I became a girl group idol for my sister.

Could it be because my sister found out that my brother likes to wear women's clothing? And his room is actually full of all kinds of women's clothes? Is that why he doesn't want me to go there?

That seems reasonable, since he probably doesn't want me to discover his secret. My brother would definitely find it too shameful to cross-dress.

My sister probably also felt that my brother's behavior was a bit problematic, but since it was just his personal hobby, she wanted to protect his secret. That's why she told me not to be too curious and ask him where he was living now...

Should I tell my brother that I already know he likes to wear women's clothes?

If my brother asks how I found out... I'll tell the truth and say I saw it while helping him tidy up the clothes. My brother shouldn't be angry, right?

Well, my brother definitely won't be angry. At most, he'll just be depressed for a while because his cross-dressing was exposed.

Compared to knowing where my brother lives and being able to visit him, the loss of my brother being depressed for a while is completely acceptable!

Even if I did find out where my brother lives, I couldn't tell Kuriko-chan. After all, who knows what would happen if Kuriko-chan discovered my brother's secret of cross-dressing...

"By the way, Chestnut Sauce, let me ask you a question. What would you do if you discovered a secret about the person you like?"

"A secret about someone you like?" Morita Kuriko asked, puzzled. "What secret? A secret you don't want to tell anyone, or a secret you can't tell anyone?"

"Does it make any difference?"

"Yes, if someone doesn't want to tell you, it's just that they don't want to. Actually, there's nothing wrong with telling others. For example, if I have a game console, I might not want to tell others, but there's nothing wrong with telling them, right?"

"But if I am actually a magical girl, this secret absolutely cannot be revealed, otherwise I will be sliced ​​into pieces or something. This is a secret that cannot be told to others."

Upon hearing this explanation, Yukiko Miyamoto said, "That is a secret that cannot be told to others."

"A secret you can't tell anyone else? That's great!" Morita Kuriko chuckled. "Of course, you can use it to blackmail the other person, to get them to go out with you, or go on a date with you. This kind of secret that truly belongs to both of you is the easiest way to bring two people closer, and it's also the easiest way to control the other person!"

When Kuriko Morita said this, the expression on her face was truly fascinating.

"To paraphrase a line from a comic my sister was reading recently, you could say, 'Sir, you wouldn't want your secret to be known by others, would you?'"

Seeing the devilish expression on Morita Kuriko's face, Miyamoto Yukiko became even more certain of her idea. She absolutely could not let Morita Kuriko know that her brother liked cross-dressing, otherwise her brother would be completely controlled by her and become her plaything!

This is really terrible!

……

The recording studio not only records audio, but also houses a large number of cameras that film the people inside from various angles, including front, back, left, right, and above.

The people being photographed were, of course, Miyamoto Sei, Nagayasu Miyu, and Komatsu Mika.

Miyamoto Sei and Komatsu Mika stood in front, while Nagasu Miyu sat behind them. All three were playing their instruments, and music flowed out and filled the room as they played.

The people recording were listening very attentively, some even becoming quite engrossed.

The sound engineer forgot to adjust the props in front of him at this moment, because there was no need for them at all.

"It's really hard to imagine that they've only been learning instruments for a few months. They also had other things to do during that time, so they weren't learning all the time." Shinichiro Watanabe looked at the group of people inside through the window from outside, his face full of admiration.

With him was Mai Yoneyama, an artist and animation supervisor. She was also observing the people inside through the window, observing them very carefully, as if she wanted to memorize every detail of each person.

Upon hearing Shinichiro Watanabe's words, Mai Yoneyama nodded in agreement.

"These kids are all incredibly talented. Whether it's voice acting, music, or dance, the skills they've displayed are something others could envy for a lifetime..."

"Besides these talents, it is obvious that Miss Komatsu is also very talented in acting. Although she shows her true self in front of Miss Miyamoto and Miss Eian, she still performs in front of others and does not let her true self be exposed."

Shinichiro Watanabe smiled as he spoke.

"Of course, Ms. Miyamoto is also very talented in acting. Judging from her performance in the movie, it is hard to imagine that this is someone who is acting in a film and television production for the first time. Although this is also related to the fact that she has few scenes and mainly dances."

"So, the most ordinary one is actually Miss Yong'an?" Mai Yoneyama said, opening her Apple tablet and quickly starting to draw on it.

"She just seems ordinary among the three, but in reality, she may not be as versatile as the other two, but she is more likely to master something. She is very serious. No matter what she does, she has a kind of 'must do her best' spirit. It's just that her temperament is too gentle, which leads to her being suppressed."

Shinichiro Watanabe sighed as he finished speaking.

"I have to say, Teacher Tianbei is really amazing. She found these three people and formed a unit with them. She even deliberately suppressed them from becoming official members. If it were a normal agency, they would definitely spend money to promote them like crazy and start making money as much as possible."

“I’ve seen a lot of comments online, saying things like Tenbe Risa is deliberately suppressing them, or that there’s something fishy going on. And many people think that although the three of them are talented, they will soon be forgotten and fade into obscurity if they don’t have many opportunities to perform.”

"That's because they don't realize one thing: what is the reason that SKR has been able to develop to this point? You should know that many people look down on SKR, saying that these girls are just a bunch of country bumpkins and don't deserve to be idols at all."

As he spoke, Shinichiro Watanabe shook his head with a smile: "They didn't realize that the foundation of SKR is those ordinary people. They are not sacred objects that are high above and completely isolated from their fans. They are also living people, a group of ordinary people who need to interact with their fans."

"So, what Mr. Watanabe is trying to say is, for the three of them right now, is the most important thing the basics?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean, the basics!"

Shinichiro Watanabe nodded.

"Theatrical performances offer close contact. Even if there are only 250 fans present at a time, these are all fans who have truly interacted with the audience."

"And the challenges they are currently facing are the same: immersing themselves in the world of anime and manga to gain another group of fans. Then, they need to figure out how to connect with these people and turn them into true fans. This is something they need to consider going forward."

At this point, Shinichiro Watanabe laughed.

"I could feel from their enthusiasm that they would definitely succeed, because every time they perform, they are truly facing the audience and their fans. They have a very thorough understanding of the idea that being an idol is about conveying one's own feelings."

"Haha, hearing Mr. Watanabe say that makes me a little suspicious. Have you also become a fan of theirs?"

“I feel like I’ve become a fan of theirs without even realizing it while working with them,” Shinichiro Watanabe said with a smile, while Mai Yoneyama laughed as well: “I feel the same way. It’s nice to be a fan of theirs.”

At this moment, the filming in the recording studio finally ended, the performance stopped, and Miyamoto and the others stopped what they were doing, stood up and bowed to the staff.

"Thank you for your help!"

"No, no, no, thank you for your help!" the staff member quickly returned the greeting.

Stepping out of the recording studio, Miyamoto called out to Watanabe Shinichiro, "Mr. Watanabe, how did this go?"

“Come and take a look for yourselves. I personally think it’s pretty good. It has every angle. All you have to do is hand it over to the artist.” Shinichiro Watanabe said, pointing to the screen.

When Miyamoto and the other two went over to take a look, the screen looked like a surveillance camera, showing images from all angles clearly, even the movements of fingers could be seen clearly.

After reviewing the entire filming footage, Miyamoto Sei, Komatsu Mika, and Nagasu Miyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The filming was perfect; in other words, it passed on the first try!

At that moment, Shinichiro Watanabe suddenly said, "When the single comes out, remember to sign it for me!"

“Me too!” Mai Yoneyama chimed in from the side.

Miyamoto was slightly taken aback, then exclaimed in surprise.

"Eh?!"

Chapter 52 Fear of Men and Fear of Women

Watanabe Shinichiro and Yoneyama Mai's words greatly surprised Miyamoto Sei, who never expected the two of them to say such things.

He first carefully observed their expressions. Both of them were smiling, but he couldn't tell that they were joking.

Miyu Nagayasu seemed surprised by what the two said, while Mika Komatsu seemed quite natural, as if this was a very normal thing.

However, Miyamoto Sei reacted quickly. After realizing that the two were not joking, he immediately said, "Since Mr. Watanabe and Mr. Yoneyama have said so, we will prepare signed CDs for you two."

At this point, he chuckled again: "Excuse me, could you sign my 'Cowboy Bebop' CD? And for Watanabe-sensei and Yoneyama-sensei, could you sign my 'EVA' art book?"

“Just bring it over, I’ll sign it for you,” Shinichiro Watanabe said with a smile, and Mai Yoneyama nodded in agreement: “No problem at all.”

Upon hearing their words, Miyamoto immediately cheered.

The autographs of Shinichiro Watanabe and Mai Yoneyama are not something you can easily get!

He silently pondered what else he hoped to obtain, and then quietly included several of his idols in his plan. Whenever he had the chance, he would ask those idols for autographs, such as getting Nagaru Tanigawa's autograph on the "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" light novel series, and Shoji Gatoh's autograph on "Full Metal Panic!".

Miyamoto suddenly realized that after becoming an idol, the probability of meeting people he never thought he would meet was also increasing dramatically.

Thinking of this, Miyamoto Sei became even happier.

"You can rest for a few days. There won't be anything for you for now. After a while, we'll need you to participate in the voice-over work."

Shinichiro Watanabe discussed the upcoming schedule with the three of them, and then went off to work with Mai Yoneyama. The entire production team was now operating at full speed.

As Shinichiro Watanabe had said, the three main voice actors had nothing else to do for the time being, so after leaving the studio, they headed to their next destination.

The graduate student performance has started again, and they are all very busy again.

……

Waseda University, school square.

Today is a very happy day for Waseda University students, as a large-scale concert is being held on campus.

Although this concert was organized by students, the school also contributed to it. The performers on stage were not students, but real celebrities and idols.

"The school is really generous. I heard that this performance cost several million yen!" a boy with a buzz cut said to his friend next to him.

The man with slightly longer hair nodded: "That's because the land belongs to the school, so there's no need to pay for the venue. If we had to pay for the venue, the expenses would probably double. But it's good to have our own land; we can use all the money to invite idol stars."

The boy with the buzz cut wanted to say something, but before he could speak, music started playing in front of him, and three figures appeared on the field. In an instant, the field was filled with shouts.

He quickly raised his hand, pointed ahead, and exclaimed excitedly, "Look, Miya is out!"

At this moment, the arena was filled with shouts, and everyone was calling out the names of the three girls on stage.

"GEM! GEM!"

"GEM! GEM!"

The Unit, named Gem, consists of three girls standing on the stage, with the girl in the very center being the most dazzling.
