I have to tell you, when I first got into D=OUT and I started looking for pictures on Tumblr, I kept coming across images of Ryoga and Kouki together, and I found out that apparently, they're very good friends/extremely flirty with one another in public. Right then, I knew that if Kouki was coming into this series - and that was a given - Ryoga was coming with him. I'd kindasorta developed the idea for the reality show awhile ago, and once I had those two, the rest of it fell into place.

And Manabu is a part of PSC Productions (though I haven't really used him yet), so it's possible Kouki will be paired with him in a video. The best thing about this series is it's anything-goes pairing-wise, since you have your romantic couples, but the very nature of what they do means they're open to fun with other people.

LOL - ViViD is the only current PSC band I've never been a fan of (well, other than the two new ones, which I'm not familiar with yet), and I needed someone to be "sacrificed" to a competitor in the next-to-last round, so Shin was a natural. Glad you enjoyed that aspect of the fic!
