I Have Found a Local Small Time Idol Group That I Follow and I am Happy With, But There is a Problem... part 2"EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH???????????????????"
The nonthreatening female wota gives him a reassuring look. "Don't worry. No one here is mad that you came. Just enjoy the show."
How does she know that?After five more minutes of standing around with the other two hundred members of the audience, Kaito is relieved when the five members of Looky-Looky take the stage and do their first number.
Wow, their choreography is pretty simple. But, as expected, Chibo Yuno's outfit is pretty cute.After the first song the five members of Looky-Looky break to drink water, and Tamachi Yano starts her talk segment (also known as an "MC".)
I can see that they haven't been doing this for very long. They look out of breath after only one song. But, the point of following idols is to support them so they can become better, and if they were perfect in every aspect of performing and looks then they would be performers instead of idols."Thank you all for coming! I am the leader of Looky-Looky, Tamachi Yano, or Yano-mint for short. Most of you know me really well through my Bakacast, so I will try to help all of you know more of the members of the group. So, Shimura Utako!"
Utako walks over to Yane, looking really nervous and scared. She tries to smile and wave to the audience.
"So, Utako, last week I asked you to download the Usagi Musume game. Did you do so?"
Utako smiles. "Yes."
"How are you doing?"
"Yesterday I drew a pretty character." Utako then gives the name of the character that she got from a random draw, a character that has a one in a million probability of being drawn.
"ARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!! Getting an SSSR character in the first week? I have been playing for months and the best I have drawn in a SR character!"
Utako does a cat paws pose. "Excuse me-ow."
"Well, I guess it is not worth getting mad over a game like that."
Kaito hears a loud beep.
"Well, let's get ready for the next song."
Utako turns her back on Yano-mint and Yano-mint gives her a dirty look.
They perform their second song.
I can see that Chibo Yuno has the most aptitude for dancing and also seems to have the most stamina. Her singing is weaker, but idol-groups are allowed to have members that have specialties, so I guess it is okay.After the song, Yano-mint sets up for another MC.
Chibo Yuno seems to be the second most physically fit behind Tamachi Yano. I guess you would have to be to be a good dancer."Now let me introduce you to Nagamizu Amo-chan and Chibo Yuno-chan!"
Amo and Yuno walk up to Yano, both showing more confidence than Utako.
"So, both of you go to art college, is that right?"
They nod.
"And the two of you have a combi name?"
(Combi is short for combination.)
"Yes, we are Murder on the Riverside." They say in unison and strike a combination pose.
"Very scary. I heard you guys released a social media video this morning. Is that so?"
Amo nods. "Yes, we did." Amo turns to the crowd. "Everyone, if you saw the video, please raise your hand!"
Oh great. I was so excited about going to the live I forgot to check.Yuno smiles. "This is wonderful. Is there anyone here who has not seen it?"
Kaito sheepishly raises his hand.
The nonthreatening girl who helped Kaito earlier brings up the video on her smart phone.
Kaito hears another beep, and the group sets up for their next song.
The video on the girl's smart phone isn't very long, and it is Amo and Yuno dancing to one of their producer's songs.
Yuno does better than Amo, as I expected.They perform their third song, then Yano-mint sets up for her final MC. "And now, Uya Tano!"
Uya Tano walks up to Yano looking slightly embarrassed and sheepish. She greets the crowd in Chinese.
"So Tano, I heard you are doing a new video for SocialSocial?"
Uya speaks is a whisper like voice. "Yes, I will be reading a children's story, first in Japanese, then in Chinese."
"Which one?"
"I haven't decided between Jack and the Beanstalk, and the Sun and the North Wind." Uya looks up and to the right, then nods. "Maybe I will decide tonight."
"I am looking forward to this. Do your best."
"I will."
Kaito hears another beep, and the group sets up for their next song.
Uya's voice is pretty unique. I can always tell when it is her singing in a recording.After their last song, Looky-Looky sits down on stage with their backs to the audience.
Yane turns around. "Everyone, pose with us!"
A photographer takes a picture of the group with the fans in the background.
"Okay! We will see you in fifteen minutes!"
The group walks off stage.
Bewildered, Kaito turns to Riso. "Where are we meeting them in fifteen minutes?"
Riso smiles. "They have a 'privilege party' in one of the meeting rooms for about an hour. We should follow the crowd there now. They will change clothes and join us. But before they get there, we have to buy stuff to get a ticket for a handshake."
I wasn't expecting this, but it sounds okay.To be continued.
