One of them, Mana, who was just as famous as herself and shared a little secret with Shoko.

One of them was a lead singer invited by Xiangzi, or rather, pre-selected.

These people all seem to possess extraordinary skills.

"Are they all here to be lead singers?"

Xiangzi looked at the three people cautiously and asked, his tone uncertain as if the three people in front of him were fake.

He even grabbed Hailing with one hand. Xiao Mu also saw Xiangzi's hand and silently stood behind Hailing, pushing her to the front to prevent her from running away.

Thanks to Xiao Mu's help, Xiangzi easily pulled Hailing, who was keeping her head down and not saying a word, over, and then held up his hands as if he were holding the three of them in his hands for Hailing to see.

"Hailin, see? I told you, someone super talented would definitely be chosen as our lead singer! Right, right!"

"Gulp! Hmm, yes, yes." Hailing lowered her head and bit her chin.

The slight upturn of Wakaba Mutsu's eyes behind her was caught by Hai Ling, who was avoiding Shoko's gaze.

“Even if you don’t leave the team, people will still come,” said Wakaba Mutsu.

"You were first."

"Ok?"

"Forget it!" Hai Ling shut her mouth. It was clearly your idea that she had considered for so long and thought it was indeed feasible. When she joined the team, the lead singer who stayed would definitely be able to sing the songs with emotion. In other words, she couldn't leave Xiangzi and wouldn't be able to do anything about her arrival.

The worst thing is if someone is a bassist/lead singer and brings a bassist into the band.

However, before he could do anything, Xiangzi caught him and pushed him back down.

They rushed out and stuff even though I just sent the message.

The action was too fast, the reaction was too strong.

From seeing the news to rushing out.

And now the lead singer is here.

Two of the members were from SUMIMI, and the other one, whom I also knew, was the former lead singer of Diamond Star.

Everyone possesses unique skills, so what I'm doing is exactly that.

"Let Xiang wrestle."

"Feel sorry."

"call!"

Little Cucumber poked Hailing's back as punishment.

In a place unknown to Xiangzi.

Xiangzi looked at the three people in front of him. Now, the problem wasn't finding a lead singer, but rather, what to do next.

What to do if there are too many lead singers?

Xiangzi looked up at Hailing.

"Could you please explain why you want to join us?"

Hailing's gaze first fell on the two members of the SUMIMI team.

I can understand why Momoka wants to find a new band after she's lost hers.

And it was Xiangzi who found him.

But the two next door aren't unwanted; on the contrary, they're among the most popular groups right now. It's absurd that they'd want to be packaged together and join MUJICA.

Hailing is indeed a very good conversationalist.

One sentence silenced the room instantly.

Tao Xiang leaned against the table, watching the two young idols over there.

That's really amazing.

It was one thing for the two of them to join a small band, but when they arrived, I overheard someone talking to Xiangzi about it.

"Don't tell Chu Hua."

"Our little secret."

Then think about the recent hot news online about discord within idol groups.

Oh wow, there's some juicy gossip to come.

The two, who were being watched by everyone, glanced at each other, and Mana sighed and spoke first.

"Because, it's a little annoying, but also very enjoyable."

"Huh?" Tao Xiang asked, puzzled on Hai Ling's behalf.

What does it mean to feel both good and bad?

Mana nodded, confirming that she hadn't said anything wrong.

Is SUMIMI popular?

"Of course it'll be a hit!"

"Although it's not my place to say this, I think everyone would agree that if SUMIMI received more resources, it's possible that she could perform at the Budokan and fill it to capacity."

Whether it's a band, an idol, or an individual, as long as they're involved in music and the path of idols, their ultimate goal is to perform at the Budokan and have a show with every seat filled.

Those who can achieve this goal are basically the top figures in the industry.

SUMIMI is currently very popular and has received a lot of support. With hard work, she has a good chance of getting into the Budokan.

However, SUMIMI, who is currently very popular, has not continued to release songs or travel to various places to attract fans. Instead, she has launched a large number of merchandise items and taken on a lot of advertisements. What is maintaining her fans is the recent news of discord and Mana's new group activities.

“SUMIMI has no discord and will not disband,” Mana said.

"At least, that's how I feel."

“Mana is my friend, and I think so too!” Chu Hua quickly added, but her eyes secretly glanced at Xiangzi.

As long as they don't compete with me for Xiangzi's affections, that's fine.

"Thank you! Hatsu!" Mana looked at Hatsuka with relief and subconsciously wanted to touch her hand.

However, Chu Hua didn't see the moment he touched Xiangzi's hand, when he subconsciously looked at him.

“All resources are clearly priced, at least for the firm,” Mana continued.

“Training SUMIMI cost 100 in resources, and now we’ve earned 1,000.”

"Now, if we want to go to a martial arts gym, we have to spend more than a thousand dollars to earn two thousand dollars, and there's no guarantee of success."

"It would be better to continue cultivating new idols, constantly replicating successful results, and after gaining the popularity of SUMIMI, to earn a thousand with a cost of fifty."

"Like now, they're saying we don't get along, and they're driving traffic to my group with other people."

Mana sighed.

"It's been a long time since I've met with my fans and sung with them."

What is an idol?

The idols that you admire and who can inspire others are, in reality, just tools for making money for capital and others.

Such a thing.

Even Mana, experiencing this result time and time again, ultimately felt upset and dissatisfied.

"The new idol girl I'm paired with is amazing, but I just don't get along with her."

Mana sighed sadly as she thought of that idol who was almost perfect in every way.

"Perhaps it was because of what she said when she comforted me."

"The so-called idol is someone who consumes the money and souls of fans, climbs step by step to become the ultimate idol, and then transcends the idol identity to become the person behind the idol, earning more money and enjoying a freer life."

“I understand that my income and my reputation are all due to the love of my fans. However, I don’t think idols are cold and indifferent. They should be projected by the emotions of the fans and carry the expectations of everyone.”

"When I said it, she said to me, 'Wow, that's amazing. Even in front of your colleagues, you can still say such things with a smile on your face. There's definitely a reason why you're being promoted as an idol. Keep it up. If one day I can help you rise to the top, I will show no mercy.'"

Mana lowered her head, thinking about those words.

Looking at the false, perfect idol created by the other party, and the fans who placed their expectations and emotions on it.

I'm still the one helping her.

. . . . . .

I'm so annoyed, extremely annoyed, but if I don't help or do it, I'll have to pay the breach of contract fee and ruin my idol career.

I can't even restart the SUMIMI campaign.

“That day, I couldn’t take it anymore and wanted to find Xiangzi to comfort me.” As Mana spoke, she was so engrossed in her story that she didn’t see the sharp look in Hatsuka’s eyes as she listened to her subconscious urge to find Xiangzi.

Xiangzi did see it.

just.

So, Hatsuka cares about Mana that much?

She even got jealous.

"Being in the audience, listening to your songs, and seeing how everyone was so captivated by you reminded me of my idol."

"Xiangzi, your songs have absolutely nothing to do with idols. They don't sound like cute, righteous, kind, KRKR idol groups. But after listening to them, I feel physically happy, mentally relaxed, and I feel great venting my bad emotions in the world you've created. It's so refreshing and makes me very happy."

"Not only that, after listening to it, I wanted to join in. Although I understand that idols shouldn't have such thoughts, I also wanted to tease everyone's desires and have a kind of pleasure in playing with something."

Although I understand that idols shouldn't have such thoughts.

However, Mana is human, and humans have desires.

It's human nature to want someone to be attracted to you; you crave attention.

However, for Mana...

Like a doll, she is manipulated by the agency and used by other idols.

He repeatedly used the idol image of KRKR to suppress his dark thoughts.

Those who want their agencies to explode, to die, fake idols, those who want to shout and warn everyone to stay away, saying that this idol is actually the one on the second floor saying that otaku are disgusting.

Suppressing emotions for too long without releasing them.

People can go astray.

Just like people, they always have moments of deviance from the norm.

Students taking the college entrance exam also saw advertisements before the exam offering free internet access to internet cafes with their exam admission tickets. They smiled and thought about it.

He even thought about burning down the school more than once.

Those reckless, foolish, and dark desires will never disappear.

It was just suppressed.

Ultimately, it needs to be released.

Perhaps there's nothing I can do, or perhaps I understand I shouldn't hurt others.

So, you tease others, make them fascinated by your singing, and then leave them.

It would be wonderful to make those lovely viewers feel frustrated and teased.

This is Mana's interpretation of MUJICA's songs, and also her understanding of the MUJICA band.

That's why Mana wanted to join the band.

Wearing a mask can protect you from being recognized and also allow you to release your desires.

The only one I feel sorry for is Chu Hua.

Because after joining MUJICA, I definitely won't have enough time.

In fact, it could be said that there was never enough to begin with.

Well.

"If there's already a lead singer, I won't be the lead singer anymore. I want to apply to be a backup singer because sometimes I might not be able to come, so is it okay to be a backup singer?"

Mana asked.
