Nagase's usually
really happy at Johnny's Countdown since he's with his friends and colleagues. he kissed Koichi one year, lol. it was just a different Nagase this year. i could just tell. i'm pretty sure he knew prior to the whole CDL starting.
but even if he rushed into his relationship with Aibu Saki, i still feel bad for him. they've known each other pretty much since their teen years and they had a long relationship. i don't know the guy personally, but i just feel like he's hurting. just a fan instinct/personal opinion.
i don't blame either person for the break-up though. they weren't meant to be in the end. i was just being really dramatic, lmao. but i did enjoy them while they lasted. (2 fandoms collided, how could i not love them as a couple? lol)
personally, the hate for both guys is pretty harsh, but it comes with the territory of being in the ayumi hamasaki fandom, i guess.
