Re-introduction Post
Hello,I guess? I don't know if someone is reading this, but here we go: It's been six years since I first posted in this journal and four years since I last posted, but then again I only have like three posts so that's not really saying much lol. A few years has passed since then and a lot of things have changed. I'm no longer a teenager - which is kind of sad but atleast I'm no longer in high school yehey! I'm currently in my first year of college taking up Sociology just like Kento and Junta!
In the fandom side, I've been in an on-and-off hiatus. When I first made this journal, I was only thirteen years old and decided to create one in order to join communities so I can catch up in Hey! Say! JUMP and Sexy Zone stuff. However, since I just entered high school, I struggled with my academics especially in Mathematics subjects and my friend who also used to a tobikko left the fandom so became inactive as well.
Around Christmas break of 2015, I decided to watch Johnny's Countdown when a song caught my attention. WHile everyone was singing joyful songs, the group which I used to describe as the "weird senpais of HSJ" sang an emotional ballad. The song felt so sorrowful and nostalgic, it felt like remembering the beautiful as well as the sad moments of a loved lost. It was also lucky for me that a subber was uploading Kanjani Chronicle episodes in YouTube during that time so I was able to watch how hilariously funny Kanjani8 is. From then on, there was no turning back. I fell in love with these funny old men from kansai - how they rose from being given the stepsister treatment in the agency to being one of the most popular group in the agency. Maybe some other time, I can write a whole-ass essay on how much Kanjani helped me through the tough times, but this ones called a re-introduction post and not a Kanjani8 post so I won't go into detail (maybe some other time uwu). But we all know what happened to Kanjani8, how two members have withdrawn from their group etc., Subaru's withdrawal really hurted me that I stayed away from Eito because I always ended up the vague feeling of an aching heart, and sometimes I would even cry. When Ryo withdrawed, I was in the middle of fandom hiatus, but I remembered crying in my boarding house while watching their old videos lol. I hope Ryo is in good terms with the others though as Subaru is still quite close with the remaining members.
Well flashforward right now, the world is thrown in to chaos because of the Covid19 pandemic. Classes were relegated to online platforms, which meant I had more free time than ever. I still love Kanjani8, I really do. I will never love a group as much Eito, that one thing's for sure. I guess I'm still hurting from all the shitstorm that happened in the last two years that I still follow Kanjani8 but really don't actively follow them. Well, if there's a rebound girlfriend/boyfriend, I guess there's a rebound group/s as well? My fandom twitter account was full of SixTONES fans so I became a fan as well, but I've been following them actually ever since Bakaleya days and was already looking forward for their since then. They were also pretty to follow seeing as they have their own YouTube account. Since SixTONES works closely with SnowMan as well, I also became fond of them! I love the relationship dynamic of the older members and Raul lol How they can't help but spoil him and how there's a rivalry between Raul and Michie for Koji's affection.
That's all I guess? look at me writing this whole-ass essay when I haven't started on any of my schoolworks lol.. Some things never change I guess AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
