THE FIRST GAY BACHELOR? INTERVIEW WITH HINATA SHOYO!
Karasuno TV network recently announced the new bachelor for this year's season: 25 year old Hinata Shoyo. Hinata is the first gay bachelor to be featured on the show. We asked him his thoughts on the whole thing:
Hey Hinata! How's it going?
H: I'm doing great, thanks for asking! To be honest, I'm a little nervous though *laughs*.
Don't be nervous! I'm sure you'll do great!
We heard that you are going to be the bachelor this coming season. Are you excited?
Hinata: I'm pretty excited! It's kind of crazy...
I'm sure it is! Why did you audition for The Bachelor?
H: Well, if I'm being honest, it was because of my mother. She kept telling me about how she wanted me to settle down and start a family. She's a huge fan of the show, and so she told me to audition. The rest is history! *grins*
Well it seems that we have your mother to thank for you being here today! *chuckles*
H: I guess so!
Do you think you'll find your soulmate?
H: I hope so. Even if I don't, I'm confident I'll meet some amazing people and form new friendships! I don't want to set my expectations too high.
That's an excellent mindset to have. Now, last question: how do you think fans are going to like this season?
H: First off, I'm glad that Karasuno TV has become more inclusive by featuring members of the LGBTQ+ community. I'm very grateful for this opportunity. As for the fans, I think they will love this season. A lot of new concepts and themes are being introduced.
The fans will love you Hinata, I'm sure of it!
H: *smiles* I hope so.
And that's it for today! Thank you so much for your time Hinata, and good luck on your journey!
H: Thanks for having me!
In this new season, twelve male suitors will fight for Hinata's attention. Will Hinata Shoyo find love? The Bachelor season 24 premieres on June 24 on channel 10.

Hinata looked upon from the newspaper he was reading. "I'm so nervous!" he exclaimed. Suddenly, Natsu walked into the room. "You ready for your big day?" Natsu asked. "I'm not ready at all," Hinata contested honestly. He didn't know what he was doing. Why was he even here? He would have to have a talk with his mother.
"Hinata!"
"Hinata!"
Hinata snapped out of his daze and looked over at his sister, who was gazing at him expectantly.
"What?"
"I said, the stylists want to see you,"
"Ugh okay," he whined before exiting the room.
Once he made it to the stylist room, he sat down in one of the chairs with a heavy sigh. There's not even anyone here, why did they need me? I should just leave...
He was about to get up and walk out when he heard two people enter the room. "Sorry we're late!" he heard someone chirp.
A dark haired girl approached him. She had bright blue eyes and a smile on her face. "Hi there, I'm Kiyoko. I'll be your stylist throughout the season!" she said.
"It's nice to meet you Kiyoko-san, I'm Hinata," he replied. "We already know who you are," she chuckled. He looked up with a questioning look on his face.
"Everybody knows you! You're the new bachelor," she reminded. "Oh right," he sighed. "I'm not quite used to this."
"You'll get the hang of it" the other woman in the room said. Hinata looked over, confusion evident on his face.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself!" she muttered. "I'm Yachi! I'm Kiyoko-san's assistant". Yachi had short blonde hair and brown eyes. She seemed to have a lot of energy. Hinata had a feeling they would get along well.
"Hey Yachi!"
"Anyways, we're here to do your hair. After that, you'll be ready to go!" Kiyoko said.
What followed was an abnormal amount of hair gel and a lot of fussing.
"We're done!" Yachi said as she tapped him on the shoulder. Hinata looked in the mirror and almost didn't recognize himself. His hair was still a bit messy, but now it looked like he styled it like that. Hinata didn't normally use hair gel, but he might have to start using it!
"Thank you, it looks great!" he said. "Of course," the pair replied. Hinata would've sat there looking at his hair all day, if he didn't have to leave.
He got up, took one last look in the mirror. He put on the most neutral expression he could muster, and walked out of the room. He was happy he got to meet Kiyoko-san and Yachi. He felt more confident knowing that he would have someone to talk to if he ever needed advice.
Hinata continued down the hallway until he bumped into someone.
"Sorry," the man said.
"Oh hey Daichi!" Hinata said.
Daichi looked up and smiled. "Hinata! I was just looking for you!". Hinata had just met Daichi recently. He was one of the producers of the show. He coordinated everything from camerawork to special events. He worked hard, and Hinata admired him for that.
Suddenly, a gray haired man snuck up behind Daichi put his arm around his shoulder.
"Daichi!" Daichi looked up and his face immediately brightened. Hinata wasn't sure if he had ever seen Daichi look that happy. The pair whispered to each other, and then the newcomer glanced at Hinata.
"I'm so sorry, I forgot to introduce myself!" the man said. "My name's Sugawara, but you can call me Suga. I help Daichi out with some of his producer duties," he laughed, elbowing Daichi jokingly. "Suga, this is Hinata. He's the newest bachelor," Daichi gestured to Hinata.
"Oh, I've heard all about you. It's nice to meet you," Suga said. "It's nice to meet you too," Hinata replied. Hinata had a feeling Suga knew something he didn't, judging from the smirk on his face.
"Anyways," Daichi interrupted. "The limo's right out there Hinata! We'll meet you at the mansion,"
Hinata thanked him and walked out of the hallway. He glanced back and saw Daichi and Suga hugging. Suga had his hands around Daichi's waist. Well, there's definitely something going on there, Hinata thought to himself. He hoped they were dating, because they seemed to have a lot of chemistry. Hinata was jarred out of his thoughts when he heard the driver yell at him to get in the car. He hurriedly jumped into the car and closed the door behind him. The driver looked back to make sure he was there, and then started to drive.
Hinata looked out the window as they were driving to the mansion. He wasn't sure what to expect going in. He had never even seen the mansion, let alone the "suitors" he would be talking to. Hinata was only sure of one thing:
This would be a life-changing experience.
