He’ll never stop being surprised that he has any, my sincerest apologies. “I promise, I shall do my best to keep you in my ranks. I refuse to let you down, my starfairyprince! Your kingdom shall reign in glittery blue forever more!”

Through the remainder of the concert, Karamatsu can’t help but throw in extra flourishes whenever he can. The boy is preening, look what you’ve done.

Color the boys surprised. “You came all the way from the States to see our birthday concert?” Choromatsu is almost yelling. “Are you sure that this is a responsible use of your time?!” Yeah, ok, now he’s yelling.

Totty skitters over to one of the cameras, promptly hogging the whole thing. “I’ve heard we’re actually selling well over there among the nerdier crowds, and they’re telling their other pop-loving friends!” He whispers, almost conspiratorially, “I even heard that we made it onto the radio a few times. I wanna go back, I really do~!”

Oh, there’s a Karamatsu. “Broadening our horizons, and to rest under western skies once more! An opportunity for that just may arise in the near future, if you continue to make your voices heard!”

Jyuushimatsu starts a little chant, Osomatsu joining in moments later. “Ask your local cons for us! Ask your local cons for us! Ask your local cons for us!”

((disclaimer: you can’t book my f6 at anything. but, hey, the stage show F6 boys are currently touring! Maybe you could ask them? But I’m not their rep, I can’t guarantee a thing.))

Ichimatsu has already forgotten how to breathe. No matter how many fans he gains, he still can’t believe he’s praiseworthy. After a few moments of awkward, tense gesticulation, he…

gets down on all fours to bow as he babbles. “I’m seriously nothing special, but I promise I’ll do my best. Thank you.”

This response is met with strange sort of exasperated adoration from the brothers, who each get a shout and a slap to the hand as they attempt to hug or pet him.

“It does kinda suck to be working on our birthday,” Osomatsu says with a pout.

“But it means we get to see you guys!” Jyuushimatsu sits up, waving. “I love getting to see all of you, so it’s a present to me!”

Amid the coos and “aww"s, the brothers ruffle his hair and affectionately call him a suckup. Jyuushimatsu replies that he likes praise, that’s not a bad thing!

So I know a lot of you have been scared/worried about just how many people have been leaving the Oso-san fandom recently, and I wanted to address that really quickly.  (This is all based on my personal opinions and experience, by the way.)

I’ve been on Tumblr for nearly 7 years, and I’ve been on the internet doing various things for almost as long as I can remember.  And during this time I’ve been through a ton of fandoms, all of which inevitably die, or die temporarily before coming back.  This happens to almost every. single. one.  And unfortunately, I think a lot of you (though I’m sure not all of you) are taking this all a little too personally?

People don’t leave a fandom when a series ends because of the FANDOM, they leave because they aren’t getting anymore new content.  And while fan content produced by the fandom is wonderful, it’s just not the same as canon content, you know?  And when there’s no new canon content to be had, people will naturally drift away to find something new to enjoy that IS getting new canon content.  So of course, this winds up with other fandoms dwindling or even completely dying in the event that a series is completely over.

And yes, it’s really sad!  I’m sure most of us who are moving on wish we were still getting new Oso-san stuff, but by that same token, we have a hard time staying interested when we’re not getting any new episodes.  Especially not when there’s a bunch of other series out there that are still actively going, and will probably be active for quite a while.  You also shouldn’t worry too much, because likely if we DO get a season 3 at some point, most of the fans who left will come back!

TL;DR: people leaving the fandom isn’t something you should take personally, people just get bored without new content and want to go enjoy other things that are more active.
