Helloooooooooo anon ♥ Thank you for the links to the soundtracks; they set the mood perfectly (plus, good music recs **b) ♥

His star is shining bright while Yuichi's is fading and it's hard for him to remember that two years ago they were still sharing the cheap cup ramens together.
ugh. but it says so much that they still stick together and keep in touch; Kame doesn't let fame distract him to the point of forgetting and Nakamaru doesn't let his insecurities get in the way ♥

On Yuichi's 30th birthday, Kazuya was admitted to the hospital for accidental drug overdose.
I was all smiley and then my heart dropped. nakamaru :(((

Love is an umbrella above him when it rains on his face
this entire section with the metaphors and the contrasts between love and infatuation was beautiful ♥

Kazuya has made a lot of mistakes in the past, one of them was Tanaka Koki.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh (ilu)

My goodness, you have such fantastic stylistics!

I really felt deeply for Nakamaru in this and I liked the universe you chose for this premise because it just works, you know? Especially the dynamic between Yucchi and Kame. It gives me a very nice sense of what the director of BANDAGE probably wanted to execute but couldn't manage (what i'm saying basically is this is faaaar better). I felt Kame in this was so different, but it also worked just as well because that element of his addictive personality with nothing to ground him could take this route.

Stonehenge's blend of Nirvana and Bump of Chicken hardly interests him.

I could so see this.

Yuichi knew that Kazuya was definitely blessed by the powers above, because it rains in the sky whenever it rains in his heart, the only things he needs are an umbrella and a bit of love. Augh yeah, Yucchi's infatuation broke my heart. It was gorgeous and sad and tragic; there is nothing more poignant than trying to maintain a relationship of any kind with addiction in the play and the

He closes the gap between them. Whatever Kazuya needs, Kazuya gets and it has been like that since forever ago.
Oh Yuichi. There's so much to say about the way he cares and indulges and about how that too is part of the problem he keeps on trying to solve.

I'm so glad for the hope at the end of the tunnel. Also I really, really, really loved the definition of love and infatuation and how you played with it and how it changed from the beginning to the end. ♥
