GOMIST

The bee scene.

YES YES. I love and I know is one of the most important scenes in the series BUT I always had a feeling if they tried to do it on screen would be kind of cheesy and comical - not in a good way - and undermine Anthony's trauma.

My fear was general audiences could think: Own they are gonna get married for such dumb reason!

- Naoki is mixture between Taichi and Sora personalities. He is outgoing and impulsive but is always careful with people around him - mom of the group - what makes Yamato connect naturally with him. He likes the gender-fluid style and as Mimi is devoted to David Bowie

- Katashi is more calm and collected like Yamato though not so stubborn. In group fights the others almost forget he is in the environment - what is his goal. He is always well and repeats a lot of "cool" or "that's nice" in sentences. Prefers the grunge style much more sloppy than Yamato.

- Yamato is the soul of the band. The songs are composed and written mostly by Yamato though the rest of the band is contributing more with time. When a music is too close to home he takes as the leading vocals.

- Mimi joined the band later. They needed a backing vocal for some songs but after some month everyone agreed she should be the lead singer. Yamato felt relieved because he didn't like all the attention that came with the position what Mimi just loved.

- Mimi uses the band as a excuse to change the style and color of her hair constantly

- Katashi originally was the bass player but was really passionated about the keyboard so Mimi decided to learn to replace him. It took sometime but she proved by good at it. Yamato liked because he could add one more instrument on his compositions.

- Yamato always wanted to get some tattoos but was always afraid of things not work in music and end up hurting this career in the future. So the others decided to get the first one with him and now he is just addicted.

- Everyone in the band agrees Yamato is the most talented of all but on his opinion he just practices a lot. For him Mimi would be the best if she wasn't so lazy because she has the natural talent.

- Mimi developed a glam rock style. If depended on her all of them would dress like young Elton John on stage what gives chills on Yamato and Katashi. In order to maintain the peace she and Naoki are satisfy using some glitter and their fake fur coats.

- Yamato knows it is cliche but his major inspiration is Kurt Cobain.

- Mimi felt insecure on joining the band because she thought she was too girly for it. Until Yamato told her don't give a sh* for what other people think attitude was good enough. She was not sure was a compliment but worked for her confidence.

- The boys had to dress up nicely - for the horror of Katashi - to go to convince Mimi's parents to let her join the band . They promise always bring her to the house's door after a concert and lied about playing in nice places - in the beginning they got a lot of digs underground trash bars.

- Although the band is just starting to became more popular in mainstream they are very known and respected in underground scene in Tokyo. Usually people joke "They are too pretty to play that good".

They exchanged some words and smirked with a bit of disdain when Taichi did some nonsense. They also agreed - perhaps more than they had realized - when a heated discussion happened between the group, nonetheless there was a degree of discomfort between them—a lack of closeness.

They didn't know quite well how to explain it. At first, one might think it was due to the incompatibility of their personalities. However, some of Mimi and Yamato's best friends had an opposite nature to theirs too. Koushiro, an introvert, and Mimi, a classic extrovert, could easily open up with each other. The same applied to Yamato and Taichi, who fought a lot but could always understand one another.

No, it wasn't because of their personalities.

It might have missed to them a few moments alone to be able to develop a connection. It was usual to form more intimate sub-relationships in a large group, and sometimes one person could not often interact with another. Taichi and Joe were an example of this, and despite Koushiro and Sora having somewhat similar personalities – aka excessive protection with a certain someone – they weren't the closest either.

Mimi and Yamato's relationship, on the other hand, was more complex than an unplanned disconnection. Both actively tried to avoid each other, and they could feel a certain hostility in the air. Their one-to-one interactions often resulted in small bickerings, and a pet peeve grew as the years went by. Their friends usually laughed off, but they feared that those little fights could become real deep down. It seemed they were in the Cold War, and a bomb was about to explode.

Until Mimi and Yamato found themselves staring at each other in a random bar.

And worst than that: They're entirely alone after years.
