well i still have to catch up on kame dramas! :') and i think i want to read all the akame classics that i missed out on in the last few years. that's gonna be painful.

(mind telling me what those interviews are / linking me? i probably have seen them, but just in case! :D)

akjsdkfj :D :D :D KAME AND NAKAMARU ARE SO GREAT if you have any time for a short one-shot, check this fic out. it's probably the best kame/nakamaru i've managed to find so far. but for some reason i still can't deal with reading them have sex??? but i think them kissing is the cutest thing imaginable i am really confused. maybe i just haven't found the right smut fic yet.

no but seriously kame and nakamaru are SUPER CUTE TOGETHER. and they're getting a lot of fanservice these days; kame ships himself with nakamaru SO HARD it's ridiculous, but it doesn't feel over-the-top and weird to me like kame/koki fanservice does??? like i think kame and koki are SUPER GREAT PLATONIC FRIENDS AND REALLY CUTE but i absolutely cannot ever ship them, but kame and nakamaru are PERFECT TOGETHER and should make out immediately. in the pv makings kame has been approaching nakamaru with kissy faces, and one time he actually just said, "what if i kissed you and said i was serious? out of the blue? and after drinking a bit?" nakamaru replied, "i would wait a day."

and then when asked what scents they liked, nakamaru replied "i really like kame's vanilla scent!" and everyone was like WHOA WHAT, ARE YOU GONNA CONFESS.

and of course there is the dentist skit in the no more pain con where kame is a vampire and he visits nakamaru the dentist and they are just... SCREAMSSSSS so much fanservice i can't you really need to just watch it, it's incredible.

I JUST CAN'T WITH THOSE TWO. i'm sorry you probably didn't expect so much incoherent screaming.

dynamics between the five of them are great! THEY ARE CUTE, they seem to be becoming better friends.

i also wrote the first paragraph of a fic where pin are best friends with benefits but it's essentially a fic where jin has sex with pi and then they have a deep meaningful convo about how jin is so in love with kame and nothing is ever going to work out bawwww

oh wow there are still decent akame fic writers out there?

Ummm I can't find it right now :/ will need to dig for a long time through my tumblr archives but I think it was a general interview where they asked Kame about his life/career/future and his answers were just really down to earth and thoughtful and idk. I remember Kame during One Pound Gospel (where I was still attempting to keep up with fandom) and was just struck by how much more comfortable he suddenly became - like he finally grew into his own skin and accepted himself and that quiet confidence really shone through in the few interviews I read after I stopped keeping up. I used to think it was Kame who always seemed just a little bit uncomfortable in front of the camera but he kind of switched with Jin (during the final months when Jin was with KAT-TUN at least idk)

ahaha omg this is so weird because it's sort of like seeing two friends you had never thought would get together, well, get together?? IT'S JUST. yeah. IDK. KoKame never really appealed to me either tbh but it was obvious the two of them were getting closer at some point and I'm glad they're good friends now? hahaha but I'll check out the fic maybe?

I'm so glad the five of them are getting along but it's so hard to imagine them growing old and doing an ARASHI for some reason? Like I always feel like there should be an endpoint for KAT-TUN, but it doesn't feel like JE is like KPop where groups have a natural break for army service or disband (I mean, Shinhwa broke records for being a longstanding KPop group and they've got 14 years...pretty sure ARASHI has more or something?). Or imagining them being married...aren't KinKi Kids like...in their mid thirties now and still not married? The idol commitment in JE feels so long and neverending. Not sure how to explain it but I hope they stay together? CONFUSED THOUGHTS RLY they will forever be Real Face era in my head.

ahaha omggg you should continue writing it : DD

ahhh, there's the mellitus fic verse by adistantsun which was started back in 2007 but was added to in subsequent years. a lot of goodfic has apparently come out of kizuna_exchange, which i'm pretty sure was started after i left the fandom. i mean, akame's not really a major thing in fandom these days, but it would seem that from 2008 till even 2011 it was going pretty strong.

kame's more genuine these days, i think. he's more willing to not just be cool and sexy in front of the camera, but to be a little more natural. he's learned not to worry as much over drama ratings and such things anymore, and i think his popularity has increased which helps, especially because he's getting a larger male fanbase, i think? being the host of a sports news programme and all, getting to indulge in his love for baseball. and if you believe the whole thing with kyon-kyon happened, which would have definitely affected his insecurities about himself, then he's had a lot of time to get over that and maybe he's learnt some things from that relationship. and he's just grown older and matured. he's the youngest member, after all, and growing up in je and not finishing high school has to have had some effect. and kat-tun has got over their previous differences, i'm sure, and i think having a better relationship with his work colleagues helps, when kame's clearly a person who's desperate (not as desperate these days) to please other people. and honestly, being an akame believer, i think maybe jin not being around anymore makes it easier for kame in some way, if that makes sense.

kat-tun talks about going out for meals together more often these days. and once, they were having dinner at their hotel and then it was getting late and kame started rambling and everyone went back to their rooms apart from nakamaru and they stayed just enjoying each other's company :')

(i wrote kame/nakamaru fic akjsdkfjdkf)

i don't know, i can't ever envision them ending. especially now, seeing the strong connection between them and their fans. the thing is, kat-tun exploded with popularity at their debut, they've always been ridiculously popular, and maybe that's where the sense that they can't last forever comes from, because you'd rather see them end while they're still blazing bright rather than drift off into the dark. no other je group has managed to do what they did. but i don't want to see them end. i also really ridiculously want to see kame happily married and with kids, and i can imagine koki would make a great dad too. and junno, a bit. ueda and nakamaru i can't picture married for some reason. :| but yeah, it's weird, sometimes my brain's still stuck in 2006/2007 and i can't believe jin's gone, can't believe it's been SIX YEARS since their debut, and also ueda's new haircut confuses me immensely because it's like he's a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON (probably because he kept his tea-brown girly hair for so long and now it's black and too short and weird).

that was the most disjointed comment ever

ahaha omg wow...this ship just never quite dies, does it? And if Jin has a daughter, I will kind of get chills because I wrote a Jin-and-his-daughter fic and it was the last JE fic I ever wrote and it was future!fic and it's kind of like. He's going to be a dad? And it's a bit scary? And yeah. Future!fic.

Definitely he's become more natural and more easy going. Not as uptight and anxious about himself, and I really identify with that because I feel like I've done the same? Like...become more relaxed and not so afraid of appearing ridiculous (though I still am, usually). It really shines through in the way he carries himself. And I had no idea he's doing sports reporting so OOO: And what was the kyon-kyon thing? I'm assuming it's a relationship? And yess, I always sort of forget Kame's the youngest - and now I realise how strange it is that he was made the leader (well, Ueda was but he did nothing, really, and it was, really, always Kame tbqh). And yes, I agree about the Jin thing. Well, I think Jin not being around was truly the better thing to do considering circumstances because he never looked quite comfortable with them post USA so. ):

yaaay aw they are adorbs ;v;

oh my god, so much yes at the fact you can't see Ueda/Maru married because IS UEDA EVEN HUMAN IDEK. HE JUST DOESN'T SEEM REAL TO ME. Like Ryeowook from Suju. Like. I seriously can't imagine him leading a normal existence. It's funny cos Maru always had the most 'ordinary' face hahahaha but yeah, it's weird to picture any of them married but Koki I can see and MAAAYBE Kame. I want him to be happy but I feel like...I can't picture a person for him? lmao idk.

AND YES, UEDA'S HAIR. He literally had that hair for like 4 years or something omg. I haven't seen any recent photos of them.

jin has sort of disappeared recently. there hasn't really been news of him since the marriage announcement, i think. WHEN IS THE BABY EVEN DUE. and oh god, yeah. future!fic lol it's the futureee already.

yeah! he's been hosting this programme called going! sports & news for over two years now, i think? from what i've gathered (i haven't watched any of it, just seen gifs and read about it), he spends the majority of it being really cute and groping baseball players??? ahhh, the kyon-kyon thing! don't you remember, we were still in fandom at that point. there was this thing where he was apparently dating koizumi kyoko and then he wanted to marry her but je wouldn't let it happen or something so he had to break up with her. i'm not sure about the details, actually.

LOL YES UEDA. WHAT EVEN. WHO IS HE. now that i've watched more cartoon kat-tun i am even more baffled by him. i used to write really domestic fluffy junda and now i'm like...??? HOW. ueda's like superrrr enthusiastic about girls (every time he hears that there's going to be cute female guests on ctkt he's like YESSSSSSS), and apparently he hates being alone, he can't do anything alone (completely the opposite of the image i had of him), and then he's a boxer!!!! who straps weights to his ankles when they're climbing mt fuji and still walks faster than anyone else... who likes to race people up stairs.... i mean seriously WHAT IS HE. i just don't understand.

well, i can't picture a person for any of them. i've worked out that kame likes older women who are into outdoor activities and probably not afraid to roll around in the mud or something, but it's still hard to actually picture him in a relationship.

ueda got a buzz cut, he was basically as bald as koki had been at one point, and now his hair's grown back out a bit, so he looks like this.
