Kazuki and Tenimyu

[gekidasa]

So apparently in today's blog entry, among other things, Kazuki says that he was iffy about it when they asked him to come back, because he felt that the baton had been passed, so to speak, but then decided to do it because he remembered it was a lot of fun (personally I think there must have been additional factors at play, but that's speculation and has no place here).

Anyway, it's interesting, because that's pretty much the exact reason I feel so ambivalent about it. I keep thinking I SHOULD be happy, and I TRY to be, but I honestly do think that on the one hand he HAS moved past it and shouldn't go back, and on the other, the role SHOULD be fully passed on to the new Atobes.

I mean... I don't really blame him for doing it, whatever factors it was that were involved, but I do feel a lot better about not being ecstatic about it after learning he has/had reservations too.

And I also give him a lot of props for even admitting he had reservations, given how ridiculously touchy and wanky certain fan circles in Japan are. To be blunt: I hope it doesn't backfire on him, but I think it's awesome that he said it.

...What else did he say? I just got athena8 to translate the Tenimyu bit, cause I didn't want to be a bother.

It's pretty awesome of him, isn't it? I expected him to just say he was honored to be asked back and leave it at that.

I knew it. Hell, WE knew it.

I'm glad that he's being really honest about it. Really awesome, Kazuki!

Yeah, I'm really proud of him for saying it. ♥
