I became a girl group idol for my sister.

For Miyamoto, this was a good start. With this start, she could quickly get the tenth batch of graduate students to begin their training.

After all, communication is the most important element in a team, and this communication cannot be a one-sided command; it must involve the expression of opinions among the members.

Those people nowadays finally have the courage to speak to themselves and the ability to express their opinions.

However, the biggest problem is that, in addition to spending the 50,000 yen given by Risa Amagai, Miyamoto also spent 20,000 yen of his own, totaling more than 70,000 yen.

Just thinking about the smiles on the children's faces made Miyamoto smile too.

This money was well spent.

He picked up his phone, Miyamoto Sei's phone, and casually browsed through it for a while. Soon, he saw an app shortcut icon.

That's the NicoNico icon. Miyamoto recalled that he had downloaded the app and tipped a NicoNico streamer after seeing her sing SKR's song.

I vaguely remember that the reason the other person could sing that song was because they saw their performance at Shibuya Public Hall.

He opened the NicoNico app and browsed around casually, only to find that familiar streamer again.

That streamer named An Yue Si Shi Shi is still streaming at 11 p.m.!

She was singing, and she was singing "Endless Replay," the single from the second general election, which was filmed with Naoki Sakurako as the center.

She sang with great joy and it sounded wonderful. Although she was different from her senior, Sakurako, and had her own distinct style, this unique personal touch gave the song a different feel.

That's a feeling of energy and cuteness.

Miyamoto listened to the song quietly, then looked at the audience below.

With 453 people online, it's still quite a small number. Miyamoto looked at the game the other person was playing, which was still a niche game. Even the name of the live stream room was the name of this niche game that he had never heard of before. This was equivalent to directly filtering out a group of customers, so it was completely understandable that there were so few people.

People who aren't interested in this game won't even click to watch, so naturally they won't know that this streamer is a really good singer; it's a waste of her talent to be a game streamer...

Looking at the comments, they're all things like "You sang really well!" and "One more song!" Almost no one cares how well you played the game.

Clearly, those who chose to stay weren't there for the game. While they might have come in for the game, at this moment, they were simply there to listen to music.

Miyamoto first tipped him one point, and then typed in another line of text.

[You could try changing the title of your livestream to something like "Just playing some casual games, mainly singing," which might attract more viewers.]

Click send, and the words you typed will appear on the screen instantly.

The streamer who didn't show his face had just finished singing and had obviously seen Miyamoto Sei's message.

"Should I change the title? The current title should let people know what game I'm playing, right? After all, people should be here to see games."

Her tone of voice was much smoother than last time, showing that the past few months of live streaming had helped her overcome her initial nervousness.

Then a group of people refuted her statement.

[I initially came to check out the games, but now I just want to listen to the music.]

[Yeah, listening to songs is great. Shishi, your gaming skills aren't good; singing is much better. If you want more viewers, focusing on singing would be better!]

[That's right, if their main focus was singing, they probably already have tens of thousands of followers!]

These words clearly caught the girl off guard, and she uttered a sound of surprise and uncertainty.

"Huh?! Is that so?!"

[That's right, that's exactly it. You can play any game, the important thing is singing!]

I think uploading some singing videos to NicoNico might help attract some followers.

Looking at these answers, An Yue Si Shi Shi became somewhat hesitant.

"So that's how it is. I always thought everyone was here to watch me play games... Turns out, they all came to hear me sing?"

[If the maximum score is 10, Shishi could get 5 points in gaming, barely passing, while she could get 9 points in singing, which is close to perfect.]

[Yeah, you should stick to singing as your main performance from now on. You don't need to write about games anymore. Using singing as the main promotion for your stream will definitely attract more viewers!]

"Okay, okay, I'll try changing it..." Seeing that almost everyone was saying the same thing, An Yue Si Shi Shi finally started to change the name and category of her live stream room. Soon, a brand new name and tag appeared in front of everyone.

Although there is a game category, there is also a singing category, and the name has been changed to something like "Singing while playing games".

Miyamoto watched quietly without saying anything more. He just stared at the number of people, and after waiting for a few minutes, the number finally began to change.

The number of people increased from 453 to 454, and this was just the beginning.

About half an hour later, including the first person, the number of people had increased by twelve, becoming 465.

Clearly, this method is somewhat effective.

Seeing that it was effective, Miyamoto left the live stream, turned off his phone, and decisively closed his eyes. He had to go to work tomorrow, so of course he needed to rest early.

Chapter 49 Recruiting Voice Actors

Inside the dance studio, Miyamoto and the others were undergoing dance training. The tenth generation of trainees would be performing in a month, so they needed to memorize the dance moves as quickly as possible.

While training, he observed the new recruits' movements, noting which person's movements were problematic and which person's performance was flawed. Miyamoto Sei memorized all of this.

After about two hours of training, Miyamoto Sei, Komatsu Mika, and the others began packing their things, as they needed to go to their voice acting classes.

On the way to voice actor training, Mika Komatsu asked, "What's wrong? You look like you have something on your mind."

"Somewhat. I was thinking about giving Fujino Rena and Amano Aoi some special training." Miyamoto said, his expression showing some concern: "Both of them have some problems with their movements. I originally wanted to ask them to train around 8 pm tonight, but they usually go home by then. If I ask them to stay, it would seem like I'm taking up their personal time."

"Why think so much? Just ask directly," Mika Komatsu said bluntly. "It's not like you never used to train us before."

“It’s different. Back then, everyone decided to stay and train on their own, but these kids… we don’t know yet if they’re willing to do extra training on their own.”

"Nana-chan, you're very young too," Miyu Nagayasu said with a grin.

Hearing this, Miyamoto was slightly taken aback, then he couldn't help but laugh and cry.

I was so busy that it felt like a long time had passed, and I naturally felt like I was looking at these new graduate students as if they were my children.

This is no longer just a matter of having the blessing of a previous life. After all, in his previous life, he was just a college student with little social experience.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that although I'm only a high school student in this life, my experience in society far surpasses that of my past self.

Despite her feelings, Miyamoto still answered Komatsu Mika's question.

"Recently, I've seen many people online saying that studying is tiring and they don't want to study anymore. Although dancing is considered studying, not working, it's still easy to feel bored. At least you get overtime pay when you work..."

“If they truly chose this path out of love or idealism for the idol profession, then I don’t think it’s a problem,” Mika Komatsu said, shrugging. “Of course, it’s also possible that they simply chose this path on a whim, only to find it too tiring and choose to leave. Who knows?”

Hearing her say that, Miyamoto nodded.

This is exactly what he's worried about. If someone impulsively chooses to come in, only to find it too tiring and eventually chooses to leave, it would be a loss for the graduate student who chose to do so.

Upon arriving at the Japan Broadcasting and Acting Research Institute, just as she entered the broadcasting training room, Saori Onishi rushed over.

"Qina-chan, I watched your movie!" she said happily. "That dance scene was amazing! That shot felt like it was from a completely different world from the rest of the movie!"

Miyamoto smiled somewhat shyly upon hearing the praise.

"No, it's just dancing. The others had a lot more to do than I did."

“You’re being too modest. If it weren’t for your dance, this movie would have been a complete failure,” Saori Onishi said.

These words prompted several people nearby to nod in agreement.

"That's right. I don't follow idols anyway. The only part of the whole movie that's worth watching is Nana-chan's dance."

"I'm wondering how they even had the guts to make a movie. Shouldn't they have trained for another six months or so before making movies?"

"Actually, I heard their acting improved later on, didn't it? If it improved, it means they were learning on their own, so I guess they can perform even better next time," Miyamoto said.

He obviously hadn't seen the movie; he only knew about it from the internet. Many people online were commenting on the improved acting skills of the main actors.

"Their acting has improved, but unfortunately, this improvement has also created some disjointedness. Their acting is good in some parts, but not in others. I guess it's related to the filming order. I wonder how their next film will be; I doubt many people will watch it..."

"That's not necessarily true. After all, they are idols with their own fan base, so I think there will still be fans who will support them."

Listening to the discussion, Miyamoto smiled and went inside. He didn't care at all whether Sasaki Ao would become popular. As long as he improved his acting skills, he thought he could still see him in TV dramas and the like in the future.

All he wants to do right now is get rid of all the problems weighing on him.

After completing voice acting training, I then had instrumental music training. By the time I returned to the theater, it was already past eight o'clock.

Miyamoto Sei, along with Komatsu Mika, Nagasu Miyu, and a few others, arrived at the entrance of the graduate student dance studio, only to hear music coming from inside.

Upon hearing the voice, Miyamoto paused for a moment, while Komatsu Mika, who was standing next to him, laughed.

I pushed open the door, and it was full of people.

Miyamoto looked at the group of people training inside and his eyes welled up slightly.

"Ah, it's Senior who's back!"

"So, the senior is coming back for training after all!"

Even though they've mastered it, they don't seem to want to relax!

Seeing the girls who were all surprised to see him return, Miyamoto felt genuinely happy.

He was indeed overthinking it; these children also have a deep love for the dream of having an idol.

Now that this has been confirmed, there's no need for me to have too many concerns.

"Since everyone's here, let's train together!" Miyamoto said with a smile, putting his backpack in the corner and running into the room across the hall.
