Lovely fic and definitely went well with the theme. In both the literal sense--an idol being "in" and then falling "out" of popularity and the figurative sense--growth and how time always leaves people behind

lol lol at you loving the Massu bits. I like Massu´s recent interactions with Shige and I am secretly a big Massu fan so <3

thank you for all the lovely words about my fic. I am thrilled someone was able to enjoy it this way because writing a future fic and making Shige leave JE was quite a plunge.

I really, really loved this!
And it's not only because i'm Shige biased xD
The story really was great and surprisingly realistic (as not so many tend to be tht way these days)... And this was the first time i've ever had the thought of 'What will happen when Johnny dies?' lol;D But that's beside the point.
All in all, this was a great thing to read and tank you for writing and sharing it! ^^

[sashjun]

ahaha Shige is a good bias to have ;D

If Johnny dies . . . my first though is, sorry for the morbidness, is that the funeral will be one "hot" event. yeah that is inappropriate.

thank you for reading and commenting.

I literally burst out laughing when i read tht ;D
But damn, you are right, again xD
*Imagines all her favorite Johnnys all dressed up and packed together* *flails*

I love it. And I love the way you wrote it.

What I liked the most here is the fact that Shige had all those confusion and internal tirade. It really became a journey for him. :)

This is a very very nice read. Thank you for sharing.

i like your icon, it made me lol.

and I love you for loving my fic ;D thank you for reading and commenting. and following Shige along during his tirades ;D
