Jason's long-winded answer about Rob is a really wonderful moment. And it's also very interesting, given the way the two of them very much didn't get along back in the day. (I think it's in For the Record where Rob talks about how much he enjoyed winding up Jay back in the day. And that Jay would always take the bait.) It's really kind of nice that now, as adults, they can appreciate each other.
I hadn't noticed how shattered Mark looks at the start of the Copenhagen footage, but you're right, he does. And more than usual. I've noticed in general that lately when he's not "on", not performing whether for an audience or an interviewer, Mark's posture is really turned in on itself, with his shoulders hunched in. (This is really noticeable in parts of LBDS, especially in the studio bits.) What I most adore about him here, though, is how he charges the press to look after the X Factor winners, and stands up to Robbie's flippant "Unless they're shit" response.
I did get some more writing done, mostly futzing with Rob's POV. (In the two stories I've written, it's always Rob's POV that I find the hardest to get.) I've just got one scene, from Jason's POV left to go, but I'm going to have to do a bit of research to pull it off.
That Japanese interview is...nutty! There is no other word for it. Howard is clearly having a grand time waving at fans. And they do just take it all with remarkable good grace.
