In the first few years when you joined the jimusho, you found it hard to find who you really were.
Yes, you played the guitar and yes, you were one of the Kansai Jr.s and yes, you loved being in Johnny’s Entertainment. You worked out and did sports and you did all the things that the other guys did and you were as manly as any guy could get with defined abs and short hair and a smile that could melt hearts.
But you still hadn’t really found who you were yet.
Truthfully, you didn’t really feel at your best while doing all those ‘guy’ things and although it was fun at times, you realized that it wasn’t something you were very comfortable with. It seemed as if there was some kind of image that you had to keep up and even in V. West you kept up that manly kind of face and image and held yourself back from who you really wanted to be.
But then V.West disbanded, and Kanjani8 was formed and with the other 7 members, you felt as if you could finally relax and just let loose and just be whatever you wanted to be.
In Kanjani8, you found the freedom to be yourself and gradually you let your hair grow longer and you painted your nails (Hina ran in the opposite direction when he saw the sheer number of nail polish colours you had, but Tacchon and Subaru stayed and let you paint their nails and ‘ooh-ed’ and ‘ah-ed’ over it) and you even started wearing skirts (getting hit upside in the head by Hina in the morning just for wearing an ethnic skirt really hurt though, especially when you were just barely awake).
(You've gotten back at Hina for that a year later when you manage to grab his hands and you paint the nails on his right hand a pale pink and this one time, he submits, and you smirk.)
And even though the others teased you for being such a girl and for being so meticulous (it was all in good fun really, and you laughed right along with them), not once were they mean about it, not once did they sneer at you and put you down for being who you wanted to be and you love them immensely for that.
When someone comments rather flippantly about your mode of dress and how guys shouldn’t be dressing up in girls’ clothes and all that, Maru interrupts him suddenly with a loud “PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!” and when the rest of you explode into laughter, the stranger sputters incoherently and gives all of you a weird look.
You smile at him and say meaningfully, “This is part of who I am.”
And without the others saying a word, you know they agree too, and they wouldn’t have it any other way.
