I saw this comment on YouTube by a Japanese fan on a MY FIRST STORY MV. But it’s so cute in Japanese to me XD

HIROに抱かれたい

HIRO ni idakaretai

(I) want to be embraced / hugged by HIRO

Let's break it down!

The base verb for 抱かれたい here is 抱く / idaku meaning embrace, hug.

To turn idaku / “hug” into a passive verb “to be hugged”, it becomes idakareru.

To say “I want to be hugged”, you turn idakareru into idakaretai / “want to be hugged”.

Why HIRO に / HIRO ni when the speaker is the one wanting to receive the hug? に is a particle meaning “to”. In Japanese, at least from what I understand anyway, when using passive verb,  it is like the “responsibility” of giving that hug that the speaker wants ....... goes “to” Hiro. That is why HIROに / HIRO ni. 

So, where is the “I” or “私 / watashi” here? You can leave it out. A native speaker can easily figure out from the context “who” is the person wishing to be hugged....... in this case, it is obviously “the speaker”. So, you can drop “I”.

I’m very weak at conjugation like how to turn a basic word into different tenses, feels and expressions. Textbooks are boring and what I read don’t stick to my mind that much. So, I like looking at entertaining examples like this (^^). I mean, “HIROに抱かれたい / HIRO ni idakaretai / I want to be hugged by HIRO” has a higher chance of sticking to my mind, I believe (*^_^*)

Hiro’s message for Sho at Tsutaya O-East SHO-TIME

Original photo: GEN’s Twitter (Kohei Suzuki). Edited by me totally on my phone.

Words: Taken, edited (words were cut out due to layout spacing reason), translated and paraphrased by me from both Natalie.mu and Tsutaya tsite.jp.

He may not call the man “onii-san" but his eyes will always tell what this man means to him.

It has always been something I would look forward to with every MY FIRST STORY on-camera interview. The way Hiro’s eyes looked at Sho. Even when Sho was not looking at him.

When Sho’s hiatus was announced, all the scenes below rushed to my mind. 

When he was looking for the words to say, the one he turned to.......

The one his hand would reach out to.........with or without anyone between them.

If you never got the chance to participate, don’t worry, I promise that I’ll start up this project again. I’m sure that there are many out there that might have great ideas for content dedicated to MY FIRST STORY and I’m hoping that this project will be the small push that one needs to post/create it.
