Good morning! Recently I searched for random special days and I found out that today is "International Kissing Day."
When I've read about it there was only one image that cross my mind, Taka's kiss on Toru. Lol!
Taka Moriuchi and Toru Yamashita are both members of the popular Japanese band ONE OK ROCK. Taka is the vocalist while Toru is the guitarist and band's leader. The two are usually amusingly paired by fans and gave them a ship name "ToruKa".
Both are straight men but ToruKa fans would fondly pair them and give random meanings on Taka and Toru's interactions. I am not a fan of the pairing but I don't dislike it either. The memes and fan edits makes me laugh and it makes our group lively too.

PHOTO REFERENCE:
This scene happened during the performance of their song "Push Back" at their "Eye of the Storm" tour in Japan somewhere last year. Taka giving Toru a peck on the cheeks stirred all fans, with the shippers screaming in delight because their imagination is coming closer to reality.
I, myself, couldn't believe it when I first so it but later found myself laughing when I began noticing both of their reactions. I wonder if they planned doing this for the fans or was it really just Taka's spontaneity.
Here is my sketch for this art work:
And here's a song, in case you are wondering what their music is like. This song is entitled, "Wasted Nights".
