I became a girl group idol for my sister.

As for the newly released "Lucky Evening Chocolate," judging from the crowds gathered outside the record store, it's bound to be another chart-topping hit.

……

9 month 12 day.

Miyu Nagasu appeared very uneasy.

She took a deep breath, rinsed her face with cold water, then gently patted her face. Looking at herself in the mirror, a hint of panic was clearly visible in her eyes.

Today marks the first day of sales confirmation for the first time as the center of her first true cover single, rather than as the center of a B/W track, which is of great significance to her.

The performance of this piece also made her very worried. Although Miyamoto Nana was performing as the center, she was still very nervous at the moment.

"Phew... Calm down. I finally got to stand on the stage with Nana-chan, and side by side. I can't let this happen!" Miyu Nagayasu muttered to herself, then took out her phone and opened the relevant website.

The credibility rankings have definitely been updated.

Yongan Meixi opened the list and tried hard not to close her eyes, looking at the screen.

Upon seeing the list, Miyu Nagayasu first breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the numbers, and her breath caught in her throat for a moment.

She rubbed her eyes and then looked at them carefully again.

I'm sure I didn't misread it; the numbers really haven't changed at all!

Even so, Miyu Nagasu couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise and uncertainty.

"Am I...am I dreaming?!"

Just then, the phone rang. It was Miyamoto Nana calling. She quickly pressed the answer button and gently placed the phone to her ear.

"Miyu, have you seen it? The Oricon charts!" The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with excitement from Miyamoto Nana: "Lucky Evening Chocolate sold 146.9 million copies on its first day!"

"Yes, I saw it. The first-day sales reached such a high level..." Miyu Nagasu quickly added. The first-day sales of 146.9 million directly broke SKR's own internal first-day record, not to mention that this achievement is considered an exaggerated level even in the history of Oricon charts.

Miyamoto Sei's voice continued to come from the other end of the phone.

"Maybe in the end, the total sales volume can break into the top 20 of the Oricon sales chart!"

Hearing this, Miyu Nagaan became even more excited. The goal was to break into the top 20 of the Oricon chart in total sales. As the chart calculates the total sales of all singles since its inception, none of the top 20 have sold less than 2 million copies. If she could really get into the top 20, it would mean that the total sales of "Lucky Evening Chocolate" had reached more than 2 million copies!

After all, some of these songs have been on the market for decades, and there are also songs by top artists such as Ayumi Hamasaki, Namie Amuro, and Hikaru Utada.

Even so, you can't see many works by just a few people in the top 20.

"Nana-chan, are you saying we can break into the top 20 of the Oricon All-Sales Chart?!"

"Well, there's still a chance. After all, the song's sales on its first day were really good. If there are no problems later on, it has a chance to enter the overall sales chart!" Miyamoto Nana said with a smile. "I think that maybe this song can break through 200 million sales by May or June next year."

"Hehe, you say that with such confidence, as expected of Nana-chan!" Miyu Nagayasu finally regained her composure and said with a smile, "Well then, Nana-chan, see you later!"

"Okay, see you at the theater later."

After hanging up the phone, Yongan Meixi happily tidied up and left the apartment.

……

Miyamoto Sei was not in an apartment or a theater at this moment; he was in a cemetery.

It was a tombstone that had been weathered by wind and rain, but it was clear that someone cleaned it regularly. The tombstone was inscribed with the words "Son Nakamura Yuma 2003.04.17-2017.06.09". His fan, the boy who wanted him to be selected for the general election, was sleeping here.

It's been a long time since I've been here. I took some time this morning to come here, just to say a few words to someone who is no longer here.

"I won the overall election! And the sales of the single that won the overall election were also quite good. The sales of subsequent singles even reached the highest level in SKR's history!"

Miyamoto said this in a relaxed tone, as if he were having a normal conversation. After he finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, put down the bouquet of flowers he was holding, and then turned and left.

The promise made back then has been fulfilled, and he has come to say goodbye to the boy. Now it's time to head to the theater.

……

Risa Tempelle's office.

Nanase Touka looked at the two pieces of music that the other party had given her.

The song sounded like a children's song, which made Nanase Touka a little puzzled: "This song... is it a bit too childish for me to join Team R, which is known for its cuteness?"

“It suits you quite well, doesn’t it?” Risa Tenbei said with a smile.

Nanase Touka didn't say anything and continued looking at another song.

This song is about love, and it's quite sweet, similar to the innocent feelings of a young girl.

Nanase Touka nodded in satisfaction.

"Just these two?"

"How many songs do you want?" Tambirisa asked with a smile. "These two were written especially for you. They will allow you to take advantage of your age. Besides, you should be very familiar with both children's songs and love songs."

Nanase Touka darted her eyes around after hearing this, but said nothing.

“Then you can take the music and leave. I will arrange the date for your solo debut,” said Risa Tenbe.

"Wait a minute!" Nanase Touka suddenly said, then fell silent again.

Risa Amagai looked at the other person and smiled, "Is there anything else?"

Nanase Touka did not answer immediately; her eyes showed hesitation. This hesitation aroused Amagai Risa's curiosity. She wanted to know why the other was hesitating and what she wanted to say to her.

The hesitation in Nanase Touka's eyes remained, but within that hesitation emerged a resolute determination, as if she had made a decision. After taking a few deep breaths, she said, "Could we add one more song?!"

Looking at the girl in front of her, Tenbei Risa was slightly surprised, not expecting that the other girl would ask her to add another song.

"Does one person sing three songs at once?" Tambirisa asked.

"I...I want to add another song, one I wrote myself..."

“Write your own lyrics? I don’t mean to be discouraging, but your level is still not good enough.” Amagai Risa said directly, which made Nanase Touka a little frustrated. However, Amagai Risa looked at the girl’s expression and changed her tone: “But it’s not that you can’t write them. You can write them and bring them to me, and I will revise them for you. As for who will be credited in the end, it will depend on the total amount of revisions.”

"Okay!" Nanase Touka nodded immediately, "Thank you, Amagai-sensei!"

“I’m just curious what you’ll write, but this will delay your solo debut for a while. After all, we need to work on the new music after confirming the lyrics, so the overall time will be pushed back by a few days, depending on when you send the lyrics over…” At this point, Risa Tenbei asked, “Is three days enough for you?”

"That's enough, I'll write the lyrics and send them over as soon as possible!"

"Hmm, very good, but this is your choice. I won't give you more training time, so instead of learning two songs, you'll need to learn three. This is your own choice, so think it over."

"I understand!" Nanase Touka nodded: "This is the only way to catch up with Nana-senpai!"

"Catch up with my senior?" Risa Amagai muttered to herself, then waved her hand: "Alright, you can go back now."

Watching Nanase Touka leave, Amagai Risa remained silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"I wonder what kind of work she will bring me. Will it be an emotional outburst from the heart of a young girl? Maybe a great work will be born!"

Outside, Nanase Touka, who had already left, walked down the corridor. She took a deep breath, clenching and unclenching her hands, which were not carrying the bag containing the plates, several times. After this, her eyes shifted from hesitation to determination, and became increasingly resolute.

At this moment, she finally made up her mind to do something that she had never dared to do before!

……

Miyamoto was unaware of what had happened to Nanase Touka; he was currently dealing with something else entirely, a notification from Toei Animation.

"So you want me to go for an interview?" Miyamoto asked his manager, Mizuhara Chizuki, with some surprise.

“It wasn’t an interview.” Mizuhara Chizuki shook her head, then looked at the contract again to make sure she hadn’t made a mistake: “It didn’t mention an interview. It was just that they wanted Ms. Miyamoto to participate in the filming of ‘Kamen Rider Taishogun.’ The production company said it was just a cameo role and wouldn’t take up too much of her time.”

"It's just a cameo, it won't take up too much time?" Miyamoto asked, somewhat puzzled. He was excited about being invited to participate in the filming of Kamen Rider, but he found it amazing that he didn't even need to go through an interview.

"They said the plot of the new drama is related to dancing and singing, so they hope that Ms. Miyamoto will participate in the role and play a character who doesn't have many scenes but has an impact on the main characters."

"Got it, a tool!" Miyamoto finally understood what was going on: "No wonder there's no need for an interview. As long as you establish a connection with the protagonist, such as appearing when the protagonist was a child and inspiring the protagonist to learn dance or save people in the future, that's considered completing the mission."

"It should be like this. The contract also states that the total shooting time of the different content will not exceed twenty minutes, and the salary will be calculated based on the number of episodes. The salary for one episode is 100 million. According to the contract, the content is divided into two episodes, so the total is 200 million."

"Will all the content about me be filmed in one go?"

"It seems they took into account that Ms. Miyamoto is too busy with work and it's difficult for her to find the time to film, so they fixed all the scenes with Ms. Miyamoto and filmed them all in one go," Mizuhara Chizuki said. "Should we confirm this again?"

"Okay, let's confirm. If it's really filmed all at once, then let's move on. I'm really interested in going to the Kamen Rider movie!" Miyamoto said with a smile. "But it seems like it's an unimportant role. It would be even better if I could participate in some movie or even get a role like the third rider."

"I think Nana-neechan would be better suited to playing a villain!" Watanabe Hikaru leaned in immediately, her eyes shining as she looked at Miyamoto Sei. "Nana-neechan would definitely be very popular if she played a villain. Besides, villains don't have to appear every day like the main characters. There are several villains, so they only need to appear once or twice!"

Upon seeing Watanabe Hikaru, Mizuhara Chizuki quickly greeted her, "Hello, Ms. Watanabe."

"Hey, Mizuhara-san, hello!" Watanabe Hikaru greeted her, then hugged Miyamoto Sei from behind. "How about we just suggest it to them?"

“Ms. Watanabe, this…” Mizuhara Chizuki began somewhat awkwardly. This was not a suggestion she could make, since it was already September, and the broadcast schedule for Kamen Rider seemed to be starting next month. There wasn’t much room for revisions in terms of timing.

“It’s alright. My focus is on SKR. It would be better if I were too busy there. When Tomomi-senpai and Naoko-chan participated in the Kamen Rider Detective, they only appeared a few times in so many episodes because they were too busy,” Miyamoto said. “Besides, they probably called me over this time to do some advertising. I just need to appear once or twice so they can announce that ‘Nana Miyamoto is in the show.’”

“Okay, I’ll go ask first!” Mizuhara Chizuki said, and immediately went out. Miyamoto Sei breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled happily: “I finally got the chance to participate in Kamen Rider, yay!”

Chapter 41: Search for a suitable actor

Miyamoto arrived at the filming location of "Kamen Rider Taishogun" in high spirits. It is said that this time the theme is related to fruit, such as transforming by relying on the power of fruit, which sounds very childlike.

"No need for contact with people? Just a green screen for the whole thing?" Miyamoto asked the director with some surprise as he looked at the script.

"Yes, a green screen will do. There are two scenes in total. If possible, can we finish filming today?" the director asked Miyamoto Sei.

Clearly, Miyamoto Sei's role in the TV series is merely a signboard tool for "Miyamoto Nana's participation," so once the green screen scene is finished today, she can leave without doing anything else.

Miyamoto was somewhat disappointed that he hadn't landed a major role after being offered a part in Kamen Rider, but he knew it was impossible in the short term because he was busy with SKR. He considered the current situation quite good.

"No problem. The content of the shoot happens to be all things I'm good at. As for the dance, I only need to specify the type of dance, but the specific content hasn't been arranged. You'll have to improvise, right?"
