hey, i was wondering if you could do shin headcanons? <3
Nana ~Boyfriend headcanons~
Manga/anime: Nana
Warnings: nothing

O. Shin'ichi (Shin)
I tell you one thing: you're really lucky Shin unfolded himself enough to let you be his girlfriend. He's a person who doesn't trust others; your presence probably made him so much at ease he decided he wanted to be with you as your boyfriend: in fact, when he starts a romantic relationship with a person, know he'll want to spend his whole life with them, since he isn't the type of guy who is engaged to a person just for fun. He has very serious intentions with you!
Shin will probably continue to prostitute himself, but not because he wants to have a full barrel and a drunk wife: he only does this to survive economically. In fact, if BLAST achieved success or if you were very rich, Shin would immediately stop prostituting himself and he would dedicate himself totally to you
Shin loves when you listen to him play during BLAST concerts or during rehearsals: the fact you dedicate your time to come and listen to him makes him happy, especially if you don't like that kind of music too much. He also really likes it when you cuddle together in bed or on the couch: holding you close to him makes him feel so good he would like to hold you in his arms forever
However, I think Shin's first love language is words of affirmation: he knows what it feels like to not be loved and how it feels when people ignore you, so he always tries to make you feel loved by saying sweet words to you. For example, whenever you wear a really cute dress, he always compliments you ("You look beautiful, (Y/N)."), and he always notice if you cut your hair or paint your nails and point it out to you ("Have you done anything to your hair/nails? You look very good."). He also tells you very often he loves you: as soon as he wakes up and before going to sleep, he always sends you a message (when you don't sleep together), writing he loves you very much; he tells you this even when you get together after not seeing each other for a long time
Shin doesn't really call you by a nickname: mostly he calls you by your name, sometimes also "love" or "my love"
If you didn't know, the saying "to have a full barrel and a drunk wife" (avere la botte piena e la moglie ubriaca) is an Italian saying which means having two mutually exclusive advantages.

Before starting the headcanon, I just wanted to say thanks to an anonymous person who complimented my Hunter x Hunter post. Thank you very much!
T. Nobuo (Nobu)
He's so proud of you!
He absolutely wants to do duets with you, and he would like you to sing the music he wrote for you (yes, he wrote you about ten songs, but he's ashamed to give them to you)
However, he feels really sad when he sees the connection you've with your partner, but not because of you: he's sad because he feels like you two are missing that special connection
Because this reason he decides to talk to you about it ("(Y/N), are you happy with me? Do you feel as connected to me as you do to him?")
Eventually, after you console him, you two will do a duet together and your audience will go totally crazy; all his doubts will be dispelled
O. Shin'ichi (Shin)
He's still a kid: he's still very possessive and he gets jealous easily
Naturally, he's very proud of you, but he gets really jealous seeing your connection with your partner
In fact, at the end of your concert, he'll run into your dressing room ignoring your bodyguards, who'll be trying to stop him from invading your privacy by entering that, and kiss you passionately in front of your partner
"What are you doing, Shin?" "She's mine!"
In the end, he's just so insecure, and he wants your reassurance ("You love me too, don't you? We have that connection too, don't we?")
T. Yasushi (Yasu)
He's the calmest of the band when a situation like this arises
Although he feels a jealous (he really wants to run to the stage where you're performing with your partner and to push you away from him), he quickly puts aside his thoughts about that and, after you finish your performance, he'll compliment you
"You were really good, my dear. I'm proud of you."
However, he'll attempt to establish an even deeper connection than you two already have
His dream will become to do a duet with you and to have the same connection you and your singing partner have

Nana ~Jealousy~
Manga/anime: Nana
Warnings: nothing
(Y/N): your name
Thank you very much! And I hope I didn't make the characters OOC!
T. Nobuo (Nobu)
He isn't a guy who gets jealous easily: he trusts you blindly
However, he still feels very insecure and, when he sees the interactions you've with another guy, he starts asking a series of discouraging questions in his head ('Would (Y/N) be better off with him? Is she happy with me?')
While you're talking to a boy, he tries to stay close to you and to butt in on your conversations and, when you two are alone, he asks you if you're happy with him
After you answer him, he tends to get a little clingy and hugs you tightly for a few minutes
"Were you jealous?" "Yes..."
O. Shin'ichi (Shin)
He quickly becomes very jealous: he's never had anyone to take care of him, so he tends to become very attached to those he cares about
As soon as he sees a boy approaching you, he immediately stands next to you and puts his arm around your waist
If he notices a guy starting to flirt with you, he approaches you two and kiss you passionately
"What's wrong with you, Shin?" "He was too close to you!"
In the end, he's just scared of losing you, so he tries to act on his fear by staying close to you and not letting anyone make you uncomfortable with their attentions
T. Yasushi (Yasu)
I think he's the calmest of all the characters: he trusts you and knows you would never betray him
However, he still feels a little annoyed when he sees you chatting happily with a boy, so he always goes near you
The days after he feels that mild jealousy, he tries to stay closer to you, working from home and sleeping all night with you (yes, I think he works partly at nights because of the band), and he confesses to you many times his love for you and how much he cares for you
"I love you so much, you know that?" "Yes, you told me that about ten times today."
Nevertheless, he never tries to distance you from guys, because he thinks it isn't right towards you: he thinks, just as you don't stop him from talking to women, he shouldn't do that either
H. Ren
Like Nobu, he also rarely gets jealous, but he feels very insecure when he sees you with another guy
However, unlike him, he puts aside his insecurity and, acting tough, he approaches you and hugs you from behind, glaring at the boy you were chatting with
"What are you talking about, darling?"
As soon as you two are alone, though, he starts holding you tighter, but without hurting you, and allows his insecurities to return: "(Y/N), you're happy with me, right?"
He needs a good dose of reassurance from you to make all his insecurities stop
I. Takumi
He's certainly the most jealous and possessive of all the characters: in fact, it's very likely you two often argue due to his excessive jealousy and possessiveness
When he notices you're with a boy, he immediately runs goes to you and hugs you tightly to make him go away
If the guy doesn't get the hint, he kisses you very passionately
"What did you do, Takumi?!" "You're mine, and that was too close to you!"
He remains angry for days after becoming jealous and, out of spite, he may even date other women, just to "return the favor"

Nana ~Cuddling~
Manga/anime: Nana
Warnings: nothing
(Y/N): your name
T. Nobuo (Nobu)
This guy absolutely loves to cuddle with you; after all, physical touch is his first love language
Whenever he can, he either sits on the couch or lies on the bed hugging you
His favorite position, when you two are in bed, is spooning, because he's always been insecure about his height, since he isn't very tall, so holding you in this position makes him feel like he can protect you despite his height
Instead, when you two are sitting on the couch, leg over is the position he most likes to be in
Cuddles for him are a way both to be close to you, to console you and be consoled, and to demonstrate his love for you
O. Shin'ichi (Shin)
He isn't used to give and receive physical affection, as he's always grown up without love
Nevertheless, although he was initially reluctant to do these two actions and to cuddle you, he later began to adore being wrapped in your arms
In fact, his favorite cuddle position is little spoon
However, there's another cuddle position where he holds you he likes: the bear nuzzle
He likes this position so much because it allows him not to show you his red face when he holds you; in fact, whenever he can, he hugs you like this, tucking his head into the crook of your neck
T. Yasushi (Yasu)
Due to the little free time he's available, he believes cuddling is one of the best ways to spend time with you
In fact, whenever he doesn't have to go either to work or to BLAST's rehearsals early in the morning, he remains in your bed with you, holding you tight to him; however, these beautiful idyllic moments don't happen often
The cuddle position he loves most while you two cuddle in bed is the entagled embrace, because he likes standing in front of you and hearing you talk about your day
Another position he loves is you sitting sideways on his lap, with your head on his shoulder, while he works on his laptop at his desk
In short, he likes to give you the impression of protecting you by holding you, but in such a way as to look at your face
H. Ren
He isn't a very affectionate person, so he prefers not to show you too much affection, but, if you ask him to hug or cuddle you, he'll do so without hesitation
He's always been used to being in a relationship with a girl who isn't particularly affectionate, so he prefers to be in cuddling positions which don't put you two too close
In fact, he really enjoys being in the half spoon position
He loves it because this way he can watch you sleep and you don't notice the blush he has while he looks at your cute face (even if you think you're ugly while sleeping, for him you still look beautiful)
When you're sitting, he often wraps his arm around your shoulders in the affirmation huddle position, and he'll blush a lot if you rest your head on his shoulder and snuggle up against him
I. Takumi
Absolutely not
He's against any form of affection, especially in public, and he doesn't want to cuddle you and be cuddled by you without his permission because he's like a cat
However, there's only one position he tolerates to be in, that's the head cradle
He likes this position only because this way he can see your face and it allows him not to show you too much affection
He'll never say it, but he really, really enjoys lying on your thighs after coming back from Trapnest's concerts or rehearsals, while you play with his hair (until you pull a few strands and he literally jumps away like a cat)

im in love with your account 😭🫶🏻 can i ask nana's boys when they are in love/have a crush but you're not dating yet? :3
Nana ~With their crush~
Manga/anime: Nana
Warnings: nothing
(Y/N): your name
T. Nobuo (Nobu)
He's definitely the one who shows his crush on you the most
Indeed, every time he's in your company, he blushes a lot and tries to make you notice him, although he often ends up making a fool of himself
Plus, he always goes out of his way to make you smile, even if it means getting hurt or humiliated
For example, one day you were sad due to a harsh insult on your social profile; he started making jokes, but, after seeing you weren't feeling better, he softened his tone and sweetly listed everything he loved about you
In short, it's truly clear he's totally in love with you; the point is he doesn't realize it and, when he confesses to you, he'll be amazed you already knew his feelings!
O. Shin'ichi (Shin)
It's more likely others will notice before you he has a crush on you
In fact, he doesn't openly demonstrate he has feelings for you: he apparently doesn't talk to you and treat you differently from everyone else, he doesn't give you more time than he gives to his band members, he doesn't give you gifts except for your birthday...
In short, his feelings are almost unrecognizable to you
However, to outside eyes it's more than obvious what he feels
Indeed, his eyes soften as he looks at you, he's always ready to catch you if you should fall and he makes very small gestures for you which pass off as friendship gestures, such as serving you the dish first during lunch or dinner or, when he cooks (at BLAST's retreats or at dinners or lunches with friends), avoiding everything you don't like
T. Yasushi (Yasu)
Like Shin, it's very likely you don't notice his crush on you
He also doesn't behave differently towards you than towards others, but his signals, although still imperceptible, are less notables than those of Shin
For example, if you need help, even if this happens in the middle of the night, he'll rush to you, masking his apprehension thanks to his responsible nature
Another gesture, which he's capable of disguising, is taking care of you when you're sick
One day, in fact, he stayed with you all day, since you had a fever, and he refused to leave your house until you were better ("Yasu, what about your work?" "Don't worry about that, just think about getting well.")
H. Ren
Do you know the typical story of the popular boy who, in love with a girl, courts her by making fun of her so much she thinks he hates her, but in the end he proves to be the sweetest person in the world with her?
Well, that's how Ren is
He's truly a mystery to you: he's a mix between a tease and a very sweet boy
For example, one day he had teased you quite cruelly, almost making you burst into tears; the next day, having noticed how you avoided him like the plague, he came to you and consoled you sweetly
In the end, he's just a shy and insecure guy trying in his own way to get you to notice him
I. Takumi
You'll never know what he feels: he behaves with you totally as he does with everyone he knows
No one was, is and will be able to notice his feelings in any way, least of all you
However, there's only one event, since he's had a crush on you, where he demonstrated those: one evening, while you were at a dinner with Trapnest, a boy had tried to flirt with you; Takumi had gotten so jealous he almost fought with him, if it hadn't been for you, who hugged him tightly, begging him to stop
By the way, when you remind him of that event, he ignores you and walks away (so you can't see his red face for showing you his feelings)
It'll truly be a wonderful surprise for you when he confesses to you!

May I please request headcanons for Nobu, Shin, and Yasu going on a cruise with their wife for their anniversary and the boat ends up capsizing due to a hurricane?
Nana ~Boat's capsizing during your cruise~
Manga/anime: Nana
Warnings: nothing
T. Nobuo (Nobu)
At first he won't even notice the boat is capsizing: he'll just think it's moving due to the hurricane
As soon as he notices this, he'll immediately rush towards you and act as a cushion: all the time the boat is moving, he'll be holding you and preventing you from crashing into objects or people
He'll try to take you to the highest part of the boat, the one which won't be in the water yet, so you can try either to escape on the lifeboats or to look for other ways to save yourself, for example by standing on a wooden beam
Eventually, you'll manage to get into a lifeboat, which will take you safely to the mainland
"In the end, our anniversary didn't go so well, did it?"
O. Shin'ichi (Shin)
When the boat starts to capsize, you two will be sleeping
Unfortunately, he's a very deep sleeper, and you'll be the one to wake him up, so at first he'll still be groggy from sleep and you'll still be the one to save both of you
However, when he realizes you're risking your life for both of you, all his sleep will seem to vanish and his protective instincts will kick in
In fact, he'll immediately pick you up and run towards the nearest lifeboat; nevertheless, this one will already be full, so he'll move on to the one after that and the one after that, but they all won't even have a place for you
Finally, completely desperate, he'll take a wooden beam and make you two stand there until help arrives; they'll arrive and you two will be safe
T. Yasushi (Yasu)
As soon as he hears the boat rocking and people start screaming, he'll immediately come to you and start acting as if he expected it might happen
Actually, when he booked the cruise, he had already researched what to do in every possible situation, even if the boat capsized
Like Nobu, he'll also act like a cushion, protecting you from all possible impacts
"My first priority was, is and always will be you", he told you several times, and he'll act accordingly: he'll immediately start looking for a lifeboat and put only you, as there'll only be one place available, on it; your protests will be of no avail, because he'll be adamant
Eventually, after you desperately search for him after arriving on the mainland, you'll meet up with him again

Can I request more bf headcanons for Nobu, Shin and Yasu?
Nana ~Boyfriend headcanons~
Manga/anime: Nana
Warnings: nothing
Yasu's headcanons are here.
T. Nobuo (Nobu)
Nobu confessed to you in such a romantic way you almost burst into tears from both happiness and embarrassment: one evening, he knocked on the window of your house, holding his guitar and a bouquet of red roses; after giving them to you, he began to play a very sweet melody he had composed for you, looking straight into your eyes for the entire time of the song; after making the last note, he told you he loved you in a soft, but also shy and trembling voice
Instead, you started the first kiss: you two were on one of your afternoon dates, and you were walking on the riverbank holding hands; it was winter, the sun was setting and it was very cold -in fact, you had to be wrapped up in your coats-, which is why you had to return to your homes (you weren't living together yet); he, as a gentleman, had accompanied you to your home and you, before entering the door, briefly placed your lips on his, whispering a delicate "thank you"
Regarding kisses, they're usually initiated by him and very sweet and soft, as if to show you all his affection for you; when you two kiss, one of his hands goes to hold your waist to draw you closer to him, the other is either on your cheek or on the back of your neck
He's very open about PDA: if you're in public and you want to hold hands or want him to hug you, he does it easily; perhaps, the only action he's very ashamed of are kisses, but, if you ask him for one, he's unable to resist your pleading eyes
Arguments between you two aren't very frequent, and most of the time they break out due to your insecurities; they aren't very violent and they're resolved quickly, since Nobu isn't able to stay away from you: generally, you make peace within one or two hours of an argument, also because he has no problem apologizing if he's wrong
O. Shin'ichi (Shin)
You confessed your feelings first: you two were arguing, since you were worried about him smoking too much and prostituting himself, and Shin was very angry due to that; at one point, he yelled to leave him alone, asking why you cared so much about him, to which you replied you loved him
I think you started the first kiss too: BLAST's debut concert had just ended in a huge success and all the band members were happy and very satisfied; you went to the concert and, as soon as you met Shin in his dressing room, you threw yourself into his arms, complimented him on the performance, and planted a sweet kiss on his lips
His kisses are very needy, and they reflect his desire to always be with you. If these are started by him, he has one hand wrapped around your waist and the other around the back of your neck; instead, if they're started by you, he's initially taken aback, and therefore he remains still for a few seconds, then he hugs you tightly, once the initial shock has passed
I think he's a lot more reserved about PDA: he'd rather keep all the affection just for you two, but he shows it in particular instances. For example, one day a man was bothering you while you were going out to have breakfast; Shin happened to pass by, but he immediately rushed towards you two, grabbed you by the waist and kissed you passionately
Your arguments often happen because of his impression you're interfering in his life (since he grew up without affection, it's normal for him to consider your slightest concern excessive and strange), and they're very strong, so much you often end up in tears due to his insensitive words; he's usually the first to apologize, but this happens at least a day after the argument, because he needs his time to reflect on the mean things he said to you

Nana ~With a professional dancer~
Manga/anime: Nana
Warnings: nothing
T. Nobuo (Nobu)
He loves to see you dance and, if you do that to his tunes, he'll blush madly and freeze while looking at you
He constantly asks the other BLAST members to make you dance during their concerts, and he might sulk if they refuse
"I didn't convince them..." "Oh, Nobu, it doesn't matter!" "But I wanted to have you with me while I play..." "We both know you would be distracted by looking at me."
If you receive unpleasant comments about your body that lead you to not eat, he'll try to talk to you to convince you there's nothing wrong with your body
From that moment on, he'll also give you many compliments to ensure you're never sad
O. Shin'ichi (Shin)
He's happy for you, for the goals you have managed to reach, although sometimes he's jealous of your success
He often sneaks in to watch you train alone or with your company, if you've one, and he always gets yelled at by you
Moreover, he never misses one of your shows and, when he watches you dance, he literally has stars in his eyes, especially if you do difficult steps
If you do a choreography based on sensuality, he'll have a double reaction: the first will be blushing madly at your steps, the second being madly jealous because he won't be the only spectator of it
"Shin! You came to see me!" "..." "What's up?" "..." "Love?" "What were those steps? I want you to do them just for me..." "Awwww, you're jealous!" "..."
T. Yasushi (Yasu)
He's very proud of the goals you've managed to reach because he knows how complicated the world of dance is
At the end of your shows, which he always attends, he always compliments you, despite being inexperienced in the subject
For this reason, he'll try to learn about dance and occasionally amaze you with his knowledge ("Ugh... In the last choreography I messed up-" "The Entrelacé, right? I noticed you were about to slide forward, but I don't think the other spectators noticed it." "How do you know it?")
If anyone ever makes fun of your work, he'll immediately defend you, claiming your profession is complicated and beautiful to look at, as well as useful for advancing the culture of the performing arts
Know he'll always support you, no matter what type of dance you do

T. Nobuo (Nobu)
He really appreciates you've the same love for music as him, especially because you can understand when he comes home late to practice with his band
He never misses your shows, even if he might not like your kind of songs; you always can find him in the front row at every concert, and he cheers you like no other so much so spectators sometimes mistake him for a maniac fan
He's the one who writes the music for your songs
Moreover, when you two were just friends, you wanted to pay him for those, but he always refused; now, your payment is a kiss for a tune
He loves hearing you sing what he writes, especially if he accompanies you on guitar: in fact, you two very often make wonderful duets!
O. Shin'ichi (Shin)
He feels a very strong affection for you, and he admires you a lot, but sometimes he can't help but be envious of your success, success he would like his band to have too
Despite that, though, the feeling of love prevails, and in fact he absolutely wants to watch your rehearsals and every concert, and he'll be offended if you don't give him front row tickets
"The ticket?" "This is just a charity performance and I'll only be singing one song. I thought you wouldn't want to come." "I want... And I want a front row ticket because I want to see and listen to you well."
Sometimes he becomes insecure because he thinks he doesn't deserve to be with a person of your level, and you always have to reassure him
Furthermore, know he'll do everything to help you if you ever feel bad due to the stress of being an idol
T. Yasushi (Yasu)
He admires you very much, especially for your meticulous organization between rehearsals, concerts, tours, hobbies and him
In fact, he feels a warmth in his chest if you prepare lunch for him to take to his office because he knows how busy you're
Unfortunately, since you're both quite busy, you can't spend much time together, but you two still manage to spend a few hours a week together (obviously excluding the hours you sleep)
Speaking of your dates, they're almost always indoors to avoid your fans and often consist of you two cooking dinner together, although you also happen to go out
He knows how tough the idol industry is, so he goes out of his way to help you as a boyfriend and as a lawyer too

Could I request shin x reader who is nana’s younger sibling but… almost nothing like nana? Opposite aesthetic, total sweetheart, a little like hachi but she does have nana’s sense and snarky attitude/humor sometimes. + How nana (and hachi) would feel about their relationship?
Nana ~With Nana's younger sibling but totally different from her~
Manga/anime: Nana
Warnings: nothing
(Y/N): your name
I wrote a short scenario about Nana and Hachi's reaction. It's here.
O. Shin'ichi (Shin)
Your relationship is... interesting: it's totally secret but, at the same time, it's totally obvious there's something between you two. In fact, everyone except the two Nana have noticed the sweet look Shin gives you and how, strangely, when one of you two leaves, the other follows immediately after
But regarding you two specifically, Shin truly considers you the best and most important person in his life: having grown up without love, it's good for him to have a sweet, but able to keep his feet on the ground thanks to them answers sharp and humorous, person like you
Since you keep your relationship a secret, you two remain quite detached in public but, when you're alone, he sheds his fake tough guy personality to a much more sensitive one, and he transforms into a totally different person, much more affectionate and kind
Regarding your Hachi-style personality traits, he probably finds them very cute and charming. Sometimes he enjoys seeing your reactions to his gifts or remarks, but he'll be jealous if those aren't caused by him
Nevertheless, the only trait he might not like is your innocence, especially because he fears people might take advantage of you, just like they did with Hachi, when he or Nana aren't with you (because let's face it: with Nana no one dares to deceive or take advantage of you)
If you didn't know, the saying "to stay with your feet on the ground" (essere/stare con i piedi per terra) is an Italian saying which means staying sane and not going crazy.

Nana ~Wait, you're what?!~
The first part of the request is here.
"You're what?!" That's what Nana hears when she comes home from a tiring day at work. Closing the door behind her, she goes to the source of the noise, her friend Hachi, in her little sibling's room, and what she sees makes her feel multiple emotions: Hachi is holding (Y/N) tightly with tears in her eyes, the girl has a shocked face, and Nana is sure of seeing a bit of panic in it too, as she shakes the hand of... Shin?! What is he doing here?
"Nanaaaa! Our little sister got engaged to Shin, I'm so happy for them!"
"Hachiko, she's my sister, not yours!" The woman replies, without fully realizing her friend's statement. After a few seconds, though, having understood what she said, she stops to look first at her sibling and then at her alleged boyfriend, shocked and with her mouth open and eyes wide.
For about five minutes, there's dead silence in the room -only the sound of the fan, turned on due to the unbearable heat, and the music of Trapnest (which only increases Nana's annoyance) downstairs can be heard-, while everyone realizes in different ways what has just happened: (Y/N) is squeezing the hand of Shin, who's also wide-eyed and worried Nana will separate them, very tightly with almost tears in her eyes; instead, Hachi has just realized what she's done and, as she lets the girl go, she tries to correct her words with a confused stammer, waving her arms in front of her.
"Wait, you're what?"
"Nana..."
"(Y/N), what are you?"
"Big sister -(Y/N) starts speaking hesitantly- Shin and I love each other, a lot. Whatever you say, whatever you do, our feelings won't change. I know you're worried about me, but I'm not a child anymore: I can decide who to be with. With Shin I'm so happy, and he makes me feel so loved, so, please, don't push us away." As she finishes speaking, the girl's voice cracks and her eyes begin to fill with tears, so Shin approaches her and puts his arm around her waist, bringing her closer to him.
Nana takes a deep breath and approaches the couple, then gently stroking (Y/N)'s hair and murmuring: "You've grown up..."
She then turns to Shin: "You, if I find out you hurt her, I swear I'll kick you out of BLAST and make you pay for what you did. Have you understood?"
The boy nods and the woman gives a very small smile, holding the couple close.
"Well! Now let's go have a drink!"
Shin and (Y/N) move on, still in disbelief at the ease with which the girl's big sister accepted their relationship, so Nana and Hachi are left alone to talk.
"I'm happy for our little sister."
"My little sister." The brunette corrects.
"I'm happy for her too -She continues- although it seems to me she's growing up so fast..."
"..."
"..."
"Nana, are you crying?"
"I-I'm not crying, I just got an eyelash in my eye!"

At first, he was quite confused by your behavior: why would you change your behavior in public?
He blushed a lot when you two were in public and you were flirty with him, and he blushed even more if you shyly hid yourself behind him with your friends
After a while, he got used to that, although he doesn't particularly like you masking your true personality
Regarding your dance, he can't look at you while you perform it, because he'll freeze with his eyes wide open and blush a lot and, after you finish dancing, he won't be able to look you in the face due to embarrassment
Instead, he loves your kind of music!
O. Shin'ichi (Shin)
He understands your change of personality very well, since he does it a bit too, and he really enjoys teasing you when you two are alone
"S-stop it p-please, Shin..." "Oh? You weren't that shy before, were you?"
However, he might get a little jealous if you're too flirty with a fan and, if you've revealed your relationship, he'll definitely appear behind you and glare at the fan
He also blushes when he sees you dancing, but he has a much milder reaction than Nobu: at least he's able to see your performances
Although I don't think your music is his genre, he still comes to your concerts to support you and forces brings the other members of BLAST to go too
T. Yasushi (Yasu)
He's certainly the one who handles your change of personality best: at first he was a little taken aback, but then he got used to it almost immediately, and now he almost doesn't react anymore
Keyword: almost, because you can rarely surprise him!
All you need to do is to change your usual shy behavior to a more flirty one and flirt with him a little when you two are alone, and you'll be able to see a very light blush on his cheeks
Only in that way you can trigger a little embarrassment in him: you won't succeed even if you dance in front of him!
Despite being very busy, between work and his band, he always finds time to go to your concerts, especially because he wants to give you all the support he can
H. Ren
Another one who loves to tease you in private knowing how shy you're...
Really, whenever he can, he makes jokes which embarrass you, just to see you trying to cover your red face
He admires you a lot for the level you've managed to reach, but sometimes he feels a little insecure: why, he wonders, should you be with him, when you've many other men at your feet?
When you dance, his reactions will be two: the first will be to blush a little, the second to think about how beautiful you're
Your music is a source of inspiration for him: he loves listening to you sing, and he often writes the tunes for Trapnest listening to you (it could also have happened his band almost suffered an investigation for plagiarism of your songs)
I. Takumi
Jealous, jealous, jealous, extremely jealous
He's always jealous and overly protective no matter what you do, and that often leads you two to a lot of arguments
For example, does he think you're too flirtatious with a fan? He'll walk towards you, grab you by the arm and drag you to an empty corner, glaring at both the fan and you
Plus, you had to struggle to get him to accept your dance: due to his controlling nature, he really believed he could stop you from dancing; to convince him, you threatened to leave him; finally, he had to give in because, in the end, he loves you, otherwise he wouldn't be with you
Nevertheless, he really likes your music, and he might even ask you to sing with Trapnest
💮 Rules 💮 Masterlist 💮
My baby, My baby, your my baby say it yo me 🎶
I'd rather be a singing machine that doesn't feel tired or jealous. And he doesn't feel anything at all. But if you don't feel anything, it's impossible to sing, right?
Nana Pairings/Characters as Mitski Lyrics !!
Please keep in mind that not all of the pairings I mention are romantic^^. And please understand that these are just my interpretations of the songs, and it's totally okay if you don't agree with me!!
SPOILER WARNING!! This post contains a whole lot of Nana manga spoilers, so if you are not up to date with the manga, I suggest you get up to date before you continue reading.
I also want to make it clear that I may not associate the whole song with the character I assign it to. For some of these, I only associate them with specific lines from that song.
Nobody - Reira Serizawa
My God, I'm so lonely
So I open the window
To hear sounds of people
To hear sounds of people
Venus, planet of love
Was destroyed by global warming
Did its people want too much too?
Did its people want too much?
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't want your pity
I just want somebody near me
Guess I'm a coward
I just want to feel alright
And I know no one will save me
I just need someone to kiss
Give me one good honest kiss
And I'll be alright
I think this is the most straight-forward comparison in the post, and it's one I've seen many times before. At it's core, 'Nobody' is a song about loneliness and alienation, both things that Reira struggles with throughout the series. Her wanting to sleep with Takumi and Shin comes from a place of loneliness, which I think is pretty similar to the line 'I'm just asking for a kiss, give me one good honest kiss and I'll be alright'
Fireworks - Hachiko/Nana Komatsu & Nana Osaki
To be completely honest, I associate this song with the entire Fireworks arc of Nana, and all of the future scenes we see.
And then, one warm summer night
I'll hear fireworks outside
And I'll listen to the memories as they cry, cry, cry
My interpretation of this song is that it is about living life and moving on despite the pain you've dealt with. Living with trauma, and not letting it hold you back. I believe the 'summer night' refers to a time where the memories of your struggle might come flooding back, and you have to face them.
I associate this song with the older and wiser Hachiko we see in the future sequences in Nana. While we see that she has grown and changed, become stronger because of her struggles, we know that she still carries them with her. I think this is most evident in the scene in the last episode, in which Nobuo grabs her hand, and in the scene where Hachiko and Shin see the photos of Nana singing.
You are a liar if you say that this song does not remind you of Nana in any way.
Washing Machine Heart - Shin & Hachiko
I want to make it VERY clear that I do not associate the entire song with Hachi and Shin. Not at all. Just these particular lyrics:
Baby, though I've closed my eyes
I know who you pretend I am
I know who you pretend I am
These lines, in my head, are from Hachiko to Shin. She knows that he sees her as a mother figure.
Should've been me - Hachiko & Nobu
I've seen a lot of people on TikTok make edits of this song with Sachiko, Shoji, and Hachi. And initially, I thought it was a pretty valid comparison.
My reasoning being: Sachiko shares a bit of a resemblance to Hachi when she first met Shoji. Not only that, Hachi hadn't been giving Shoji what he wanted in their relationship, so he turned to Sachiko. At first glance, this may seem like one of the most obvious comparisons on this list.
However, after a quick look on genius.com, and a look into other people's views on the song, my interpretation on this song completely changed.
When I saw the girl looked just like me
And it broke my heart, the lengths you went to hold me
To get to have me, 'cause
[Chorus]
I haven't given you what you need
You wanted me, but couldn't reach me
So you went into your memory
Relived all the ways you still want me
I haven't given you what you need
You wanted me, but couldn't reach me
I'm sorry, it should've been me
In the song, Mitski sings about how her partner is in love with somebody else, somebody who looks like her, and is saddened by this fact. In my opinion, this person that her partner is in love with is not a different person, but an idealized version of Mitski herself. A version that her partner has projected onto her. They are in love with this version that lives in their mind, not Mitski herself.
I think it's pretty easy to see how my mind immediately went to Nobuo and Hachi after I realized this. Nobuo has the habit of idealizing those around him. He does this to Nana, Ren, and most notibly, Hachiko. I am by no means trying to say that Nobu did not love Hachiko, but it's pretty evident that he did idealize lot of things about her, especially when he first started liking her.
I learned this interpretation of the song from reddit user vampireweekdayz. If you want a more in depth and interesting look at the song, I highly suggest that you check out their post abt it on r/mitski. They explained it much more eloquently than I did!
Jobless Monday- Hachiko/Nana Komatsu
Jobless Monday is about the feeling of being in a dead end relationship. A relationship that is nearing it's inevitable end. A relationship in which you are not important to the other person.
I think it's easy to see how I associate this song with Hachiko, as she is no stranger to this feeling.
This line in particular struck me:
He only loves me when
Theres a means he means to end
I think this perfectly encapsulates how Hachiko is not prioritized in any of her relationships(aside from her and Nobuo's). She's seen as unimportant. We see this Shoji, Asano, and Takumi.
I also think this song applies to the early days of her relationship with Takumi. She knew he didn't exactly see her as somebody worth respecting, and she knew that he probably wasn't planning on pursuing an actual relationship with her. She knows not to believe Takumi when he promises to see her as soon as the tour concludes. And even when she marries him, she knows she will always be second to trapnest.
Francis Forever - Nana Osaki
I don't know what to do without you
I don't know where to put my hands
I've been trying to lay my head down
But I'm writing this at three AM
I don't need the world to see
That I've been the best I can be, but
I don't think I could stand to be
Where you don't see me
On sunny days I go out walking
I end up on a tree-lined street
I look up at the gaps of sunlight
I miss you more than anything
Francis Forever is a song about inadequacy, and coming to terms with the end of a relationship. I associate this song with Nana O, after her breakup with Ren. One of the central themes of the song is the narrorator being torn between not caring about other's opinions of her, and wanting to know her former lover's perception of her. She can't stand to be without this person(her former lover), nor can she stand not knowing where she stands with them.
I think this pretty accurately encapsulates Nana's feelings towards Ren when they first split. It also perfectly encapsulates Nana's feelings to those around her-- she really doesn't care about their perception, good or bad. I think the fact that she didn't bother to defend herself when accused of prostitution in highschool and ended up expelled because of it really proves this.
In my opinion, Blast, Ren, and Hachiko are the only exceptions to this rule.
I guess - Nana Osaki
I guess, I guess
I guess this is the end
I'll have to learn to be somebody else
It’s been you and me since before I was me
Without you, I don't yet know quite how to live
I guess is a song about the unexpected ending of a relationship, and preparing to move on. These lines in particular reminded me of Nana O after Ren's death. Being emotionally unequiped to part with a relationship, and lacking the closure to say that it is definitively over, describes Nana O's reaction to Ren's death pretty well. She felt as if he was part of her, a part she couldn't live without.
With him gone, she'll have to learn how to live knowing that it's definitively over, unlike their first breakup.
I don't smoke - Takumi Ichinose & Hachiko/Nana Komatsu
I don't smoke
Except for when I'm missing you
To remember your mouth
How it tasted true
And I don't smoke
Except for after I've held you, baby
Being with you
Makes the flame burn good
[Chorus 1]
So if you need to be mean
Be mean to me
I can take it and put it inside of me
If your hands need to break
More than trinkets in your room
You can lean on my arm
As you break my heart
This song is all about a toxic, but addictive relationship. The singer is well-aware that this person is bad for them, and yet they still stay with them, whether it's out of love or dependency.
I've seen people associate this song with Yasu before, and I absolutely don't agree with that. The very moment I read through the lyrics of this song I immidietly thought of Takumi and Hachiko.
From the very beginning of their relationship, Hachiko knows that Takumi probably doesn't have any intentions of pursuing a serious relationship with her. She knows that their relationship isn't a loving one, and yet she still sleeps with him, and lets the people around her believe that she is in love with him.
Even after she marries him, she knows that their relationship is not healthy, and yet she stays. For her children, and because she depends on Takumi.
Why didn't you stop me? - Nobuo Terashima
[Verse 1]
I know that I ended it, but
Why won't you chase after me?
You know me better than I do
So
[Chorus 1]
Why didn't you stop me?
Why didn't you stop me
And paint it over?
[Verse 2]
I look for a picture of you
To keep in my pocket
But I can't seem to find one
Where you
'Why didn't you stop me?' is a song that deals with themes of unhealthy idealization and dependency. Sound familiar?
The second verse in particular reminds me of Nobuo. In it, Mitski realizes the difference between the memories she has of her past lover, and the reality of them. She projects a perfect image onto her partner, seeing what she wants to see rather than what was actually there. Which is exactly what Nobuo does to many people around him, namely Hachiko, Ren, and even Nana O.
I believe this verse really encapsulates what I think Nobuo would've felt when reflecting on his relationships years after the events of the main story.
I think the chorus can sort of be associated with Nobuo's feelings towards Hachiko after they initially split. He's confused, left wondering just why Hachiko chose Takumi, and what happened leading up to it. He texts her, wondering why she isn't fighting to stay with him. Why hasn't she chased after him?
Outro
Did I make it obvious that Hachiko is the character I relate to the most? And that Yasu and Ren are the characters I struggle to understand the most? I really struggled to find songs that made sense for the male characters in the show. It's partly because they're some of the ones I undestand the least, and some of Mitski's songs deal with themes linked to being a woman.
N e way, I rly enjoyed making this and I hope y'all rly enjoyed reading it! I mostly used genius to get a good grasp on the songs !!
Thanks for reading this far if you have !!
“Being a Member of BLAST”
Life is short why not take a chance and join a band? Masc!reader intended
Minor spoilers for NANA
Joining | Nana
Actually joining the band wasn’t hard especially because when you met Nana there was no band💀
You guys met at the train station when she first moved to Tokyo
You already lived in Tokyo and were just returning from a trip when you saw her
It was like an instant click she caught your eye
“Hey, do you happen to sing by any chance?”
“Who are you?”
“Don’t worry about that just know I can play guitar pretty damn good if I do say so myself!”
She was tired from the long ass ride and didn’t know anyone in Tokyo aside from Ren
Went back to your place and played for her
“I’ll think about it.”
Nana isn’t a very emotional or open person so she tends to keep secrets but over time if you guys get that close she’ll vent to you
If you smoke she’ll always ask you for your lighter
Older sister younger brother energy
Opposites | Hachi
Nana paid you an abrupt visit to tell you about her new place and totally not just for you to fix the AC
Checking the place out you laid eyes on an inverted version of Nana
“Hi, I’m Nana Komatsu!”
“Just call her Hachi.”
“Nana!”
“Nice to meet you, Hachi?”
She’s had a crush on just about every BLAST member , so, of course she has had a crush on you before
If you wear makeup or paint your nails she would love to do it for you
Amazing cook and if you ever wanted anything she’d happily make it for you
She rlly just wants to be needed
Definitely went to you for relationship advice with Nobu
You tend to just appear places so you were one of the first people to know about her pregnancy and went to the hospital with her
You stayed outside though to avoid ppl thinking you were the father 💀
You def don’t help with her shopping addiction
Shopping sprees constantly that’s why your broke as shit
“Should I get the soft blue or purple skirt?”
“Both.”
After the Takumi drama you guys would stay in contact and when Nobu wasn’t at your place she’d come to watch you practice alone
You’d support her decision because it’s her life in the end
Formation | Nobuō
The unforgiving aggression spewing from your ringing phone at the dead of night
Some random number was calling you and for whatever reason you answered, confident that it wasn’t a scam caller
“Hello?”
“It’s Nana, come over.”
“I’m not into late night favours if you get what I mean.”
“That’s not what I’m calling for, just get over here!”
Reluctantly wandering the dark streets of Tokyo you made your way over to Nana’s apartment, you’d only been there once to help with the AC where you learned of the other Nana or Hachi
Opening the door to reveal the two residents and a blonde man standing with his guitar in hand
“Took you long enough. Anyways, like I said Nobuo I already have a guitarist so go home.”
“Well we could always play together I have nothing against dual guitars!”
“You aren’t helping.”
“Good.”
You and Nobu got along great your guitars and personalities blending perfectly
He talks with you about everything especially when he and Hachi get together
If you’re shorter than/same height him he’d be happy to have another short guy in the band
If you’re taller he’d be happy if you didn’t make fun of his height though he does tend to light heartedly joke abt it
He likes to go to you for fashion inspiration and vice versa
Drunk karaoke
You would help him with song writing
You guys would be around the same age too so besties
You guys get along the best in the band
The bass | Shin
After the whole Nobu moving to Tokyo fiasco all you guys need is a bassist and drummer
Nobu sending you a picture of Hachi’s little drawing of the 3 of you on the band poster
You met up with them at the studio to practice with Shinichi on bass
For such a young kid he was pretty good player (granted your only like 6-7 years older)
Being confused right alongside him when everyone stopped playing
You, Shin, and Nobu are like the 3 musketeers
You- Oldest, Nobuo - Middle, Shin - Youngest
Shin snatched your clothes on a daily basis much like he does with Nobu
Unlike Nobu, you don’t care
He stays over at your place more than you’d like to admit
He basically lives there
He would definitely go to you about the Reira/Layla situation
Has mini fashion shows in your room with a fake runway and everything
You guys play games together on your console
He relaxes and is actually a kid when he hangs out with you
Has you paint his nails
He has moments when he storms off if you bring up a certain subject but he never stays mad for long and shows up at your door
Likes to go eat at new places with you especially if you’re paying for it
“I’m gonna get the chocolate croissants, one of those fancy hot chocolates, and..oh! You’re paying for this right?”
“Um..”
Bit a of spoiler kinda but later in the manga when he got arrested you’d be the only one to visit him
Completion | Yasu
You definitely shat yourself when you first met Yasu
He’s the responsible one in the band so he’s like a father figure to you especially if you didn’t have one
You two probably get to the studio first before anyone else
He’d always let you talk/rant to him if you ever needed to
Would be surprised if you remembered his birthday and got him a gift
If you smoke he’d go on smoke breaks with you
If you don’t smoke he’d make sure to hold his cigarette away from you/out of your face
Would teach you various card games
If you didn’t want to watch a movie alone he’d watch it with you
Any legal troubles go to him
Scratch that ANY troubles go to him
“Man you’re like a wise monk.”
“..because I’m bald?”
“No, because you’re wise..and because you’re bald.”
𖡻 同じ姿勢を続ければ、より良い未来を期待しても無駄です。
