The Café – I imagined it as a lifeless place first, just the shadow of Nino in it and in the end it bloomed with the presence of the other members and what they brought along for him, it’s like they brought life into the Café as well as they brought it back to Nino’s life. This was such a touching scene (my favorite, climaxing with Sho's arrival OMG) and the small Café in my imagination has turned into something so beautiful and cute, my heart cringed and my whole body was shaking at this scene.
You know, I really love Cafés, in my home country Cafés are really important and I always loved them. They offer lots of different drinks and lots of different delicious sweets and such. I moved away a few years ago and here where I’m living now there are Cafés too but their place in society is different from what I knew and I still feel like I’m missing something (most likely a good choice of cakes XD. Fun fact btw, I don’t like the taste of coffee though so I barely drink it but I’m in love with the smell). I bear the hidden dream of owning a Café once in my life, even if I know that due to different circumstances this will always stay a dream but maybe it’s good like this and it’s better if I continue to imagine all those Cafés in my head, the ones I read of, the ones I write of, the ones I dream of. I really want to thank you for adding a really really wonderful and precious Café to my imaginary inventory so to say… and I’m sorry if I’m sounding completely off-topic and weird right now, I feel like I’m just still too emotional from reading.
Arashi’s music is what made me fall in love with them in first place, I really love it (especially their later work) and I’m an idol fan who – even if I treasure their other talents like for acting, variety and stuff too of course – always puts the music as my top priority for deciding on which groups I like and want to support and which not. Arashi is one of those groups that I NEVER grow sick of listening too, I love their voices, I love most of their songs in various styles and I love so much how especially Nino and Sho bring themselves into their music too from time to time. With this you earn a huge extra bunch of hugs for mentioning this in the story and for putting the image of a PERFECT album by them into my head.
When I read this album critique, I was bursting in tears, because it was so so good and it’s so so beautiful. It told the past and the future of Arashi, not only music wise. It told that Nino came back to them and this really saved me and healed my broken heart over broken Arashi in this story. Thank you so much for my Happy Ending. I really needed it. You ripped my heart apart with this story and you patched it together again just perfectly with the ending. I'm so moved, really and I love getting moved so much by reading a story. ♥
The cover artwork you included is so beautiful, I love it and it’s like I can snatch it out from there and turn it over and in my imagination, I see photos of the vacant Café of Nino’s in the inside, peaceful and I see traces of the members lying in the very same Café… Yeah, something pretty much exactly like that... I am dying to hear the songs Nino wrote for the album and I just KNOW that they must be brilliant. Because that’s what the power of Arashi triggered in him and what the power of Arashi together brought to life again, right? Including “Kono te no hira ni” is a brilliant idea because the lyrics of this song are just so beautiful and I love it so much. Thanks for this and thanks for putting so much effort into designing the opening quote and the music critique so lovely, it’s gorgeous!
What is really interesting btw is that I myself am writing a story a bit similar to this one for years already XD It’s fascinating how my wishes in the sign-ups could bring someone to write something similar to my own imagination and that feels really awesome! Do I know you, anon, or at least do you know me? I feel so exposed and caught haha XD You really hit some nails here, I’m stunned! *_*
Gosh, I could keep on and on writing because I surely forgot to point out thousands of other things I love in this story, but I think, I have to stop now.
