I became a girl group idol for my sister.

For example, only 5,000 copies of the first volume of "A Certain Magical Index" were printed. In this case, regardless of whether the 5,000 copies were sold out, the author, Kazuma Kamachi, could directly receive royalties from the 5,000 copies.

Risa Tempel's actions can be seen as her intention to produce 130,000 CDs as soon as possible, regardless of whether they can be sold, and to pay the royalties for that portion to music producer Yoko Kanno.

She spoke as if she were saying that the CD singles of Miyamoto Sei and the other two would definitely sell 130,000 copies, without showing any sign of panic on her face.

Is this the confidence of the wealthy? They seem completely unconcerned about losing money, as if the hundreds of millions of yen they've invested aren't even worth it.

I put on the headset, and pleasant music started playing. The rhythm was rather gentle, quite different from the songs I usually sing. If you asked Miyamoto Sei to describe it, it would be a kind of gentleness with a modern feel.

Just listening to the music, Miyamoto Satoru's music expresses a special idea about love.

After listening quietly to the three pieces of music, each with its own characteristics, yet also sharing similarities, Miyamoto Sei became increasingly curious about the lyrics prepared by Amagei Risa.

A song is only complete when the music and lyrics are combined.

"How do you feel?" Amagai Risa looked at the three of them, hoping that Miyamoto Sei and the others would give their thoughts.

“Great music, it feels really good.” Miyamoto carefully considered his words. “But could I take a look at the lyrics first? Only by considering the lyrics can I make a real judgment.”

“Yes, Ms. Amagasa, we would like to see the lyrics,” Mika Komatsu added.

Although Miyu Nagaan didn't say anything, her attitude was clearly the same as Miyamoto Sei's and Miyu Nagaan's.

Seeing the three's reaction, Risa Tenbei took out a document that she had prepared beforehand and handed it to them.

The file contained the lyrics, and the parts that each person had to sing were already assigned. Seeing that the chorus of the first song was almost entirely sung by Miyamoto Sei, Komatsu Mika glanced at Miyamoto Sei, said nothing, and began to analyze the lyrics.

After Miyamoto saw that the chorus of the lyrics was almost entirely about himself, he understood what Risa Amagai meant.

The CD single is definitely the title track. The other two are called C/W tracks. The C/W tracks are produced with Miyu Nagasu and Mika Komatsu each having a chorus. However, the chorus of this title track is by Miyamoto Sei. In other words, Miyamoto Sei is the center of the single.

This song, or rather this CD single, was actually released with Miyamoto Sei as the center.

The first song was titled "A Longing That Never Ends." As he looked at the lyrics and listened to the music, Miyamoto felt completely immersed. The lyrics and music were perfectly integrated. Not only that, he even felt that the song was also perfectly integrated with his own personality.

As Miyamoto listened, he completely forgot about his surroundings. His eyes were fixed on the lyrics, reading line by line, and his memories began to drift back to a very distant past, so distant that it was not this world, but another world.

Even a complete shut-in like him has had romantic experiences, even if it was just unrequited love. And that feeling of gradually liking someone, even falling in love with them, and being attached to them resurfaced at this moment...

I thought I had long forgotten those things, but I never expected that something like this would bring them back to mind...

Miyamoto Sei stared at Amagai Risa with his eyes fixed on her. He really wanted to ask her if she was some kind of yokai who could read minds.

Why are you looking at me?

"I just want to ask, from what perspective, or for what reason, did you write these lyrics?"

"It's very simple. Based on my observations of you, I have a feeling that you must have experienced some profound emotional events. Combining this feeling with my understanding of people, these lyrics came about."

As Tenberia spoke, her smile widened.

"Could it be that they are a perfect match?"

"I'm starting to suspect you're a mountain hag."

Yama-baba is a Japanese mythical creature that can read minds and then devour people.

"To say I'm that kind of terrifying monster, you're really annoying." Risa Tenbei waved cheerfully, clearly pleased by the lyrics' perfect match, and then asked, "So, what's your attitude? Yes? No?"

"It suits me perfectly. I don't even need to think about what emotions I should use to sing this song..."

“Alright, now it’s the remaining two.” Tenbei Lisa said, looking at the other two.

The music begins to relax again, featuring a song by Mika Komatsu titled "Irresistible Love".

When Miyamoto finished reading the lyrics, he couldn't help but look at Komatsu Mika. Komatsu Mika's face was slightly red, but she was still trying her best to control her expression. It was clear that the lyrics had a significant impact on her.

The song title, "Love That Cannot Be Refused," describes a tsundere-like character who says one thing but means another. She resists verbally and physically, but in reality, she cannot refuse. It is a contradictory state. Miyamoto Sei once again affirms that Amagai Risa's lyrics must have been thought about for a long time.

He began to wonder when the other party had started preparing these lyrics, and when this plan for the new anime series had begun.

"The song is fine, I can sing it well!" Mika Komatsu said, her neck outstretched, as if the song wasn't a good fit for her, but she could still handle it with her own skills.

Seeing her like this, Miyamoto chuckled inwardly. Since Amagai Risa could write such lyrics, she must have seen through the other person. He nodded and began the third song.

That was a song by Miyu Nagasu, titled "Attraction of the Stars".

It's also a love song, but this one leans more towards a longing for a loved one, a pursuit of that loved one, and gradually, a feeling of letting go of that relationship.

Miyamoto Satoru believed his interpretation was correct, but when he looked at Nagayasu Miyu, he noticed that she was silently clenching her fists as she looked at the lyrics.

Good heavens, could it be that Tenbelisa was right again?

"Thank you, Ms. Tenbei, I know how to sing now!"

As Miyu Nagasu spoke, her voice trembled slightly.

"Are you sure it's suitable?" Risa Tenbei asked, just to be sure.

Miyu Nagasu nodded: "It's perfect, no problem at all!"

"That's good. Now that you have the melody and lyrics, in addition to your regular performance training, you'll also need to train for the new song."

As she spoke, Tambirisa took out three more documents and handed them to the group.

"And in the days to come, you will complete these courses, all of which are related to voice acting. You can observe how other voice actors do voice acting in person. Of course, it is impossible to expect you to reach the level of a professional voice actor. Just take some time each week to watch."

Upon receiving the documents, Miyamoto discovered that they were being asked to study at the Japan Broadcasting and Acting Institute, which is affiliated with I'm Enterprise.

This school is quite famous. For example, three or four years ago, the then president Matsuda was prosecuted by the police for allegedly molesting a 16-year-old aspiring voice actress, and thus became the former president.

Of course, that's not all. The reason Miyamoto remembered this company so clearly is because one of the voice actresses Miyamoto really liked, Megumi Hayashibara, was a first-term student at this school.

Another voice actress whom Miyamoto Sei greatly admires, Rie Kugimiya, is affiliated with I'm Enterprise.

As a seasoned sufferer of "King of the Cocktail" syndrome, it's hard for him not to know!

Chapter Nine: The Girl Named Onishi

The day after receiving the new song, Miyamoto and others took time to visit the Japan Broadcasting and Acting Research Institute.

They only had a few hours to study because they had to go back to the theater for a performance.

"You must be the three rough stones that Mr. Tenbei mentioned. She values ​​you highly and insisted that you visit her usual study area."

The middle-aged man, wearing glasses and looking rather old, smiled at Miyamoto and the other two, his smiling face quite amiable.

His name is Fumihiko Kimura, and he is currently the president of the Japan Broadcasting and Acting Research Institute and several other related companies.

"Since it's not a formal enrollment, you won't be required to graduate or anything like that. However, the voice acting industry is closely related to the acting industry, and it's a subordinate relationship. So, if you're thinking about your future development, I personally think you still need to take it seriously."

"Thank you for your guidance, we will definitely keep it in mind!"

Miyamoto quickly said, and Komatsu Mika and Nagasu Miyu beside her also hurriedly said things like "thank you for your guidance".

Actors and voice actors have something in common, especially in dubbing. Familiarizing themselves with the character's mindset and incorporating that mindset into their own to bring the character to life is the job of both actors and voice actors.

Miyamoto Sei remembers that Aoyama's office had also mentioned this concept, but people outside the industry wouldn't care.

Now that Kimura Fumihiko has said it so formally, the three of them naturally have to try their best to remember it.

"However, it's not like you need to get busy right now. You can look around first. After all, this is a school, so you can get familiar with it."

The three left Fumihiko Kimura's office and then slowly walked down the corridor. Although it was called a voice actor school, it was really just a building and didn't have any of the playgrounds or other facilities that a typical school would have.

The three hadn't gone far when they saw someone suddenly run past them, with another person chasing after them, shouting as they went.

"Senior Onishi, wait for me!"

It was clear that the two were in a hurry, and Miyamoto smiled at Komatsu Mika and Nagasu Miyu when he saw them.

"Should we follow them and see?"

"Huh? Should we follow them?" Miyu asked, somewhat surprised.

Mika Komatsu nodded.

"We can go and take a look. They look like the trainees here. Maybe they're going to train. If we can go to their training area and observe them, it will be good for us."

The three of them followed and soon arrived at a room. The room wasn't very big, and there were about ten people inside, including the two girls who had run past earlier.

"Who are you...?" The woman standing at the front, presumably the teacher, looked at Miyamoto and the other two and asked.

"Mr. Kimura told us to look around first, so we came to take a look. Sorry to bother you," Miyamoto said quickly. "If it's alright, could we just watch?"

"They look so cute!"

"Are you a newcomer who wants to become a voice actor?"

"Mr. Kimura, you're not talking about the president, are you? And you said you wanted to observe from the sidelines, are you here to investigate?"

The arrival of the three caused the dozen or so girls who were standing to start whispering among themselves, clearly curious about the identities of the three who had suddenly run in.

When the teacher heard that it was Fumihiko Kimura who had sent them around, she was slightly taken aback, then realized: "You three are from Stardust Girl, right?"

"Yes, we are Stardust Girl, I am Miyamoto Nana, nice to meet you!"

"I'm Mika Komatsu, nice to meet you!"

"I am Miyu Nagaan, nice to meet you!"

"Stardust Girl? What's that?"

"Stardust Girl? I do know Stardust Dragon."
