Of Slouching and Sofas
This is a post to celebrate the latest addition to my growing list of preferences that thoroughly baffled me when I realised I had them:
pretty people being comfortable on cushioned seating furniture!
Yes, I was as surprised as you are.
To clarify, I'm not talking about idols being draped over a leather love chair and smoldering at the camera, I mean not-proper-nor-cool occupying the couch, like you might do in your living room.
So, not this:
but this:
The picture that started it all. Styled hair, leather chair, but no come-hither idol stare, just a slouching Akito.
The picture that made me realise lounging idols are a thing. (It also reminds me that Nakai is actually pretty hot. I tend to forget to pay attention to his looks over what comes out of his mouth. I really, really shouldn't.)
Bonus arms!
Bonus hair! Oh, the hair.
I love how Maru's suave pose and smirk serve to highlight Subaru's plain sitting.
Don't worry though, Maru knows how to properly use comfy chairs:
Fighting evil by moonlight
Sleeping on the couch by daylight
Never running from a real fight
Aaaa Aaaa Eight Rangers
Ryo and couches have a special relationship:
Ohkura → Ryo
Even recently when you called me in a loud voice "Tacchan, Tacchan!" I wondered what had happened, but all it was that you'd gotten your arm stuck between the sofa and a cushion because you'd thrust your arm into that space too deeply and went "I can't get my arm out! Pull me out!"; that was a really kakkowarui scene.

The orange training suits! Ah, memories.
Not a perfectly styled, smoldering idol, no, this is what I want to find in my living room after a long day at work.
