givemeyourhonorA lot happened this week and there's more to come.
I loved getting to see Utage show Tamon what her fun idol loving activities are. Seeing her little standees and taking pictures with them. Going to the movie. That must have been torture for Tamon. Bold move on Utage's part to take him to a documentary about his recent failure even though her intentions were pure. Granted, they still aren't on the same page since it seems like Tamon's conclusion was just how much he likes Utage personally.
That said, I do like seeing him change in a more positive way with his work. Not completely falling apart when presented with something new from the manager is great!
Keito though... I love him? Like viewing your fans that way isn't nice, but I can't blame him with what he seems to have dealt with. Especially since it sounds like a group of his fans are uniquely unhinged and that might not be something Ouri or Tamon have experienced to the extent he has. And I'll always respect the urge to make money.
Also it sounds like the implication is that he wanted Tamon or Ouri to win at being the center and sees them as the most important parts of their group which makes sense with their fanbases and what I suspect is geniune care on his part. he's freaked about Utage ruining the vibe and causing a scandal/distracting the boys from their work for sure. But I think it's also obvious that he also wants to protect them from someone he thinks is dangerous. Doubly when you consider what both Tamon and Ouri's lives are like. Tamon is emotionally delicate and Ouri's famous family means that any scandals have the potential to be even more painful.
Was surprised at Utage being involved in the training camp though. Things are moving fast! I'm sure that next episode we'll get to see more of the rest of F/ACE and see her prove herself to Keito.
