「And then there stole into my fancy, like a rich musical note, the thought of what sweet rest there must be in the grave.」- Edgar Allan Poe, The Pit and the Pendulum
Guys hate getting friendzoned by girls, right? Well now I think I know why. Of course I don't mind being just a friend to a guy. I prefer it that way. But when he starts coming to me for relationship advice left and right, I want to rip my hair out. There are TWO guys doing this. Ugh just leave me the fuck alone.

Yeah, I haven't blogged in ages! Not much is really going on. Yaki and I have been hanging out with Jasmine, my cousin from Sweden. And we're likely going to New York at the end of the month! I can't wait!! I'm really excited for Yaki to finally get to see the city that I hold so dear. I hope our trip goes perfectly!
On another note, I'm working on my Pokédex. Does anyone have a Meloetta? Just kidding - I doubt anyone would want to let theirs go. But I really want one, she's so beautiful~ I hope to finish my Pokédex by the end of next month.
Gonna head out for now because I'm going to bed soon. Goodnight all~!

I wanted to post a blog dedicated to him. It's probably going to be a long blog because I don't want to leave out anything that means something to me. And there are many things that mean something to me.
Some of you might not know who Takeru-san is. He's the singer of the band SuG, mainly. He's also a clothing designer who produces million$orchestra, and he's a bit of an actor too and has been in a few movies. So as you've probably guessed, yes, he's pretty famous and has tons and tons of loyal fans.
I remember when I first saw him and his band. It was their Love Scream Party music video, not long before the PV that soon followed was released. So I've been a fan of the whole band's work for quite a while. That music video was so bright, fun, and as my friend Stacy would say "pika-pika", I fell right in love with it. That video alone made me realize I needed more color in my life, so I started with my room. Originally, I wanted it party-themed with bright decorations on the walls, but settled with bright colored paint. My walls are pink, my trim is purple, my doors lime green, and my floor icy blue. It sounds outrageous, and it truly is, but I love it. It makes my time in here a little more bright and colorful as well.
I found out sometime later, while watching making-ofs and backstage footage, just how silly Takeru-san is. No matter what mood I'm in, seeing him smile makes me smile too. It's contagious! It always makes me feel better if I'm down. I can't say that for many people. I think Yaki's the only person who makes me more happy. \(//∇//)\
Over the years of being a SuG fan, I've watched Takeru-san's voice grow. It's so amazing it can bring tears to your eyes. And his lyrics are breathtakingly beautiful. When he wants them to be, of course. Sometimes they can be あはーん but you know. Mostly I enjoy their fun, uplifting songs charged with positive energy. They always remind me that there are good things in life, not to cry (vi-vi-viって!), and that there's a reason to smile about tomorrow, no matter how bad it is today. Now while this blog is about Takeru-san, I don't want to ignore the talent of and my love for every member of SuG. Masato, Yuji, Chiyu, and Shinpei are just as important in the musical formula that makes up SuG. Mitsuru was just as important when he was a member. I love them all for the joy they've brought into my life.
I only regret how long it took me to become as big of a fan as I am today. Takeru-san has jumped to the top of my favorites list, and to be honest, I hope he's there to stay. That contagious dimpled smile of his has put a smile on my own face more times than I can count, and anyone that knows me knows that I need to smile more.
I make sure I buy all of their major releases to show my support for them, and to show them that they have a strong fanbase in the United States. Maybe one day, I can meet them and tell them all this in person. To tell them that they changed my life, and that Takeru-san saved my life. Many of you know that I struggle with depression, and sometimes, this world doesn't feel worth it anymore. Sometimes I feel that hopeless. SuG has a song called 美空, or Misora. It means "beautiful sky". The last few lines of the song...
一秒一秒、繋いでく息力なんだ 限りのある時を
儚くも美しき空の下 ‘生きていたい’
Second by second, life is letting go, so for as long as possible
Under a fleeting and beautiful sky, “I want to live”
I recall these words, because they're true. I want to live as well. Hearing him sing those words touches my heart and brings tears to my eyes. It's helped keep my spirits up through times I didn't think I'd make it out of. I am a stronger person now, because of this song. And I'm alive, and I want to live. I remember watching their TRiP tour DVD, when Takeru-san started to cry while he was singing this song, and the emotion in his voice... I can't begin to put what I felt into words, but I'll try. It was a mix of sadness over his tears, happiness over seeing the song performed so flawlessly, and other emotions such as empowerment, a sense of strength, empathy, excitement, adoration, and awe at the beauty of the performance. The whole band was in top form. It was... perfect. Everything I could have hoped for in a live and more.
A lot of people call me obsessed, and I guess they're right. But I feel that I have every right to be. I want to be a lot like he is someday. I want to be a great singer, not be afraid to be myself, and bring that same level of happiness and fun to my fans. I want to be to someone what Takeru-san has been to me. A bright, hopeful, energetic, optimistic figure that inspires people to be who they are and make the best of their lives. I'm going to continue to walk down the path that will lead me to that place, and Takeru-san will always be my favorite senpai, and my greatest inspiration.
