fukaya kai perfect propose and kijima rio the novelist strike the same chord in my head and for what reason?? their stubborn refusal to expect anything of anyone? their unapologetic yet somehow deeply unhappy ownership of their sexuality? their utter inability to let themselves feel deeply and earnestly about the things they want?

i know they are very different characters playing very different roles in their respective stories but i can't shake the sense that their character arcs might follow a similar curve. which as a kijima rio enjoyer i would wholeheartedly approve 👍

okay but why is he so pretty?

Lovely

Ai (愛), a famous Japanese word meaning "love."

Yes, I know it has multiple readings, but stick with me here.

Having the general meaning of "love" with connotations of affection and even agape (in fact, it's used that way in a certain faith), it can become a massive force.

A source of power for your favorite Magical Girl or battle anime hero, the driving force behind many a romcom and romance plot (sub or otherwise).

We idol fans are familiar with "love," especially since it drives our very hobby and surrounding subculture.

(Love is what's kept this ship floating in the midst of the massive hellscape around us.)

Since it's such a driving force, it has since become the nom personnel of many an idol.

So...

For the purposes of the poll (and because there was only so much space in Tumblr polls), this focuses on members whose names contain "Ai" or whose name was crafted specifically to evoke it (which is why Aibon is there).

You can watch some shows for free by setting VPN to Japan. In other cases I recommend paying for subscriptions to show appreciation and support of content in order to get more of it in the future, but if you can’t, watch on KissKH (better quality), Dramacool or get files from MkvDrama.
