I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"Don't you guys need a break? You were working on the construction site this morning, right? Today you have three performances to do."

"It's alright, I'm fine, not too tired," Miyamoto said, taking out his water glass and taking a couple of sips.

"I feel fine, and I should be able to handle the next two performances too," Miyuu Nagayasu said with a grin. She even raised her arm, saying, "I feel like I'm about to build some muscle."

Although her arms didn't change much with her movements.

Mika Komatsu casually replied, "I already rested at noon, so there shouldn't be any problem with the three performances this afternoon."

Despite saying that, the two of them still collapsed on the ground after the three performances ended.

Miyu Nagasu looked at Miyamoto Sei, who was still browsing her phone normally, and showed an envious expression.

"Nana-chan, how come you have such good stamina? We've been training together!"

“Just think of her as a monster. All her behavior right now can only be explained by that.” Mika Komatsu said, struggling to get up from the ground and leaning against the wall. “I feel like my body is screaming at me, saying, ‘Damn it, this is damn it!’”

“If you said that to your fans, it would definitely have a fantastic effect.” Miyamoto muttered to himself, then walked over and picked up Nagasu Miyu, placing her on a seat. “As for me, I’ve just recovered physically. I went through similar ordeals when I was a child.”

"Hehe." Perhaps because she was carried to her seat, Miyu Nagayasu chuckled, then asked with some curiosity, "Did you experience similar torment when you were a child?"

"My deceased grandfather wanted me to inherit the family's swordsmanship, so he forced me to learn it. I had to practice with a real sword every day and do other physical training. But later, as I went to school and my grandfather passed away, I became lazy and my body deteriorated."

Miyamoto said that, but he was certain of one thing: his physical strength was now greater than when he was training. He was too young back then to reach this level.

This is also thanks to more than a year of high-intensity training, plus the recent brick-moving activities, which have not only increased my physical fitness but also my strength.

"So, when Nana-chan was filming, she was so skilled with the katana because she learned swordsmanship?" Miyu asked with some surprise. "And you mean swordsmanship, specifically ancient-style swordsmanship? I've heard that nowadays only ancient-style swordsmanship is called swordsmanship."

"Yes, it's Koryu, otherwise he wouldn't have been forced to train with real katana and tachi since he was a child."

"Your style isn't going to be called Niten Ichi-ryu, is it?" Mika Komatsu teased from the side.

"Are you trying to say that I am a descendant of Miyamoto Musashi?" Miyamoto Sei shook his head: "Although I wish I were, it's a pity I'm not. Our school is called Miyamoto Tenshin-ryu, and it's not very famous."

"Indeed, I've never heard of it."

"Hmm, I've never heard of it."

Seeing the two whispering to each other, Miyamoto Sei also casually found a seat and sat down.

"Take a good rest for a while, go home later, and get a good rest tonight. You still need to rehearse tomorrow."

Hearing Miyamoto's words, Nagaan Miyu chuckled.

"What are you laughing at, Miyu?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I feel Nana-chan is quite a worrywart about others."

……

JC Company.

"Stardust Girl is going to participate in Stardust STA?!" Upon receiving this news, Noo Kanta narrowed his eyes, looked at the company member in front of him, and asked again, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I just got news from the Stardust STA production team that Stardust Girl has also been invited to attend rehearsals and will appear in the official program."

"Wait a minute, given Starlight STA's status, why would they invite such a relatively unknown idol group? Even if it were SKR, they should be inviting Team S or something!" Noo Kanta said, then suddenly realized something and asked, "Was it recommended by someone else?"

"It's said that the producer insisted on adding it, but the reason wasn't given."

"Was it the producer's insistence that it be added?" Noo Kanta pondered. "The producer of Starlight STA is Shinto Hiroshi. This old guy is not someone that ordinary people dare to mess with. The person who could get his help... is that old codger?"

"President, have you figured out who it is?"

"Who else could it be? The only guy I can think of who could get Shinto Hikaru to help is that old man, Kiyama Akira. But it doesn't make sense that Kiyama Akira would get Shinto Hikaru to give such a big opportunity to a few girls who aren't even official members..."

Noo Kanta muttered to himself, his eyes full of confusion.

"Weren't these all already abandoned by Ambellia? Could it be..."

Replaying the events of this period in his mind one by one, Noo Kanta put together all the content he had already analyzed and analyzed it again. This time, when he analyzed it from a comprehensive perspective, he finally discovered some things that he had not been able to discover before.

He immediately opened his computer webpage, typed in "Stardust Girl" and started searching. Looking at the results, his expression finally changed.

"Good heavens, is that really how it is?!"

"President, what's wrong?"

"That guy, Risa Tenbei, she did it on purpose. It seems like she's abandoned the members of Stardust Girl, but in reality, she's been giving them some support so that Stardust Girl doesn't really disappear. And fans will be unhappy with this cold treatment."

Noo Kanta slowly said:

"This may slow down the growth of Stardust Girl's fans, but looking at Stardust Girl's fan structure now, you will find that these fans are more united than ever before, and even these fans themselves have taken action, with a 'if you don't promote it, I will' attitude."

"This……"

"Do you think there's no hidden influence from Risa Amagai in this?" At this point, Kanta Noo snorted, "This time, even that old geezer Akira Himeyama was brought in to help. This isn't disliking them; they're being groomed as pillars of the family!"

"Don't you have any scandals or anything?" Miya asked casually from the side. "These girls probably have a lot of things they can't show to others, like photos with their boyfriends. Even if they don't have a boyfriend now, they probably have ex-boyfriends. Fans don't care if it's an ex-boyfriend or not."

"I had someone check, but there was nothing. Yongan Meixi has always been the best student in her class since she was a child, and she hardly interacts with anyone. Not to mention male friends, she doesn't even have many female friends. After high school, she went to an all-girls school, and there aren't even any photos of her close to men."

The commune members looked helpless.

"I couldn't find similar photos of Mika Komatsu. She is very careful about her privacy and never gets too close to men. Although she is not as aloof as Miyu Nagasu, it's as if she doesn't need to be in a relationship."

Kanta Noo and Miya both looked at the club member, waiting for him to say the next name, but he didn't speak.

Noo Kanta said somewhat impatiently, "Then there's one left!"

"As the core member, Miyamoto Nana is as if she doesn't exist. We can't find any information about her at all. We don't even know where she lives or who else is in her family. It's as if she just appeared out of thin air."

"They can't find any place to attack?"

Noo Kanta pondered for a moment, then looked at Miya.

"What do you think now? I've spent three billion on you, you're not going to be defeated by these country girls, are you?"

A flame ignited in Miya's eyes.

"What are you talking about, President! Ever since I passed the audition, I've locked myself in the training room to train myself, and I've never slacked off. How could I possibly lose to these guys?!"

She clenched her fists, looking very excited.

"I will tear them apart head-on and make them understand that there are insurmountable mountains in front of them on the road to becoming idols!"

Noo Kanta laughed: "Very good. Although my initial thought was to just get rid of these girls, even though they were abandoned by Amagai Risa, they are still the core of the current graduate students. If they are killed, it would be like ruining the graduate students."

"But now that we know they're not just the center of graduate students, but also the key figures being groomed by Risa Tenbei, then we absolutely have to eliminate them, completely shatter their confidence, make them afraid to stand on the idol stage again, and deprive SKR of their future pillar!"

……

An elderly man with gray hair was looking at a book while wearing reading glasses, with a cup of tea beside him.

"Grandpa, why did you let someone as relatively unknown as Stardust Girl appear on Stardust STA?"

The young granddaughter returned from university and was asking her grandfather questions.

This elderly man is Shindouki, the producer of Starlight STA.

"Because your grandfather thinks these young girls are very talented, so I thought I'd give them a chance," the old man said with a smile, putting down the book he was holding. "You finally decided to come back from the library."

“It’ll be too late if we don’t come back soon, and I’m not going to sleep in the library.” The granddaughter retorted, then became curious: “Grandpa, you don’t usually like to go out, how did you notice them? Did someone tell you about them?”

"Indeed, someone recommended them to me." Shindou Hiro admitted to his granddaughter's speculation: "It was Old Man Fei."

"It's Mr. Akira Hiyama?!" the girl exclaimed in surprise. "No wonder Grandpa let them go on stage."

"It's not just Akira Hiyama. Actually, when I was discussing things with Ms. Hanayagi, she also mentioned Nana Miyamoto from Stardust Girl to me. She really admires her."

"In addition, since Old Man Fei suggested that they perform on stage, I thought that since both of them recommended them, I would give them a chance."

Upon hearing this, the girl was utterly shocked.

How could a relatively unknown group receive recommendations from two masters in the entertainment industry at the same time? Could they be backed by some powerful and influential figure?

It's worth noting that Yoshiaki Hanayagi was a master of classical Japanese dance, while Akira Hiyama was a founder of modern Japanese entertainment; calling him a godfather wouldn't be an exaggeration!

Chapter Sixty-Seven Provocation

The theater at Starlight STA is a small theater that can accommodate 600 people, which is more than the capacity of SKR's theater, but it is definitely not much for a large-scale song and dance show, and can even be said to be small.

But the number of people at the scene is not a big deal, since for Star STA, the most important thing is the TV ratings.

"This is the program for this performance. Please take a look."

The staff handed the program to Miyamoto, who thanked them and then looked at it carefully.

Looking at the program list, Miyamoto was somewhat surprised.

Their performance was the fifth show, and right after them was GEM, where Miya was. This arrangement gave him a strange feeling that Stardust Girl and GEM were going head-to-head.

Hopefully, the other side doesn't think that way.

Miyamoto thought to himself silently.

“We were also in the fifth show last time, but we ended up being moved to the first show. I always feel that the number five is a bit unlucky.” Mika Komatsu said, putting away the program schedule. With her memory, she could memorize it very well after just a few glances.

“It doesn’t have to be like this every time, right? I think we can definitely perform in the fifth show this time.” Miyu Nagasu smiled, her eyes carefully looking at the contents of the form: “Our time is five minutes, which is just enough for one song plus some time for interaction.”

“Yes, that’s right. After our performance, it’ll be commercial break, and after that, GEM will be on stage to perform,” Miyamoto said. “Looks like we’re the grand finale of the first half.”

After confirming their time, session, and other information, the three began to make arrangements based on the size of the stage. The dance moves and other elements were not simply something that could be learned directly; often, they needed to be modified according to the factors on site.

For example, the location of the person standing needs to be considered, otherwise accidents may occur due to the venue.
