These two are on opposite sides of the "emotional intelligence" axis but occupy the same "shady conman" niche

Okay I might be late to this, but I am fixated on the relationship between Sakura and Kotaro in this. We don’t really know much about Kotaro except what’s happening in the series and a few bits they drop here and there. But we know he went to school with Sakura, and was friends with her, or at least knew her and cared about her as his shy teenage self. Then this girl he cares about dies suddenly and tragically. In the years after that he spends time in Hollywood to learn makeup artistry, becomes a proficient songwriter and musician in his own right, learns the ins and outs of music production, and gets this hair-brained idea to bring back a bunch of dead girls to form an idol group to help Saga.
All of the girls he chooses makes sense from a practical standpoint. Ai, Junko, Yugiri, and Lily are all skilled musicians and entertainers, the first to actually having been idols. Saki is a born leader and takes care of her crew. Tae is skilled at dealing with curses and will be instrumental in fighting the curse that plagues Saga (whenever she wakes up). Sakura is the odd one out. She has no real skills or legend behind her, just a dream. For most of the first season you’re stuck wondering why she was chosen.
Until it hits. Kotaro loved her, and it plagued him that this young upbeat girl with a dream in her heart died before she got a chance to realize that dream. He brought her back because he loved her and believed in her, and wanted more than anything to give her the chance to shine that she missed out on in life. He brought her back not because she could be useful for his plan, but because she was Sakura, his lost friend. I don’t know if that’s anything, but damn it’s making me tear up.
Anyway I’m totally normal about this show and the characters.
