Hey, Jyushimatsu! Happy birthday!!! I saw these and I thought about you … I’m sorry I don’t have anything for the other guys right now, but I was just kinda inspired. I hope you all have a good day, and I’m looking forward to what you come up with this summer!

The others start grumbling about how it’s “fiiiine” or “okaaaaay” as Jyuushimatsu marvels at them.

Just as Todomatsu answers his inquisitive looks with “They’re bath bombs, niisan, and you have your own bathroom to use it in now,” Jyuushimatsu pops one into his mouth like a big breath mint.

As the others squeeze at his cheeks and shout to spit it out, Ichimatsu​speaks up quietly.

“How’s it taste?”

Jyuushimatsu opens his mouth, foam pouring out. “Gross!”

Banderole and Flag Productions would like to inform you that eating bath bombs could go horribly, and we do not recommend ingesting them under any circumstances. Thank you for your gift. The other three will go to good use.

There’s a pink and gold striped gift bag with pink tissue paper and curls of gold ribbon sticking out. It smells like coffee and chocolate!

The note attached to the handle reads: Hey there, Hotty Totty! I wouldn’t miss this for the world! Hope you and your brothers have a great day, you hear? It’s signed with a big pink lipstick print.

Inside are six little color-coded cellophane-wrapped bags with chocolate candies from a candy shop near where the famous Hotty Totty anon lives. But wait, there’s more: there’s also a mug, filled with samples of fancy-looking coffee, with a message obviously directed at the pink member of the group.

“Hotty Totty anon!” Todomatsu immediately gets right up in the camera lens, mug pressed to his cheek. “I’m so happy you sent me this, it’s so cute,” he whispers in mock confidentiality to the entire internet, “and totally true.”

The others pause in digging through their candies to jeer and whine, but Todomatsu doesn’t let up for a second.

“I promise, all of this will go to super good use. I always need that little extra morning boost: now I have fan messages and fancy coffee! Thank you, sweetie!” He traces a little invisible heart in the air and slides back to his spot, still giggling over the design on the mug.

I made you all cupcakes! I didn’t make the decorations because I’m not good at that sort of thing but I found these super cute crowns to go on top. I hope they’re okay?

“Look, buddy, your cupcakes made it past security. We’ve cut down on snacks for training and all?” Osomatsu jabs a finger at the camera. “They’ve got little crowns and they’re full of sugar and niceness, they’re damn beautiful.”

The others hum their agreement, already either a) looking at the tiny crowns, or b) seeing if they can eat the tiny crowns. Your gift shan’t go unappreciated, though they may be refrigerated for later. For some reason, they’re getting a lot of food this year.

The gift-getting is out on pause for a moment, the presents they’ve gotten already gently pushed off-camera.

“It’s time to reveal another bit of news!” Choromatsu says with a few cautious claps. Jyuushimatsu joins in, and he looks less tense. “One of the campaigns we’ll all be working on is another collaboration with Amaaai, just like last summer, but with a special twist!”

Todomatsu takes over once Choromatsu glances over at him. “Since the company’s turning 66 this year– crazy, right?– they knew we’d had their ice cream from the start, and asked us what limited edition flavors we missed the most. They’re going to bring back one discontinued special flavor from each decade just for this summer, and we’re going to be promoting it!”

Jyuushimatsu laughs, “It makes me feel kinda old, but it’s ok! They’re bringing back some super fun memories from when we were younger, and I’m really excited!” He claps excitedly, “We’re gonna help you cool down again!”

“Keep an eye on what’s cool and refreshing, and you’ll find both Amaaai and us! It’s a fitting collaboration, even moreso than before!” Karamatsu is already showboating, whoa. “A retro comfort to make a hot summer day even brighter, no?”

“No.” He swipes one more meringue to munch on, satisfied with his work.

“Ichimatsu going in for the kill, nooice.” Osomatsu smiles apologetically at Karamatsu as he fistbumps Ichi. “Prepare your freezers! We’re helping Amaaai make a sweet comeback!”

Happy Birthday my bruzzas~!!!

Osomatsu picks the magazines up with a snicker, “I don’t know whether to be concerned or impressed that you know what I’m into! Thanks a bunch!” He’s already wandering off, leafing through the pages.

“This shirt…” Choromatsu is shocked. “It’s been out of print for years, how did you get this?!” He takes the tank top with no gripes, shockingly. “This is amazing!” He’s gone statue-free, excuse him.

Ichimatsu’s already curled around the stuffed animal. “The staff doesn’t usually let us keep stuffed animals. If it wasn’t a cat, I’d shred it to bits.” But he hasn’t. He’s hugging it. That’s the most thanks you’re going to get.

“How did you get me a shimmery bat?! So cool! I’m definitely using this for practicing my swing!” Jyuushimatsu lights up. “What if I could use this to hit things into the audience at a concert?! I gotta ask the staff!”

Todomatsu checks the charm with a smile. “It actually matches my phone case!” He pulls it out, pink rabbit ears sticking from the top. “This is understated for you, I’m proud!”

Lastly, Karamatsu gets a hug from the other him. “You’ve managed to make my brothers proud. Without mocking my taste in things. You’ve made a miracle happen!” Is he tearing up? What a nerd! “I can always rely on myself to be the best.” He takes a step back so he can bow dramatically. “I thank you, from the bottom of my heart!”
