Happy Birthday, Suzu-chan!!
Today, my idol turns 40. Forty. He's twenty-one years older than me. But I don't care. How is this man 40 and still able to look like a dude in his 20s and sound like he's still in his teens, whether he is singing or speaking? That doesn't matter, although I am still of the theory that he had consumed the drop of sun somewhere along the way . That or he is a faerie in disguise along with Mizuki Nana and Yukarin and Yocchin.
Suzu-chan, unlike most of my other interests has remained one of my longest lasting obsessions,loves and since 2009, my collection has only grown and grown and now...I own all of his albums except for box universe and Go, one single, almost all the magazines that have him on the cover and one single. He is the one thing that has remained constant in my life aside from my family and well...he may not know me personally but I'm glad to say that he 'watched' over my teenhood. (And yes...that is my bed btw. XD) At the moment, I'm marathoning all of his live concerts to see the evolution of his live singing.
My collection as of September 2014...I feel insane.
2014 has been a rather remarkable year for Suzu-chan, IMO. He finally made it into the top 10 of the Oricon charts and held a spot in the top five for a number of consecutive days. (Yes...I know he got number one as Masato already. And that moment of sweet victory when the big three had all been number one before!! Even if not as themselves, at least as their characters!) Not only that, his longest tour to date, Lantis Matsuri (which is confirmed coming to Singapore! Whether Suzu comes, I'm hoping), Orepara 2014, KiraFes 2014 and then the announcement that he's gonna perform during Animax Musix <3 <3 <3 (Later I'll tell you why that's kinda important). So maybe he doesn't sell as well as some other seiyuu but what matters most is that he is being recognised for his singing skill rather than his sales. I love that he stays true to himself and always tries something new, as seen through his latest works and whatnot. I hope that even beyond forty years, Suzu-chan will continue to remain the ever energetic drop of sun that he usually is and will continue to give us much needed hope in times of adversity.
For now...I shall retreat to my Kenichi live videos and drool or fangasm or fangirl.
PS: Regarding why Animax Musix is important: More often than not, the singers invited there come for AFA in Singapore/Indonesia. I said enough. But allegedly....Kiiyan hates flying so I can only dream of seeing GRANRODEO live. ;______; BUT....I just pray that Kenichi comes for Lantis Matsuri SG as well while he's at it. Five people have requested for him to come over (quite high compared to other artistes) and well...Amuse made him among one of the first few suggested artistes. There is still hope!!! Let's make Suzu-chan's first Singapore appearance a reality!
PPS: I think if Suzu-chan were to come to SG indeed, he would never want to come back. The eternal summer (pun not intended with regards to Momo-kun) and unlimited food choices are sure to spoil him. :D Aaaaaaaaaaand as of now, I'm having difficulty with my fan selection for Animax Musix's poll. :( Gimme some suggestions pls....lol
