For several weeks, I drove by this painting. I would notice it especially when after it rained. The painter had used a glitter paint so that when the sun shone on it, you could see it glisten. Then, one day, I had to stop and snap a quick photo. I couldn’t go by it again without capturing it.
An old time hymn came to mind as I kept passing that rock by…
While drawing the members’ faces on the mandarin oranges, “What kinda face did he usually do? Ueda’s hairstyle and appearance have sorta remained the same, right? Nakamaru, too, didn’t change much but I think he radiates a sorta fluffy and peaceful aura.”
New year message To Ueda: You seem to have become sharper in terms of your character, but I thought that’s a good sign. It would be nice if it’s a fulfilling year.
To Nakamaru: With regards to the meet-up with the members from the same batch (i.e. Nakamaru, Masuda, Fujigaya and Tsukada), I’ve already given my schedule. I’m just waiting for Masuda to contact me.
Ueda
After he was done drawing the oranges, Ueda showed it to the staff and said, “You can easily tell who is who, right? (lol). Kame has this cool image whereas Nakamaru’s face looks like a cartoon character.” He def has a knack at identifying their features!
New year message To Kamenashi: I met Kame the other day, and he was still as cool as ever. How’s coming with your challenge at throwing a 120km/h fastball?
To Nakamaru: I met him the other day at work, and we do go out for a meal some time too. Are you not gonna change your hairstyle?
Nakamaru
Nakamaru who’s good at illustration. “Both of their noses and mouths are rather unique, though.” and there, he began drawing the oranges. ‘This is Ueda.“ “This is Kame.” The staff took a close look and realized the slight differences in each orange that clearly illustrated each member. Indeed, he’s a professional!
New year message To Kamenashi: I received a message from Masuda that he wants to do a meet-up, so let’s find one day to go together!
To Ueda: We just met recently, isn’t it? Well, Happy new year to you. Are you not gonna change your blond hair?
