>>16792812not to get too "gross akina oshi," but i'm sure he is crushed. he's clearly too upset to stream (wednesday evening he said he'd stream yesterday, but then said he wouldn't after all). plus, as someone who joined nijisanji specifically so he can "sing on a big stage in front of lots of people," a concert like this was his dream. he even said in his comeback zatsu that he has a hell-like schedule but that's okay because he's being given the chance to sing on stage lots and lots. luckily he at least already has nijirock under his belt, and i'm sure they're already planning a revenge concert, but akina's been putting his heart into the rehearsals (they all have), he was looking forward to standing on stage with kanae since this would be his first time with his idol (since they were in separate "units" during nijifes, akina couldn't participate in light up tones, etc.), and it's a step backward from his goal of being a singer. not to mention disappointing his fans, who've already been neglected since he's been too tired after rehearsals to stream much lately--and even that was for naught. i honestly can't fathom how horrible that must feel for everyone, the sadness and anger and frustration that there is and was nothing they can do about what happened.
now that i've vented all my sadness as someone who really loves akina, all we can do is hope for a swift recovery. i'm sure they'll all bounce back in time, but for now just sending all of my love to akina and the others will have to be enough.
