Oh, wow. wow. I'm not expecting myself really hooked and non stop read this fanfic from chapter 1 till last. It's really great!

Honestly, at first myself doesn't really have interest in Arashi's romance pairing, but if the story good, now i think, yeah, i don't mind any genre. But this is smooth ne?~ the romance scene is not too much but the emotion and flows really well, make my heart beat faster in some scene (ehem, include the kiss scene *hiding) . And other part too ;_; uwah, every chapter have a story with so much emotion. And I think it's more like human drama too. It's tell you story about dance, pursuit dream (& mantain it), up & down of your life. In some scene I often think : 'Ahh, there's people like her/him' or 'That's why she doing this. It's unforgivable. But... she's just weak person. I kinda understand it's hurt to bear it herself. I feel pity for her too' << you know who i am talking about isn't

oh not at all! i love long comments! (i think all writers do) XD

Ung, sorry for admit this (hiding) but at first, I'm not sure will read this fanfic or not because there's romance genre (since romance pairing i red before made me don't want to continue) but since i can't resist to see Ohno as professional dancer, i'd decided to give it a try and I'm so not regret it! I'm really enjoying your story ^^ (ironically, in the end, I'm in love with the romance part too XD)

About the title, actually i don't know at all about dancing terms (the dancing show/programme i watched only Dancing With The Star XD), so at first I don't have idea what ball change or sugar push means. Then you mentioned in chapter 3 with explanation about spotting, i googled and realize it was some dancing move. I'm so impressed. Now i re-read it and yes, found all related. I watched all the video you've mentioned too. Thank you so much for the explanation. It makes me learn new stuff (^^)/

Surely will wait for last chapter!!
(I'm already prepared for the worst tho' u_u)
Ganbatte!!

hahah! that's fine! there are times when i'm not in the mood for romance either. i think what makes an effective romance story is that there is that natural build up between the two characters before they fall for each other. Romance has to be more than just "oh, i love you! let's be together!" there has to be struggles as well. mistrust and frustration. they have to overcome many tests. and when they do, they grow closer. if they just automatically starting liking each other from the beginning, it loses that excitement and thrill for them to work things out, no? (then again i do like to read some PWP from time to time) haha! but i'm glad you're giving my fic an exception ^_^

i wasn't expecting anyone to pick up on the chapter titles. i just thought it was interesting XD
but i also didn't want to be inaccurate since dancing is a main part of the story. so far, everyone seems to be happy with it, and i'm glad :D

i'll be updating soon!

they are gonna win!!!! they must win. damn you, mitsu bitch!!!

[arashiforyou]

i can't guarantee! XD
thanks for reading!

[gambitsfox]

Ugh! The next one is the final one?! But I want more! This is so good! : )

[arashiforyou]

yup, next update is the final chapter. which will be soon! O__O
i tend to cap around 10-12 chapters when i write a series (kinda like a drama) XD
thanks for reading!

I´m already in hiding since the chapter before cause I don`t want it to end and already don`t know what to say anymore..I kept the post open for days but I still can`t get the words right..too many feels >////< sorry for not commenting and the lack of sense in this..I just wanted to let you know that I`m still very much hooked to this fic....ah it`s the end already...TT____TT

[arashiforyou]

you were very passionate about that last last chapter too XD
haha! you don't have to comment me every time. (though i do like reading others' feedbacks and how their feels are destroying them ^_^)
i guess it just feels like it's ending so soon because i update it regularly and 10 chapters is relatively short. (maybe next time, i should really try to push for a longer storyline haha!)
i'll be posting the final chapter this weekend! O__O
thanks for reading!

[carey_chan]

I definitly were. Had to talk about it with kami_desu and recommented the fic to another friend of mine ^^
and 10 chapters is kinda short *pout* well for my liking at least, cause I tend to get attached to the characters. especially if they are so well-described as in this fic. What`ll I read when it`s over ;_; I´ll save it into my LJ memorys and will re-read it sometime in the near future. I have high expectations for the last chapter and am nervous how you`ll end it. Hope it`s well rounded and not..how to say.. a sudden cut? a sudden owari. That would definitly feel like a slap *haha* But I don`t think you`ll end it like this ^,~ and remember..you can always start another series in this universe or a OS etc.
Ah~ it`s the end~

[arashiforyou]

originally, i thought 10 chapters was decently long. but now that we're at the final stretch, i'm like "now what am i going to write?" XD
oh, and i hate when fics do that too! when it's unfinished though, i don't make a whole fuss about it. but when fics have some open-ended "not yet resolved" kinda endings, it frustrates me too! haha! i hope you won't think that with this fic. but i'll leave for you to decided on that.
i don't know if there will be another series or one shot addition to this story. (you're hoping too much) XDD
but we'll see. either i'll come back with a new story, or who knows. maybe there will be a one shot part later on.

[arashiforyou]

i'm glad you're enjoying it (while calling ohno a moron, but i understand) XD
i read your previous comments :3
and i hope the ending won't be as painful
thanks for reading!
