    I'm fine with it as long as she's safe. There's nothing wrong with being a cabaret girl or whatever her role will be in this business, as long as she's happy.

    Shida will be herself until the very end, no matter what people may think of her choices.
    Since it was one of the many reasons I liked her so much, as long as she's safe, everything is cool with me.

    This said, I feel like she's still trying to find the right path for herself. In a society so rigid as the japanese, I presume she's not the only one

    Mona appears (and sings) in a new MV by rapper t-Ace called 'Konya mo Dareka - t-Ace Loves Shida Manaka':


    if the video does not show watch the video here

    I've found an article about the collaboration from 'Natalie':
    https://natalie.mu/music/news/510648

    Apparently it's in a series of collaborations with female guests that t-Ace is currently making and she wrote the lyrics that she sings which are about the decision to pursue a new path of one's own.

    The song is kind nice, actually. Interesting that Shida is wearing a teal-colored (silk) pajama. I wonder if the similar-Keyaki color is just a coincidence or part of the message.

    The melody is nice, I'm gonna forget the MV as soon as I can, but Shida is always, unapologetically, Shida. And I'm glad for it.

    Here last part of the article translated by Google:
    "Shida is also in charge of writing the lyrics for her own singing part, and commented on her lyrics, "It's not an idol, but a song about her decision to go on her own new path." She sings of her own thoughts in her own words: "She ran out without knowing what she wanted to do", "Even if lightning strikes, I'll be by her side and I'll be the lightning rod".

    Never change :inlove:
