man...

yeah, no one can please everybody all at once...

...

sure, it's unfaithful to the characters you've perceived them to be...

but when you step out of your fandom... aren't they people who put on these "characters" to entertain you?

we don't know who they really are... we can assume and infer from how they act... i don't think they lie... but they don't show us everything either...

it's what they do as idols...

she's not your musume leader anymore...

let her explore those things that she might have stayed away from as an idol...

just because you're not used to seeing them like this doesn't mean that they don't have it in them...

yossui and rika signed into this... they could quit if they didn't want this project... they could quit showbiz if they didn't like what they were doing... I want to believe that this is part of their passion... it's awesome that they can make a living from doing the things they love...

i don't want them trapped in a single image that will just fade away when we've all moved on to "better things"...

let them go... and grow... they're people too... they're dynamic and they can get tired of the same-old same-old...

sure we can always compare the 'now' to the 'then'... it won't really matter

it's not like it will change anything in their lives... i'm not as significant as i want to believe... and i don't think you are either...

if you don't like the character she's portraying now, pretend it's not her... the way we pretend that we know them and we love them for who we "know" they are...

man...

~~

calmed down now... i don't even think the people i react to even come here... oh well... better rant about it here than there...
