NOTE: This series of posts is 100% related to idols. It thoroughly explains why I like AKB and Idols, and also about the greatest experience of my life, a dream I had last night about being an idol.

Part 1 of 4 (5000 Character limit on each post on the jay)

I had a dream last night where I was an idol. It was the most blissful experience of my entire pathetic existence. I can't think of anything near as good as that dream. Not even through a nostalgic lens does anything come close to my dream last night. There are four great events I think of as the greatest experiences of my life. This dream truly eclipsed them. I think of me being six years old and playing Super Mario RPG for the first time. I bought Mario RPG on my 6th birthday. I had been saving money, and also received some money for my birthday. It was the first real thing I ever bought. I'm sure I bought candy or small toys before that, but Mario RPG was the first thing I ever really bought. I remember getting the slip at Toys R US, they used to have all of the games behind a case, and they would have slips in front of the case for each game. You would take one and give it to the cashier. I even have this vivid memory of walking down the aisle to get the Super Mario RPG slip. I think it cost something like $70 back in 1996. Crazy expensive compared to games these days. $70 in 1996 has the same buying power as $107.86 in 2016. Would you pay $107 for a video game? It was worth every dollar though. Thinking back now, that game taught me how to read. I think Super Mario RPG and Earthbound are the sole reason why I was able to do so well in Elementary school. Whereas my peers had never learned to read, I was playing Earthbound when I was 5 and Mario RPG when I was 6. It gave me a false sense of superiority, and whereas I exceeded in Elementary School, and was still top of the class in Middle School also, everyone had caught up in High School and my whole existence came crashing down. I was never intelligent. I just learned to read faster than my classmates. I'm of below average intelligence really. I learned that very quickly in High School. That combined with being addicted to World of Warcraft really ruined my life. Such a pathetic excuse.

Anyway, I usually think of this pure nostalgic experience of me playing Super Mario RPG on Sunday Morning as a 6 year old and fighting Croco and Mack, and then going through the sewer. How pathetic. That is is my greatest life experience? The other three are just as pathetic. When I saw the first Pokemon Movie for the first time. The line was wrapped all the way around the exterior of the movie theater. Does that sort of thing still happen for movies these days? I don't go to the movie theater ever. The last movie I saw in a theatre was 127 hours, and it was during a weekday at like 2PM and there were about 4 other people there. I don't know why I even wanted to see 127 hours, I think its because I really liked some of the directors other movies. Anyway, back to Pokemon: The First Movie. I went with this rich kid from my class's family. His parents were doctors or something. I moved after 4th grade so I never learned what happened to all of those people. We ate at burger king, and I got this fake golden pikachu coin from the kids meal. We sat in the front row, I had to tilt my head back to watch properly, sitting in the front row was not a good idea. I never made a single friend after I moved at the end of 4th grade. Not through my entire schooling, or any of the wage slave jobs I've worked. Do friends in Final Fantasy XI or World of Warcraft count?

So after extensive research Nasagawa seems safe to oshi.

The rumor about her having a boyfriend seems completely unsubstantiated, isn't really talked about on 2ch, and probably came from some butthurt anti.

The only problem seems to be that she likes Sakura, I just don't understand how anyone could like Sakura. I can live with it I guess, especially since she didn't rate Sakura as #1 on her favorite idol list.

Anyway, I can firmly drop Neru like the fat cow she is with zero regret now.
