Have a fanart!! π I've always wanted to draw them properly aaahh ;v; ππ
the watermark is my twitter handle. Feel free to say hi, I would really love to have someone to talk abt juntoshi over there!
also I will tell you how did I become a juntoshi shipper HAHAH bc the moment just fits xD
it's not really a long one like how I became arashian but I just want to talk about it anyway~ π
I didn't plan to ship anyone at first.
Mostly bc I used to ship fictional characters (hard) so real people kinda out of my bound x"D I didn't have anything bad against anyone who does though. It just something that I didn't usually do (but then again, getting into idols is also something I didn't usually do π)
I enjoyed every pair moments, each combi have their own fun dynamic and really, it's one of the reason why I got into Arashi in the first place. They have superb dynamic with each other.
However, when I first got into Arashi, I honestly didn't see much interaction between Juntoshi. It's funny bc it just so happens that the shigayare episodes I have watched are the ones that has minimum (or none at all) of their interaction, so I didn't see much of them π
It made me worried at first, bc I've watched how Ohno interacted with Aiba, Sho and Nino but barely with Jun.
I wondered if there's a slack between the two.
Especially with how different both are in personality. The overly laid back leader who look like he'd rather be sleeping and the bossy youngest member who's passionate in a lot of things.
Both are also stubborn in their own way, which could be bad.
((current me is shaking my head with a booming voice YOU FOOL))
Man, how glad I was to be proved wrong AHAHAHA π
In those times when I spent hours on twitter looking for Ohno's clips, I found a cut from shiyagare where they went on a date to Tanegashima. The one where Ohno was waving his hand going "MJ~ MJ~" and Jun replied with a super cheery voice "Riida~ Riida~" and mygod THAT WAS SO CUTE π
I saw that and the first thing that came to my mind was 'Oh, they're actually get along well!' π
Describing their relationship as get along well was an understatement, I think π
that cut from shiyagare piqued my interest to find out more about Juntoshi's interaction. So I dig deeper, going into the juntoshi tag in twitter.
I found photos and videos of them hugging and exchanging glances on concerts, their Hitachi washing machine commercials that looked domestic, magazine interviews of them telling how they both respected each other, OHNO'S DRUNKEN MARRIAGE PROPOSAL IN VOYAGE?? π
I am doomed. So doomed for this ship. Slowly, I also started to notice their interaction in their shows and concerts. Vague ones.. obvious ones.. and each of them are adorable. They're adorable. I am so soft for them πππ
One funny part.
When I watched ROM on the theater with my older sister who dragged us to accompany her, I still haven't fully into Arashi yet and just barely recognize each of the members' names (except Nino and Ohno). I remember laughing at that part in A Day in Our Life where Ohno and Jun are holding hands and tried to kiss it and thought, "That's a good fanservice. I bet the shippers would love that!"
..hil..my friend, you are THAT shipper in the future π and yes, you love it, very much lol.
My one small regret as an arashian is that why didn't I became a fan sooner.
I could have fully experienced the whole fan excitement of seeing your oshi and sing along to their songs when ROM happened π but I guess everything does happen for a good reason. I would probably let out a pterodactyl screech if I -as a shipper- watch juntoshi's fanservice on a giant screen π
Soo that's how I got into juntoshi! it's a fun ride, one I didn't think I could get into but here we are π and I dearly hope to see their interaction again soon, even though they're still on hiatus. I will be waiting for them. Not only just the two of them, but most importantly Arashi as a whole πβ€οΈπππ
Thank you for reading this far! π
See you next time! π
