Showbiz Simulation - 2

[Hero Club room]

Sek: Hiya, here's Itsuki-chan's outfit for today. Fluttery!

Its: T-Thank you very much. Are you uh, the stylist?

Fuu: Now wait a minute, Akihara-chan. Don't you think this colour doesn't suit my Itsuki?

Sek: Eeh? Miss manager, you're really going to complain like that?

SON: And then Washirin and Sonorin from a rival unit came in and began bullying her!

Sum: Y-You're a hundred years too early to be wearing flashy outfits like that, rookie!

Son: Yeah, yeah. You're like, totes out of your league! Uglies like you should just wear translucent trash bags!

Yum: S-Sonorin-san's choice of words is so cruel it actually makes me somewhat depressed...

SON: And the one who came into the dressing room on the verge of explosion was none other than Anzun, the chief director!

Anz: How's it hangin'? Good work, y'all. Whew! Junior idols! Cutie pies!

Son/Sum: We'll be in your care!

Fuu: Itsuki! Go introduce yourself too! Use this chance to show yourself off!

Its: I-I'll be in your care... I'm a... new singer... my name is Itsuki.

Anz: Mmm, why so stiff, girl? Manager, baby, do me a solid and raise Itsu-chan properly, yeah?

Shi: Iyojima... That's way too gimmicky.

SON: Okay, next! A wave of journalists approaches!

Suz: Hello, hello! What's your favourite food? What's your type? What are you afraid of?

Hin: Look over here please! One more shot! Ah, and one more!

Its: Aah... My favourite food is udon...

Fuu: That's not it! Itsuki loves strawberry shortcake and salmon roe sushi because they're so cute!

SON: And the one who overheard was Ms. Tama the producer!

Tam: Let's hit up Ginza for some sushi, girl! C'mon, c'mon! Sushi at Ginza!

Anz: Tamacchi-senpai, where did you learn that... Aaah! Did you take a novel from my shelf again!?

Tam: Your character was based off that too, right? "Take me to the sing-off"?

Mit: Iyojima-san has a lot of the books in the "Take me to the" series...

Tam: Sushi at Ginza! Sushi at Ginza!

Fuu: Certainly, sometime! By the way, it'd be nice if my Itsuki could have a role in a drama one of these days.

Its: Eh, I have to act too, not just sing!? I don't have any confidence at all... What should I do?

SON: And then a hit actress far ahead of Itsuki, Kusunoki Mebuki appeared!

Meb: If you have no confidence, girl, then make yourself scarce. Don't take acting lightly!

Its: Aah!?

Shi: I can faintly... Feel that Miroku smell in the way Kusunoki is acting...

Yum: What is "Miroku smell" supposed to mean!?

SON: And the one who came to comfort the downtrodden Itsuki was Minowa Gin-kun, a popular idol!

Gin: Don't let it get to you, Itsuki-chan. All beginners go through this.

Its: T-Thank you... Gin-kun. You're so kind.

SON: However! Yes, however! That makes Nibokobushi, a female enka singer, jealous!

Kar: If you're not confident in your singing or your acting, you're not cut out for this indust-... Nibokobushi!?

Tou: Aah, this is a mess...

Tak: I'm excited, what will my role be!?

Chi: Please let me not get a role at all...
