I also like that every year Rei's voicelines become less and less disturbing and sad. Right now, he's just enjoying the taste of treats, spending time with friends, admiring the moon, sunrises and sunsets, making a funny mess at random times and enjoying life. He looks more and more like a grandfather, oh no, hehe☆

And also, each new voicelines intonationally sounds much warmer and more comfortable than how pretentiously and artistically Rei talked earlier.

Well, now let's get back to the main topic.

Rei has new spring voicelines <3

He mentions close people quite often in his lines, so there is a little bit about Wataru and Natsume:

"When I was looking at the beautiful spring sky, I saw Hibiki-kun's balloon. It was flying so well"

"I bought some dangos, but there were a lot of them, so I called Sakasaki-kun, and he ate them with me♪"

It's nothing, but I'm very pleased to know that they keep in touch and have a good time together. Imagine Rei and Natsume enjoying dango. It makes you feel some warmth in your soul♡

"Ah, I laughed for the first time in 15 days. I think my facial muscles will hurt tomorrow."

AN UNEXPECTED KIN MOMENT

[anjuyn]

MY CUTIE WEIRDO OH NO

[anjuyn]

OH NO

OH NOOOO

AN UNSOCIALIZED CHILD WITH A COMPLETE LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF SOCIAL NORMS, STRANGE, ANXIOUS AND NAIVE??? DID HE CATCH A CAT OR A PIGEON IN THE PARK FOR LUNCH??? DID HE STEAL OUR WALLET AND STUFF IT WITH BEES TO MAKE US "FEEL GOOD"?????

My son, okay.

[anjuyn]

a quiet child a little out of this world, loving fairy tales, a little crafty, a little mysterious and VERY CUTE. He's my baby now.

[anjuyn]

a genius child with zero emotional range and almost the same zero emotional intelligence? delightfully. This kid has to get along with Rei, so as not to face the burnout of a gifted child one day, hehe♪

[anjuyn]

What the hell is going on with these kids... this bro came from America, managed to threaten the guards first with a court, and then with a fight, TOOK OUT A DEAD BEAR(???) HE CAUGHT FROM SOMEWHERE and stands satisfied.

[anjuyn]

I started reading new idol stories, and OMG, this child IS SO CHAOTIC. he talks so much...

I swear, he sucked my social energy even being 2D, it's a disaster :')

[anjuyn]

this outfit evokes some... mixed feelings¿

btw he has something like a diamond earring here

[anjuyn]

When I saw this, I was healed physically and spiritually, the world was filled with beauty and life got better. It's all thanks to this man. this man CHANGED EVERYTHING.

I watched the new MV performed by Eccentric Five and now I'm mentally balanced again🧘‍♀️

Rei is getting closer to old age every year heheh♪

*A lot of speculation about how the internal hierarchy in the Sakuma clan works and what happens to Rei and Ritsu's parents.

I have been digesting the theory in my head for quite a long time that something like a communal system is practiced in the Sakuma clan. I mean, there is a feeling that the children in the clan are brought up by everyone at once and by no one specific at the same time, as if the concept of "parents" in their family is akin to the concept of "clan".

And if you are lucky enough to have a close relative of your age, he will be your "family". And parents for children are all the adults of the clan who are free and who can and want to take part in the upbringing of a child.

I've been thinking about this for a long time, because both Rei and Ritsu, when mentioning a close family, mean only each other, and "parents" are referred to by them as some kind of distant and detached concept, although we know that Rei constantly interacts with clan members and has been dealing with his relatives since childhood. But he never mentioned how close his relatives were.

THEREFORE.

From these preliminary considerations, I have deduced a theory that, in my opinion, has the right to exist. Probably, Rei and Ritsu simply don't have parents. Perhaps they died under some unfortunate circumstances or something similar, given the health problems within the clan, I think that the mortality of some members is quite likely, especially considering how damn much energy a woman takes away from bearing and giving birth to a child (especially two children in such a relatively short period of time).

The thoughts about this came to my mind because Sakuma siblings considered, according to Rei, "the most noble and pureblood members of the clan," and often children receive nobility by birthright. Therefore, their parents probably could well have been noble members of the clan as well. And after Rei and Ritsu's parents died, random relatives took over the upbringing of the children (and as we know, raising two children is difficult, especially if you're not their parents, and especially if you're simply incapacitated most of the day).

Relatives probably tried to give them proper upbringing, but their state of health and complete isolation from the world, coupled with the lack of real "parental" affection for the Sakuma brothers, Rei and Ritsu were forced to be raised themselves on their own, hence also some of their problems with social norms.

I think Rei they're really the only people close to each other, because they don't have anyone else.

Consequently, Rei and Ritsu were the only truly close people to each other, and hence their strong, sometimes painful attachment to each other, which often occurs in children who have lost their parents and remain single.

sigh.

A little messy, as always, but still.

And the more I think about it, the more interesting it becomes.

sakuma rei energy

panda rei panda rei panda rei!!

I got one very intrusive thought that I despise and hope is not true...

but do you think someone might have tried sexually assaulting Rei since you know his beauty is brought up a lot I mean his gorgeous and he was said to be sourounded by adults a lot and you know how creepy that can be with some adults...ugh...

...oh

OOOHHH💀

I had never thought about it before this question. But this assumption is logical (and creepy).

Knowing this whole culture of idols, we know that idols (and beautiful people in general) very often face harassment both in childhood and adulthood. Rei has always been a smart and anxious pretty boy, afraid of the world, so I think he knew the risks of running into bad people and took some precautions. He was definitely aware of his defenseless position, so I think he didn't stay alone with strangers. I think that makes sense?

But the extent to which these fears are justified makes me shudder. ugh.

[anjuyn]

your rei analyses never fail to make me feel devastated 😭 your most recent one literally has my heart aching

I write these posts with my own hands, but it also hurts me to read them afterwards uugghhh😭😭

I think a lot about how this absolutely unhappy boy grew up to be such a good guy :')
