hi ♡ i love mika
i first fell in love with him in february of 2024. before then, i had heard of ensemble stars, but never played it. from the moment i laid eyes on him i loved him, his voice, his clothes, his eyes, and instantly wanted to know everything about him. i played every story he appeared in, wrote every line of dialogue he ever said, collected all of his cards on JP and global.
during school, between doing school work, all I ever did was read about him. constantly, my assignments were covered with doodles or notes about him, like things he'd said. i submitted essays about him and his music. I wrote multiple essays analyzing his music, combining to over 10k words.
hes the only thing that got me through the worst time of my life. even as i thought life had no meaning, about how much i wanted to die, thinking about him gave me a spark of dopamine that kept me going just enough to think "not tonight." sometimes, during school, I would speak to pictures of him.
before I grew my oshikatsu collection, I printed out photos of him like a k-pop stan would, of his pngs, his card CGs, his 3D models, his music videos, and carefully laminated them and brought them along everywhere. i brought them on a cruise with me. now i have an ita bag, plush, nui, etc. my birthday cake even had his face on it :)
its physically painful to be away from him, and I feel nauseous by other "fans" (i.e. People that claim to be obsessed with him. idm casual fans), which is why im sort of strict about my nonsharing status. when I told my therapist about this, she essentially diagnosed me with OCD so! cool! so I like to say hes the reason why I was diagnosed, which was something that definitely needed to happen for my growth. not only am I chronically obsessed with him, but my love and devotion towards him are compulsions. yum!
my favorite songs of him are acanthe and kohaku to ruri no rondo. his vocals in both are stunning, and his lyrical genius is unmatched.
