fencer_xOk, if you haven't read Nagayan's most recent entry on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
oh_tuti, I suggest you do now.
I won't say I've been expecting it, because when I saw how long it was and the noted lack of a picture he always uploads my heart skipped a beat. It was either something very good or very bad. I suppose in the end, it was a little of both.
I'm so, so glad he actually spoke about this. That he actually sat down with his cellphone or in front of a computer and typed out this post--maybe not for us, but for himself, and out of consideration for us too. We never get to see how the pressure of the acting world affects him, and that he's shown us so vividly now merits, I think, some response.
Which he's getting right now, mostly from his Japanese fans. Many of them are supportive, telling him the thanks lies entriely with them, but others...
Others seem a little confused. And in their confusion are quite...rude.
What are you saying?!
This isn't like you, Takashi-san!
Takashi-san should be like himself!!
Takashi-san is...brighter than anyone else, funnier, kinder...
And more than anyone else, a hard-working person.
While I can understand what the person was getting at (and there is more to the comment than that of course), the fact that they started off this way just really BURNS ME UP. Nagayan is being open and honest for the first time in forever, relating his lamentations to his fans because it's finally gotten to such proportions that he has to tell someone, and doesn't want us to worry.
Telling him, though, that his post has us worried and that this isn't like him, that he's supposed to be this shining icon of happiness and genkiness and kindness and hardworkingness is NOT THE WAY TO GO. We need to be there to SUPPORT him when he makes such a blatant call for it, no matter the language.
And that's why I'm posting this--because I want to help us bridge that barrier yet again. We've done it time and time again with Tuti and his blog, and now that Nagayan's giving us the perfect opportunity to let him know how much we appreciate him, that he's not empty, that we should be the one's thanking him, I say we should take it and run.
If you have a comment you'd like to leave Nagayama Takashi on his blog regarding this post, then please comment here with the words in English, and I will translate it for you to the very best of my abilities. Anyone can ask me to translate for you (though a warning, I'm about to go to work in an hourish, so it may be later before I can reply >_<) and I'll do my best. Let's show Nagayan how much he's got support both at home and overseas ♥
