where do i even begin? i stayed up until 3 in the morning to read this last night and i didn't finish it and then after i finished it today, i reread it. i was trying to keep a mental list of all the things i loved about it but there was just so much. this world that you've built, sho and jun's relationship, how nino fits so seamlessly into it without there being any sort of a fuss. the fact that nino applied to a job as a joke and then became so invested in it, in the people that he's surrounded by, is just so perfectly NINO. i love all of the little nods to shiyagare and the goofiness that occurs on it, like sho's bucket hat and jun shopping by feeling. your characterizations are so, so spot-on for everyone, from all of the members of arashi to the members of kanjani and tokio and the fact that you included everyone that i mentioned in my sign-up in some way makes my heart sing. from the very very bottom of my heart to the very tippy top, i loved every single word of this, and i'm so grateful that you put in so much for it. it's so beautiful and amazing and i could read it every day and still mentally live in this world and wonder what they're all doing and where they're going from here. thank you so, so very much, there are not enough words to say how grateful i am.
