[swoon21]

So as promised here are more recaps of old radio appearances. This time I put more effort and made them more detailed. And needless to say I really appreciate feedback.

I totally agree with you about Tora and leadership, he definitely is a natural leader (I'm just thinking of the infamous nico-nico cosplay/drunk saga episode when Hiroto was hosting. Anyone else noticed that the minute Tora showed up, he assumed leadership of the whole thing immediately? It was rather funny...) I was also surprised he declined to lead, but then again, another word that always comes up when he is being described is "modest". It only makes me love him even more ;) Besides, he probably gives Shou leadership advice at home...ahem...

Once again, thank you so much for your amazing, dedicated work, I personally really, really appreciate it and I'm sure I'm not the only one :D Thanks again xoxo

I'm glad you agree. Except I don't think modesty was the reason Tora declined. He simply didn't want to. I was actually a little disappointed when he didn't step up as a leader because it just seemed so natural for him to do it. Shou once said that Tora is very reliable yet he doesn't want to be relied on. Even though he enjoys being bossy. It's quite a complex thing, really. But in the end it's just a title and he keeps supporting Shou a lot so in a way I see it as them sharing that position.

You're very welcome)
It's a lot of work so I really appreciate the feedback))

Oh I was just pointing out he is very modest as well. It probably wasn't the sole reason he declined, I agree, it probably has more to do with the bulk of shouldering responsibilities that maybe he didn't want to feel pressured about. And I think of Alice Nine as a well built engine that requires all of its parts to function, not necessarily in terms of a unit with a leader. They all do their parts and are equally important in my eyes, which is why I didn't feel like the whole "leader switcharoo" thing really affected me in the end. The important thing is that they are happy and producing quality music, as always :D

I can imagine its a lot of work to translate these, yikes! Which is why I'm all the more thankful ;) xoxo

Just to follow this up, I think Hiroto makes a really good host when Tora isn't around, though. He's very dynamic and adorable and really knows how to chat it up and use his charisma. :D I still don't think anyone can beat Tora at his game, though.

Oh don't get me wrong, Hiroto was awesome at hosting (especially on Tora's b-day episode XD loved when he just gets up, puts on his glasses and Tora is all "oh wth" XD) But I thought that it was really funny to have him pop up out of nowhere in stage clothes and just assume leadership like its nothing. I do hope they all get a turn at hosting eventually ;)

To me it was "Aww, baby boy is all grown up now and even trying to host!")) Surely he doesn't have the experience yet and lacks confidence but he is pretty good. But it was funny in November episode when Tora came and he was like "Never mind me, continue hosting", but Hiroto just stepped down right away. Also it was really sweet how Tora specially noted when Shou was hosting the Special Broadcast. He was so supportive and almost proud sort of))
