking of the other boy, Tamaki paused while making some herbal tea to stare at Kyoya, curled up on the sofa with his notebook on his lap, his tablet beside him, all the while nursing a hot cup of coffee. The sweater paws he had from the overly big jumper shielded his hands from the hot china, as well as adding to the cosy effect, and it seemed that a group of animated, very happy girls found it adorable. Still, there were a few things that made him feel… uncomfortable.

“Look how thin he is, I’m so jealous!”

Kyoya had started sitting down to observe the hosts because his legs hurt, the same reason that their gym teacher had prohibited him from taking part. Looking at Kyoya in that outfit, ghostly pale skin between the top of the thigh highs and the pink miniskirt, it was no wonder why. His legs were willowy, almost reminiscent of a new born deer, and it was more obvious than ever just how thin Kyoya was. Not that Tamaki didn’t know, not with Kyoya’s skeletal hands and blue tinted nails, but it was almost like a slap in the face. He really had to start pushing Kyoya to eat more, they did spent a lot of time together, and friends helped friends.

“Mommy dear, have I told you how soft and sweet you look in that outfit?” He inquired, voice melodic, and they could both hear the girls squeal. They knew how to play this game, after all. Kyoya’s feelings for him had been genuine at one point, it’d been talked out and things cleared up; there was nothing wrong with a little fanservice, but not too much.

“Will I still look soft and sweet with my hands around your neck?” Kyoya teased, although he did put the cup of coffee on the table in front of him, “Can I help you, or do you need to go back to your clients, like a gentleman.”

“I just wanted to see if you wanted to come over for dinner,” He shrugged, light and airy, trying to distract from how serious he felt about the matter, “Shima misses you being there, says that you’re a good influence on my table manners – not that there’s anything wrong with them.”

“Says the guy who started drinking ramen broth straight out of the bowl like a dog…” Was the response, to which Tamaki stuttered out something barely resembling a sentence, meaning something along the lines of that’s how you’re meant to do it, and you know that. He knew teasing was just that, the undercurrent of satisfaction he got from Kyoya’s genuine smile helped clear away some of his indignance, “I’d love to Tamaki, but I can’t.”

Tamaki swallowed thickly, eying how Kyoya’s shoulders shook slightly, as if he were cold. Or scared, although that possibility was soon tossed out; someone like Kyoya wouldn’t get scared over a dinner invitation, after all. Still, he wasn’t aware of any plans, even if Kyoya did have a life outside of the host club. Something about it wouldn’t leave his chest, however; clogging up his heart and lungs and itching under his skin.

“How come?” He inquired, an attempt at a casual question that didn’t come out quite right. Still, it wasn’t like asking was out of character for him, and so Kyoya Ootori actually took the bait. Those thin fingers rubbed over bloodshot eyes, underlined with dark shadows, and he let out a breath that seemed to – if possible – make him seem even more exhausted.

“I have homework to complete before tomorrow,” Kyoya explained, picking up his coffee once more, jumper sleeves pulled over his hands, “I fell asleep too early last night and didn’t finish, I’d rather not fail because you wished to wine and dine me.”

“You fell asleep?!” Tamaki scoffed, an incredulous look crossing his face for a moment, “Kyoya Ootori fell asleep before completing work? I know you, Kyoya; you’d be doing our English assignment on your deathbed, it’s how you are –”

“Tamaki, quiet,” Kyoya hissed, cutting Tamaki’s rant off and bringing a hand to his head with a wince, “You’re causing a scene and giving me a headache. The girls are waiting anyway, so go. Shoo.”

Tamaki let out something all too close to a growl, frustrated and unsure what to do, fear licking at the back of his rational thought. Well, now he knew something was wrong. It was so certainly, seriously wrong and he didn’t even know the full problem. Although, something did come to him later, which almost made him drop a slice of cake right in a client’s lap.

Kyoya’s family was full of doctors, so why did he just seem to grow sicker?

BTS Harajuku Sweets Party Compliment Relay 

♡ The other members parts have already been translated a lot so I left it out  ♡

Yoongi ➻ Seokjin Yoongi: I really like Jin Hyung’s face. Jin: For the 5th year, it’s my face. Joon: Since we always compliment his face say something else. Yoongi: I like his image when he’s playing games. Joon: What about that do you like? Hoseok: He must really have nothing to say. Jin: That’s so new! Very new! It’s hard to compliment this side of someone. Tae: But being handsome when you’re gaming is hard. Jin: When gaming one is bare face. Yoongi: You’d know if you ever played a game with him but he’s very kind. Jin: I never get mad. Yoongi: I’m really terrible but he never gets mad. It’s obvious that I’m not doing well but he never gets mad. Jin: it’s because I’m kind in general. Tae: When you put it all together it means you have a nice personality.

Seokjin ➻ Namjoon Jin: When it comes to work his sensibility is exceptional. When I see the lyrics he writes I often think “how can he write like this?”. Starting from my solo song awake, hasn’t he written so many of our songs? When I see those I think “how far does his sensibility go?” Hoseok: For this album as well he wrote lyrics for almost the whole thing. Jungkook: He is such an amazing person. Jimin: when I read what he wrote I think, “what has he gone through in his life that he can write like this?”.

Namjoon ➻ Jungkook Joon: I’ll compliment something that hasn’t been complimented yet. These days I listen to a part of our album I’m hooked onto and his singing has really improved. Hoseok: That’s right, he said that to me on our way. Jungkook: When he sings, compared to others he has less emotions. He has received criticisms liek this before. But now I don’t know what has exploded (I hear him say 폭발) but he has been putting so much emotion into it. I was really surprised. Hobi said to me that Jimin has really improved as well. Hoseok: What do we do about V and Jin!? You guys are obviously the best. Tae: *motions Yoongi to compliment him* Yoongi: Taehyung seems like he has improved as well and Jin has always been good. Jimin: I always compliment Jin about his voice. You know that I’m serious. Joon: I really like Jin’s part in ‘The Truth Untold’

ES Spectre 2.0 Chapter 38

[ferocity-flynt]

i saw ur "versailles insp" tag and was intrigued and ended going thru a majority of the tag, so plz tell me abt ur oc

Hi yes hello!!!!! I’m thrilled that you’re intrigued by her!! and I am happy to talk about her, she’s such a fun oc I love her so much,,,

Gonna put it all under a readmore!

So, once upon a time my pals and I were playin a Vampire: The Requiem trpg. Of course, our characters were gonna be vampires. 

Well. I’m a Jerk and I like to play with tropes by smooshing two unlike character tropes together (I do this for most of my trpg chars in some way) and so I thought. Well. Vampires are usually ~edgy~ and ~dark~ so what if I went the total opposite and went like, Hot Pink Glitter Girl Vampire. What would that look like. And of course, I use the poster girl for this aesthetic as my inspiration: Paris Hilton.

So Versailles Wyndham is basically Vampire Paris Hilton (ex: her name. Versailles is a city in France, Paris is a city in France; Wyndham is a hotel chain, Hilton is a hotel chain). Or. She was supposed to be. As I started building her skills and abilities and backstory she became a little more serious than her intended parody and I’m so, so glad. 

So Versailles is a glamour girl movie star who has accomplished pretty big fame in her universe. And, as an actress going into her thirties, the effects of aging have an effect on her entire life and lifestyle. So she’s spent her whole career so aware of her own mortality that, when offered eternal youth by some shady guy at a gala one night, she’s interested enough to accept. (She was born into the Ventrue clan, one that is filled with ambitious vampiric socialites and royals with powers to read and control minds. Pretty neat stuff. She also can read and control minds.) She was summoned along with some other local vampires of varying clans and ages and abilities to rescue some local hotshot and ended up getting tangled in Fey nastiness. During the entire campaign she did absolutely nothing noteworthy or useful (not for lack of my trying, it should be noted) and it was incredible. 

She also made her dogs immortal as well. She can talk to them via her vampiric powers and they are bffs. Their names are Harajuku Bitch, named after one of Paris’s dogs, along with Frederick and Bruiser. They are all chihuahuas.

Some Shit She’s Done:

-taken a chihuahua to a bank heist-tipped an uber driver like, $100-paid $1000 for a lapdance she didn’t care for just to get information (it didn’t work)-tried to befriend an otherworldly abomination baby only to freak the Hell out and go into a Frenzy, despite her ungodly Resolve and Composure ranks-got bailed out of arrest by actual Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart-played the silent treatment with a changeling who wanted to turn her into furniture

Shit She Hasn’t Done:

-anything useful at all, really

Other fun things I’m developing for her include a twin sister named Florence who is a super edgy goth vampire hunter who owns black borzois. That’s all I got on that rn, though.

Thank you for asking about her, I love her so much and I hope you enjoyed this kind of haphazard description of my wonderful terrible character whom i love deeply

Genuine

Pairing: Reader x Yuta Nakamoto

Genre: fluff, slight angst

Word Count: 2k

Summary: You’re the new transfer student and you close yourself off from everyone else. But, still, Yuta is drawn to you.

Yuta knew that he wanted to talk to you as soon as you entered the room. Not only because you were wearing a Harajuku style backpack that reminded him of home but because you were pretty and you seemed like you were his type.

But you were quiet. He didn't know whether it was because you were shy or if you were one of those people that avoided human interaction at all costs.

You were a transfer student and it was your first day. When you introduced yourself as Y/N, he could hardly hear you and the teacher made you repeat it. Your cheeks immediately got a little darker in color. And you said, louder, “My name is Y/N.”

And the class greeted you enthusiastically. He could tell that you were surprised by it since you flinched. Maybe other people didn't notice but he did. And then you rushed toward the back of the classroom, putting your things in your locker before sitting in the seat you were assigned.

Yuta sat in the middle row of the classroom while you sat in the back. He was tempted to turn around and look at you but he didn't want to draw attention to himself. He wondered what you were doing back there while your teacher went over math formulas and equations. Were you paying attention? Were you playing in your hair? Were you taking notes? Did you understand? Were you good at math at all?

He sat, taking in the morning lesson and occasionally taking notes before the bell rang to signal that it was lunch time. His friend, Soobin, approached him. She usually did this after class was over, so that they could walk over to the cafeteria together. But today, he told her to go ahead and that he was going to stay behind and finish one of the examples they went over. Yuta wasn't good at math but he was a perfectionist. And for him to do something like this was normal.  He got the problem right but Soobin didn't need to know that. He was staying behind because you hadn't gotten up from your desk.

He couldn't see what you were doing but he heard you shuffling through papers. There were still a few girls that lingered behind at the lockers, gossiping. He heard bits and pieces of what they were saying. It was something about Seungwoo, the class president. He was one of those guys that everyone was in love with except he didn't seem to be interested in any of them. Yuta found it funny to watch girls throw themselves at him and get rejected. And he'd do it so nicely that the girls would get so frustrated.

From his peripheral vision, he saw you stand up. The girls made their way out of the classroom. Yuta and Y/N were alone. He took the opportunity to close his notebook and he stood up too. When he turned around, you were at your locker putting your things away.

Yuta thought he would introduce himself. From his understanding, you didn't talk to or meet anyone yet. He wanted to invite you to sit with him and his friends. He knew what it was like to be the new student. His father relocated their family to Korea because of his job. At first he hated it and wanted to go back to Japan. He'd never forget that summer. He spent most of it bored and missing his friends back in Osaka. But when school started, he decided to be social. It had been easier for him because he was more outgoing. But you were different, much more shy. He didn't want you to have a hard time.

He went over to his locker, opening it. You didn't look up, not even once. He could've been a serial killer, for all she knew. That was dramatic, but still. When it was clear that you weren't going to acknowledge him, even after staring, he said hi to you.

“Hey,” he said. “My name’s Yuta.”

You nodded. “Nice to meet you…”

But that was all you said. And it seemed that that was going to be the only thing he'd get out of you. So he added, “Do you want to meet my friends? We can sit together for lunch.”

“Er, no thank you…”

And you rushed out of the classroom, slinging your bag over one shoulder. He stood there, completely in shock, as he watched your retreating figure disappear out of the door and around the corner. He had never quite met anyone who was afraid of talking to him.

Was it him? Was it something he did? Did he come on too strong? He thought that he was just being friendly but apparently his friendliness was a red light for Y/N.

So he went to the cafeteria. He found Soobin and his other friend, Sangmin, sitting at the table with them. He placed his tray on the table, scanning the room for a few minutes to see if he spotted you. But he didn't. During lunch, he kept looking for you. But he didn't find you. You never came down for lunch.

From what he could tell, it seemed like you were avoiding him. To be fair, you seemed to be avoiding everyone. But whenever he looked at you, you'd quickly look the other way. You avoided eye contact with him and you certainly didn't try to talk to him.

There were some girls that tried to approach her, to be friends. They were nice girls; they weren't mean or catty. But she rejected it. And the girls brushed her off as “strange.” He couldn't blame them. After all, you were acting sort of strange. He could understand not being very social but did you not want at least one friend? Was no one good enough?

The bell rang for lunch a couple days after his first attempt to talk to you; he hadn't tried to talk to you again. He didn't know how. So he left it alone.

You practically ran out of the classroom after the bell rang. By the time Yuta looked toward your desk, you were already gone. You were gone with the wind.

Your phone vibrated in your pocket and you pulled it out, checking the notification. It was a text in the group message with you and people from your class.

Hana: I just found an article. Turns out Y/N’s dad is a crook...

Minseo: Is that why she’s acting so weird?

Kyungjae: That’s crazy!

Hana was one of the girls in the class that fed off of drama. She lived for it and constantly spread it. It was as if she couldn't help herself. If there was ever any drama, expect for Hana to be either in the middle of it or watching from the sidelines.

Hana sent the link to an article. Yuta clicked on it. According to the article, Y/N’s father stole money from the company he was working in. The article didn't say why or how but Yuta sort of understood your behavior now. You didn't want to do anything to draw attention to yourself. Was that why you transferred? Did your former classmates give you a hard time at your old school?

Yuta wondered if you knew that people found out about her past. What kind of impact would it have? Had Hana spread the article around school? If so, by the end of the day the whole class would know. Other classes, too.

Yuta didn't want people to get the wrong idea. With a sigh, he went off to see if he could find you. He checked the library, the halls, the art studio, the gym, and he even asked girls coming out of the bathroom if you were there. You didn't seem to be anywhere.

He decided that he'd sit outside. That was when he spotted you on the bleachers around the field outside. He must've overlooked you before or maybe you just got there. The field was empty; everyone was eating. You had earphones in and you were eating a sandwich, it seemed.

You didn't hear him approaching and were completely taken aback when he plopped down next to you. He assumed that you'd go running, like you always did. But you didn't. You just pushed your hair behind your ear and finished eating your sandwich.

This continued for three more days. You would sit on the bleachers, side by side, eating sandwiches for lunch. He didn't talk to you and you didn't talk to him either. He had to ease you into a friendship first. He needed to gain your trust first. It seemed like it was working. After the first day, he assumed that you wouldn't be there but you stayed.

He was pleasantly surprised that you were sitting in the same spot, eating your lunch in silence. He was more and more surprised with each day.

One day, while sitting in silence with you, he said, “I'm not a jerk. I'm a good person.” You didn't say anything but you did look up. “I heard about what happened but I don't care about your past. I want to be your friend.”

You turned to him, making eye contact with him. “Really?”

He shot you a genuine smile. No one had done that to you in a long time. Most smiles were fake, ones of pity. And you were tired of that. You had enough of that at your old school, where the girls would watch their belongings. They assumed that because your father had stolen, that you must be a thief, too. The friends that you had slowly faded away, not wanting to be seen with you because you were the daughter of a criminal.

What happened wasn't your fault. What your father did was stupid. He shouldn't have taken things so far. But he was trying to pay off debt. Debt that you didn't even know that there was. He kept it hidden, quietly paying them off. Until he got caught.

The police came to your dad’s office, confiscating everything. You were in the dark. Until the day they came and went through your father’s office. They knocked everything over and dug through everything, taking files and the computer. You and your mother stood helplessly in the corner while your mother cried. Your father confessed everything once they left. A few days later, he was arrested.

That's when your life fell apart and your mother sent you here, figuring that it would be better to live with your grandmother and change schools. She hoped that the drama wouldn't follow you. But it did. That girl in your class, Hana, made sure to ask you if your father really stole money from such a big company. You ignored her, though. You weren't about to be bullied again.

Yuta said, “I'm serious. I will be a good friend to you. I promise.”

You spent your life living off of people’s empty promises. Your father promised you that everything would be okay when you visited him in jail. But it wasn't. You were struggling with life when you didn't do anything. Should you believe this random person? Could you trust him?

He said, “I like you.”

“How do you like me when we’ve hardly spoken?”

“When you like someone, you just know.” He stood up from the bleachers, offering his hand. “I want to ask you on a proper date someday, but I want to be a friend to you first.”

No one had pursued you this hard before without giving up. Even a bully would've given up by now. But Yuta was persistent, determined to have some sort of relationship with you. You didn't know what to think of it. To be honest, you were surprised. You were surprised that he came to the bleachers every day. You missed having friends, so you let him sit with you. You didn't exchange words but it was comforting for someone to be there.

You took his hand and he pulled you up. He shot you a wide, toothy smile. It was the first time you'd seen him smile. He had a beautiful smile, you had to admit.

For the first time in a couple weeks, you felt like you could finally trust someone. And for the first time since this whole ordeal, someone was able to bring a genuine smile to your face.

Suda Masaki’s ‘All Night Nippon’ radio show, Aug 21st, 2017 (feat. Kento) (episode 20)

☞ v long awaited translation that’s 2 weeks too late but better late than never right??! hope u enjoy it’s long af bc the show is 2 hours long um i divided it into 8 parts so its like baby chapters & you can pretend you’re reading a book or something. i also added audio links to some parts of the conversation as “(listen)” bc 1 audio is needed in some parts bc it wont make sense, 2 some parts were funny & 3 they’re cute as hell. so go grab some popcorn and your favorite beverage or s/ cuz i’m warning you it’s v long. enjoy!! 

Part 1: Where and how did they meet?

❋ Masaki started the show talking about summer vacation and the weather. After a while he read some fan mail demanding him to bring Kento already. One of the fan mail was rlly fuckin weird and basically the girl was begging for Kento to go on and I guess she was moaning??? (WTF), so of course, because Masaki is Masaki he read it while moaning, which eventually lead him to introduce Kento. (listen to masaki moaning at your own risk) ❋

Masaki: This is Yamazaki Kento, everybody!!!!

Kento: *starts moaning* I’m sorry to have kept you guys waiting. I’m Yamazaki Kento, your leader and saviour, and I’ll be in your care today. (again, listen to kento moaning at your own risk. disclaimer! its grosser than masaki’s)

Masaki: Hey, are you okay? What did your manager tell you earlier?

Kento: Hmm… before I came here he told me, “I believe in you.”

Masaki: Won’t you get in trouble for what you just did?

Kento: I think it’s fine. I haven’t actually said anything bad.

Masaki: Oh, okay. Well, when was the first time we met each other?

Kento: I think it was when I was 16 years old at the set of the movie ‘Kirin no Tsubasa’.

Masaki: Oh, yeah. But why did we get closer after that? From what I remember, after that I went to a baseball field where there were a lot of actors playing and you were there. That day you were wearing a New Era cap with a short sleeved t-shirt and shorts and you were wearing Hello Kitty sandals, and you came up to me and asked me, “Suda-san, what kinds of clothes should I wear?”

Kento: Yup.

Masaki: I think that that conversation was when we actually met and I thought to myself, “Wow he’s so adorable” And I responded to you telling you that you had a great body and your face was cute so you didn’t have to worry and that you should just wear simple clothes.

Kento: Yeah, I agree.

Masaki: What?

Kento: I have a great body and my face is cute. I’m an amazing person.

Masaki: *laughs* You’re right. How long ago was that?

Kento: I was wearing really hideous clothes back then and Suda-kun was so fashionable. I was even wearing a Hello Kitty New Era cap that I had gotten from a friend.

Masaki: Where do they even sell a Hello Kitty New Era cap?

Kento: Maybe in Harajuku?

Masaki: Oh, okay, so that’s how we met.

Kento: And then yeah, I thought you were very fashionable. I used to think to myself, “Why am I the only one wearing Hello Kitty?”. So I went up to you and told you, “I want to buy clothes.” I think that’s how it all started.

Masaki: Oh, yeah. After that, your manager was mad at me for taking you around.

Kento: Right. We went to eat ramen and bought clothes in Harajuku.

Masaki: Kento was the one who asked me to show him around, but I was the one who got in trouble.

Kento: I think that that was my manager’s way of saying that he trusts you.

Part 2: Kento used to steal Masaki’s clothes

Kento: I used to go to your house and you used to give me a lot of your clothes.

Masaki: Yeah… Wait, no, that’s not true. It’s more like you didn't stop stealing them from me.

Kento: You’re right. I always stole them.

Masaki: The legend that is Yamazaki Kento that I remember was that he would take off the clothes he was wearing and leave them there, and he would leave wearing my clothes.

Kento: Right.

Masaki: But the other day, recently, you came to my house. That day I was so proud of you. You stopped stealing my clothes. I mean you still came over and wear my clothes, but you put it back on the hanger and you folded it. So when I saw this new side of you, I was like, “What? What kind of change is this?” You've become an adult, haven’t you?

Kento: Well, you see, it’s actually very simple. I have more um… money now.

Masaki: SHHH STOP! DON’T SAY THAT!

Kento: Since I have more money, I’m able to buy my own clothes.

Masaki: Right, you've become an actor now so you can buy your own meals.

Kento: Exactly.

Masaki: You have a point.

Kento: I do have a point.

Masaki: You’re right.

Kento: I’m right.

Masaki: You don’t have a reason to steal them from me anymore.

Kento: Yeah, I can buy my own stuff now!

Masaki: But do you even remember those times when you used to steal my clothes?

Kento: I do.

Masaki: Why did you do it? Did it occur to you for a second that maybe it would bother me that you would leave your dirty jeans in my house. Didn’t you feel a little bad for making me wash them? A normal person would think that.

Kento: I guess.

Masaki: What was your intention back then?

Kento: Back then I wanted you to give me your clothes. I was like, “Senpai, please give them to me.”

Masaki: So before you realized it, you were leaving with my clothes on?

Kento: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you were the one who was like, “Kento, it looks better on you.” And I would be like, “Really? Are you serious? Does it look good on me? Okay, then I’ll have it!”. So that’s why I always brought it home.

Masaki: Okay, but why didn’t you wear your own clothes when you went back home?

Kento: I always forgot.

Masaki: You would forget? Wow…. But yeah, I probably offered my clothes to you.

Kento: Yeah, one time you came to my house a few day after I went to yours and you went through my closet, and you were like, “Well, actually this is really nice,” and you took them back.

Masaki: Oh, yeah I did do that once. I went to your house and I was like, “Wow, this is actually dope. I’m going to wear it,” and I stole it back from you.

Kento: It was really sad.

Masaki: Do you still have the clothes you stole from me?

Kento: The clothes I stole from you?

Masaki: At least you admit that you stole them. But do you go to other people’s houses and steal their clothes?

Kento: No, I don’t.

Masaki: Then why did you steal them from me?

Kento: Well, it’s because you are such an open-hearted—

Masaki: I bet you threw them away.

Kento: I-I didn’t throw them away-

Masaki: YOU DEFINITELY THREW THEM AWAY!

Kento: *jokingly* N-n-no I didn’t…. I h-haven’t thrown them away.

Masaki: So you stole my clothes and you threw them away.

Kento: No, seriously, I haven’t thrown them away.

Masaki: Oh, really?

Kento: Um… it’s just that um…

Masaki: What is it?

Kento: I gave them to my cousin.

Masaki: YOU BASICALLY THREW THEM AWAY!

Kento: No, no, no, no. The clothes I got from you—

Masaki: WHY WOULD YOU GIVE MY CLOTHES TO OTHER PEOPLE. WEAR THEM!

Kento: I’m honestly very sorry for that, but I couldn’t wear them anymore. But I didn’t want to throw it away so I asked my cousin if he wanted them and he said yes, so I gave it to him.

Masaki: So why did you stopped stealing my clothes?

Kento: The reason? I don’t know… I mean, one is that I have more money now and the second reason is um…..eh?

Masaki: Wait, is this your first time on radio?

Kento: I’ve done it a couple of times for promotion.

Masaki: But you haven’t talked this much about yourself, haven’t you?

Kento: Yeah, I always talk about my movies and its plot.

Masaki: Right, right. You usually never talk about the times you stole clothes-

Kento: I haven’t stolen them!

Part 3: Manga live action adaptations

Masaki: Well today, the two actors who have done too much manga live action adaptations are reunited.

Kento: Don’t you think you’re doing too many live adaptions?

Masaki: Well, if you think of it number wise, I thought you had done a lot of live actions, but now that I think about it I think I’ve done too many. Weren’t you thinking that you’ve done more than me?

Kento: I was definitely thinking that, but when I thought about it, I was like, “Wait, what? I’m getting constantly attacked by everyone.”

Masaki: *laughs* What are you saying? It’s not like that!

Kento: I really am getting attacked, but like Suda-kun’s-

Masaki: Don’t say that. I also get attacked a lot.

Kento: Really?

Masaki: Of course.

Kento: …..

Masaki: You don’t look the least pleased right now.

Kento: No, no… But I am seriously getting attacked..

Masaki: Why do you feel that way?

Kento: Umm… Probably society’s opinion.

Masaki: Really? By the way, I watched “JOJO”.

Kento: What did you think?

Masaki: It was great and really funny. It was 100% “JOJO”.

Kento: Oh, thank you.

Masaki: Hey, but have you watched any of my movies?

Kento: I’ve watched “Death Note”, “Teiichi” and “Gintama”.

Masaki: Oh, so you’ve been watching a lot of the recent ones. Did you watch them in the movie theatre?

Kento: Yup, in the movie theatre-wait—

Masaki: You really suck at lying.

Kento: No, no, no, no, no.

Masaki: You really suck.

Kento: I watched “Death Note” in the theatre. And “Teiichi’s Country” as well. Also “Gintama”.

Masaki: You’re so annoying. So you actually watched all three in the cinema. Oh! Of the three movies you mentioned, we both starred in “Death Note”. I mean isn’t it crazy that you played ‘L’?

Kento: Yeah, I worked very hard for it.

Masaki: Not only was it cool, but it’s a role that every actor would envy playing.

Kento: Did you watch it though?

Masaki: Yeah, I actually did. Actually, while I was watching it, I remember during commercial break there was an announcement saying that they were going to make a movie version of the franchise and I was like, “Wow, they’re doing a movie as well”. And then it turned out I was going to be in the movie and I was so surprised. I was like, “I'M DOING IT?”

Kento: Oh, I didn’t know. Talking about this new era where a lot of manga live action adaptations are being done, I think we’ve both done so many.

Masaki: True, true. But it’s something that we’re both very grateful for. In spite of the fact that we’ve done so much, there are lots of different types and genres of mangas.

Kento: Yeah….. But I think I did too many shoujo mangas. It’s as simple as that.

Masaki: DON’T SAY THAT ABOUT YOURSELF.

Kento: You’re right. It’s not that I did too many, it’s more like I had the opportunity to do that many.

Masaki: How many times have you done kabedon?

Kento: Actually, I’ve only done it once.

Masaki: What?? Really???

Kento: I had only done it the movie “L♥DK”, but recently I did a parody version on “Saiki Kusuo”.

Masaki: Oh, yeah. I watched it in the commercials. When you did it, your broke the wall.

Kento: With that, I feel like it all became full circle. Suda-kun, have you’ve ever done kabedon?

Masaki: I actually never have. I’ve really wanted to do it for the longest time for a romantic film. And when I got casted in “Oboreru Knife”, I was like, “Yes! This is my chance”, but I ended up grabbing the girl by the neck and spitting in her face. It turned out to be a crazy story. I kind of wanted to play a character who did kabedon while saying, “I’ll always protect you”, but I just choked my lover.

Kento: I think that’s the major difference between you and I.

Part 4: Fan mail

Masaki: We’ve gotten some messages from the fans. Radio name: ryounerutouch, “Suda-san, Yamazaki-san, good evening!”

Kento: Good evening!

Masaki: “I have a T-shirt that says ‘Shimanchu’ in hiragana and a Pikatchu New Era cap in my room. Do you want to steal it?”

Kento: HEY, I DON’T NEED THAT! I’ve already graduated from character styled New Era caps! (listen)

Masaki: We received more messages. Radio name: dorodoro, “Yamazaki Kento-san, my leader and saviour, an incredible commander and ruler who’s magnificently wealthy, I want new sneakers that’s made out of a weird material. Please give me money.”

Kento: Hmm, that’s a little difficult. The contrast between the beginning of the message and the end is so big. It went from a Teiichi-kind-of-spirit, kind of like “I’M GOING TO CREATE MY OWN COUNTRY” to “I want new sneakers that’s made out of a weird material.”

Masaki: More messages. Radio name: baccars, “Yamazaki-san, in which part of Harajuku do they sell the Hello Kitty NEW ERA cap? I coincidentally want to buy that same exact cap. Would you like to go out with me to shop for it together?”

Kento: You’re just making fun of me, aren’t you?

Masaki: “Actually, I’m free next Saturday.”

Kento: Next Saturday, huh? I don’t think I can make it. By the way, that cap was a present from a friend. I didn’t buy clothes when I was younger. All my life before, I was just living off of clothes people gave to me. Either I was getting it from Suda-kun or I was getting it from another friend.

Masaki: I see. Right now, do you have things you wish to receive from people?

Kento: Well, the other day I went to your house, right?

Masaki: Did you find something you want?

Kento: Yeah.

Masaki: What was it? Dude, stop considering my closet as a base for your fashion inspiration.

Kento: It’s just that your closet looked more of a clothing store, than any other clothing store I’ve ever seen… I really wanted something… What was it? Um…… JUST GIVE ME EVERYTHING! (listen)

Masaki: Hey, everyone who’s listening. Isn’t this Yamazaki Kento different from the person you see on TV?

Kento: I agree.

Masaki: Kento-kun is actually a really funny person in real life.

*both start laughing*

Masaki: Okay, we got more messages. Radio name: nerikeshi. This seems more of a serious question. “Do you feel a lot of pressure filming live actions?”

Kento: *purposefully* Yeah, I definitely feel it. I always feel a lot of pressure when I do those types of things. I mean of course there’s that, but I think it’s very important to take that kind of pressure and try to think of it positively. I mean acting with that much pressure is-

Masaki: Dude, don’t you think you’ve suddenly become outgoing or something.

Kento: ?? Wait, what??

Masaki: Can you stop talking as if you’re on a TV programme right now.

Kento: Oh, have I made a mistake?

Masaki: Stop talking like that.

Kento: No, but seriously, I definitely feel a lot of pressure…. yeah, that’s it.

Masaki: Anyway, do you have any types of movies in mind that you would want to do with me? You know, since we haven’t filmed together in a while.

Kento: Yeah, the last time was when we did ‘35-sai no Koukosei’.

Masaki: In that drama, during one of the climax scene, there was a scene where you character freaked out holding a knife, while my character was there. You were all like, “I’m going to kill you!” It was such a scary scene for my character, so I had to act as if I were freaking out, but Kento wouldn’t stop laughing while we were filming. We couldn’t even film properly that time.

Kento: It’s because you were all like, “Ah, ah, oh my god, oh my god.”. It was hilarious. (listen to kento’s impersonation of masaki moaning)

Masaki: Yeah, it also probably had to do with the fact that we were closer friends back then. If we were to film right now, things would be a little different.

Kento: I feel like I play the hero role a lot, so I would like to play a villain for once.

Masaki: So like a Batman X Joker kind of thing.

Kento: I would be the Joker and you would be Batman.

Masaki: If any of the producers are listening to this right now, let’s make it happen.

Kento: Yeah, so I would be the villain and Suda-kun will play the hero.

Masaki: Okay.

Kento: Yeah.

Masaki: Was that your intent of trying to make a conclusion or something?

Kento: Yeah.

Masaki: If you have nothing new to say, you don’t have to say it.

Kento: Okay.

Masaki: Another message. Radio name: asakaraniku.

Kento: OKAY! What is it?

Masaki: You 100% ate something with garlic before this, didn’t you?

*kento starts bursting out of laughter* (listen)

Masaki: Hey, dude. Like suddenly it started smelling like garlic. I didn’t think that THE Yamazaki Kento ate meals with garlic in them.

Kento: Did you really smell it?

Masaki: Yeah.

Kento: Well, before this I had work related to “Saiki Kusuo” and I was with the director, Fukuda Yuuichi-san. When I told him I was going on your radio show, he invited me to go out to eat jingisukan (a japanese grilled mutton dish prepared on a convex metal skillet or other grill).

Masaki: Fukuda-san, why did you do that?

Kento: So we went to a place where the more garlic you put in your meal, the better it tasted. Because of that, we basically made our entire booth (private room) smell entirely of garlic. It was really intense.

Masaki: Stoooop it. When Kento leaves, I won’t be able to talk.

Kento: My plan was to breathe as much as possible right now.

Masaki: Okay, we got a message from asakaranikusan-san, “In your day-to-day life do you ever think to yourself, “Wow I’m so hot”?”

Kento: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Masaki: “If I were Yamazaki Kento I would definitely think so about myself.”

Kento: Well, yeah, I do think that about myself.

*masaki starts laughing*

Kento: No, seriously, I really think so.

Masaki: When does this thought occur to you in the day?

Kento: I guess the moment when I wake up and get up from my bed and look at the mirror-

Masaki: THAT EARLY?

Kento: Well when I’m thinking of brushing my teeth, I look at myself and think, “I’m so hot.”

Masaki: Are you serious?

Kento: No, I’m just joking. I don’t think about it at all. How about you, Suda-kun?

Masaki: I think about it every single day. Every second. I’m always like, “I’m so hot. I look great in every angle.” I always check myself out, all 360°, every angle.

Kento: Yeah, we’re both really hot.

Masaki: We’ve got more mail. Radio name: gorron, “Huh? What? Wait? Huh? This isn’t the Yamazaki Kento I was imagining earlier. Wait? Huh? I might like this version better. Wait? I have a strong feeling that his status as the “hot actor” is soon going to fade away (insinuating that he has the potential to be a comedian). My initial intention was to attack and hate on him, but I feel different now. What’s happening?”

Yeah I’m sorry. It seems like my fan doesn’t really like hot actors like you a lot, but it appears to be that a lot of people are feeling differently about you now.

Kento: I really like how I am today.

Masaki: Don’t say that about yourself!

Kento: *quoting “Teiichi’s Country”* I AM GOING TO CREATE MY OWN COUNTRY MYSELF! (listen).

Part 5: ‘100% Manga’ scenarios

Masaki: The next segment is called…… 100% MANGA!!! In this segment, our listeners are going to send us typical characters, their behaviours and situations that 100% occur in mangas. Today’s theme is “High School Mangas”. 

Radio name: kamura, “The hottest guy in school who is very sadistic, who falls in love with a random girl in school that has no interest in him. He makes a move on her, but she ends up getting mad at him telling him to stop and go away. He looks down on her and responds by saying, “I can’t believe you don’t show the least bit of fascination towards me. You may be interesting.”

Kento: This situation has 100% continuously been done before. I mean this is something I’ve even done in my movies.

Masaki: Which movies?

Kento: If we’re talking about the movies I’ve done where this situation has appeared, to name a few there’s “L♥DK” and also “Wolf Girl and Black Prince”.

Masaki: Okay, so can you finish this part off with one final sentence?

Kento: ………………. “I can’t believe you don’t show the least bit of fashcin—fascinsh-”

Masaki: Okay, you’re done. (listen) Next one. Radio name: tonpicchon.

Kento: Tonpicchon! Picchontee~ 

Masaki: Wait a minute. I want to apologize to everyone for putting this show on hold, but I’m going to warn Kento for a second.

Kento: Okay.

Masaki: Can you stop bothering me when I’m reading the messages?

Kento: What?

Masaki: Like can you stop saying things like ‘picchontee’.

Kento: Choppintee~?

Masaki: Choppintee is also prohibited. The problem is not the actual word. Okay, I’m going to start over. Radio name: tonpicchon.

*kento laughs*

Masaki: I’m serious, stop. Time is running out. (listen)

Kento: Sorry, go on.

Masaki: “The setting is a study session. The main girl goes to her crush’s house for that reason. When they finally have some alone time together in his room, they lean over to kiss, but in that moment his mother comes in the room to bring tea or his siblings come in to disturb them. Because of that, they quickly step back and move awkwardly and the boy moves his hand on the wall and is looking at his feet.”

Kento: I don’t really feel it.

Masaki: Really?? I mean you’ve never done a scene where the characters are doing a study session, right?

Kento: Nope.

Masaki: It might be because of that. Okay, let’s go on to the next message. Radio name: natsuki, “The situation consists of a new hot male student changing schools. Soon the entire class finds out that the girl, who is the main character, knows this new student and, apart from the fact that he sits next to her in class, she is assigned to show him around school.”

Kento: This 100% has happened. I’ve done this type of scene in my movie “Orange”. Basically, wait. I probably shouldn’t say this. It might be kind of rude.

Masaki: You shouldn’t say it if you think you shouldn’t.

Kento: Well, “Orange” is an amazing and a very well written movie, and since it has a very sad plot it’s kind of hard for me to say this, but in the movie I play a student who changed schools and on his very first day he is assigned to sit next to a girl, who he’s kind of interested in. And from then on sparks fly.

Masaki: Now that I think about it, you’re so lucky. You’ve done so many romantic movies. I never get those types of roles.

Kento: I’m sure you have.

Masaki: No, not at all. My roles are either virgins or (japanese) yankiis.

Kento: No, but I always play virgins as well. They don’t seem like it, but they’re actually pure.

Masaki: I see.

Kento: We finally have something in common.

Masaki: Stop, don’t say that. It’s going to be on the news tomorrow: “Suda Masaki and Yamazaki Kento share in common their virginities.” Don’t try digging up something that’s not true.

Okay, next message. Radio name: anohinorieko, “A second male lead character who throughout the movie is supporting and helping the female lead, but in the doesn't make a move on her or taking their relationship to the next level. All through the movie he is seen to be having her back pushing her to finally be with another boy. After that, he 100% leans on the wall and slowly sits on the floor and says as he looks at his ceiling, “What am I even doing?”

Kento: I haven starred in this, but that’s literally the plot of the movie “Strobe Edge” by Yamada Yuki, who plays Ando-kun.

Masaki: STOP SAYING THE TITLE OF MOVIES THAT ARE NOT YOURS (psa: I don’t think he’s allowed to talk about it). But have you done a movie like this?

Kento: I actually have. Can I try imitating the second male lead character?

Masaki: Sure.

Kento: “Ehhhhhhh…… What am I even doing?” (listen)

Masaki: Are you sure you’ve done this type or role? What even was that “ehhhh”?

Kento: I was imagining my character in the bathtub saying that….. Can I do it again please?

Masaki: Okay, do it again.

Kento: “AHHhhhhaHHH. WHAT am I even doinG?” (listen)

Masaki: I see, I see.

Kento: Can you do it now? Do it with the intention of giving me butterflies.

Masaki: *whispers* “Ahhhhhh. What am I even doing?” (listen)

Kento: It felt great in my ears.

Masaki: Well that’s it for the “100% Manga” segment.

Kento: What? I’m so sad.

Masaki: We do it every week so it’s fine. Have you even listened to this before?

Kento: I’ve liste—I’ve never listened to it.

Masaki: *laughs* It’s fine.

*outro music starts playing*

Masaki: “What am I even doing?”

Kento: “I guess it’s fine if she’s happy.”

Part 6: More fan mail

Masaki: How are you, Kento-san?

Kento: I’m having so much fun right now.

Masaki: We got new messages for you. Radio name: houdoman, “Kento-kun, it’s so funny! Yeah, yeah. Today’s show is so funny. The only this is that I think that you’re too getting to cocky right now, just a teeny bit. I mean, you’re doing such a great job so just continue by being a little bit calmer.”

Kento: I-I’m so sorry. I’ll be sure to read the atmosphere from now on.

Masaki: I think you’re fine. Don’t worry.

Kento: Really? Am I okay? Am I still alive?

Masaki: You’re still alive, don’t worry.

Kento: If you say so….. I’LL CONTINUE THE REST OF THE SHOW LIKE THIS! (listen)

Masaki: Next message. Radio name: mall, “Kento, dude, you’re getting too fucking cocky by the minute. Since you’ve gone on the mikoshi (divine palanquin), it looks like you’ve been enjoying yourself quite a lot and you’ve been acting so arrogant. We’re not afraid of letting you go and dropping you. Were you not aware that we have dedicated all our lives to celebrate and carry amazing people on our shoulders You dumbass!” (obv this a v exaggerated joke)

Kento: My deepest apologies. I was doing it because I wanted the listeners to enjoy today’s show, but I didn’t imagine the reaction to turn out like this. From now on I—I’ll-

Masaki: Kento, it's fine. Calm down and drink a little bit of water.

*slurps* 

Masaki: He doesn’t feel bad at all.

Kento: IT TASTES SO GOOOOD~ IT’S DELIIICIOUSS~~~ (listen)

Masaki: Radio name: moromoro, “I personally love all of Kento’s work, but I also think that he gets attacked a lot for it as well. But I love your work! I think “Your Lie in April” is the best!”

Kento: Umm… you could of left it just as “I love your work”. It hurts more when other people tell me that I get a lot of hate, than me just admitting to it.

*masaki starts laughing*

Masaki: Well you were the one who started saying those things about being attacked.

Kento: I shouldn’t have even mentioned it.

Masaki: After this segment finishes, we’re going to have to say goodbye to Yamazaki Kento-kun.

Kento: Ehh, I’m sad.

Masaki: What are you going to do? Are you going to stay here?

Kento: I think I’m going to leave once.

Masaki: What do you mean you’re going to leave once? Does that mean you’re coming back?

Kento: I think I’m going to go to the bathroom and stuff.

Masaki: There are more messages coming in. Radio name: omoshirosugiman, “I have a line that I want both of you to say: “Let’s go watch the fireworks next week. Just the two of us.””

Kento: “Let’s go watch the fireworks. Just the two of us.” (listen)

Masaki: Wowww.

Kento. I think I did a really great job right now. Now it’s your turn.

Masaki: “Let’s go see fireworks next week. Just the two of us.” (listen)

Kento: Ohh… That sounded really nice.

Masaki: Since it’s summer, I tried a sexier kind of tone. We got another messages from jamuoojiobasan, “Excuse me, but I realized in the middle of the show that something was wrong, but Kento Yamazaki…. are you really that stupid? I apologize if I’m in the wrong right now, but are you stupid?”

Kento: Nooo. My name means ‘clever person’ so there is no way I’m stupid. It’s impossible. To write my name, you literally have to write ‘clever human’ (賢: clever; 人: human). *masaki is dying of laughter during this* It’s a name that my father and mother chose and took their time to think over. They named me that because they believed in me and thought it was the best fit for me. But that’s my opiniooon. 

Masaki: We got more messages from jeankeijean, “Suda-san, Yamazaki-san, please let me request a line for you guys to say. Please say, “Do you want to come over since I’m good at making rice balls?”” (It’s kind of a tongue twister when you say it in japanese)

Kento: I’m going to go for a natural kind of way to say it. *does the exact opposite* “Do you want to come over since I’m good at making rice balls?”

Masaki: Hey, hey, hey. You’re just fooling around.

Kento: It’s really hard to say it, just try. Do you want to—do you want to- What?

Masaki: Okay, I’ll try. *says it perfectly* “Do you want to come over since I’m good at making rice balls?”

Kento: Wow, you’re so good.

Masaki: Why don’t you try saying it again?

Kento: “Do you want to come over……. since I’m good at making… rice balls?”

*starts laughing*

Masaki: Why can’t you do it?

Kento: I don’t know. (listen)

Masaki: But wait, what kind of line is this? WAIT. Why did this person make us say this?

Kento: She probably wanted us to make rice balls.

Masaki: Why would someone go to another person’s house because of their rice ball skills? Anyway, radio name: shindome, "I want you to guys say this line-”

Kento: “Hey, let’s go catch it… THAT BIG ASS BEETLE TOGETHER!” (listen) ….. I was aiming for that whole “battling each other” kind of scene. It wasn’t really that good… Can you say it next?

Masaki: Kento- kun, you want me to do it?

Kento: Please ♥︎

Masaki: Let’s go catch it… that big ass beetle together ♥︎ (listen)

Kento: That was kind of sexy.

Masaki: Is anyone even enjoying this?

Kento: Is this okay for you guys?

Masaki: I feel like the only thing we’re doing is pouring our heart out for this.

Kento: Yeah, I’m sweating in weird places right now.

Masaki: What even was this segment? Kento-kun, do you want to rest a little?

Part 7: Even more fan mail & Kento’s mannerisms towards Masaki

Kento: “There’s this person I like that doesn’t look at me nor pay much attention to me. Are you asking me what I should do? Do you know why giraffes have long necks? It’s to eat the leaves of tall trees. What am I trying to say is that, in order to be with someone you can’t reach, the only possible way to reach them is to be a giraffe. All you have to do is make your neck longer slowly and steadily, and you’ll be fine. Any person would look at someone who has a long neck. I’m sure she’ll look at your neck. So the only thing left is to wait for your neck to get long. THIS WAS YAMAZAKI’S KENTO ALL NIGHT NIPPON!”

I was so annoying just now.

Masaki: Yeah, you sounded really stupid. By the way, we forced him to say this.

Kento: Exactly, it was in the script.

Masaki: Sure, but no one told you to read it like that…

Kento: It was really fun.

Masaki: We have more messages! Radio name: soshitarasoredekekkoudesu. “Recently Suda-san —although he really doesn’t have to— has been training to get a little muscular. Has Kento-san been training as well?”

Kento: I have. I’ve been going to the gym a lot.

Masaki: Wasn't there a time long ago when you suddenly became so big (fit)? It was right in the moment when I was training for the boxing movie.

Kento: But didn’t you get so thin right after that?

Masaki: Yeah, that was for ‘Teiichi’. In terms of getting fit and gaining weight, do you do it because they tell you to or do you do it on your own will?

Kento: Well, for ‘JOJO’, when I read the manga, my character is obviously so big and muscular, so I know I had to do it.

Masaki: Yeah, he’s not even full Japanese.

Kento: I ended up gaining 10kg.

Masaki: Wow, really? I also gained 10kg for the boxer role, but it’s so hard to gain weight. It's way easier to lose weight than to gain.

Kento: I agree.

Masaki: Are there any other roles that you feel that you put a lot of effort in?

Kento: Yeah, all my roles. No, but in all seriousness, for example, for “Death Note”, when I was filming the drama, I was still filming “Mare”. I was already thin when I was filming “Mare”, so I decided to lose more weight filming “Death Note” because I thought it was better for the appearance for my character. How about you?

Masaki: The only times I changed my weight for a role was for “Princess Jellyfish” and for the boxer. I haven’t trained much for my roles. Until what age do you think you’ll be able to wear a school uniform? When it was announced that I was going to star in “My Little Montster”, I commented that it was going to be the last time that I was going to wear a uniform for a movie. I remember you said a while back that you weren’t going to do more roles wearing uniforms, but…

Kento: I definitely think I’ve worn a lot of uniforms in my career.

Masaki: Up until now, what color blazers have you worn for your roles?

Kento: There’s a lot. Green, black, navy blue, brown, black.. But I’ve also worn jackets, chouran (”JOJO” style uniform)…

Masaki: For “My Little Monster”, my blazer was orange. And when I looked at myself wearing the blazer, I thought that that would be my last high schooler role. I thought that because I used to wear Gakuran (a type of Japanese school uniform with a stand-up collar, a long jacket and loose pants X) back when I was in high school. People who used to wear Gakuran get embarassed when they were blazers. Do you feel that?

Kento: When I was in high school, since I wore a blazer, in my first role where I had to put on a blazer, it felt good.

Masaki: How old are you? You’re 22, right?

Kento: Yeah, I’m almost 23.

Masaki: What do you want for your birthday?

Kento: I want you to take me to a thrift-store that you go to often. We haven’t been to one in a while.

Masaki: Oh, yeah, by the way, I want to confront you about something. One day, suddenly, you started talking to me in tameguchi (In japanese depending who you’re talking to, you have to speak in one way or another. Obviously if you’re talking to someone who’s older that you, you talk in a more respectful and formal manner aka keigo and if you’re talking to a really close friend or a family member, you talk in a informal manner aka tamego). I really don’t care what kind of way you talk to me, but—

Kento: *talking in tamego* Oh, really?

Masaki: STOP THAT!

Kento: Suda-kun, suda-kun.

Masaki: Stop pointing at me… Anyway, one day, you were like, “It’s okay if I just call you Masaki, right?”

Kento: Oh, yeah.

Kento: You always called me Suda-kun, but one day you asked me that. Actually, when you started calling me Masaki, I was really happy. I mean, technically, age-wise you should be talking to me in keigo, but I didn’t really care. But recently, when we’re texting, you always talk to me in keigo.

Kento: The thing is… *in tamego* Listen, okay, so… *in keigo* Please listen to me.

Masaki: Stop!

Kento: Well, you’re my senpai….. You’re not only my senpai in my life, but you’re my…… you’re just my senpai in my life, basically.

Masaki: Oh, so there’s no and?

Kento: *in tamego* If I become too friendly with you, I’ll end up talking to you in tamego. *in keigo* I’ll end up talking to you in tamego. So, before I was like, “I’m going to talk to you in tamego!” But then I realized that you’re my senpai.

Masaki: So when you started using tameguchi, you felt weird?

Kento: Yeah, I don’t know why. *in tamego* But Suda-kun, you’re um… you’re…

*masaki laughs*

Kento: You’re the eldest.

Masaki: You mean between my brothers? Yeah, I’m the eldest of three.

Kento: Between your siblings, the youngest is Kento, right? I also happen to be the youngest.

Masaki: Oh, so the same “Kento” connection. You see, this is really confusing. My younger brother’s name is also Kento. How about in your family?

Kento: I have an older brother. I’m the younger one.

Masaki: I see. So what you’re trying to say is that I, Masaki, the eldest of my siblings, whose youngest brother is called Kento, and you, Kento, the youngest sibling, who has an older brother, is the reason why you use keigo with me.

Kento: Well, kind of. But other that, you’re really good at cooking.

Masaki: Have I made you food before?

Kento: Yeah. I'll never forget the curry you once made me.

Masaki: You’re such a liar.

Kento: The avocado cream curry that you made me—

Masaki: That's so nostalgic. You had so many refills that day. You told me that you wanted the sweet version and the spicy version, so I had to use two frypans to make it for the day after.

Kento: Exactly.

Masaki: I remember being like, “Aren’t I your senpai? Why do I have to make two types of curry for you?”

Kento: It’s because you’re nice.

Masaki: I remember in one plate you had on the right side the sweet version and on the left the spicy one.

Kento: Well, Suda-kun, apart from being my senpai, to me you’re kind of like an older brother figure to me. I can’t call you Masaki.

Masaki: I guess. I mean, if anything you should call me by my real name.

*and in that moment your heart skipped a beat. “his rEAL NAME?????”, you must be thinking. he’s right. his name is fake. now you guys are probably screaming. “but i thought his name was suda masaki” BITCH IT AINT. DONT WORRY LIL FELLA IM GOIN THRU THIS RN. AFTER 11 MONTHS OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, AFTER WATCHING 10 MOVIES, 3 DRAMAS, BUYING 2 SOLO SINGLES & MANY MAGAZINES AND WATCHING HUNDREDS OF HIS INTERVIEWS I NEVER KNEW THAT ‘SUDA MASAKI’ WASN’T HIS REAL NAME. THE WORLD IS QUAKING, THE DINASOURS ARE RESURRECING & SATAN HAS RISEN WE ARE ALL SHOOK. ARE YALL READY TO HEAR HIS FUCKING NAME OH MY GOD ITS (no offence ily bb) but iTS THE UGLIEST THING YOULL EVER HEAR (im totally kidding) ITS… ITSS….. SUGOU TAISHOU.

and this is my queue to jump off a cliff :))) antiways here are some text posts i made when i found out about this fake ass lil bitch x x x x x

ok lets get back to the show*

Masaki: It seems like the show is coming to an end.

Kento: Are you serious?

Masaki: We have a new message. Radio name: mokemokestudio, “I’ve never seen such a ridiculously free-spirited actor in my life.”

Kento: Thank you.

Masaki: “You were really great, but you were also really annoying. Kento, good job! Thank you.”

Kento: Thanks, mokemoke!

Masaki: But wasn’t this a surprise for everyone? You know, this raw-kind-of-Kento. You’ve never had the opportunity to talk like this before, right?

Kento: Yeah, it was so much fun. I don’t want to leave. I think you’re amazing. Just thinking about the fact that you do this every week alone is amazing.

Masaki: *laughs* I would appreciate it if you tell me these kind words after the show ends.

Kento: Bu—but you’re my senapi.

Masaki: Stop! Don’t pretend like you meant what you just said. Just leave.

*outro music starts*

Masaki: Today’s guest was Yamazaki Kento! Thank you so much!

Kento: Thank you so much! Suda-kun, thank you so much!

Masaki: Any last words you want to say?

Kento: Ok….. Suda-kun, I love you.

Masaki: Are you okay with that being your last words?

Kento: Um… What should I say?……. *quoting “JOJO”* This was great! (listen)

Part 8:  Last & final goodbye!

❋ masaki now alone ❋

Masaki: Yamazaki Kento really is gone now. He’s a really funny guy. We have received a lot of messages concerning him. Radio name: moufu, “Just before the commercial started, right after his embarrassing confession, he ended with an A+ comment. Kento is really amazing.” Right? He started saying, “I love you” and all that nonsense and ruined the mood, but he ended with “This was great.” It was like BAM!!! He’s the type of guy that when he puts his heart into something, he does it perfectly. Let’s hope that he comes back in the future.

. . . .

❋ while Masaki was finishing the show, Kento started bothering him ❋

Masaki: Guys, wait a minute. I’m so sorry, but I’m going to put this on hold for a second. While I was reading your guys’ messages, Yamazaki Kento-kun just came back and is next to me with his arm around me, and he won’t stop taking pictures of me. You can hear the shutter right? He's so annoying. When are you going to seriously leave?

Kento: *starts laughing* I'll leave, don’t worry.

Masaki: No, no, no. Don’t say “I’ll leave, don’t worry.”

Kento: Suda-kun.

Masaki: What?

Kento: Suda Masaki’s All Night Nippon!

Masaki: Yeah, and? Earlier you ended it so perfectly with “This was great!”

Kento: Oh—oh, okay. I’ll leave then.

Masaki: You smell like garlic! LEAVE!

Kento: Bye, Suda-kun!

Masaki: Bye!… Are you seriously going to end it like this?

Kento: It was great. 

Masaki: Hmm? It’s a bit different…

Kento: Bye!…. Thankyousomuch! 

Masaki: Stop! 

Kento: Good morning!

Masaki: Even though it’s past midnight don’t say good morning.

Kento: Thank you so much! (listen)

[dereknursey]

When he turns to study the person sitting next to him, he jumps when he comes face to face with none other than River Bullard, River the Bully, River the Harajuku Barbie—Jon shakes his head a little when their eyes meet. Today is taking a toll on his mental health.

“What can I get you, baby?” Greta asks sweetly, returning to the counter. She smiles at Bully. “And what can I get for your very handsome friend?” Jon feels all the heat leave his face.

“I need a cheesecake snowball, please. Double the cheesecake.” He leans over the counter to whisper the last part, but if the laugh Bully lets out is any indication, it was heard by all present parties anyway. “And he’s not my friend.”

Finally, Bully speaks up, smiling at Greta. Jon wants to kick his perfect teeth in. “I just want some crawfish juice, please.” Greta nods and takes the menu from in front of him, sending a lingering glance Jon’s way, which he decidedly ignores.

Him and Bully fall into silence for a long moment, Bully taking the time to look around the small deli. “What do you want?” Jon finally asks, trying not to cringe at how childishly annoyed he sounded. It had been a very long day, in his defense, filled with more human interaction than he had probably had in all four years of high school. Bully considers him for a long moment, like he’s not quite sure what he’s looking at, and Jon adds, “If you’re not gonna say anything can I have my face back?” He rolls his eyes and takes the plastic cup Greta gives him the snowball in when she returns, immediately digging his fork in to find some cheesecake. Lactose intolerance be damned.

“Your sister said you’d be here. The, uh,” Bully puts his hand about Aadi’s height from the ground. Jon makes a mental note to hide all the gummy bears in the house from her for at least a week. “Not as little one.” They fall into silence again, until Jon makes a face asking if that’s the end of the conversation. “Well, anyway, I just wanted to tell you, I really am flattered—”

Jon gives him a hard look, cutting him off without opening his mouth. “Are you really complimented so little you dwell on it for an entire day everytime it happens?” He finally replies, deadpan, and Bully looks startled.

Then he laughs, a loud thing that booms over the deli. “I’m sorry, I get compliments, but not of the,” Bully screws his face up like he’s thinking, but little giggles are still coming out. “My eyes look like ‘perfect chocolate orbs’ variety.” Jon puts his head in his hands and Bully laughs louder. Bully’s letter had probably been the least reread out of all of them, and he had completely forgotten he was going through a serious Wattpad Harry Styles moment at the time it was written.

“It’s not a big deal.” They stare at each other again and Jon finds himself confessing, “I’m more worried about the other letters.” He thinks he can see Bully’s ears literally perk up.

“Other letters? Mine wasn’t one of a kind?” Then, he pulls it out of his back pocket and opens it loudly. “So I’m not the only guy you want to, ‘kiss until your foot pops’?” Jon cringes. Too much Princess Diaries. Bully keeps an almost straight face through all of this, the humor he’s finding dancing behind his eyes instead.

“Afraid you’re one of five. Justin Nolastname from camp, Derek Nurse—“ Bully nods like he understands. In fifth grade, everyone had been in love with Derek. “You, Louis, and Ford.” The Native American boy rolls his eyes at the very mention of Ford’s name. Huh, Jon thinks, so the animosity wasn’t one sided.

“Well, I’m feeling a bit used, then.” He replies, taking a long sip of juice and making a squeaky noise as he moved his straw in and out of the styrofoam cup.

“Look, I wrote that letter when I was in seventh grade. I was coming off of a very gay week and you were my first kiss.” Bully’s face screws up.

“At that party?” Jonathan nods while spooning more of his snowball into his mouth, silently hoping this conversation ends in the next 20 seconds. Today has been more emotionally draining, embarrassing, and life changing than almost any other day before it. It makes him wish Dad was here. He��d know what to do. Just as he thinks this, Bully continues. “And, what, it was so good you needed a second dose today?”

“Fuck you,” Jon says, and means it, grabbing his bag and getting up from the table. He pushes the hot sting of tears down as he pushes open the back door, and ignores the guilt he feels for not saying goodbye to Greta. Annoyingly, Bully follows, even reaching out and grabbing Jon’s forearm so he turns around. The black boy snatches his arm back. “Look, I’m sorry you had to read my embarrassing letter about a crush I had in middle school, but I promise I don’t have posters of you hanging in my room and I don’t know where you live. I only kissed you so Ford wouldn’t try to talk to me.” Bully’s bottom lips curls up in distaste at Ford’s name, making everything about what’s happening right now that much worse. “Trust me, she feels the same.”

Just then, the streetcar comes bumbling by, merrily continuing past Jon’s stop. He groans and stomps his left foot against the payment, taking in two fistfuls of hair. “Fuck me!” He offers eloquently, sliding into some of the outdoor seating of the deli. Bully regards him for a long moment, like always, stoic in his stare. Jon considers if he has the mental capacity or physical strength to choke him out.

“Come on, I’ll drive you home.”

DEAR 2016-2017   1/1 Concert Report

Hi this is @humming-yay translator of ryoosukeyamada fansub and I was fortunate enough to go to the DEAR 2016-2017 Tokyo Dome concert on the 1st on Jan the 12:00 afternoon one (it was my first time attending a Johnny’s concert!) :)

I’ll start off with buying the goods, I arrived in Tokyo 31st of December around 3pm and I planned to go to Tokyo Dome to buy the goods on the 31st around 7pm to just buy the goods so I don’t have to go there really early on the day of the concert and worry if I can line up and buy the goods on time before the concert. And also to scope the place out to figure out a meeting place with my friend. If you’ve been checking twitter you know how ridiculous the lines were that day it was like 8 hours long during the morning and midday. So I felt really unsure if I was able to buy them that day. I got to Tokyo Dome and there were many JE fans (Because of the countdown concert) There was a guy pointing out the end of the line so I went there and ended up only lining up for 30mins! (but the group poster was sold out) It was because it was during the DEAR concert so there weren’t as many people! So a tip is to line up for goods during the concert the day before :D After the DEAR concert ended (around 7:40) heaps of people came out of the dome and the line was super long again.

*** This part isn’t really related to the concert just personal experience so skip it if you want to ***

Also this was my first time going to a Johnny’s concert so I had no idea how the system worked to buy the goods. The staff were saying on their megaphones that it was divided into 3 sections. I was like what 3 sections??? Do you get your goods in one line and pay in the other?? I just started lining up and asked the girl in front of me who was holding some uchiwa’s ‘can you buy the goods here?’ (In Japanese ofc) She’s like ‘Yes, yes you can buy the goods here’ But by the tone of the voice she was making fun of me :( Afterwards I found out after asking mulitple staff that the goods were divided into 3 sections depending on the items, one section sold some of the DEAR goods, one section just sold the charater key rings and photos and one section sold the count down uchiwas. Obviously that girl knew about this since she was holding the uchiwa’s but didn’t bother telling me T.T

My friend (who’s been a JUMP fan for a long time and have attended a concert before) also said that Japanese JE fans have a bad vibe and I do agree :l When I went to Harajuku after the concert there were heaps of JUMP fans who also went to the concert and I overheard one say ‘Hey that’s the tobiko that pushed me at the concert’ Yeah idk why they’re so mean to each other D: (I’m just glad the international fandom is different)

******************************************************************************************

Anyway the day of the concert came and I met up with my friend at McDonalds at 10:30 we chatted, made our way to the dome, took photos put the DEAR tattoos on and lined up to go in. The concert starts at 12:00 but you can go in from 10:00, we went in at like 11:40. Our seats were in the middle section of the stands. The concert started a bit after 12:00.

In sugirusetsunasa the water works looked amazing and Inochan had his white hood up and looked so cute. Ganbaretsugo was one of the best parts of the concert because of their bunny costume!!!! It’s my favourite costume out of all JUMP costume’s so I’m so glad to be able to see it again and live!! And also they were holding bazookas, during the concert I had no idea what came out of them but I checked twitter later and they were little bunny plushies with their signtures on them!!

We are otokonoko was great too I love the song and they each had tamborines tapping each other on their butt and stuff, it was really cute. Konya anata wo kudokimasu was really funny, the animation playing on the main stage was really tacky and funny (like a women turning into a sponge etc) and Ino-chan hugged himself in the part were he sings ‘Dakishimeru~’ For Maji Sunshine they were on the trolleys going around the dome with gold sparkly confetti coming down and every one in the audience was dancing. Also there was a part were Yuto was holding a selfie-cam and all the JUMP members were in the shot and it looked really cute ><  Near the end Takaki sang impersonating Kimpachi sensei and then Dai-chan got forced to sing while impersonating him by the members and failed miserably. He felt embarrassed and posed at the end showing his fist with the DEAR tattoo on it and the camera took a close-up of him on the main screen.

Personally the really best part of the concert was the MC!! I was so surprised how good JUMP was talking in real life the conversation went on so smoothly and it was hilarious, it felt like I was watching one of their TV shows but better! They were teasing Hikaru about his dumbness, he coundn’t say the 9x9 timetable Yabu asked what’s 7x8 he answered 52 (not sure of exact numbers but something along those lines). He blamed School Kakumei for revealing his dumbness. Also there was a big yabuhika moment where they got into a fight and hika went to resolve it by going to kiss yabu but yabu rejected. Also yabu said he only slept for 2 hours and when he woke up his face was really bloated looking like Anpanman. Hika said during Fantastic Time in the part were Yabuhika crouch down on their knees Hika laughed so hard because Yabu’s face looked so different.

And then Chinen cutely suggested that if we all sucked in our breath at the same time facing upwards we might deflate the ceiling of the Tokyo dome and it might fall. And then dai-chan said ‘if it does fall please protect yourselves with ur uchiwa’ and Yabu was like ‘No we’ll go and protect them’ and the whole dome was like ‘Fuu~~’. The members were like wow Yabu you’ve changed this year and Dai-chan said, ‘Did you change to a new face?’ （え、顔変えたのかな？）following on from the Anpanman joke >< We sucked in our breath on the count of 3 2 1 and obviously nothing happened as they quickly pointed out. Then they went on to promote their upcoming movies. Dai-chan talked about ‘Kodomo Tsukai’ and Yuto talked about ‘BokuGoha’ and Yama talked about ‘HagaRen’. He said the poster was released on that day in the morning and he asked the audience who’s seen it already and a lot of people put their hand up (including me :)) The other members haven’t seen the posters yet so they asked Yama to recreate it and Yama made a weird-serious face and the others were like what?? He’s like I’m just standing and there’s my brother who’s really big behind me. Then Yuto went behind Yama to be Al from the movie and Yama ducked to his knees to become really small ><  Chinen promoted his movie ‘Shinobi no kuni’ and it was Inoo’s turn to promote his and Hika was like ‘Momo onna’ (peach girl in Japanese) and Inoo was like yes peach girl. He says he gets really embarrassed remembering the filming and all the kyun kyun stuff he did and Hika was like ‘yeah I wore really long hair and my heart was skipping’ Then everyone realised he was talking about cross-dressing as Yamamoto Mizuki and Hika was like ‘I’m actually dressed up as a boy now’ Then Yuto said ‘You got addicted to it (dressing up as Yamamoto Mizuki) after Itajyan’ They also talked about the count down concert and Keito singing with his Dad, they were like you copied your Dad with tying you hair up or your dad copied you :P

The MC ended and they went back to singing starting off with ‘My Girl’, Ariyama’s dancing and singing was beautiful. For ChikuTaku it started off with the spotlight on Inoo and he played a beautiful piano solo and then the spotlight went to Yama and he sang his solo beautifully then to Yabu. Then all the lights came on and the whole JUMP band joined and played. For ‘Your Seed’ the JUMP band also played and it was a new rock version and Dai-chan was rapping and it sounded so unfamiliar to the original song I had no idea what he was saying but apparently when I checked twitter it’s completely new (not 100% sure on this info) There was fire blasting during the song and you could really feel the heat from it even from the seats! For Mr Flawless they came on the trolleys and were saying ‘who will it be tonight?’ I had no idea what they were talking about and then Yabu was like STOP and they went off their trolleys and they each gave a bouquet of roses to a fan. One of the fans had a uchiwa that said Dear Yabu… something something (didn’t have time to read it all but it was some message to him) and yabu gave the bouqet to her. Yuto gave it to a girl holding his uchiwa and Takaki threw it backwards to the audience wedding style. (The girls were really vicious in fighting and getting the bouquet). During school girl the members linked hands to make a circle except for Yama who was in the middle and covered his eyed with his hands. The members skipped around him in time with the song and Yama had to guess at the end who was behind him. He said ‘Yabu!’ but it was actually Yuto behind him J Yama covering his eyes looked really cute and the other members happily going around in circles looked really cute too >< They ended the concert with DEAR and afterwards Yama leaded saying their thank you’s and that JUMP’s New Year’s Resolution will be to become very close to thier fans. (Pls do esp for us int fans ><) Hika yelled at the end 9x9 is 81! The members were like wow you remembered one thing right. :P

After they went back backstage the fans calling for an encore started. This was a real struggle. Half the people were saying Jump! Jump! And the other half were saying Encore! Encore! My friend and I really didn’t know which one to say and it was a mess but Jump quickly came back on again on the trolley with thier con t-shirts and sang Baby I Love You. Afterwards in Aisureba Motto the part were they sing ‘Gyu gyu gyu~’ Dai-chan was squeezing Ino-chan’s butt :P Also they threw sign balls during the encore. At the part were Yama asks for thier name and the audience says Hey! Say! JUMP the sparkly concert tape came out and everyone reached out thier hands to grab them, unfortunately if your at the back you can’t get them. The front bit of my section were able to get tape but I didn’t get any bc I was in the middle ^^; But after I went out of the dome I saw two fans holding out signs that said ‘Please share some tape’ So if your really desperate to get some prepare a sign or bring a notebook to write ‘銀テープください’ (please give me sparkly tape)

Overall thoughts:

- JUMP in real life was exactly the same as they seem on TV :)

- the concert was different from what I expected, it was during the day so the dome was really bright since the ceiling has holes and the scenery was not what I was used to seeing in DVDs since it wasn’t dark. (I thought there would be some way to make it dark but apparently not lol JUMP talked about it during the MC).

-  They’re member ai is so strong and they’re so cute, from a far they looked like girls!

-  The concert feels like a dream I can’t believe I got to see them in real life and realise that they’re actually real and human!

-  The concert was really fun I want to say thank you so much to Hey! Say! JUMP for the great time and the hard effort they put in.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask me and I will try to answer them as best as possible! Sorry my con report isn’t as detailed I’m writing this on the 5th of Jan after I came back from Japan since I was really busy ^^; Here are more photos I took :) 

The Give Me Love tunnel!

I saw a lot of fans have these colourful clear bags (you can buy these from WEGO) and put thier bias’s shop photos, pictures of members with snapchat/snow filters and other little pieces relating to the member :) I thought was a really cute and smart idea :D Also heaps of fans had cute ribbons in thier hair and the colour of the ribbon corresponding to thier bias :)

One final tip is that there is a certain size limit for uchiwas! it has to be less than 28.5 x 29.5 cm, there is a size fitting thing at the ticket place to check if your uchiwa isnt too big. Also this is not an offical rule but around je fans it’s accepted that you can’t use holo paper/sticker on your ucihwa, apparently they reflect really strongly on other people (namely the idols) eyes.
