Taisuke's definitely still really close with Kawai, and he's always teasing Tsuka-chan, so I think they're still friends.

I also agree about Jesse. He's so... awkward. But, he's so popular, so they have no choice. Sigh.

Will read the full report later, I'm running late, but I read the entire stage greeting and it sounds like it was a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing it, as always <3
