“Yabu, why did you write that little message in the magazine?” Shoon laughed as they walked.  “You can call me, you know.”

The midnight air was humid and warm.  A few stars sparkled across the deep sky.  Both idols walked aimlessly.  The street was empty, so there was peace and quiet, which is quite rare in Tokyo.

“Yea, I know.  But ( Read more... )

Hot silos and metal tins burned the exhausted teen’s hands as he picked them up and threw them into the wheelbarrow.  However, Shoon did not scream in pain this time; he was used to the burning materials after two days of work in the nuclear waste dump.

Thunder boomed through the night, its noise was heard, even though the cell was windowless.

The small boy huddled in the corner, sobbing.  Where’s Shoon-kun? What’s happening to him?

“…ahh…more, harder…PLEASE!”  ( Read more... )

The young teen obeyed the old man’s orders.  “Hai!”

Yabu ran into the stern.  A big wave ( Read more... )

“Good morning, boys.”

All four idols dipped their heads in acknowledgement.  “Good morning, Johnny-san,” the Ya-Ya-yah members, except for Yabu chanted in unison.

The old man took a deep breath before continuing.

“Please…take a seat…”

The four young men followed Kitagawa’s advice and sat down in the chairs provided in the ( Read more... )

“NO!  I can’t leave them!” the young idol cried.

The old man sighed.  “Look, Yabu…you’re a great singer…and well, we don’t want to waste your talent…”

The adolescent was in tears now, speechless.  Seeing the boy cry, the man continued.  “Yabu, please don’t cry…calm down, you still have a show up next…it’s your last performance ( Read more... )

Shoon looked up.  The door was slammed open and a person laid on the ( Read more... )

 
“Riiing…”  Yabu answered the call.  It was from Takaki.

“Hello?  Yabu?”

“Yes, Takaki?”

“Umm…we found Shoon…”

Yabu’s face brightened.

“Where?”

“At a bench in Ueno Park, it’s the west side of Ueno Park…but we didn’t talked to him yet, he looks sort of down…Chinen and I thought that since you are Shoon’s closest friends, ( Read more... )
