Answers for Random Acts of Poetry Week! Part 2!
Continuation!! Yay~
so! Right to the explanations then!
#4!
Grey skies and tinting, dieing leaves
The unassuming bleakness seems
Like nothing special, yet
That playful breeze does toss your hair
And the days insist on staying warm
And the sun's still bright
But shadows lengthen
Beneath the colored and brilliant leaves
Answer: Maru! It's Nakamaru Yuichi! yay~
Explanation: Ueda once said, an Ueda fans may remember this, that Maru's a pessimist. Yepp. So that was the overall feel for this one: normal and pessimistic. Poor guy lol
And of course, Kame said he's actually the most mysterious too (LOLMaru: "man I woke up this morning in the park when this idiot hit my car!" "Kame: "And I was thinking, 'WHY were you sleeping in a park i your car?!'") which is what the shadows were about.
And of course the playful breeze is talking about his jokes and pranks (mainly with Koki) and the brilliant colours represent how he is interesting and talented when you take a closer look/get to know him better and he's kind and mature too which is what the "the days insist on staying warm" is about, nee?
#5!
Rudely bright with full-blown life
All the world is at its peak
And every one of many moods
Is intense as summer's sun
From violent thunder, rain and hail
To brilliant burning-brightly nights
But gentle, tender sunsets too
Answer: Koki! Tanaka Koki desu~
Explanation: ... does it really need explanation?? lol he just sems to me like the essence of a being who lives life to the fullest in a very 20-year-old way haha if you get what I mean. He's brash, he's rude, he's coarse and violent and suits his penname JOKER well and overall... yeah. You get it.
But! He's also adorably sweet and caring which is why I had to throw in the sunset... sunsets are vivid too, so it keeps the mood, but he takes care of everyone in ways only he can and keeps everyone together and working to their fullest and.. you get my drift lol. I'm not a Koki fan so it's not as deep as it could be, but even I can see that much.
And finally... #6!!
From flirty as the flowers of spring
To cool but pretty as the frost,
A wintertime metropolis
But caring still as kindly sun
That warms your skin and world in fall
Mature and friendly: trees' summer shade
With bursts of feeling not unlike
A winter, spring or summer storm
That though long pressed to come to be
Seems spontaneous nonetheless
Answer: So! You all know by now, the only member left is Kame!
Kamenashi Kazuya: the only member of KAT-TUN who does NOT fit one particular season. Like, really.
Explanation: Kame is every season! Yepp. H'es proffesionally cool and aloof like winter snow, flirty and smiley on-stage like the spring, blooming and maturing nicely and full of kindly life like summer, and mature like fall.
As for the "burst of feeling not unlike..." etc ... that referred to incidents like Ueda's and Kame's fight early on that nearly caused them to split and how he'll allow himself to get so overcome with work that it's a miracle he hardly ever seems to blow up but you know it probably happens anyway... or at least, I think it must haha
Ah yes and the metropolis refers to his professional face, his hardworking and -needs-to-be-busy side.
And yepp...that's it! OWARI!
