I became a girl group idol for my sister.

The moment the music started, Nanase Touka froze. Not only was she stunned, but the audience below the stage was also stunned.

It's obvious that this song wasn't on today's setlist. Even if it were an encore, it should have been performed after the main show.

But why did it appear in the first song?

Despite their doubts, the crowd quickly began to shout along with the music.

Nanase Touka looked around nervously, trying to figure out if there was a mistake, but seeing that everyone looked calm, she could only try her best to calm herself down.

Even if you make a mistake, you must act as if you didn't make a mistake at all, and you absolutely cannot panic on stage!

She tried to think about it, and then she started to recall everything about the song.

Songs belonging to SKR, or rather, songs belonging to Team R of SKR.

"Original Intention"!

Miyamoto Sei believed that when the things described were highly relevant to one's own environment, the words used in the description would have a great impact on those present.

Now, he is increasingly certain of this guess.

"I stood on the stage I had longed for, facing the audience. Amidst the cheers and deafening applause, the rigorous training and overcoming my own barriers finally brought me this opportunity..."

"I used to be clumsy and couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and I cried my eyes out on the way home. I used to sing off-key and lose confidence, and could only feel depressed in secret..."

"I'm always afraid that I'm not good enough, while my opponent is perfect!"

The lyrics overlapped with her own experiences, and even if not every one of them corresponded perfectly, the more they overlapped, the stronger the impulse in her heart became. Nanase Touka was involuntarily drawn into the song, a feeling she had never experienced before!

Even though I've sung this song many times before, whether during live streams or in the dance studio, I've never felt this way before.

"Dreams are watered by sweat every day, gradually unfolding and blooming into a bright crown. Hard work will never easily betray you!"

I've been training hard every day, staying up until one or two in the morning, and I'm also working hard during the day. And now, all of that is showing at this moment!

"My dream is watered by my sweat every day, sprouting and growing. I still keep hoping that one day I will see my original wish come true!"

People were cheering and shouting to the rhythm of the music. No one was talking about themselves; they were just so excited.

Nanase Touka sang the lyrics aloud. At that moment, standing on the stage, she felt her body trembling. Perhaps she was also afraid, but she was sure that there was also happiness in it.

Tears did indeed stream down her face, but she tried her best to keep smiling.

Because she is very happy now, because at this moment, she has finally confirmed the idea in her heart: she wants to stand on the stage, to stand in this place!

Chapter 50 Let's go for barbecue tonight!

"Is that a newcomer over there?"

"Yes, she's a newcomer, replacing Saori-chan, but she danced really well!"

"There's still a slight sense of disconnect, but the atmosphere is such that it feels like she's completely immersed in the song!"

"I heard that there was a graduate student who came with Miyamoto Nana this time. She has never been on stage before, so this is her first time on stage. So, is that why she chose 'First Love'?"

"This is the power of unity among innocent people!"

"Hey, is she crying?"

"She cried, but she was still laughing; she cried while laughing!"

"Very good!"

"Come on!"

People showed their kindness in response to the girl's tears; clearly, at that moment, they acknowledged her sacrifice.

When the song ended, Nanase Touka was slightly out of breath. Although her usual training would not make her feel tired after just one dance, she felt as if she had used up all her strength during the performance.

"That was a fantastic jump!"

"Newcomers need to work hard!"

"So cute!"

Encouraging shouts rang in her ears, and the audience below waved their light sticks, shouting words of encouragement. Nanase Touka looked at those people in disbelief, at the smiles on their faces, at the fact that they were cheering for her. At that moment, she felt something inside her being ignited.

Is this what it feels like to be on stage?

Senior, did you feel similar when you first stepped onto the stage?

If it's a stage like this, I want to keep standing on it!

A smile graced the girl's face, and even the tears in her eyes could not conceal the joy in her heart.

Seeing the radiance on Nanase Touka's face, Miyamoto secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He saw Matsuda Jurina also smiling, and Matsuda Rena also smiling, as if they had foreseen this development.

Every girl has a seed of the desire to be the center of attention in her heart. The idea of ​​wanting to stand in the center of the stage will gradually grow and eventually blossom. Similarly, every girl has a seed in her heart that wants to stand on the stage, and now this seed has finally truly sprouted in Nanase Touka's heart.

Although we don't know what she went through in the past, at this moment, she relied on her own strength to take that step.

With the end of "First Heart", the real performance officially began. When the song that had been practiced for a long time finally started playing, Nanase Touka instantly understood what was going on. This song, "First Heart", was a gift from everyone to her!

Having figured this out, she couldn't help but shed tears again. But this wasn't the time to think about such things. Right now, all she could do was to immerse herself completely in the performance that followed. Only in this way could she succeed!

Let all the hard work of these past few days be displayed at this moment, just like the song "Original Aspiration" says!

Most of the audience members were longtime fans who had seen the performance many times, so they were all surprised when they saw Nanase Touka's performance.

"Is this really the level of a newcomer?"

"Although there are still some areas where they are not as good as the official members, in terms of skill level, they are better than many graduate students."

"What she lacks is stage experience, which is gained through performing on stage. In other aspects, she is already fully qualified, no, not just qualified, but in some aspects she can even be described as excellent!"

Some people even frowned when Nanase Touka sang her solo: "This voice sounds so familiar. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before? No, that's not right. Although it's very similar, the technique isn't as good as Touka's."

"She sings really well. This girl must be from SKR. In other words, is SKR about to produce another singing prodigy?"

These whispers reached Nanase Touka's ears. This was the advantage of a theater; a small theater could easily blend the world on stage with the world off stage. Hearing these voices, Nanase Touka's smile grew even brighter.

Someone recognized me as a broadcaster!

As for my singing skills, that's all thanks to my hard work learning under the guidance of my seniors recently. That's the result of my learning!

She thought that although the nervousness was still there, it had been suppressed by happiness and excitement. The fear of not daring to contact people seemed to have disappeared at this moment. Even with so many people watching and talking, she felt that there was nothing wrong with her. She could stand here and stand until the end!

A performance lasting over an hour would normally leave someone like her, who stays home all day, completely exhausted. But when the performance ended today, she was still standing, panting.

"Thank you all for coming to watch today. Now, I must introduce our new member, Fuyuka-chan!" Matsuda Jurina held the microphone at the front. Although she was only fourteen years old, she shouldered the responsibility of a senior and worked hard to give Nanase Fuyuka exposure: "Nanase Fuyuka is from Tokyo!"

Although Nanase Touka knew that there would likely be a speaking segment soon, she never expected it to happen so quickly. Holding the microphone, her face turned bright red.

"Um, um, um, hello everyone! I'm Nanase Fuyuka!"

He stammered and even almost bit his tongue. What should have been an embarrassing act instead caused a burst of laughter from the crowd below.

"Hahahaha!"

"so cute!"

"That's so embarrassing."

"Yes, don't be nervous, speak slowly, or you'll bite your tongue."

"Biting your tongue will affect your singing, right? Speak slower!"

Miyamoto Se then picked up the microphone: "Hmm, this is my junior. I won't stand for it if you bully her!"

"I didn't bully you!"

"We were all telling him to speak slowly."

"But Nana-chan, you don't usually bully your juniors, do you?"

"I heard that because Nana worked so hard, all the graduate students at the time followed her and worked extremely hard. Their daily training that year was like hellish training."

"Fuyu-chan, if Nana-chan bullies you, you have to tell her!"

"N-No, no, senpai didn't bully me! Although, although training is usually quite tough, and senpai would drag me into training when I wanted to sleep, you definitely didn't bully me..."

Nanase Fuyuka quickly said, perhaps because she was anxious, her speech became much faster and smoother: "If it weren't for you, senpai, I... I definitely wouldn't have been able to remember so many dances. I would definitely... I would definitely disappoint everyone..."

"Fuyuka is super hardworking. She trains with me every night until very late. Lately, she can only start to rest after 1 a.m. Of course, she looks very cute when she's asleep. Thinking about it this way, I feel like I've gotten a great deal, being able to see Fuyuka's cute appearance when she's asleep."

After Miyamoto finished speaking, he even let out a "heh heh".

"I really should have taken a picture and saved it!"

"senior!"

Nanase Touka's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.

"No, no taking pictures!"

The audience members watching the two talk also laughed.

"The atmosphere feels more relaxed now."

"Yes, it's much easier to talk now."

"It must have been a script prepared in advance, for the sake of the performance."
