Belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Keita Tachibana (橘慶太) and Ryuichi Ogata (緖方龍一)!
(Beware of the cheesiness that is to follow)
First of all, I'm sorry for not dedicating birthday posts for each of your birthdays. I needed to study for my Finance and Philosophy long exams, both of which took place on your birthdays (Finance on the 16th and Philosophy on the 17th) and I had a homework to submit for my Multimedia class today. But even though I was busy, I never forgot your birthdays. After all, w-inds. wouldn't have come to existence if you weren't born into this world.
To Keita: Among the three, you are the one who has physically changed the most. I was looking at your pictures from your childhood days to the present a few days ago, and I still get surprised at how you have transformed from the cute, adorable, awkward, skinny boy to the muscular, confident and handsome man that every fan knows of now. It's hard to believe that eight years has passed since you debuted, and I'm really glad to see that you haven't changed from the dorky boy that you were before. Your concern for your fans is also one of your most endearing qualities, and seeing you being so friendly to the fans only increases my love for you. I wish you all the best in your career, be it as an actor, a singer/artist, or as a model.
To Ryuichi: I used to think you look like my brother when he was still a kid, but his appearance changed when puberty hit while you still look the same. Something about you changed this year though. I no longer see you as the cute and adorable Ryuichi Ogata. For some reason, there's a manly aura I'm getting whenever I look at your pictures that were taken this year. The hotness factor seemed to have suddenly gone way up. You seemed to have suddenly matured from the Ryuichi who was the prankster of the group (imo). You always look so reserved during interviews and live appearances nowadays that Ryohei looks like he has more energy than you. I also pray that you will always be happy in what you are doing, and that you will be successful in the years to come. (I just realized that you're giving off a mysterious aura that's attracting me. lol)
You guys are so wonderful and I hope you will always remain true to yourselves. ♥
And this is completely random but I can totally imagine Keita as a model/actor, Ryohei as a dancing instructor and Ryuichi as a mountaineer/rock artist/producer if they were to have alternative careers.
