Ryo & Ueda Letters

Ueda:

Dear Nishikido,
The first time I spoke to you was when you had come to an event we were both involved in.
I wondered why you had friends with such hobbies.
But after seeing you many times, I noticed how hard you try in your work.
I thought that you were a very serious person who does what he has to well.
During Domoto Koichi-kun's "SHOCK"musical, I further noticed your passion for your work.
I didn't say it, but that was when I first thought you were cool at singing.
I respected you.
*they exchange looks and try not to smile*
I figured that must be why people flock around you.
I thought it must have been hard both physically and time-wise for you to do "SHOCK" soon after finishing Kanjani8's and NEWS's concerts.
Although I cannot often say this honestly, since we became better friends, I'm happy.
*they look at each other, Ryochan is embarrassed and Ueda smiles before looking away shyly*

Ryo:

Okay, Ah, Thanks. I'll read mine now.

Greetings, Lord Ueda Tatsuya.
When I think about it, the first time I met you was years ago, when we were back dancers for our senior's concert.
At that time I thought you were a depressing person with negative thoughts.
*Adorable Ueda smile~*
That was my first impression of you.
We hung out together back then, right? That's what I recall.
As time passed, we had no chances to see each other much and before I knew it, you were working hard as KAT-TUN's 'U'.
*Ueda smiles yet again~*
But at that time you had blonde hair and white skin.
I looked at your unimaginably strange transformation,
*Ueda's adorable smile KILLS*
and this is what I thought.
"This kid, what the hell is he trying to be?"
Sorry.
The place I put these thoughts into words was in here in Osaka.
From then on, 'The Shounen Club' somehow became a battlefield for Nishikido vs Ueda.
I tried too hard and said some mean things without thinking and hurt your feelings.
*looks at Ueda and nods meaningfully*
I'm sorry.
Recently, in Osaka, we were together in the 'Dream Boys' musical, right?
The free time we had between shows was fun.
From now on too, lets continue being good enemies.
I'm sorry for various stuff.
Thanks, from Nishikido Ryo.

Yamapi & Jin Letters

Jin:

Dear Yamashita Tomohisa,
Everyone says that Yamashita is mature, but when we're playing, he is totally different.
He is more energetic than anyone to the point of being annoyingly loud.
But you know, I am the person who knows what really goes on in his heart.
He is lonelier than anyone, but he refuses to admit it to anyone.
*Yamapi smiles gently at that*
That's why he is naturally so reclusive.
He acts that way because he starts thinking about the loneliness of saying 'bye bye' to that person as soon as he meets someone.
But, once, we had this huge fight and we said we would no longer be friends.
That time, walking home, I was seriously upset,
but then when I went home, I found you sitting there chatting and having dinner with my mom!
*Yamapi smiles and starts shaking his head from side to side adorably*
Whats more, you were even sitting on my chair!
Whats more, you didn't even say a single word to me!
Whats more, you went into my room before me and slept there!
What was that?
I think that things remaining that way for around three months was definitely strange.
*Both Pi and Jin smile adorably, and Jin starts again with an awkward-embarrassed laugh*
But even with your stubbornness and your loneliness... I still love you.
Umm.. Let's continue being friends.

Yamapi:

*has difficulty starting*
Umm, Dear Jin
Time flies.
It seems that this is the 6th Christmas we'll be spending together.
To be honest, my first impression of Jin was very bad.
*Jin smiles shyly*
I thought, "That guy is trying too hard to act cool."
But we soon became friends.
We are both very stubborn so we often fight.
We are petty and won't listen to reason.
That vice prevents either of us from being able to say "sorry".
But, when I stopped talking to you, I felt very lonely.
There were many times I thought, "I should apologize,"
but in the end I never said anything.
So, I've decided on what I want from Santa this year;
I want Akanishi Jin to have the courage to say "Sorry" to me-
*Jin looks kinda confused and says 'Oi'*
and, I want the courage to say that too.
From Yamashita Tomohisa
