Good afternoon, everyone. This is Eichi Tenshouin. I was hoping that I could seek out some advice from those of you willing to listen.

There seems to be a situation in which one of my friends reacts poorly to me in certain situations, and it's made public enough that it's impossible for me to ignore. For example, if a new commercial of mine is announced, this friend will immediately post something to social media that directly criticizes it without actually addressing me by name. Or, if I happen to post certain pictures of myself, the reaction is just as instant. I've looked into this, and I believe it's called "vagueing."

I have spoken to this friend, but each time it seems that things have been solved, the issue starts over once more without warning. I must be causing some ill feelings to inspire this sort of reaction, but it's all tied directly to my success. I wonder what to do...

This is the first time I'm using the network to post something on my own, so I hope that I've done so correctly. Thank you.

[For context, mid last month Eichi had a boost in popularity from a concert after his months of idol work and now is on the radio, TV, commercials, and etc instead of just indie gigs, so feel free to recognize him as an idol from his name if you'd like!]

Please don’t encourage this.

I didn't say I was going to!

[resound]

You were considering it
You did the ... and everything

[gunshow]

Did it look like that?!
I was just thinking out loud! I promise!

[ this single brain cell is so overworked ]

[resound]

[ walked right into the twink lions’ den, you did... ]

If you’re promising that, then decline it properly now
Ren is already enough of the type to get carried away as he is

[ his natural habitat honestly ]

If you'd feel better about this...
I'd probably feel too bad myself to force you to do something like that anyway.

[resound]

Saying that kind of thing...
Isn’t that the type of comment that makes people want to take advantage of you?
But I’m glad my welfare would be safe in your hands
That was the feeling I got from them to begin with

[ “enough about those guys. let’s talk about us.” ]

[gunshow]

I'd be really happy if you thought that.
But is that because you want Eichi-kun to look this way?

[resound]

[ ............ ]

Is that what this always has to come back to?
I can’t comment on something for its own merits?

[gunshow]

You can tell me if I'm wrong! Sometimes I'm afraid I don't get it, and wind up saying something hurtful...
But you know, I'd like to be your audience honestly too.

[resound]

I don’t think
You were being hurtful.

[ actual thoughts, ]

Did you go to the live?

[ you know... The Live. that one... ]

[gunshow]

[ THAT'S HOW IDOLS DO ]

I did! It was a wonderful show. I meant to ask you more about it...

[resound]

I don’t know how much there is to say
Tonight seems to be a bad time
But when you’re free, let me know.

[gunshow]

Yeah, I understand.

What about tomorrow?
Just me, no tricks! I promise.

[resound]

I would've said yes either way, you know.
Tomorrow it is.

[gunshow]

Even so! Things are still like this, so...
It feels right to say.
