I became a girl group idol for my sister.

“Okay, we can start recording now.” Miyamoto nodded. “By the way, why don’t you guys create your own accounts too? That way you can interact with each other.”

Yongan Meixi quickly replied, "Okay, I'll register when I get home tonight."

"I've had an account for a while, I just never thought about posting videos," Mika Komatsu said. "I just keep updating my blog occasionally."

"I haven't set up a blog yet, but I'm considering setting up a Twitter account," Miyamoto said, stroking his chin. "I might as well just set up one for everything."

"We could definitely set one up, since it's a place where we can interact with our fans." Miyu Nagayasu thought for a moment, then urged again, "Alright, let's hurry up and record, then Nana-chan can go home and rest!"

I feel like you're going to become my mother...

Miyamoto thought silently for a moment, then checked the camera again before turning on the music. The three of them then began recording their dance to the rhythm of the music.

……

Happiness always comes unexpectedly.

Miyamoto Sei, along with Komatsu Mika and Nagasu Miyu, as a unit, can participate in other activities independently. Of course, they usually contact their managers, who are actually the same managers as SKR, since they are not popular at the moment and don't have much work.

Unlike other units, where everyone has their own agent who can help with job hunting and so on.

Therefore, Miyamoto never imagined that she would be invited to participate in the program as a Stardust Girl.

But that's exactly what happened.

They were invited by the Tokyo Fan Animation Fair, and it's easy to understand why this happened; it's obvious that their recent cosplay and otaku dance performances have had an effect.

Although it was just a small, spontaneously organized event, receiving such an invitation was a very happy thing for Miyamoto.

So when they received the news from Subaru Hasegawa and were asked if they wanted to continue, Miyamoto and the other two accepted without hesitation.

Miyu Nagasu excitedly held the event form: "This is amazing! I never thought I could participate in this kind of event as a Stardust Girl!"

"It's just a comic convention, and a non-comic convention at that. Don't get too excited. Don't forget you've been to Tokyo Dome before!" Mika Komatsu said from the side, but judging from her clenched fists, she was actually quite excited herself.

Miyamoto was equally excited. Although going to Tokyo Dome was glamorous, it was actually just an afterthought. The performance at Tokyo Dome was to warm up for the general election. This time, the invitation to the comic convention was different. He was genuinely invited by someone else to perform, so the nature of the event was completely different.

So even though it was just a small anime convention, Miyamoto Sei still felt that he had taken another step forward.

"If we perform well this time, maybe AnimeJapan will invite us next time!"

AnimeJapan, the Tokyo Comic Con, is held every March and is definitely one of the biggest events in the anime and manga community.

Upon hearing Miyamoto's words, both of them responded with a hum.

Mika Komatsu: "I definitely will!"

Miyu Nagasu: "Definitely!"

"Well, let's add another dream to the general election: to stand on the AnimeJapan stage as an invited participant!"

Meanwhile, in Risa Tenber's office.

“Really? You accepted.” Risa Tenbei nodded.

"Why let them choose for themselves? Usually, that's a decision the agent makes, right? And this kind of invitation..."

"It's good to let them choose for themselves, and they earned this opportunity themselves, didn't they?" Lisa Tenbei smiled. "It's also good that she came up with the idea of ​​posting otaku dance videos and doing cosplay; the results were pretty good, weren't they?"

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Being Targeted

"Ms. Miya, this is the schedule for this event."

Looking at the event schedule her manager had placed on the table, Miya, who was leaning against the table looking rather languid, gently picked it up with her left index finger and thumb, tilting her head to look at the words on it.

"The Tokyo International Anime Fair? It should be quite crowded. But does an anime fair also have a performance area?"

"It's not mainly about selling doujinshi (fan-made comics) there, but rather about events organized by various companies in collaboration with cosplayers, and there's a dedicated dance area," the agent explained. "There should be quite a few people going there."

"To expand into new businesses?" Miya muttered to herself, then her eyes lit up. "Hmm? So they were invited too?"

Are you talking about Stardust Girl?

“Hmm, Stardust Girl was invited too. She’s not famous at all, but suddenly she was invited. Did SKR pay for it?” Miya said, her eyes fixed on the words “Stardust Girl” written on the paper.

Should I go and ask about it?

"No need." Miya put down the paper and continued to lie on the table. "Do you think if I said I wouldn't go if Stardust Girl went, would the organizers remove Stardust Girl?"

“This…” the agent thought for a moment, “If SKR is the one who has invested, then it might be a bit difficult.”

Is it difficult?

"Do you need me to make arrangements? With JC Staff's status and Ms. Miya's position, the organizers should be able to handle this." The manager said, already taking out his phone, seemingly intending to make a call.

"No need. If that were the case, it wouldn't be fun anymore." Miya stood up. "They're just a bunch of kids playing house. Of course, I'm going to crush these guys who think idols are just playing house head-on!"

Seeing Miya's confident smile, the manager didn't say anything more and simply walked out.

On the other side, Noo Kanta, the president of JC Company, was also looking at the event schedule.

"This can be considered the first contact, right?" he said with a smile. "I'm looking forward to seeing how these newborns are defeated by Miya and unable to regain their confidence in the future. They'll find that they have no one to support them."

After saying that, Noo Kanta casually waved his hand: "Remember to promote it well, tell everyone that Miya is also going to participate in the Tokyo Fan Animation Fair, and make sure that the news is in everyone's sight!"

"Yes, President, I'll arrange it right away!"

Watching his colleagues leave to carry out his orders, Noo Kanta turned to look out the window, gazing at the sky and tall buildings, and let out a soft "ha."

The movie's effects were decent, but one movie alone isn't enough. In terms of effect, it was better than nothing. But after defeating Stardust Girl, they'll have to take down the newly formed Team 4.

Once Team 4 and Stardust Girl are defeated, and Stardust Girl is still the main representative of the new graduate students, and the new graduate students have not truly grown up, SKR will have no new people to use in the short term, so they can start to target the original ones.

……

"What? Pre-orders for the CD single are about to open?"

Miyamoto looked at the information that had suddenly been delivered to him, and stared at Hasegawa Subaru in disbelief.

Not only him, but Mika Komatsu and Miyu Nagayasu also looked at Subaru Hasegawa in surprise.

With several months still to go before the anime series is finished, the page for purchasing Stardust Girl's debut single CD has already been launched, and you can pre-order it now.

"This is what Ms. Amagai wanted to say. She said that since you've already been invited to participate in the performance, let's start pre-sales now. Seeing the support from your fans must give you a sense of strength," Subaru Hasegawa said. "These are her exact words."

Miyamoto thought carefully about the way Amagai Risa looked when she said those words; she must have been grinning wickedly!

What does it mean to feel empowered by the power of fans? It's more like seeing sales that are barely increasing, which makes people feel constant pressure!

"By the way, the recording of your single actually finished a long time ago," Subaru Hasegawa added.

Miyamoto was stunned. His brain raced as he tried to recall when he had participated in the recording of the single, but he just couldn't remember when.

“Wait a minute, could it be from when he was performing at the Tokyo Dome…” Mika Komatsu exclaimed at this moment, and her words made Subaru Hasegawa nod: “That’s right, it was recorded during that performance. Because the effect was very good, we recorded the sound directly.”

You guys are really bold, recording live like this... No, this is definitely Risa Amagai's doing, and only she would do something like this...

Miyamoto thought to himself, and then his guess was confirmed by the other party.

"This is also what Teacher Amagasa wanted to say."

Hearing Hasegawa Subaru's words, Miyamoto Sei tried hard to suppress the urge to roll his eyes.

"Alright, you guys keep training, I'm leaving now."

As Hasegawa Subaru left, Miyamoto Sei turned on his phone and entered the address of the pre-order website. Nagasu Miyu closed her eyes but then leaned closer.

"I...I can't bear to look..."

Mika Komatsu had a similar reaction; although she didn't cover her eyes, she still seemed hesitant.

"Let me take a look," Miyamoto muttered, opening the pre-order page.

Then, he made a sound of surprise.

"Eh?!"

"What's wrong?!"

"How, how is it?"

The former was Mika Komatsu, and the latter was Miyu Nagasu. Both of them became nervous because of Miyamoto Sei's surprised voice.

"There are already eight pre-orders!"

"There are already eight?"

"Wow, it's true! There really are eight pre-orders!"

The two looked at the screen, and next to the pre-ordered item, there was indeed the number 8.

Firstly, there was no promotion, and secondly, the website had only been up for a short time, less than a day, yet there were already eight pre-orders, which really surprised everyone.

Even though this webpage is a subpage of the SKR official website, this is still too much.

Generally speaking, unless it's an official post on the homepage, who would bother scrolling through it all the time...?

Unless you search for the latest products directly, this product is usually located towards the end of the search results.

However, while browsing, Miyamoto even saw a support fan with his own photo on it for sale, priced at 1000 yen.

Miyamoto even examined his makeup on the fan closely. From today's perspective, he found a few minor issues, but with his current makeup skills, he had already corrected them.
