A quite pathetic letter to Kokoro
Dear Kokoro,
When I first got into Bandori, I didn't really notice you because I thought you were really similar to Kasumi: eccentric, fun-loving, the "baka" leader of the group that had no idea what she was really doing etc. etc. etc.
Reading HaroHapi's band story made me realise that you shared a lot of traits with Kasumi, including the fact that I found you both so annoying, but, unlike her, you were rich, which stood out a bit to me. "I hate luxury, but I still feel like I hate Kasumi more." I told myself at that time. Because of that, I stopped caring about you... for a really long time.
...until recently, when I thought about why you were so annoying, so fuzzy and dense, and yet so filled with energy. Because you had an inspiration and a goal to work for.
Your inspiration is something as simple as a smile. Something that most people wouldn't really bother about because of how is our society nowadays: be serious or you'll be in danger.
You don't care about social standards as a whole; your only one would be genuine happiness. As hard as it sound, you always smile, and a simple smile can a change so many things in the thoughts of the person that looks at you.
You don't let yourself be narrowed by anything and yet you're able to work towards a specific goal: to bring happiness. Even Misaki and Kanon, which weren't very into HaroHapi, changed thanks to your boldness and courage to fight everything.
That goal is to bring a smile on people's faces, more exactly on every single person of the world through a marching-band-like band with a childish theme, five idiots (two of them with more sanity, one of them being stuck in a bear) and instruments brought out of nowhere.
You live in a world of childish, ridiculous dreams because of your richness not only in yen, but also in ideas. You are abstract and extremely spontaneous, but work for a common good, even with your self-centric apperances. You hate your own loneliness, but also seeing someone lonely or sad.
The details don't matter to you, and you're lucky with Misaki and HaroHapi by your side, even if you didn't know nor care about who you picked as your friends.
You convinced me that I can also be inspired by something in this uninteresting life and that I should be proud of showing off my smile, because everyone's smile is beautiful.
Thank you Kokoro
for always being bright and cheerful no matter what and for proving that everyone in the world truly has a hidden hero.
With love and honesty, a typical lovemailing account,
