A super great writer in the second dimension

　Before writing the song OnlyMyRailgun, Arashi Sanzenin had been pondering a certain question.

　Should we use those anime songs from our past lives, or write our own songs based on the actual situation?

　To be honest, anime songs are generally disliked by most people in Japan, including μ's, whose songs are mostly not anime songs.

　For example, "Dancing in Kaguya Castle" is not an anime song. And LoveLive's first single, "Our ur and your R," no, I mean "Bokura no LIVE-kun to no LIFE," this positive and uplifting song was composed by Takahiro Yamada, arranged by Akira Takaten, and with lyrics by a girl named Aki Hata. This song is also not an anime song.

　Therefore, when composing music for μ's, Sanzenin Arashi hesitated whether to write it herself or copy it.

　It wasn't until Yukino Yukinoshita said those words that Sanzenin Arashi confirmed the matter.

　Overall, BOSS's song is not bad, but it's a bit too mediocre and quite tricky.

　I feel like only a segment of the population will like this song. "Only My Railgun" isn't bad, but it's too much of a rock song.

　Sanzenin Arashi narrowed her eyes, pondered for a moment, and asked, "How does this song compare to 'Secret Base'?"

　"Kira-chan's Secret Base?" Yukinoshita Haruno smiled slightly and said ruthlessly, "The two songs are too different. It doesn't feel like they were written by the same person. Secret Base is very nice to listen to. It's a lyrical style. The lyrics feel full of memories. I think there are quite a few people who like it. Moreover... it's not just young people like us. I feel that older people will also like it. It's like a failed first love. It's full of a taste that is memorable but you don't want to touch it."

　Then there's this song, Only My Railgun. The lyrics are incredibly ornate, bordering on cheesy, which is why I felt a bit uneasy—a kind of unpredictable unease. It's quite possible… I think it sounds good just because I'm young myself. Anyway, is the boss writing an anime song? If it's an anime song, it's best not to give it to Kira to sing.

　"Oh?" Sanzenin Arashi glanced over. "Can't we sing anime songs?"

　“Yes… Boss, look, Kira’s target audience is young people, right? That’s why it’s so polarized.” Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips. “In Japan, people who like to watch anime are generally young people.”

　Then children will also like watching cartoons.

　However… it's not that all young people like watching anime. Even more extreme, it's the same group of young people who hate anime and find it disgusting. This group is very extreme; it would be better for the boss to be more moderate.

　Sanzenin Arashi twirled his pen in his hand. Of course he knew about this. Young people disliked anime, while older parents held a neutral attitude towards the two-dimensional world. This economic sector was one of the important sources of revenue for Japan's finances.

　Although the animation industry is said to occupy one-fifth of the resources.

　However, many people may not have considered that Japan's tourism industry is very developed, and about one-third of these tourists come to Japan because they are into anime.

　Half of these people are true fans of anime and manga, while the other half are casual fans.

　It's not about how much merchandise, figurines, or Blu-rays the anime industry brings to Japan, but rather how it drives the entire Japanese economy.

　If Japan didn't have anime, the number of immigrants to the country would probably be much lower, and the tourism industry would suffer too. Why would an economic center like Akihabara become an anime district? These kinds of things are pretty self-explanatory.

　Even AKB48 couldn't turn Akihabara into a street full of AKB48s; the truth is obvious.

　Arashi Sanzenin clearly doesn't want to focus solely on the Japanese market; he wants to expand internationally, just like Bushimo.

　Bushimo might face various restrictions when operating overseas, such as additional taxes, but Sanzenin Arashi wouldn't. In fact, they might even be exempt from taxes, such as not charging money in the first year of operation.

　Britain is his stronghold, so it's normal for him to do business there... but the musicality of this aspect cannot be ignored.

　"You make a good point. This song is certainly good as an anime theme song, but it's unlikely to appeal to the average person."

　"Boss, do you have any other plans?" Yukinoshita asked.

　“You really understand what I mean.” Sanzenin Arashi took out another piece of paper.

　"This song is one I'm going to give to Kira Tsubasa, but she can only sing it half a month after her secret base is released." Sanzenin Arashi rubbed her fingers together and hummed a tune.

　Yukino felt a sudden light in her eyes.

　The tune was catchy and made her want to sing along.

　“I’ll sing this song, Tomorrow, a cappella.” Sanzenin Arashi picked up the microphone.

　A seemingly positive and uplifting tune rang out from his lips.

　Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita frowned immediately.

　"Such strong lyrics," Yukino Yukinoshita exclaimed.

　With a smile, Sanzenin Arashi continued singing; this song is one of the most iconic songs in the Japanese music scene.

　In Japan, a single that sells over 100 million copies is called a "divine song".

　Okamoto Maya, a superstar who rose to fame in the 90s, had her first single, Tomorrow. She even participated in the Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Song Battle) with this song, and Tomorrow was even used as the opening theme for Koshien (Koshien Stadium). All of this is enough to show that the song is loved by the public.

　To put it simply, Tomorrow sold two million copies, a feat that still hangs on the Japanese sales charts. In the fantasy genre, that's what you call legendary!

　After that, many people covered this song, and Sanzenin Arashi only learned about Tomorrow thanks to a certain voice actor.

　Saori Hayami, a voice actress who specializes in voicing younger sister characters, covered Tomorrow, and it was a very good song, which is how Arashi Sanzenin learned about it.

　There is no such person as Okamoto Maya in this world, so Tomorrow was not sung. Now he is going to give this song to Kira Tsubasa.

　“Boss…excuse my bluntness, but we shouldn’t be so nice to Kira-chan.” Yukinoshita Haruno narrowed her eyes. “This song should be left to someone else. Boss, you’ve already written a song for Kira-chan, so the second one should be given to someone else.”

　The boss is spoiling her too much; she'll suffer a terrible fall from grace.

　Furthermore... I don't think the BOSS should have done that.

　..

338. You can't be too soft-hearted with women.

　"Oh?" Sanzenin Arashi narrowed her eyes.

　Yang Nai had her reasons for saying that.

　"Kira is still a girl, no matter what. If you treat her like this, she might misunderstand something." Yukino Yukinoshita pouted. "She'll get carried away. Even if this song is to be given to her, it should be the third or fourth song, not the second one."

　"Do you think the second song should be written by someone else?" Sanzenin Arashi asked.

　“Let her write it herself.” Yukino Yukinoshita said decisively, “Secret Base is undoubtedly a very good song. I guarantee it with my own aesthetic sense. At this point, it’s time for Ms. Kira to realize the difference herself.”

　We must combine kindness and severity.

　Let her write her own songs. I'm not trying to belittle her, but she doesn't have much talent in that area. Instead of praising her too much, it's better to let her experience the presence of the boss.

　I can guarantee that if she were to write the second song herself, she would proactively talk to the boss a week after its release.

　“That’s good, let’s do it this way.” Sanzenin Arashi put away the lyrics, thought for a moment, and then handed the lyrics for Tomorrow to Yukinoshita.

　"Boss?"

　“When you think the time is right, give this song to her yourself,” said Sanzenin Arashi. “I’ll leave the decision of when to do that to you. I hope I haven’t made the wrong choice.”

　"I understand, I will keep this in mind."

　……

　Kira Tsubasa has good singing talent, just like Li Yundi. He specializes in the performance area, and Kira Tsubasa is similar. She may not have any good songs of her own, and her composition is really weak, but I really like the songs that Sanzenin Arashi sings.

　That's why the ending theme for "Secret Base" was given to her, and the song "Tomorrow" was also written for her. It was purely because Arashi Sanzenin wanted her to perform these amazing songs that had never appeared in the Japanese music scene before.

　Yukinoshita Haruno displays a palace intrigue-like scheming, which Sanzenin Arashi doesn't dislike. She believes in cherishing what she has and is trying to convey that although Yukinoshita Haruno is cunning and manipulative towards others, she is straightforward with herself and exudes goddess-like aura in public. It would be difficult for anyone to even touch her.

　However, at home she likes to cling to you, which is what is called being flirtatious only to you. Even when she acts coquettishly, she won't make excessive demands. These days, even black fungus turns black very quickly. Sanzenin Arashi is looking forward to seeing how Kira Tsubasa will change.

　What will become of this girl when he stops offering much help? Will she willingly sleep with him, or will she strive to become stronger?

　This anticipation process is like a glass of wine that has been opened and becomes more fragrant the longer it sits.

　Today, apart from Yukino Yukinoshita, there wasn't a single person in the NNV studio. Everyone had gone to host the Fate/Stay Night sales event. The NNV studio is no longer the rookie group it once was; they've given birth to AngelBetas!! This masterpiece has made NNV incredibly popular in the entire visual novel community; it's a rising star.

　The release of Fate/Stay Night is not a simple matter of mass distribution. Instead, several thousand limited editions were prepared and promoted before production was completed. Today, these limited editions will be signed and sold at the Akihabara GAL convention.

　As for whose name to sign, it goes without saying that it's the super popular manga artist, Shiina Mashiro.

　These limited editions are priced at 12220 yen. The characters from Shiina Mashiro's JUMP serialization of Inuyasha also bear two names: one is her own name, and the other is Aoyama Arashi's.

　After leaving the NNV studio, Sanzenin Arashi headed to Akihabara and found a Fate for sale sign near the parking lot of a building.

　The purchase queue has stretched from the inner circle to the outer circle, and... a significant portion of them are women, with foreigners also making up a portion, while Japanese users only account for about half.

　Moreover, more and more people are joining this queue.

　Holding a document bag from the car, Sanzenin Arashi entered through the back door using only her ID card.

　The file folder is labeled with the name "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure".

　The manga project was decided a long time ago, but Mashiro was busy drawing the original GAL illustrations and couldn't get away from it at all. FATE's sales probably account for 40% of the users gathered by her appeal, so Sanzenin Arashi didn't give this project to her.

　After all, she's busy with both manga and visual novels, and now is the perfect time to hand this project over to her.

　After that, Sanzenin Arashi still planned to make a visual novel, but she wanted Mashiro to stop—because the next game was R18.

　This would be very bad for a female manga artist's reputation, and Sanzenin Arashi, who dotes on Mashiro, would never do anything to ruin her reputation.

　Arashi Sanzenin entered the signing event and stood to the side, quietly waiting for Mashiro to finish her work. By the time she saw off the last person, the sun had already set.

　After greeting Aki Tomoya, Sanzenin Arashi took Mashiro into the car.

　JOJO's proposal was also given to her.

　"Let's see how the plot goes before deciding whether to draw it," said Sanzenin Arashi.

　JOJO is a manga that requires collaboration with others, and Mashiro was the first choice. For ordinary manga artists, the issue of art style is something that a girl can easily gloss over with a single stroke. She has that kind of overwhelming strength.

　JOJO will not hand over the outline to anyone until Mashiro rejects it; this is the reason for Sanzenin Arashi's pride.

　"I will draw anything that Arashi gives me." Mashiro put the item into her handbag without even opening the file folder.

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled and shook her head. "Let's go eat. We'll have French food tonight."

　Ayase Eli's grandmother runs a restaurant in Chiyoda Ward, which is very close to Akiha. Sanzenin Arashi took out his phone, found the number he had saved last time, and called Tojo Nozomi.

　"Mr. Aoyama, what is it?"

　'What, Mr. Aoyama? You're my cousin, okay...' Sanzenin Arashi was speechless.

　However, he still said, "Are there any good French restaurants in Chiyoda Ward? My book signing just ended, and I'd like to go relax a bit."

　"I know a shop, do you need directions?"

　"Then I'll gladly accept your offer. I'll be there in fifteen minutes."

　..

339, boom

　The member with the largest breasts in μ's is Nozomi Tojo, whose measurements are B90/W60/H82.

　B90!

　This is the model number of the bomb!

　The μs project could be considered a success, but Sanzenin Arashi believes that the μs project in the previous life was not really a success.

　It does have popularity, but the profits are too low.

　Bushimo is struggling to maintain its own operations, and μs only has three revenue streams.

　The first is singles, albums, and karaoke.

　Secondly, there are various Kara merchandise items, including those that come with bonus cards.

　Third is the mobile game, LoveLiveSchoolIdolFestival.

　The cake is only so big, but there are seven or eight people sharing it. However, the world is different.

　The two-dimensional and three-dimensional worlds are the same person!

　The girl named Nozomi Tojo in the anime is also named Nozomi Tojo in real life; there has been no change.

　In this situation, Arashi Sanzenin was confident that he could fully expand the business. The animation character designs were the idol's true form descending. When he drove to Tojo's doorstep, Arashi Sanzenin became even more convinced of this idea.

　The Tojo family's house is located on the eighth floor of an apartment building.

　The classical-style house she had seen before was her grandfather's house. Her grandfather, Tojo Mori, was the brother-in-law of Emperor Sanzenin. Emperor Sanzenin had actually given his grandson a heads-up when he came over this time.

　He couldn't bear to see his friend looking so weak. He was getting old, and the only thing he really worried about was his children and grandchildren. He didn't want to bring it up, afraid of embarrassing his friend, so he asked Sanzenin Arashi to sound him out. He promised to arrange a lucrative overseas business position for him, with a salary of ten million yen a year.

　Nozomi Tojo opened the door.

　The girl was wearing a wool sweater, but that couldn't hide her enormous breasts. As Sanzenin Arashi entered and sat on the sofa, the girl poured her a cup of hot tea and brought it over. Mashiro was waiting downstairs. Taking the opportunity, Sanzenin Arashi took out her phone and took a picture of Tojo's parents, then sent it to her grandfather.

　The rest was something that Emperor Sanzenin could handle on his own. Rather than saying he was helping the Tojo couple, it was more accurate to say that he was giving himself peace of mind.

　After finishing their tasks and getting ready, Tojo Nozomi and the other person went downstairs together and got into the car.

　In μ's, Nozomi Tojo is a character similar to "everyone's older sister," and her older sister aura is gradually rising, almost to the point of becoming "everyone's mother."

　Sanzenin Arashi was still considering the idol route. Compared to popular idols, such as the members of AKB48 and the mainstays like Sashihara Rino, Tojo Nozomi lacked a certain charisma.

　The so-called "idol" aura, that dazzling, eye-catching quality, is exactly what she lacks... However, Rino Sashihara, the famous member of AKB48, was a homebody before her debut, the kind who stayed at home and didn't go out in her spare time. Arashi Sanzenin believes that Nozomi Tojo, after being baptized as an idol, will not be inferior to the girls of AKB48.
