Watching old GEI clip...
I finally got around to watch the GEI episode with Inocchi's wedding announcement. Oh how I cried when watching them...
[Inocchi, omedetou~]I didn't cry because my idol got married with someone (the fanatic fan reaction), I cried watching the other fans reaction at their concert tour. It was beautiful. I know Inocchi himself didn't expect the fans to accept his marriage so easily, but seeing them actually happy with Innochi getting married, wholeheartedly wishing him all happiness, THAT made me cry.
If I wasn't glad to be part of V6 fans before, I sure as hell am now.
It's actually the first time I found such fans. Idol fans are considerably different than other kind of celebrity's fans. They rarely see their artist as a person, rather an object to be worshiped. H/she belongs to no one and everyone amongst fans (if it makes any sense). So I didn't expect that kind of reaction for a marriage announcement of an idol, which is, in my opinion, the biggest decision a person can have in a lifetime.
Take for an example the marriage of a Korean boyband member the previous year sorry, I don't know his name since I'm never into Korean music or entertainment industry. My facebook account was flooded with posts like 'I hope that day will never come', 'I don't want him to get married' among the tame ones.
Sure, Inocchi at that time might not be as popular as Okada, and his image personality is this kind, playful person, or even a family man, imo. but to still be accepted as idol by fans even after he married someone (and if I may mention, his wife is soooooo beautiful XD), and even more his popularity rose so much from before, it's all thanks to his fans, and V6 fans in general. They support them as V6, and more than that, they support V6 members as a real person.
I might even consider myself a fan of V6's fans after that, lol.
The circumstances when he announced his marriage reminds me somewhat of V6 OMG MC collection where Inocchi said that Okada had something important to announce. Honest to god, the very first time I watch it I thought he was going to announce his marriage. With him being all 'I'm gonna announce it here, in my hometown', that's the only thing I can think of. Too bad it's nothing of the sort. Now I wonder if it really was a marriage announcement, would the fans react at the news the same way they did with Inocchi's?
If it's me, I'll definitely cry because my ichiban has finally found his happiness and has his dream fulfilled (I think I read/watch somewhere that his dream is to build a family, have children and grandchildren and basically just being there with his family). I hope when that day come, his fans will still support him the same way Inocchi's did. I know I will, and I hope that day is soon.
Eh... somehow this post has turned from an Inocchi's post into an Okada post... I think I'll end this before it turns into an essay or something...
Oh yeah, while Tonisen are teary eyed with the fans reaction,
Kamisen definitely needs to learn to read the atmosphere...
Inocchi, I wish you even more happiness with your growing family :). Congratulation for your first baby girl XD. Now you have a set~ Kinda curious how his kids look like with a kind and good looking papa and super beautiful mama :3
