So, it was mentioned a while back, that Nagayan wants to be called "senpai" at some point, apparently. I suppose this was at an FC event somewhere along the line, because it's Japanese fangirls who are remembering this.

Last year, at the overnight trip for the FC, the theme was that they were all employees in Nagayan's "company," and he was their shachou ("boss"), so they all called him that lovingly ♥

So--Nagayan organizes FC events around some theme, and usually asks the members taking part to play along with him that way, such as the "shachou" thing.

This August's day-trip has the theme of an All Girls' Academy, NagaJo--and I'd at first thought Nagayan was going to play our professor, or maybe the dean of the school or something.

But nope, I have a better idea of what's gonna happen >_>

TAKAKO-SENPAAAIII~!!

Also, it's obvious that Tuti and Nagayan are playing favorites with their children. They've both been seen wearing Decossam, but only Tuti's been carting the second child around, and now so far after a MONTH of it being released, the third child's only been seen with Nagayan.

That made me think, though--could we have possibly had it wrong? And by we I mean me?

I always saw it this way: They did the first collaboration, yay awesome excellent shirts are cool move on. One or the other wanted to do it again, or make something a little more USEFUL perhaps than a shirt, and thus came the idea for the bag--this is where I started conjecturing.

The second child is, let's face it, a purse. Not a bag, a purse. For girls. And so I thought, well Tuti's a manly man, perhaps he was happy to do a collab again with Nagayan, but it wasn't exactly something he'd carry around too often (especially since he loves that Puma bag of his), and thus they decided to make a third child, which is a much more convenient messenger bag and much more Tuti's "style." As I saw it--Nagayan was behind the 2nd, and Tuti's design behind the 3rd.

But looking at who's not afraid to be seen with what--it strikes me as so ODD that Tuti routinely carries around that second child (out to dinner with friends, on location for filming), but hasn't been seen with the third one, and vice versa for Nagayan!

Could it really be the other way around? That Tuti actually liked the second child, was perhaps even the brains behind designing it, and Nagayan--being kind of unsatisfied with it--decided to do one last collaboration that HE liked better?

Also--could Nagayan possibly be any more obvious? Yeah, that's real subtle. Put your FLAT, EMPTY BAG on that table for no reason other than to show it off, and be just as subtle in having it take up, like, half the picture. Ilugaiz so much ♥
