:Jin and Akiomi are close friends who work at Yumenosaki Private Academy, sharing an extensive history that dates back to their time as students at the academy. Akiomi, formerly a model and a big fan of Jin, decided to pursue a career as an idol after being inspired by him. He aspired to be loved by others as much as he loved himself and sought to be recognized for his talent rather than just his looks.PORTRAIT
:During their student days, Jin and Akiomi formed a kind of friendship. Jin saw himself as a responsible senior and would offer wisdom to Akiomi whenever asked, resulting in a dynamic reminiscent of a Manzai comedy duo. Akiomi idolized Jin and even knew his schedule by heart.Rainbow - Prologue He took it upon himself to remind Jin of his idol duties and would scold him if he caught him smoking. Although Jin initially found Akiomi's nagging annoying, he eventually grew fond of him and often turned to him with his complaints.Liar's Idol - 1 Jin cherishes the memories of their time together, considering it a rare period in which he could be carefree and act like a kid. Liar's Idol - 4
:However, Akiomi's ambition to be recognized as a talented idol led him to practice extensively after school. This caused him to sleep in capsule hotels and neglect his physical well-being. Liar’s Idol - 2. Jin, concerned about Akiomi's health, devised a plan to scare him away from the school by disguising himself as a vengeful female ghost. Unfortunately, the plan backfired when Akiomi fell in love with the ghost and expressed a desire to see her again. Test of Courage - Epilogue Unbeknownst to Akiomi, Jin continued to visit him in disguise to provide support, companionship, and even collaborate on songwriting.
:As Akiomi focused more on his idol career and distanced himself from modeling, the higher-ups in the modeling industry sought to sabotage his chances of success in the idol industry. They spread backhanded or slanderous articles about him, magnifying minor faults and fabricating rumors.Rainbow - Revival 20Liar’s Idol 3 One such false rumor suggested Akiomi had an affair with a famous actress. Recognizing the potential harm this could cause, Jin took it upon himself to address the rumors. He publicly revealed that the person Akiomi had been meeting late at night was actually him, a crossdressing idiot. By turning the situation into a humorous anecdote, Jin protected Akiomi's reputation and turned him into his partner and comedic foil. Liar’s Idol - 5
:Akiomi did not react well to this revelation. He faced teasing and felt immense shame for spending his first year yearning for a fictional girl. In a moment of despair, he contemplated jumping off the school roof, a place that held significant memories for him and Jin. Although he didn't follow through with it, Akiomi started to resent Jin, feeling overshadowed by his friend. Jin, however, saw it as his responsibility to protect Akiomi from further rumors, even if it took Akiomi a while to appreciate it. Despite the negative experience, Akiomi felt nostalgic about his time with “Her”, celebrating the anniversary of their meeting and playing the songs they wrote together 15 years later. 
:As idols, Akiomi grew resentful of being seen as Jin's successor and constantly compared to him.Lullaby - A Gentle Nightmare 3 The industry and media treated him as Jin's shadow, which resulted in Akiomi acting cold towards Jin and rejecting the nickname "Akiyan" for the first time. Despite this, Jin remained unfazed by Akiomi's cold treatment and continued to support him behind the scenes, using his influence to protect him from the media. This further solidified Akiomi's position as Jin's partner and successor.
:Currently, Jin and Akiomi work together as colleagues and often go out for drinks to vent about their work-related grievances. However, their closeness wasn't immediate after Akiomi was hired just around the war era. During that time, Akiomi didn't connect with Jin and instead confided in Izumi about his frustrations and loneliness at Yumenosaki.Checkmate - Killer’s Anthem 4 The reason for their delayed reconnection remains unknown. Despite occasional bickering, making jabs at each other relating to the others' past faliures, the two care deeply for one another as seen time and time again during Rainbow.
