Dear Shoon,
we barely said 'welcome back' and now we have to bid you farewell again. I'm confused. And a bit worried as well about the reasons that might have prompted your decision to close your website and blog. What happened? I don't want to dwell on that now, though. My feelings evolved as the hours passed, from hurt to understanding and then to gratefulness, and I've been blogging all day long in my head, as I do when I'm too busy to actually blog.Pity how many blog posts never leave my head! And here I am: it's nearly midgnight and I have to get up early tomorrow, but I needed to write this.
I was starting to cherish Shoon, the blogger (so bubbly and talkative), as much as I cherished Shoon, the idol, and I was eagerly waiting for a new post. It was going to be, for me, the only bright spot in a rather bad week so far because of work problems, but when it came something cracked inside of me... again. These past weeks I'd lived in a sort of daze, not quite daring to believe what had happened: you had returned. But now you're leaving again. They don't lie when they say happiness is a fleeting thing, do they?
But this time it's somewhat different. At least you got to say goodbye this time, you didn't disappear into thin air, as you did last February. Also, supposedly it's a 'so long', not a 'goobdye', or that's what I'm holding on to from your 'for the time being' (当面の間). *please, let it not be a goodbye* In many comments to your previous two blog entries people asked things like 'Are you under a new agency now?' or said they wanted to see you again on TV or in some play or whatever. Naturally I wished for those things too, but for me it would be more than enough if you just kept on blogging, even once a month, or once in 2-3 months, so we could hear from you and know how you're doing.
That was the best gift these past weeks have given us. To know that you're well and happy... that made up for the anxiety and sadness of the past three months. I will always be grateful to you for that, for the way you reached out to us, for giving us the chance to tell you what we always wanted to tell you. It may seem crazy for a person to read over 3000 comments, but if I know you, even just a little, I'd say you will. Before I thought you were kind and considerate (and awesome in general), but now I think you're definitely one of the sweetest persons I've ever 'met'. I want to hear from you again, whether or not you go back to the idol life. I'll be waiting.
Yours,
Irea
