Just like I’m sure a number of people here, Senbatsu has a special place in my heart. It’s also one of the reasons why I think I’ll be staying around with Mia, because it’s been so long since I last enjoyed being a member of a directory. The admins (bless your wonderful, wonderful hearts) spent so much time and effort coming up with engaging and fun events and I believe I’ve shared this with admin Momo hime before, but Senbatsu has rekindled my love for writing. At first I was intimidated by the thought of a completely literate directory but now, I can’t believe I haven’t been para-ing as much as I do here before. This is also one of the few times I’ve kept a muse for so long, and I think it’s because of how great Senbatsu was.

I want to give out other accounts you can catch me at but for now, they’re still in the process of establishment. However, you can always add me on my personal/OOC AIM (username: akajnishi) and I hope we can continue to stay in touch. And! If you want to continue plotting something or para-ing with Kuon, please let me know!! I don’t know what to do about him but I love him so I want to keep him around somehow.

Mariya could still rememeber clearly the first time she had ever gotten in front of the camera as an official member of MNT48. At the time, her fear of accidentally slipping up and her nervousness were clear as day to the staff and all she could do was try her best not to let that show on screen. Looking back at it now makes it all seem so ridiculous, but it was still nice to see how far she's come ever since that day. Now she was more confident and comfortable in front of the camera -- maybe not as much as veteran celebrities but she's getting there.

Besides having to film their individual videos inside the theater itself, no other particular instructions were given and so, she decided to film hers on the stage itself. She asked the camera man to start rolling and she gestured for them to follow her from the backstage onto the stage. They were currently given a short break in the middle of rehearsals and some of the other members decided to stay on the stage, gathered together in small circles and exchanging conversations. Mariya waved at them happily and at the sight of the camera, they all waved back and some made silly faces. She chuckled and picked a spot closer to the front of the stage, sitting down cross-legged Indian style and asking for the camera man to sit down in front of her.

As soon as they got comfortable, the question was prompted to her and she took a moment to think of an answer.

"As narcissistic as it sounds, I think the song I prefer over the rest is Kuroi Tenshi. I really like the song itself because it's catchy and edgy; the lyrics have a, well, kuroi and cool feeling to them, and I hope I will be able to express that properly. I quite like the choreography as well, but what I like most is the costume. It has the colours black and red, and the mini skirt to top it all off makes the whole costume quite sexy. Honestly, I was a little insecure at first. "Can I pull this costume off?" I asked myself, because the costume is so sexy and I never really saw myself as sexy! But I didn't want to disappoint everyone by backing out or asking for another costume so I just put it on and I realized that I loved it! So, if you want to see me in a sexy costume, you should definitely come for MNT48's first ever stage performance! We'll make sure you won't regret it!"

Megumi had known of BYS42 ever since their debut and though she had her eyes on one specific member, she was open to the possibility of developing an interest in another, and she did. When the newest members of BYS42 was introduced, her eyes were drawn to Itano Mamoru and maybe, she'll have another favourite member.

LETTER

To Itano-kun,

Hello! I don't think you know me because I'm a year below you but I'm quite sure we went to the same high school together! I've been a fan of BYS ever since their debut and when I saw you on TV, I was so surprised! I feel like there are other BYS members from our high school but the only face I can remember is yours. It's probably because I had a bit of a crush on you, senpai ehehe~

If I find out if there are really other BYS members from our high school then I'll make sure to show my support but for now, you'll get special attention from me! Or something like that~ This is just a regular package of chocolates, but I really do send my support and love with it! Though I said I had a small crush on you, I'm afraid I didn't get to know you as well as I hoped because we're in different years so I hope that we'll get to know and see more of you soon enough!

If you do know of any other schoolmates of ours, please do help me send them well wishes! All the best, Itano-kun! I'm cheering for you! Happy Valentine's Day!!

Haruka is an upbeat and energetic high school girl who somehow was always knowledgeable when it came to what was currently in or popular. She had always been a fan of boy bands and as a result of that, it was a given that she was thrilled to see the newest members of BYS42. Out of the second generation members, the one that caught her eye was Yamashita Mitsuru.

LETTER

To Yamashita-kun,

Happy Valentine's Day!

I know that the second generation members have only recently been announced, but your catchphrase caught my attention and piqued my interest. You say that you'll be our knight in shining armor, but will you save me from this curiosity? I'm kidding~

But in all seriousness, I really do hope that we'll get to know you better soon! Out of all the newest members, I think you'll be the one I'll follow closely the most. Of course, I'm not immediately saying you're my favourite member when I've just gotten to know you and I already have other favourites in BYS, but I'm excited to see you try and take that spot from them.

I'm also excited to watch your journey unfold and to see what you have in store for us. I hope these chocolates will encourage you to do your best! You're a member of BYS42 now! We're cheering for you!

Akane is an office lady who in the past frequented Naginata’s cafe until he became a member of BYS42.

LETTER

To Naginata-kun,

Happy Valentine's Day.

I’m not so sure if you remember me, but I used to frequent the cafe you worked at and I really loved your coffee. I've tried multiple times to mimic the taste of the coffee you always make but to no avail. You could say this is a given, but your brew will always be far more superior than any I try to make.

Only recently when they announced that BYS will be having some sort of a Valentine's Day event did I see that you have become a member of BYS42 and though this is quite late, I would like to congratulate you on that and also to thank you for the many times you've made me a delicious cup of coffee with these chocolates.

I always enjoyed my early morning routine of visiting the cafe and purchasing a nice warm cup of coffee because you were there to make such lovely brews and to strike a conversation with me every now and then.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you. Whether it be as an idol or as a barista once more, I wish you all the best and good luck.

Yori is the type of girl that tends to ramble whenever she's feeling nervous or under a lot of pressure, and sadly it reflects in her letter. Despite that, she is an earnest and loyal high school girl who simply hopes that her love for Matsumoto is successfully sent through her words.

LETTER

To Matsumoto-kun,

Akira-kun, Happy Valentine's Day!!

Honestly, I'm feeling really shy and embarrassed knowing you'll be reading this letter one day >//< My mind is so full of words and sentences I want to say but the thought that you'll be seeing this is making my hand go speechless me unable to know what to write down and what to keep in my mind. Because this opportunity might not come again, instead of not writing this letter, I think I'm just going to say whatever is on my mind and just hope that you'll understand. I'm sorry. Hi. My name is Yori and I am currently a second year student in high school. I've liked you ever since I came to know of BYS4 and one of the things I really respect about you is how you're a perfectionist and how neat you seem to be. As you can tell, those are qualities I don't really have and I greatly admire you for having them. I hope my handwriting isn't too messy and that it's readable enough, please let it be legible. I also like how determined and confident you are. I'm more of the type that follows where the wind or the waves take me so I have great admiration for people like you who can go head first onto a straight path. I think this is getting too long, though I don't think they said there was a word limit. Is there a word limit? I don't know but I'll force myself to stop here. I'm so sorry that you have to read all this. In short, I really like and admire you. I hope that you will continue to do your best, and please know that I will always be here supporting you.

Haruka is an upbeat and energetic high school girl who somehow was always knowledgeable when it came to what was currently in or popular. Naturally, she was familiar with BYS42 and though she already had an ichiban within the group, she still had some favourites and one of them was Komiyama Akihiro.

LETTER

込山くんへ、

Happy Valentine's Day, Hiro-kun!!

Because it's you, I want to be honest: I have also sent another member something and I even splurged on the special package for him. But because I like Hiro-kun too, I knew I couldn't not send you anything! It's just a small token of my appreciation for your hard work and effort, but I hope it'll make you smile!

Speaking of smiling, I really like your smile. Though I guess I really like almost everything about you~ I've noticed that you've been getting more popular and you've been attracting more fans lately, and I can't help but feel happy knowing that! I think you deserve every last bit of affection and attention aimed at you, and I wish that more and more people will come to know of how amazing you are!

Good luck, Hiro-kun! We love you~

Yukiki! Happy Valentine's Day~!!

How are you doing? I hope you're well and happy! I also hope that you're not celebrating this day with a girlfriend www

I still remember the moment I first saw you. I was immediately attracted to your bountiful energy and I really love your smile! Of course, I also love everything about you! You’re for sure one of my most favourite members in BYS!

I know this isn't much and that you've probably received so many chocolates and letters, but I hope that this made you smile nevertheless and that you continue to smile now until forever! Please do your best! I will continue to support you!

Haruka is an upbeat and energetic high school girl who somehow was always knowledgeable when it came to what was currently in or popular. She had always been a fan of boy bands and as a result of that, she was decently knowledgeable in that area. Despite that, she hadn't known many idols like Sato and as a result, her interest in the male increased.

LETTER

To Sato-kun,

Omi-kun~ Happy Valentine's Day!!

At first I felt a little embarrassed sending you this but I was afraid that the opportunity wouldn't come again and so, here it is! I know it's not much but don't worry, I'll save up money and get you a bigger package in the future! Wait for it, ne?

I remember my first impression of you was that you seemed very cold and aloof, but after getting to know you better through BYS' show, I was surprised to find out how you could actually be the opposite at times and I love the contrast! I'm sure there are also other fans who feel the same way!

The thought that you'll be reading and even touching this letter is making me blush u//w//u I'm scared that if I continue on I'll start not making sense so I'll end off here! Ganbare! We're cheering on you!
