Oooh! it’s nice to see an utapri blog still open! do you do most to leasts? if so, can you do a most to least on starish going out with or having a relationship with a foreigner? like which of the boys would be more open to it while which ones are kinda more to Japanese? (I already know my bae masato will be least but I still love him so much sobs)
Yes! I do most to least! They're quite fun!
This is an interesting one but in all honesty, I can see all of STARISH being able to date a foreigner (yes, even Masato). I'd say this one is more who'd be more or less inclined to date a foreigner.
☆ (Most to Least!) - STARISH boys going out with a foreigner.☆
☆ Ren Jinguji: Being the group's resident womaniser and ladies' man, Ren finds all women beautiful. He definitely sees non-Japanese women as particularly gorgeous, and won't pass up the chance to flirt with one. While he is more than willing to date or go out with any kind of foreigner, he has a particular weakness and soft spot for Italians and the Italian language.
☆ Natsuki Shinomiya: In this sweet boy's opinion, he doesn't care for ethnicity, skin colour, or whether you're a foreigner or not - just as long as you love animals and are a kind person, he'll definitely give you a chance! Natsuki also spent some of his childhood in France, so he knows some English and French. He'll certainly try his best to communicate with you, but ultimately, he feels that if you're both on the same wavelength, it really shouldn't matter.
☆ Cecil Aijima: As he himself is a foreigner, Cecil would definitely be happy and more than likely to go out with someone who is also a fellow foreigner. His Japanese isn't native level, so he definitely can sympathise with how the language can be hard, and would be excited to learn the language with you! That being said, he's also somewhat relieved to be able to communicate in English or Agnapalese for a change.
☆ Otoya Ittoki: Otoya is from Tokyo, which is one of the most progressive prefectures in Japan. Naturally, he'd be very curious about foreigners and, more than once, has been very eager to interact with them. Going out with one definitely isn't out of the question, though two things kind of make him uncertain: the language barrier as he's not that great with English (besides standard greetings and phrases like "Merry Christmas!") and how assertive some non-Japanese women can be. Though he's quite willing to learn some English and, in return, he's happy to teach you some Japanese. Just as long as you're both willing to communicate and persist, it'll work! The assertiveness is also something he can shrug off and even find appealing as he's fine with you leading the relationship. Just remember to be gentle with him at times, too, please.
Tokiya Ichinose: Tokiya is from Fukuoka, which is a prefecture that is more on the conservative side. While Tokiya isn't opposed to dating or having a relationship with a foreigner, he does lean more towards a Japanese partner simply because there aren't as many potential obstacles. Things such as the language barrier (though Tokiya would be better at English than Otoya), and differing views are such factors, but the biggest one is long distance. Tokiya is a romantic at heart and he hopes to get married someday in the future which may be hard if his partner lives far away or isn't into a serious relationship like he hopes to be in. Persist, support, and reassure him, and he's more liable to change his mind.
Syo Kurusu: Poor Syo would choose to lean towards a Japanese partner not because of the partner in question, but his own Napoleon complex. Syo is only 163 cm tall, and most foreign women tower over him, which definitely gets him pretty insecure as he feels that most women aren't into shorter men. Most Japanese women are shorter than him, so that's why he leans closer to home. But if a non-Japanese woman does't mind the height differences, he'd consider it. Though he also doesn't like the idea of being coddled and protected due to his short height - he'd rather be the one protecting you, and you can be damn sure he'll protect and defend you, tooth and nail.
Masato Hijirikawa: Out of STARISH, Masato definitely is the one the least inclined to go out with a foreigner. Again, not because he doesn't find them attractive (he's definitely been quite curious and interested with a few he's seen), but it's more due to his upbringing. He was born and raised in a conservative and traditional home, so he expects his wife to uphold certain traditions as well. Traditional values in Japan are quite conservative, and he's not really someone who breaks from tradition either, so it could very well wind up getting rather cold if he or the other party aren't willing to compromise. Patience, mutual respect, and a willingness to listen may make him reconsider and actually take a risk.
