Today, I drew the second eye of my daruma.
July 6 will be quite a day, because so many things happened, not just for me, but also for my beloved fandom.
On July 6, 7:23am, Fantastics member Nakao Shouta left this world for his journey to paradise.
It was announced on 8 July.
LDH fam mourned.
Shouta had been diagnosed with stomach cancer in March and had to stop activities to concentrate on his treatment.
Exile also created Turn Back Time for him, with get well soon messages.
Now I can't watch the video without thinking of his passing. But I am strong. He fought a good fight. He will always be remembered.
His strength will be with LDH, with his fans, with the rest of us who believed in him.
Twitter user Pengu translated entries from Fantastics and LDH staff.

LDH fam, stay strong. Let your tears flow, but remember him. Remember his struggles, his willpower to fight to the end. Remember his strength.
Fantastics will always be 9 members.
