Amo tus escritos! Estaba buscando algo así desde hace mucho.

Quería preguntarte- ¿A qué yanderes les importaría tu consentimiento y a quienes no?

Si te hace sentir incómodx escribir algo así, puedes ignorarme.

Author's note: Anon, ¿puedo decirte que te amo?

ADORO ESTA IDEA, Y SIEMPRE LA QUISE HACER PERO NO ENCONTRABA UN BUEN CONTEXTO, PERO ¿EL CONSENTIMIENTO? DIOS QUE BUENA IDEA.

/english: Anon, can I tell you that I love you?

I LOVE THIS IDEA, AND I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO IT BUT I DIDN'T FIND A GOOD CONTEXT, BUT CONSENT? GOD WHAT A GOOD IDEA.

Also, thank you so much for your very original request <3<3<3!!!

So, with your amazing idea, let me open a new series of posts that I have long needed to do.

It will be called

1999

the whispers in a classroom felt so loud despite it was just whispering. yoshida hoshiko stood behind the homeroom teacher as she peeking the class from behind. "hoshiko-chan, come greet your friends." the teacher said, showing her child-friendly bright smile in order to not scare the child away. slowly moving to the front, hoshiko stunned at the view of her now classmates. "h-hello, i'm y-yoshida hoshiko. i'm from america." hosiko said shyly as she looked at her feet. the whispering continues and then the teacher clapped her hands. "alright, how about hoshiko-chan take a seat next to emma-chan?" the teacher said as an arm raise up indicating that she's emma-chan. hoshiko walked her way towards the mention table and the girl, emma, looked at her way. "nice to meet you, i'm emma." the girl introduced herself, smiling. hoshiko smiled shyly and took her seat.

"i'm hoshiko."

-

after school, while hoshiko clearing up her desk and put her items back into her backpack, she felt someone approaching her. hoshiko turned around and it was emma. "would you like to come to my house?" emma asked. "i had to ask my mom first." hoshiko told emma and emma just nodded her head, understanding. "it's okay, we can go ask her together." emma replied, causing hoshiko smiled shyly. hoshiko never had friends back in america, it was because she's different. her family moved to japan before she was born and right after she was born, her parents immediately registered her as american-born japanese. due to that, kids at her kindergarten back then wasn't into accepting diversity. therefore that's why hoshiko was a bit taken aback towards emma's friendliness.

as soon as they arrived at the front gate of the school, hoshiko saw her mom standing while carrying her baby brother. "mama!" hoshiko shouted, running towards her mom's way. "hoshiko-chan!" yoshida airi greeted as she wrapped her arms around her daughter. then saw a girl behind her daughter. "who's this?" yoshida airi asked. hoshiko turned around and gesturing emma to stood next to her, emma did so, smiling at yoshida airi. "this is my new friend, emma-chan!" hoshiko introduced as yoshida airi held out her hand. "nice to meet you emma-chan, thank you for being hoshiko's first friend here." yoshida airi said and emma reached for yoshida airi's hand and shook it. "i am happy to be hoshiko-chan's friend+" emma said, making hoshiko blushed and yoshida airi chuckled. "that's a relief." yoshida airi said.

"that's a relief that your mom allowed you to come to my house right?" emma asked and hoshiko felt guilty for it. her mom has come all the way to school to picked her up with a baby brother in a carrier ended up hoshiko wanted to play at a friend's house. 'it's not that they have time to play with me.'

'later okay hoshiko, mama needs to attend to aoi for now.'

'hoshiko, please understand us, aoi is still a baby and needs our attention more than you do. later papa take you play outside okay?'

-

"i'm home and i bring a friend too!" emma greeted as she took off her shoes, followed by hoshiko. "good afternoon." hoshiko greeted. sano mansaku came into the front hallway to see the girls. "oh welcome home emma and welcome." sano mansaku greeted, smiling. "this is hoshiko-chan, she's new in my school." emma introduced as hoshiko bowed her head. "nice to meet you." hoshiko said. "it's the middle of the year, how come she's new?" a voice spoken up and it was mikey. "shut up." sano mansaku said and just knocked on mikey's head, causing him to whimper. hoshiko watching the whole scene and she just giggling. mikey looked at hoshiko while rubbing the spot on his head, smiling shyly.

few months later, as hoshiko adjusted to her new life in japan, her friendship with emma blossomed. same goes to mikey. whenever hoshiko is in his house, he would like to stay at home instead of playing with keisuke or with sanzu, or both of them. he would always stood behind walls to listen to her voice, especially her giggling, because it makes his heart warms up. he don't know what love is but if he could describe one, it would be the one that warms his heart.

ever since then, he could feel something weird in his heart. he don't know what it is but he knew he didn't like it.

"yo mikey, what are you doing?" mikey was shocked by the sudden voice as he looked up and saw shinichiro. hearing the girls giggling, shinichiro smirked at mikey, causing the nine year-old blushed. "mikey you weird." shinichiro said and left him at the hallway. "what do you mean by that shin-nii!" mikey shouted, causing the two girls in the kitchen to stop their doings and went to the hallway to see the ruckus. "mikey!" emma shouted, placing her hands on her waist. hoshiko watched the scene as mikey left and went outside of the house. smiling at mikey's action, hoshiko followed emma back into the kitchen as they were preparing for dinner.

at the playground, mikey just swinging at the swings as keisuke and sanzu were swinging at the monkey bars upside down. "yo mikey, what are you daydreaming about?" keisuke asked. "maybe..." sanzu started as mikey alerted the tone used by sanzu and stood up, walking towards sanzu's way. "what, maybe what?" mikey challenged him, making sanzu shut his mouth quiet. keisuke sighed. "it's okay you know." he said, making mikey looked at his way. "we all knew you like emma's friend." keisuke added. this time, mikey ran away from the playground to his home.

once arrived back at home, mikey opened the front door and see hoshiko's back. hearing the front door opened, hoshiko turned around to see mikey and smiled at him warmly. "welcome back mikey-kun! you're just in time." hoshiko greeted and mikey confused. "for what?" asked mikey as hoshiko looked at the hallway and then turned back to him. "we're going to visit your mom, i can't wait to meet her. i wonder if your mom and my mom-" "SHUT UP!" mikey shouted, making hoshiko shut up and just looked at mikey.

'why is he acting like this?'

"go home hoshiko, i don't want to see you ever again." mikey fumed, making hoshiko confused. "what do you mean mikey-kun?" hoshiko asked back, truly confused by this sudden persona. "i hate you!" this time mikey yelled aggresively, making hoshiko flinched by the word. "because of you, all of my friends belittled me. just go home." mikey confessed. tears building up and with that, hoshiko ran out of the sano residence. "manjiro, what was that?" shinichiro asked, as he has been standing right after hearing mikey shouted earlier to see what was the fuss about. mikey ignored him and told him that he will be waiting outside.

that was the last time yoshida hoshiko went to the sano residence because right after hoshiko went back to her family residence, she found that her parents has been packing their things because they had to move back to america since her grandfather was fallen ill and no one was there to take care of him.

remembering mikey's words, hoshiko obeyed her parents and without last farewell to her best friend, sano emma, hoshiko left japan the last time with a heavy heart.

-

days later, sano sakurako, mikey and shinichiro's mom was announced dead. emma learnt that her best friend has left japan and not talking to mikey for a week. and with that, mikey has been feeling weird about himself, like the jekyll and hyde situation.

"laugh, haruchiyo." mikey said as haruchiyo was on his knees, laughing his heart out with slits on the sides of his mouth. keisuke was on the ground, seeing his friends with blood, haruchiyo's blood on mikey's hand and haruchiyo's blood on his mouth. shinichiro shocked with the situation and immediately brought haruchiyo to the hospital for treatment. as for keisuke, it was best for him to go home for the time being.

later that night, shinichiro confronted mikey regarding the afternoon event and mikey could say was, "what ... got into me? when i came to, i saw what i had done to haruchiyo's face." confused by his own action, as if it wasn't him who did that earlier. "i'm sorry shin-nii, i don't know why i did that earlier." looking on the ground, shinichiro just sighed at his younger brother. "manjiro, it is not me that you should say those words to." shinichiro said to mikey and the next day, mikey and shinichiro visited haruchiyo at the hospital for haruchiyo's forgiveness.

-

in his fifth grade, mikey met his friend for life, his anchor, a kid with dragon tattoo on his temple. draken, ken-chin. "you're mikey-kun, right?" draken asked, making mikey nodded his head at him. "yeah, that's me." mikey admitted as he popped in his lollipop into his mouth. "what is it?" mikey asked. "my middle school seniors are asking for you." draken informed. "if you don't want to, i mean-" "i'll go with you." mikey cutted draken off.

"since you asked, i'll come along." mikey reasoned and after that, mikey followed draken right after he placed his stuffs at school.

"let's be friends, kenchin."

-

2003

four years after hoshiko left japan, her family decided to move back to japan right after her grandfather died. it has been a year since they moved and hoshiko's brother, aoi, went to the same elementary school that hoshiko used to go to.

"mikey!" the five boys grunted, looking back to see mikey on his glory hawk maru scooter. mikey who keep a straight face, just ignoring their whines. as mikey arrived, all five of them got off from their bike, except for mikey.

while baji was dragging mikey's scooter to find a gas station, the five of them went to the beach. at the beach, both draken and mitsuya were racing their way to the sea while pahcin and kazutora were relaxing under a shade, enjoying the beach view. kazutora looked around, weirded. "where's mikey?"

"hey!"

mikey approached keisuke and his scooter. "i forgot my swim trunks." mikey told him and as soon as he arrived to where keisuke stood at, mikey raise up his leg and kicked his scooter to the curb making both keisuke and the other gang members shocked. "hey ass-holes, why did you hurt the most important thing to me?" mikey asked as rage filling his body. "but you did that!" one of the other gang members mentioned and with that, mikey swung his leg and the guy with a second. mikey turned his head to the side and looked at keisuke, "baji, you're not hurt right? i'm sorry for you to sacrificed yourself for something like this." mikey said. keisuke watched mikey's back. "you still can stand right? cause we're going to slaughter them all!"

-

shinichiro, who was smoking outside of his bike shop, saw mikey riding the scooter to his way. "hey shin-nii! i totally ruined hawk maru!" mikey said and rubbing the back of his head. "could you fix this for me?" mikey asked, making shinichiro snickered.

right after shinichiro fixed the scooter, mikey left the workshop. then a boy came to the workshop, approaching shinichiro. "are you sano?" the boy asked, making shinichiro turned around. "that would be me." shinichiro said as the boy held out a letter, giving it to shinichiro. "it's from my sister." the boy said and after that, he left. shinichiro was dumbfounded, assuming that a girl tried to confess to him by using her little brother.

happy with his delusion, shinichiro skipped his way back into his workshop.

"how can i get stronger?" a boy whimpered as he was on his knees. tears welling up his eyes as he looked up at shinichiro. "i want to be like you, i want to be a hero!" the boy shouted, making shinichiro smiled. "a hero, huh?"

"i should've gotten it properly like this too."

later that night, shinichiro opened the letter to read it on what his secret admirer wrote for him. "oh? what is this?" shinichiro asked to himself. coming out of his room, he searched for emma or mikey or whoever he saw first to give the letter to as he read that it wasn't for him in the first place. "emma, are you in here?" shinichiro asked as he entered the kitchen to see emma working on dinner. emma turned around. "hm, what is it?" emma asked and shinichiro handed the letter to her. emma looked at the letter then looked back at shinichiro. shinichiro nodded at her and emma took the letter. "you might want to take a seat for this emma." shinichiro warned. emma looked at him, pulling the dining chair next to her and sat down. shinichiro do the same thing with a seat opposite to emma as emma opened the letter and starts reading it.

"yo mikey." draken greeted as mikey entered their usual café. smiling, mikey walked his way to where draken sat at. but then, he saw someone familiar. "hoshiko?" mikey muttered. the familiar eyes that he knew looked at him back, turned to be a boy.

"i'm home." mikey shouted, entering the house. the house seemed gloomier than ever. mikey entered the kitchen and saw his grandfather, brother and sister, sat at the dining table as emma was sobbing. she looked up to see mikey. "m-mikey..." emma muttered his name. sano mansaku pat her head. mikey felt unease with the situation. "here, mikey. read it." shinichiro said as he handed out the letter towards mikey. taking the letter from shinichiro, mikey went off to his room.

plopped on his bed, mikey opened the letter.

after everyone in the sano family learned the truth about hoshiko, all of them couldn't sleep well that night.

-

august 14th, 2003, shinichiro went to meet hoshiko in heaven. smiling, shinichiro chuckled as he saw hoshiko in front of his motorbike shop right after he was killed by kazutora after learning that keisuke was in his shop, attempting to steal a motorbike that he was about to present it to mikey for his birthday.

"i miss you, shin-nii." hoshiko said as she approaching him with a hug. shinichiro hugged back, crying. "i miss you too brat, now let's go. we can the meet the others when they are ready." shinichiro said as he placed his hand on hoshiko's shoulder and walked their way towards the light.

-

"Until now, I lived life thinking I was all alone But now I can move on 'cause it could be the two of us If you feel the same way too."

[withered-rose-unbreakable-lotus]

MY-GOD! WHERE-DOES-ONE-START! Ok so I watched a few scenes from the last 2 Tokyo Revengers live action movies (couldn't watch the whole thing cause there were no subs but I wanted to see Nijiro play this type of role soooo bad to wait) and...just get me fucking there pleaaase! When this live action came out, people were like ok it's coming for Crows Zero-WHAT CROWS ZERO, CROWS ZERO COULD-NEVER! Back when I started watching Japanese series, I was watching lots of those with deliquents and all and, because I was crazy about Oguri Shun, I had watched Crows Zero too. Even back then, I was disappointed after watching, cause I had heard soooo much about it, but after all that I had watched, that movie wasn't that of a big deal for me. I felt the pacing was weird, the characters didn't have enough depth, but I enjoyed the fights. It's also one of my least favorite movies of Oguri Shun. But back to Crows Zero, cause the comparison isn't why I'm losing it.

First of all, I think they did a decent job with the plot, which isn't always easy to see in live actions. Second of all, the choreography is probably one of the best fighting choreos I have ever seen in a Japanese movie of this type. The strong launches were brutal too, so much in fact that I hoped they were yanking dolls around and not real people, like you know, stunt men. If those were real people *slow clap, standing ovation* omg and I hope you're ok.

Now for the acting part....I have seen most of these actors in other roles and I can't stress enough how important it is to have a good director, cause some of these guys...I have no words. I won't speak for everyone just for those who stood out to me the most. I can't tell a lot about Ryo Yoshizawa, cause, even though I fell in love with his acting from the first movie, I haven't watched his work anywhere else, but, this man's eyes...he acts with the fucking eyes alone sometimes like...I dunno, it's like, the way he depicts Mikey, the pain, that look like "I've seen shit in my life", etc. And that immense difference of his stare as Mikey in the past versus the one in the present from the previous movie. It's amazing to me how a person can have a straight face, like 1 expression on and still be able to depict different emotions the way he did. All my life I thought that if you wanna act, especially when it comes to feelings, you got to use your expressions a lot (not exaggerate them though cause then we move to overacting which I am personally not a fan of) but this guy proved me wrong. Moving on to Yuki Yamada. I have a love and hate relationship with this dude, cause in some stuff I hated him and others I liked him, but as Draken? Take my money. I think his character is a little more huggable when he plays him though. I didn't get that feeling from the anime from Draken. Like, I like him and all, he's fun, an amazing friend etc but somehow, maybe because Yamada's face is cutesie and not as "blank" or "chill" like the anime, he looks like this big bear you wanna hug. Like, it's a little cuter for me for some reason. As far as this movie is concerned, I liked the consistency. Everyone who played in the previous movie showed amazing consistency and sure that is also because the movies weren't made that far away from each other, imo. I reaaally really liked seeing him in this role again. Next up, Mahiro Takasugi. Honey dove, petit man I never expected I'd see in such a movie...I liked him. But, like I said earlier overacting isn't my thing so, there were moments I think he could have played it at a lower tone, but at this point I think it's his style. I used to think he did that only with comedy but, based on what I've watched so far from him, this is how he shows strong emotions so I get it. I loved his casting first and foremost. I think the guy he played really matched his uhhhhhh how do you say that, presence, his demeanor? It just felt like it really suit him, you know? And I just couldn't get passed that hairstyle at first and how it actually worked when he acted all deliquent like when he went to pick a fight with Baji. Now I want to see him in such role again. So surprised, so happy to see him like that and nailing the role. But I have to admit this isn't the first time he's surprised me. I think nth beats the pierced bad boy role he once played. I don't even remember the name of the movie cause I hated it but his role-my goodness xD. Full on visual kei out of nowhere. xD I like it when actors try many different things. Next up I'd like to give it to Kento Nagayama who, even though I didn't watch the full thing and had no subs to understand everything, he managed to make me like him, laugh with him, get insanely angry at him and then sympathize and cry with him from scene to scene. I think it takes real skill to do that without your audience knowing what you're saying or following the plot step by step. I'd also like to mention that I have watched only the first season of Tokyo Revengers in anime so I knew very few and vague stuff about the season on which these 2 movies were based off, which made me even more impressed about what he was doing. I want to see this man in other movies too, now, cause, like Yoshizawa I have yet to watch sth from him and I am really interested to see his acting in other things. (1/2)

Hayashi Yuu LINE Interview (2022)

I'm on a roll this week. I wanted to translate Hosoya's and Hatanaka's interviews but procrastinated for so long that I don't know which ones others have and haven't translated. I ended up translating Hayashi Yuu's interviews instead.

Original article: Line

―― The sequel to Tokyo Revengers has been confirmed, so it's getting pretty exciting, right?

Tokyo Revengers is such a fun topic, and by now I'm pretty certain that many people have come to like it. It makes me really happy that it has become so well-known.

―― On another subject, how has the reception been towards Mikey?

Mikey as a leader is charismatic, coldly calculating when angry, is boyishly cute and so on, and I think it's good that he's portrayed with a variety of expressions. And he's strong too. I think the gap between his boyishness when hanging out with Draken and his friends versus his strength when fighting is an appealing part of him.

When his friends get hurt, Mikey would pitch in the fight. With that having been said, there is also an unstable side to him with moments when his thoughts waver, but with Draken as his anchor Mikey's able to exist as Mikey, I think. I feel like Mikey imperfectly has a cuteness that you can't just let go of.

―― It seems like Mikey's line 「ひよってる奴いる？ いねえよな！」 (…anyone scared? See? There's no one!) became viral.

It's awesome, right? I think it got big because of TikTok. People were uploading homage videos of that line, that I guess it even led to little kids knowing Mikey just from his line.

―― Do you personally feel that the impact (of the series) on your surrounding has been huge?

Friends around me have been saying that. Many have been coming up to me too. All of my family have also become fans of Tokyo Revengers. I have twin older sisters, and because of our age gap and that we're of different genders we didn't really keep in touch. But when they came to know that I was in Tokyo Revengers, they watched it themselves and started to really like anime and seiyuu. We met on New Year's Day and talked up a storm about anime (laugh). Feels like it's something that's given us this chance of a family reunion.

―― Thank you for this lovely episode. By the way, are your twin sisters both Mikey fans? (Is Mikey their oshi?)

I think so! (laugh) My sister's daughter, my niece likes Mikey. But she's a fan of the live action Mikey's actor Yoshizawa Ryo, so sadly I don't think it's because of me (laugh).

―― This time, we have recorded 700 voice patterns for this project. Let us know, is there any part that you realise is different from the anime recording sessions?

For the anime ver., I had to match the spoken lines to the animation. It was much easier for this as I could go on my own timing. I did the popular lines from the manga and anime following the vibe faithfully. There are also 'levels of intimacy' in this project, so with that in mind I adjusted my acting for the differing levels of intimacy.

―― The changing 'levels of intimacy' is an interesting feature of LINE CLOVA. Have you personally used LINE CLOVA?

I use it a lot, and I think I've already maxed mine! My first impression was that chibi Mikey seemed so cute. Even though he looked so cute, he was so cold at the start because of the low level of intimacy. The 'he won't look at me!' feel got me addicted, it seemed so amusing so I talked to it a lot.

―― Out of the dialogue lines recorded for this project, is there any line that you think Tokyo Revengers fans and Mikey fans mustn't miss?

I think the ones where Tokyo Revengers character names are mentioned are interesting and definitely not to be missed. The ones when he says 'Draken', the ones where he mentions his impression of Draken and makes a promise to Draken are interesting too. Out of the roughly 700 lines recorded, many follow the events that occured in the original work and anime, and it makes me happy that there's a variety included. 'Omurice', 'the flag's not up!', and so on. There's also a playful exchange where 'Hayashi Yuu', 'people said that we sound similar' are mentioned. The small playful mentions make me really happy.

―― They're lines that would make fans spontaneously smile right!

Googling myself is kind of a hobby of mine (laugh). Seeing what people say when searching Hayashi Yuu on LINE CLOVA, and there are also those who tweet about me. I'm really thankful.

―― LINE CLOVA x Tokyo Revengers has a Valentine's special project where users can say lines to Mikey, and it seems like something that would be well-received by Mikey fans.

(Looking at the dialogue lines) this is great! Has the feel of Mikey as a boyfriend, kind of lover-like, very different from the usual atmosphere of the dialogues with Mikey and it seems fun. Everyone please try it too, I want to hear what you all feel about it.

―― Here's a question about Valentine's Day-- which Tokyo Manjikai member do you think would receive the most chocolate?

There's only one in my mind, Mitsuya! Though he's strong in fighting, he's also kind and takes care of others, and he's also able to sew as the head of the handicraft club. He seems to be someone who has it all. While he's in a biker gang, that he's also in the handicraft club would make him likeably popular, speaking without the bias of a female gaze. As a member of the handicraft club he'd probably get a lot of chocolates.

Even though Mikey has a sweet tooth, talking about whether he can win over a girl… he doesn't seem like someone who'd have a common ground with girls so he's probably not going to receive chocolates (laugh). I think Mikey's fine with just friends, fighting and his bike.

―― How about Takemichi and Draken?

Draken seems like someone who'd be hard to get close to because of his tough front, someone whom girls would keep a distance from. I'd also find it hard to talk to someone with a tattoo on his temple (laugh). Takemichi seems like someone who'd be seen like 'I guess I should give him some', so he'd receive a lot of giri-choco but not really honmei-choco.

―― I couldn't help but nod along with what you said. There is so much depth to the characters of Tokyo Revengers that it allows for such imaginative scenarios.

The characters' abundant qualities were so charmingly depicted it's interesting, really.

―― Out of the 2 sets of Tokyo Revengers anime LINE stamps that are currently being sold, do you have any favourites?

I have 2 faves! I used the Tokyo Revengers new year greeting stamp at the start of the year. As for the ones I usually use, Takemichi's 'Understood' stamp from the second set. I also used the 'Anyone scared?' stamp a lot (laugh).

―― Is there any stamp you frequently use other than the Tokyo Revengers ones?

From the LINE character stamps, I like the James stamps. I use stuff like the ones where he's surprised-crying a lot.

―― Which LINE feature do you often use, be it for work or personal use?

For personal use, the video calling feature. When I'm talking to friends one-on-one, there are many fun effects I can use. LINE is just so ubiquitous in my daily life, the other day when I lost my phone I was basically praying, 'Pleeease just my LINE details please don't disappeaaar!' (laugh).

―― The Valentine-limited talk room effect will be up, so keep a look out for it!

I often saw the Christmas one! I'll be using the Valentine effect too when it's out.

―― Lastly, any message to fans?

Last year, through Tokyo Revengers I was able to expand the range of my activities, and it gave me motivation to continue doing my best this year. The anime sequel has been confirmed, and until it's aired there's still a variety of Tokyo Revengers collaborations going on. There are the LINE stamps, you can also listen to Mikey's voice on LINE CLOVA… even on LINE I can feel the world view of Tokyo Revengers, so I'm really looking forward to the anime sequel. Thank you very much for always being supportive!

―― Thank you for the fun talk today!

Kotaro Mikeyverse HC:

- contrary to Ryo collecting old-timers, he collects guitars, brands, designer and just different types (acoustic, electronic, etc)

- preserved Donnie's old guitar and commissioned a new custom designer guitar for him

- before Sakura died he pursued fashion design but then his plans changed and he got into the music industry

- he studied all aspects of the music industry. From composing to cosmetics, song writing and marketing

- instead of 10 years it took 20 years until his Zombie project started fruiting

- inbetween he used to be a singer but he bever gave concert and ended his career after 6 years, then he disappeared from public view completely. Though he had made himself quite the name which lead curious people to check out Franchouchou later once it became public who produces them.

- he uses Mikey as a feature singer for his girls but mainly uses her as model for fashion as he sometimes still designs (he also designs and tailors or commissions FranChouChou's outfits depending on the time he has)

- he asked Arata if he wants to unofficially become his personal photographer but Arata declined

- he keeps breaking into Arata's house using a hairpin until Arata's daughter gave him an extra copy of the housekeys

- he's an alcoholic (canon) with bulimic tendencies

- he got dyscalculia and thus tends to miscalculate some expenses

- he has IBS (semi canon)✌️😔

- begore he met Mikey he had actually lost his will and just went with the flow of things until he realized his efforts finally paid off

- he still loves Sakura but is not interested in her as a potential love interest anymore. He will pamper her tho if he feels like it

-he only wears high fashion and loves fur (thrifted already used materials prefferred over faux)

- he and Ryo dont get along

- he finds Donnie amusing and cares about him despite their enemy shenanigans

- he worries a lot about his girls

- he prostitutes himself to gain extra money or land the girls special deals nobody but him, Mikey, Yugiri and Arata know and thus is why he never judged Mikey for being a sex worker

He also used to work in Jofuku's bar as a waiter during the times he was studying and not active as a musician

-he is currently 32yrs

- he is very nlatantly and openly bisexual to a point people mistake him as gay and suspect his relationship with Mikey as a decoy. The news of Mikey's pregnancy went through the press and Arata had to type his fingers wound to try and combat with articles to support themas he still is a journalist

- he and Mikey regularly attend fashionweeks and shows

- he claims to have been friends with several famous fashion designers but hes actually lying about that

Exactly! I won't say better either.. Nothing against the actors, they did their job wonderfully as their respective characters in the series.

But there are some characters I imagine differently, at least for me, in a lot of ways.

I have a feeling Nijiro Murakami will do wonderfully as Kazutora. And if I'm being completely honest, I'd only want him as Mikey because of how short he is. That's basically the only reason why. But I'm still very happy he's in the movies to begin with. So I can't complain too much.

Reo Sano is someone I could see as Chifuyu. But there might be one other person I could also imagine as Chifuyu too.. But he hasn't been introduced into the High&Low franchise yet, so I kind of don't want to say who he is yet. But something about the man's appearance makes me imagine him as a character in Tokyo Revengers. In my opinion.

And, I don't know why, but something about Dori Sakurada's appearance and personality as Suguru Niragi makes me think of Baji. So part of me wishes he was Baji.

Yay! You're watching the High&Low movies now. What did you think of season two of the show? Everyone deserves better in the series.

i feel like mikey is a hard face to pin down in a live action. i like ryo yoshizawa, i think he’s real fun to watch (i actually just started watching friends game with him and yuki), but i also feel mikey could have been cast differently. idk who i’d personally pick. i love nijiro, but idk if he could do those scenes where mikey is actually kind of scary. i do think he’ll do excellent as tora tho.

i think dori would have been an entertaining watch as baji! he’s slightly too tall, but i can overlook it since everyone’s heights are a lil fucked in the la. i need the whole long hair, punk-y look back on dori. also fang-y dori bc the actor wore fake teeth for baji? 👀👀👀 yes please. i don’t see a lot of similarities between niragi and baji’s personalities though, but that just might be me.

i really enjoyed season 2! kizzy and kaito are everything to me!! where are all the kizzy x kaito fanfics?!! love murayama, he’s my lil guy. the whole kohaku, tatsuya, tsukumo plot got me in my feels; also i love tsukumo, oh u can’t spell or do maths? girl same, love u. i didn’t really care for anyone in mighty warriors except for ryu, idk they just didn’t hit for me. ryu tho 👀 he said like 2 words, but he’s very pretty.

My cousin in Japan knows how much I ❤️ Oryo...got these in the mail today!! 😍🤩😍🤩

[chishiyashoodie]

When Nijiro falls in love with you, can you ask him to introduce me to Ryo (the man who plays Mikey in tr2)? He’s very cute too and the same age as me (I think). Thanks!

/hc anon

Yesss

Double date <333

[mitsuyeaah]

have you also seen shinichiro's actor? he looks so handsome ahhhh!

— 🐯

yes! and ahhh he definitely is!!! 😫🫶🏼 i love how he also somewhat looks like ryo yoshizawa (mikey’s actor) so it really feels like they’re actual siblings

[storge]

All the members of Toman also have families. They also have people they care about. We can’t let any outsiders get harmed. We can’t make their friends and families cry. We’ll deal with our own problems in our own world. You don’t even have to bow. Just care about others and have a heart. Kenchin, you’re so kind... Sorry, Kenchin. I’m glad you’re here with me.
