this is a nice, a bit angsty, take to taguchi being the frontman of KAT-TUN instead of kame..
if i relate this to recent happenings in KAT-TUN, (junno creating the FnS choreography, drama, play, small things that i notice while watching their shows)i can somehow see taguchi as one of the lead acts of the group..
and then i see him being lovingly bullied by the other members and then there goes the leader taguchi thought away..

its just sad that here, to be able to protect kame from breaking from being the sole frontman of KAT-TUN, junno had to step up, and that led to junno and kame's relationship deteriorating..i'm kame-biased so, its hard to read kame like this(though the main focus here is junno)..and junno not meeting komine rena, i agree with what you said about them..junno's career kind of slowed down when it was found out that they're dating..

i was a bit confuse on some parts so i read your post-writing commentary, things cleared up..thanks for that..i'm gonna go read your other fics because this one intrigued me and i like the way you tell your story..

thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks for reading, glad you enjoyed.

I'm always a bit hesitant in my labels, because this isn't a traditionally angst fic--which really are more about fears and anxieties--but to label this simply as gen and AU doesn't quite accurately portray the fact that it's structured (at least in it's original rough drafts) as a tragedy--in traditional Shakespearean format--and the entire piece is meant to be a slow, sorrowful look into a different shape of KAT-TUN.

And yes, I am fully aware that Kame is not portrayed in a positive light in Higher Road--this is deliberate, as he isn't given much of a voice, and when he is given a voice, it's short and fades out. Kame's point of view and justifications are completely null in this story, though after some consideration I've realized that there needs to be other viewpoints to balance out this clearly biased one, so eventually a Kame-pov and Ueda-pov may be joining this. Maybe, as I have no idea how my schedule would allow me to write.

Thank you again, for reading and commenting.
