This is probably one of my favorite Ohmiya moments ever.
Iâm actually a little speechless right now. When I first read about Ninoâs speech to Ohno while looking through some WakuWaku reports right during that weekend, I already thought it was a huge deal. Not just because they finally went to have dinner together (although that was absolutely awesome in itself) but because of the way Nino expressed himself. At the time and still now, there are different translations of what he said on the internet but no matter which one you read, Ninoâs feelings always come across. I felt like he really wanted to make sure everyone understood one thing: This was important to him and âŚ
The things he said to Ohno there, be absolutely meant them. Every single word of it. I already thought that when I only read about it. Seeing it on my screen now was just like winning the lottery. Because you can see it all here. Nino looks so serious. He makes no faces, isnât doing anything to cheapen the moment. He does it in a way that is still funny, but thatâs because who he is - still, look at his face: he means every word of it. He tells Ohno how he feels, how he maybe has always felt, that Ohno is very precious to him, that he cares about him, that he is his confidant and that they can tell each other anything. This, my dear people, is intimacy. In itâs purest, clearest form. And seeing Nino express it so openly, without regert, shame or distortion really chocked me up.
I think the things Nino implies and the way Ohno looks so happy there tell their very own story. I was so moved by the way Nino told Ohno that it didnât matter if they only went out to eat again 12 years from now - that it didnât matter at all, as long as them could stay that close for those next 12 years too. So close that the next time they miraculously go out to eat, they still wonât have a thing to talk about - because they talk about everything anyways.
I donât know about you guys, but this made my beyond happy. I feel like Nino finally said something for the world to see, said something that he meant with every word and syllable.Â
