fencer_x誕生日おめでとうございます, ME!
*kills all your flists*
I'm the big 21 this year, ALCOHOL IS A GO NOW. Next time you all want to drink smirnoffs or whatever, TELL ME. I'LL SO GO BUY SOME. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY TASTE LIKE.
In other news, something of a nice birthday present from a girl who has no idea how happy she's made me. Eri is a Japanese girl whose blog I'vestalkedhung around for a while due to her deep involvement in the TeniMyu and *pnish* fandoms. I occasionally post a comment when I can (i.e. when I feel like I've got something intelligent to comment on, which is rare :P), and I've gotten to the point where I comment often enough that I'm not as nervous anymore XD Still, it's fun bridging the gap between fandoms this way (even if she does have some weird pairing preferences MomoEiji whut)
With that said, she posted yesterday a lovely Graduation post, and I've been wanting to vent to the Japanese side for a while, so I thought, "Hell, may as well take advantage here," hoping Eri wouldn't be completely confused by what I said, nor completely offended, cause I'm just some crazy gaijin moving in on her Graduation sapfest ♥ The following is my reply to her post, and her subsequent reply to that, translated from her original Japanese:
Me
*weeps* All the fans over here are reeeeaaaaaally depressed, it's too soon for them to graduate! Just when we'd finally gotten over the Old Cast's graduation...
But, I'm glad that Aiba-kun is staying; someone has to pass on the TeniMyu spirit to the new cast (wait, newnew cast?) after all.
Over here, everyone loves the Old Cast, and the new cast doesn't have nearly as many fans, but for some reason everyone's so sad! Though the ichinen trio is very popular.
It's so strange, you know?...Even though we're so far apart, during times like these we feel really close, America and Japan. Both sides are frustrated, and sad, and everyone's probably thinking the same thing: "It's too soon..."
But you know, something good might come from this too. If the new cast was above the old cast, then the new new cast might be even above that...that's what I'm hoping for. It seems we've no choice but to wait and hope.
Anyways, there's still CinePuri! When I watch the trailer, it feels like New Cast will be around forever in that~. Even if they graduate, I can watch them any time, and remembering that sets me at ease.
I'm glad I got to see the New Cast's TeniMyu, I really am. I'm sad I didn't get to see them live, but I'm glad to at least have been able to see them on DVD.
I'll continue my support of TeniMyu from now on, while yelling, "Go for it~!" from a far-away country!
Waa, I made it pretty long. Sorry about that m(__)m I'll leave it at this~
Eri
Wawawa!
All in Japanese, and on top of that, such a long comment, thank you!!
Yes, that's right! ;;
It's like I can't tell what's what...
I was in a pretty deep shock too with the original cast, and on top of that I didn't have a chance to go see them...
This time I'm lucky this time in that I'll be able to go and see the show, but even so I'll still be spacing out from shock.
Seeing that New Cast's graduation isn't restricted just to Japanese fans, but is felt by overseas fans as well, I feel that they truly are loved.
Just by that you can sense the weight of graduation ;;
Although I always knew they'd graduate someday...haa...
I'm still all wound up *weeps*
Though it's not because of the circumstances, I'm thinking about writing a letter for the first time this performance.
Even though I really suck at writing ;;
But but, you're right, there's still CinePuri isn't there!♪
And Old Cast will be in it!☆
When I think about that, I get in high spirits again and can enjoy this last live!
So with that in mind, I'll give my same old worn out thoughts just like always~
Actually, I've been kind of thinking I might study some English.
When I heard that there are so many TeniMyu and *pnish* fans overseas, I started thinking it would be nice to be able to talk to them.
Though I get confused, and have a bad head, so I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to do that...
But please keep watch over me! *wry smile*
Well, I'll leave it at that! vv

Wahh sugeee~! Some Japanese fans are really cute!! <3 ^o^
My Japanese e-mail friend Hitomi said this (don't mind her English ^^;; ):
And, I was not surprised too much because Cast had heard graduation from my friend who heard it. Anger has had a lump in one's throat previously somehow this time though it cried last time.
I think I feel about the same. It makes me angry and I have this thightening feeling in my throat...but I am not crying like last time. ^^;; Even tho I grew to love some of the 2nd gen cast as much as the 1st one. ;O;

It makes me super happy too and proud that we have someone like you who can actually talk to someone like that and convey our feelings where we can't, you know? ;__; And her learning English to talk to us? That's just amazing. ^________^

Date: 2006-03-22 05:56 pm (UTC)Until I finish your prezzie, have some sap:
Your dedication to the fandom and your willingness to bridge the language and cultural gaps between America and Japan are absolutely inspiring. You do now what I want to do for the rest of my life, and I admire and respect you so much for that. You also have this amazing love for people you've never met that really astounds me. To top it off, you're gorgeous, friendly, funny, and giving of your time and efforts without complaint. I am so overwhelmingly glad that I had the opportunity to meet you, and I hope we see each other again.
Oh, and katsu no wa motherfucking Hyoutei, baby. *big hugs*
Happy 21st!
