i like the song but was hesitant to watch the music video. if this makes me cry, i'm gonna be so pissed lmao

this looks... bad. like very cgi. it's the nation's boyband's last song ever, and they were still sparing expense?? whenever you call's mv had more care put into it than this

for the first verse and chorus, why are they pointing at the singer like we havent all memorised their voices by now lmfaooo

i love the coloured star glasses tbh. when i saw their monotone outfits (.. except for jun. but. /ofc/ jun is standing out lol) i was mildly disappointed, but the coloured glasses are cute and enough for me

there is so much ninoai going on here 🔰🔰🔰

why is ohno, who hasnt entertained in years, better at being 'on' than nino, who still entertains for a living

┕> the budget was so low they couldnt even pay ninomiya to care

┕> wait but srsly nino does not look like he wants to be there. i think he's been like this in other mvs too but this time... feels distinctly unprofessional idk. it's funny but im also mad at him

back on ninoai. is nino wearing green in his sweater? i think his pants are green. and ofc aiba is wearing yellow. this is also enough for me 😌✊

┕> back on the styling again too b.c what's with this colour palette? yellow, earthy neutrals except for jun. ohno's burgundy polo. it's like... a weird spring-autumnal mix. who decided this lmao

┕┕> THE BUDGET WAS SO LOW THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE MORE THAN ONE OUTFIT IN THIS MV yet another point for whenever you call

okay mv over and they got one thing right. i did not cry lol but admittedly this was still bittersweet. that shot of them walking towards the camera arm over arm felt powerful

arashi isn't my main starto group, but i made the most friends from being in that fandom. i joined post-hiatus (2022) so i never got to see them fully active and in their prime, but i still was dealing and familiar with the sadness from the fandom. im happy to find that this time around, it's more like attending a celebration of life than a funeral. mostly, i'm happy the guys are all clearly still close b.c that relationship between them matters more to me than their output to us as fans. the music never ends, after all :)

hey hey, it's allen!! ^^ (20+ ❆ he/they ❆ ace ❆ ) i'm still a relatively newbie j-pop idol otaku for about three years now, but Snow Man is my ichiban group forever and my ultimate reason for being a wota, so this blog is mainly going to be about them~ ʕ✿ꈍ⁠ᴥ⁠ꈍ⁠ʔ i'm also doing my very best to learn japanese and trying to get more into the STARTO-sphere, even if don't have any fandom friends to share it with ;×; some other stuff about me is below as well. i know that the sunotan (and starto) community is virtually nonexistent on tumblr, but i hope to fill that void a little with gifsets, edits, dumb memes, fics, bad artworks, oshikatsu shenanigans, and other insane wota screaming at ungodly hours of the night hehe. with all that being said, welcome to my Snow World and enjoy!!!

A STARTO idol has been getting absolutely dragged by netizens for the past week because he made insensitive comments that put both past and present members of his group down. One of the worst comments was in a fanclub-exclusive video where he made fun of a new member that just joined, but someone posted it to Twitter and it blew up. Now netizens are going off on him saying he brings the group down and that it would be better without him in it, especially since the new member he put down is known to be hard working and more talented than him. What happened a couple of years ago with MM and netizens wasn't a fluke. Withthe recent anti-power harrassment movement in Japan, netizens have zero tolerance for senpai that make fun or put down kouhai to make themselves look better. Eripon set a great example going forward but I really, truly hope it continues.

Ahhhh I love it so much, so cute 😭😭😭😭😭

This guy is a Japanese idol named "Takahisa Masuda" and he looks a bit like I.N. He face is also very good at singing. But people say he looks more like a pig than a fox. Lol🤣

Well, that's what makes he cute! lol😂😂😂

More to come!
