Aqua-kun… thank you. Thank you for protecting the Earth. And for looking after Shintaro-kun, too. No, that’s not all. It’s because Aqua-kun existed that Shintaro-kun and I were able to meet. I’m a little jealous, I won’t lie, but thank you for being the first one to find him. I’m so happy I met Shintaro-kun. I’m sure all your fans, and all the girls you’ve encouraged, feel just as happy as I do. Do you realize that you’ve been saving so many people, even indirectly? That’s why… you can’t just disappear now. Not after saving so many people! So, please. Emily-chan, Mikoto-chan! Deliver my gratitude to Aqua-kun!!
102 Yuu
Aqua-oniisan! Thank you for pushing Shintaro-oniisan forward back then. Rehabilitation was tough, but I could keep going ’cause I got that same fiery spirit that Shintaro-oniisan got from you. So this time, it’s my turn! I’m passin’ the baton—the one that started with you and moved through him—back to you, Aqua-oniisan!! Hang in there! Don’t you dare lose to your own weakness!!
103 Mai
Aqua-samaーーーーー! Do you remember meーーーーー!? Actually, I was hospitalized for a pretty serious illness. But I was able to keep fightin’ without givin’ up ’cause I kept watchin’ the back of the Kenzaki you played!! Because of that, I beat my illness!! So, Aqua-sama, don’t you give up either!! It might not be much, but I’m sendin’ you my power!! Powerrrrrrrrrr!

That Aqua-sama could fall like this, no way, that’s a total lie! Stand up, Kenzaki!!!!

I’m a high school girl at Mary Girls’ School. The first time I saw the real Aqua-kun was at the joint concert between Otomezaki and Mary. I still can’t forget his singing voice and that gentle piano melody from that day. And it wasn’t just that once—you kept participating in the joint concerts every year after that. Once a year, three times in three years, and this year was supposed to be the last. We go to different schools, but let me say this as your fellow student! Aqua-kun, wake up! Let’s graduate together with everyone!!

Ever since I found you, Aqua-sama, I’ve been living for your next performance every single day!! But if you’re gone, what am I supposed to look forward to!? Just wake up like nothing happened and go cause some trouble tomorrow, too!!
108 Sakuraba Shii
Papa! While you were in space, I got cast as a regular on the morning kids’ show! I worked so hard so you’d praise me! So don’t just keep sleeping, wake up already! I mean, you’re the kind of papa who doesn’t even care about plane crashes or getting shot, so this should be easy, right? If you don’t wake up soon, Great Kaiju Yukari-gon is going to stomp all over you. Rawr!!
109 Sakuraba Nodoka
Aqua-sama, I was shocked to hear on the news that you were unconscious. I still remember the day of the summer festival, when Shii disappeared while I was paying. My heart almost stopped. Aqua-sama, thank you so much for finding Shii that day. And please, wake up. From Shii’s mother.

Aqua-kun. I run a cafe, and there’s a married couple that visits often. They used to only sit in the back seats with the partitions, but ever since Heaven’s Sword (the drama where Aqua played the character Kenzaki) started, they started sitting at the counter. When I asked the wife why, her husband blushed and said, ‘Because Kenzaki often sits at the counter when he goes to Minami Coffee.’ I was so surprised, because I’d only ever heard the wife talk. Since then, the husband started talking to me, too. Now, they talk with other customers, and the cafe is always full of laughter. Aqua-kun, thank you for changing the world into such a wonderful place. I want to keep watching over these smiles forever. That’s why, please, wake up. There’s no one else but you who can be at the center of these smiles!!

Aqua-sama! Thank you for saving the Earth for us!! But this meteorite destruction mission, Operation Heaven’s Sword, isn’t over yet. Just like a field trip, the mission isn’t finished until you come home and show your smile to the people waiting for you!! Don’t make them sad—not the eldest daughter Nee-san (Miri) who has such a strong sense of responsibility, nor the second daughter Kaede-san who pulls fate itself to her with her power, nor the third daughter Emily-oneesama who handles everything with such skill and supports you from the shadows, nor our youngest daughter Kanon-sama who has a character so cute it captivates even the gods! Please, let this wish of mine reach you, Aqua-sama!! Also, so it really was Emily-oneesama who was Hagetoru!! That explains why I got IP banned here for guessing it!!
113 Ethan
Aqua-sama… no, Aqua-oneesama!! My heart was completely shattered by the clips from the school festival and your appearance at the Fuji New Year event. It’s so painful to think about what I’d do if you didn’t wake up. And where am I supposed to take these twisted desires of mine now!? I beg you, Aqua-oneesama. Please, wake up!! From your loyal servant.
114 Anonymous Elder Sister
To Aqua-kun. I work in the nightlife industry, crossdressing to serve customers. Just days of working late and coming home exhausted the next morning. It was then that I happened to see Heaven’s Sword playing in the morning. Seeing Kenzaki, and seeing Aqua-sama who played him, saved me. Hey, Aqua-kun. All the girls in town are sad because you’re not here. So, please come back. Everyone is waiting for you.
115 ‘Berry-Berry’ P
Aqua-kun… it’s okay. I know. This is a huge prank, right!? I’ve got the sign, and I’m waiting in the next hospital room with the cameramen. Just leave it to us when the time is right!! We’ll bring out the ‘Prank Successful’ sign immediately!!

Aqua-kun, it’s Morita. Wake up before the summer special issue of It’s Okay to Laugh. And let’s go eat crab together again. Heh heh heh.

I’m a BERYL fan. BERYL is the idol group that Aqua belongs to. It’s been a long yet short time since I met you, Aqua-kun, and so much has happened. I’ve had my own real-life struggles, but every time, you saved me, Aqua-kun. That’s why I believe that someone who saved so many of us like you did, Aqua-kun, will definitely wake up! Aqua-kun, please wake up and bring everyone energy and courage again. We’re all waiting for that slightly perverted Aqua-kun! Akua!!

I’m one of the people captivated by Heaven’s Sword. Let me just say it: Heaven’s Sword is a masterpiece!! And among it all, I love the Kenzaki played by Aqua-kun the best!! Kenzaki, if you’re a hero, give it your all!! I’m sending you my power!!

Aqua-kun… no, Kenzaki! Wake up! Please, wake up! Mom was always telling you, wasn’t she? That Kenzaki is the man who saves the tears of every girl! Everyone is happy because of you, Aqua-kun. Then you have to be just as happy as us! So please wake up… no, that’s not right. Stand up, Kenzaki! Idol Shirogane Aqua is everyone’s hero, right!!

The Kenzaki we know would have already jumped up. So there’s no way you, our fellow hero Aqua-sama, can’t come back to us!!
122 Natalia Rosenthal
Aqua-kun, it’s Natalia. Do you remember when you jumped into the wedding venue to stop Kanon’s wedding? I was so surprised, thinking, ‘I can’t believe a boy would go that far for a girl…’ Aqua-kun. That Kanon is crying in her heart right now. Is it okay for you to make your beloved Kanon cry? Of course it’s not. Now, wake up for the sake of the one you love!! Emily-san, Mikoto-chan, please deliver these feelings! Akua!!
123 Victoria Stars Goshenite
Excuse me! What exactly do you think you’re doing, making my sister cry? You were the one who looked me in the eye and said, ‘I only make Kanon cry in bed.’ What was all that about? I despise men who can’t keep their promises.
…You said you’d definitely come back the last time we slept in the same bed, didn’t you.
You better keep your promise to me!
Mikoto, and Emily! You better make sure my feelings reach that guy!
125 Hermie Stars Goshenite
Papa, First-nee-sama says all that, but she was crying all by herself in her room again last night. Between the second Elder Sister and me, us sisters are always just acting tough. So please, come home soon…. Haru is so lonely too.
126 Furia Stars Goshenite
Hey!! You’re making my daughters sad, aren’t you!! You, you said you’d make all three of us happy, didn’t you!? Then take responsibility until the very end!
I actually hate you, but for the sake of my daughters, I’ll pray for you. So, hurry up and come back!!
127 Anonymous Stars Citizen
I’m a Stars citizen who drops by here from time to time. I was studying abroad in Japan, but I’ve finally left to return to Stars this summer break. The reason I could keep trying in this country so far from Stars is, without a doubt, thanks to Aqua-sama. My parents and friends back there say that the Stars Aqua-sama broke down has become an easier country to live in than before. Even so, it’s not right that the Aqua-sama who changed Stars and even saved the world is in this state.
So, please, definitely wake up! Hagetoru, Saba-chan, get these feelings to Aqua-sama! I’m counting on you!! Also, everyone on this Bulletin Board who’s been so kind, thanks!!

Aqua-sama!! I’m the girl from the Aichi cutter-ball team who played against you that time! This is my first time posting on the Bulletin Board, but I wrote this in hopes that it would help even a little! Ever since then, I’ve been practicing the split-finger fastball!! Imagining the day we can face each other again. Next time, I’ll strike you out perfectly! I’m waiting for the day I can see you looking healthy again!!

Watching Aqua-kun’s straightforward way of living made me think I should be kinder to women. I hate to say it myself, but thanks to that, I think I’ve changed a bit. Also, I proposed to the girl at the clerical office who’s been taking care of me, and we’re getting married. I think this is also thanks to seeing Aqua-kun and becoming more honest with myself. You know, out of my whole life, I’m the happiest and having the most fun right now, thanks to Aqua-kun. That’s why, right now, it’s so painful that Aqua-kun is still asleep. So please, take these feelings of mine. Wake up, Aqua-kun!!

Aqua-kun, you were the one who saved me when I was struggling with depression every day and didn’t know what to do!! Ever since I learned about Aqua-kun through the Maniac Biscuits commercial, the world I see has completely changed. Thank you for breathing life into my life, which until then I had been living as if I were dead. I hope all these happy memories you gave me will somehow help you, Aqua-kun!! Aqua-kun, wake up, and show everyone that smile again!!

We, the Bulletin Board crowd, are all grateful to Aqua-sama. Why, the number of times I’ve fantasized about Aqua-sama in bed and ruined my underwear is beyond counting! But now, even those pervy girls aren’t wetting their underwear, but their pillows, waiting for Aqua-sama. So, wake up! Aqua-sama!!

Aqua-san, wake up!! Because we still need you, Aqua-san. Besides, we’ve only co-starred in movies twice!! Let’s do so much more together! To my dearest Aqua-san! I hope my message reaches you!!
136 Akami Hajime
Aqua-senpai! Don’t give up!! Because you said it yourself, right? That in times like this, what you need is spirit and power! Look, back when we were recording Zandum (a mecha anime Aqua appeared in) and I asked, “Why do the homing lasers curve?” you said, “It’s because of pure power, Hajime. Listen, in this world, it’s all about power and spirit. Even if a laser isn’t supposed to curve, you force it with your spirit!” You said that, didn’t you!! So I’m passing my spirit on to you, Aqua-senpai!!

Aqua-sama, all Zandum fans know. Zandum’s self-destruct = absolute immortality!! So, believing that Aqua-sama will definitely return, I’m posting this here too!!

I’m the basketball team member from Otomezaki who played against Aqua-kun during the Cultural Festival! Actually, I was so frustrated that I lost to Aqua-kun that I’ve been working insanely hard since then. But thanks to that, I’m now a designated elite athlete, attending university while playing for a pro team! Thank you, Aqua-kun! Let’s play again sometime. Of course, I won’t lose next time!!

It’s Inoue Iku from Classmates! Fight, Aqua-kun! Actually, we’re about to borrow a Mikoto-chan doll, and we 1A students are going to sing “Shikiori (Season by Season)” to reach you, Aqua-kun. Take our feelings along with the ones from the Bulletin Board!!

Aqua-kun, it’s Satou from the log!! I’m on standby to execute the Plan G “Log Strategy” in case you don’t wake up. Aqua-kun is really sturdy, so I don’t think you’ll be in any trouble if you get hit by a log. So, if the worst comes to worst, I’ll bash your head with a log to forcefully make you remember, so don’t worry!!

Aqua-kun, thanks to you, I’ve been able to go outside. I’m working part-time at a cake shop now, and every day is fulfilling. Someday, I want Aqua-kun to eat a cake I made. I face my cakes every day for that reason. Aqua-kun…. I won’t give up. So, you don’t give up either. The Aqua-kun we know isn’t the kind of guy who’d just be sleeping in a place like that!

I’m an employee at a certain pharmaceutical factory…. Orders dropped off all at once, and the production line has completely stopped. If things stay like this, to save on costs, the illustrations of the two of you used on the packaging will turn monochrome. For a while, the AquaToa stock price was approaching 100,000 yen, but it suddenly dropped… uh, wait, what’s the price now? I checked a moment ago, and it was fluctuating between 47,300 and 72,100 yen. Until Aqua-kun recovers, we’ll endure by ramping up production of the suddenly popular EmiKanon and KanoEmiri, so please, wake up before then!! Please!!

Aqua-sama, there is something I must apologize for. For a long time, I used my girlfriend’s account to troll the women’s bulletin boards just to vent my frustration. I’d like to take this moment to apologize. I am sorry. The reason I was able to change was that I discovered you here by chance, and I decided to stop doing such terrible things. I learned that supporting girls like you do, Aqua-sama, actually makes me feel better than venting that way ever did. Thanks to the courage I got from my idol, Aqua-sama, I married that girl, and we have a child now. My next dream is to attend a BERYL concert as a family of three. So, I’m going to work hard to make that dream come true!! Aqua-sama, please, get well!!

Hey, why are there so many ‘Church of Power’ and ‘Saint Aqua’ cultists here!? Don’t lose to them, board lurkers!! Aqua-sama! When you were first trending on this thread, I kept denying it, saying ‘No such boy could exist.’ But after a while, I regretted it. I saw the magazine cover with Toa-chan and Aqua-sama, and I was so mad at myself for not going!! Ever since that day, I stopped being a cynic. I’m a total hot-blooded fan now!

You gave a reason to live to someone who was just drifting through life. You gave a depressed, downtrodden me the strength to look ahead.

I used to be an idol myself, and now I’m a housewife,” the woman stated. “When I first saw Aqua-kun, I was truly surprised. I thought, A male idol? They’re probably just relying on their looks. But I was wrong—your singing and dancing were extraordinary from the very start. I knew immediately that you were the real deal. If it’s you, I believe you can change the very nature of what an idol is. So please, live—show us, all of us in the industry, what lies beyond the horizon of being an idol!!

I discovered Aqua-kun when I was on the brink of clinical depression from overwork and had just quit my job. But thanks to your success, the ‘black companies’ of this world have vanished!! Because of that, I’ve been able to work at a new company with a healthy mind. Thank you, Aqua-kun. Aqua-kun, show everyone you’re doing well!

To Aqua-sama, who cleared the black companies from this world! Being able to go home on time, having more days off, shorter work hours—everything is because of you, Aqua-sama. Please, let me send my gratitude to you!!

Hey, Aqua… do you remember? I’ve never forgotten the day you knocked on my bedroom door. I had always wanted to go outside, but I was too scared to leave. But, I wonder why it was… drawn naturally by your voice, I stepped out into the world. You’re such a cheater, Aqua. You blew away years of my inner conflict so easily. But that’s exactly why I think I managed to walk out that day.
So, this time, I’m going to be the one to knock on the door of the memories where you’ve locked yourself away. And then, I’m going to reach out my hand to you. Come on, let’s go outside. Aqua… the place where you’re wandering right now is far too small for you. Here, take my hand and let’s go together! To the edges of the universe, to a world no one has ever seen—this time, I’ll be the one to take you there!!
