It's okay to be an oddball, let's do it, let's be idols
—A story born from conversation
I read Natsuko-san's article.
I read it, and I cried.
But it wasn't just that.
Me
"This isn't a story that just ends with crying, is it?"
Cry,
cry,
and yes, that's not the end.
Even after crying,
the life of drinking plum wine on the rocks continues.
The time spent remembering the room number remains.
It was a piece of writing where life properly continues.
At that moment,
I then read Kaonashi-san's article.
"An unexpected idol debut in my 50s"
Natsuko-san (comment)
"As someone in my 50s too, this title made my heart skip a beat!"
Ah, right here, a conversation has already begun.
Natsuko-san (continued)
"I empathized with the various episodes of how you learned to cherish yourself through a transformation of thought😊"
This is
not a story about youth.
It's not a story about success either.
A story about the "moment you started to cherish yourself".
And, this final line.
Natsuko-san
"In our 50s, there are still fun things
waiting for us💃✨
Idols too👍"
Me
"...This is it"
I thought, this is it.
Writing "Idols too👍" might look light,
but it's not light.
Not forced positivity
It's not like I'm encouraging anyone
But I truly believe
That "it's okay to keep enjoying things from now on."
I
"That's why I want to make you an idol."
It's not because you're flashy.
It's not because you talk about dreams.
You don't end in tears,
you keep on living,
and yet you're someone who can say "fun things are waiting."
That is an idol.
I
"It's fine to have gout, isn't it?"
It's okay if your joints ache.
It's okay if you're worried about your uric acid levels.
It's okay to sigh for a moment
when you look at your health checkup results.
Even so, when night comes,
you can smile a little,
and you still have a little bit of a desire to dance.
I
"You can be one, an idol."
You don't have to call yourself one.
You don't have to stand on a stage.
But,
your way of life itself is already an expression.
I
"Let's do it, let's be idols."
This is not
a story about lifting someone up.
There are people who are already standing,
and in between them,
a conversation is born,
words go back and forth,
and before you know it,
an idol has been established
—that's the story.
Lastly, one more time.
