[About the title 「It」「一途」]
About the title 「It」「一途」
The title 'It'「一途」can be read in 2 ways:
itto = path, way, course
ichizu = whole-hearted, earnest
The author likes to play with this double meaning, hence the slightly contrived-sounding opening lines at the start of every 'It' article where both 'itto' and 'ichizu' are deliberately used.
[Writer Yoshi Rei’s blog entries about Nino/Arashi]
Writer Yoshi Rei's blog entries about Nino/Arashi
Yoshi Rei occasionally wrote about her thoughts or behind-the-scenes anecdotes about Nino/Arashi on her official MORE blog. I've translated them here.
[**NOTE 1]
**NOTE 1: Change of writer from July 2018 onwards
All previous chapters were by Yoshi Rei, all following chapters were by Matsuyama Kozue.
There were rumours that writer Yoshi Rei stopped writing for 'It' after the June 2018 issue because fans were angry that she'd leaked 'Black Pean' spoilers on Twitter. (She congratulated Nino for being cast in Black Pean in a Feb 2018 tweet, before it was officially announced.)
[Japanese article, can't vouch for how reliable it is]
Her twitter account was deleted after the incident, and she had barely any public social media presence (including her own official blog, instagram + her MORE blog etc) in 2018. Her old MORE blog entries still exist and her last update in 2018 was about her wedding so she's not been booed out of public existence, at least.
Matsuyama Kozue was a freelance writer who wrote movie-related stuff in women's magazines, but seems to have joined MORE's editorial department when she started writing for Nino's 'It'. (As far as I could tell, she apparently had no public social media presence, which seems weird for a freelance writer.)
