I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"Yes, we've only arranged the types of dances, and then we'll match the music according to the types of dances. We'll just film it then." The director nodded, indicating that he had already made preparations. The music chosen was also different for the different types of dances required in the script.

"By the way, Ms. Miyamoto, there's something we need to pay attention to here." The director suddenly pointed to a scene where a line of dialogue was being filmed: "When you're smiling and looking forward here, your gaze should be slightly downward, because the protagonist was still a child at that time. So please film this scene as if you were smiling at a child."

"Because I saw a dance that left a deep impression on me when I was a child, I also embarked on the path of dancing. So the role I played in the film is a kind of guide."

"Yes, that's right." The director said, then pointed to the last part: "For this part, please look at it with the same eyes you would use to look at a teenager or young adult who has grown up. These two points are the most difficult part. Everything else should be fine."

“Okay, I understand.” Miyamoto took the script and looked at it carefully again. “Please give me about ten minutes so I can memorize all of this.”

This surprised the director: "Only ten minutes?"

"Yes, ten minutes is enough." Miyamoto nodded with a smile: "There's not much content; you can memorize it all in ten minutes."

Ten minutes is indeed enough to memorize everything, and he can even use that time to do other things: "If possible, could you let me hear some of the music you've prepared? I can choreograph a dance based on the music."

"Is that so? That's great." The director immediately called over someone: "Have the three pieces of music you prepared played for Ms. Miyamoto."

“Okay, Miss Miyamoto, please come with me!” the person said immediately, leading Miyamoto to another place, which was the recording location, and of course, the audio was also processed there.

As the man led the way, he chatted excitedly with Miyamoto Sei.

"Congratulations on winning first place in the overall selection, Ms. Miyamoto!"

His voice sounded somewhat excited, and his eyes kept glancing towards Miyamoto Sei, but he would quickly look away again.

"Thank you. I was able to win the championship because of the support of my fans," Miyamoto said softly, following the man.

"If it's possible, could you sign my autograph in a bit?" the person said, sounding very nervous. Clearly, he was a fan of Miyamoto Sei.

“Sure.” Miyamoto nodded without any hesitation: “Just give me the pen and things to sign later.”

"That's fantastic!" Upon hearing Miyamoto's reply, the man was so happy he almost jumped up.

After bringing Miyamoto to the recording studio, he immediately picked up a pen from his desk and then a sketchbook, handing them to Miyamoto: "Please sign here!" Miyamoto took the sketchbook, and after opening the cover, he found some drawings inside, indicating that the other person was a person who enjoyed drawing.

After signing the inside of the cover and returning the item to the other party, the other party happily and carefully put the sketchbook away.

Then, he took out three CDs of music and handed them to Miyamoto.

"These are the three songs. Do you need a player, Miss Miyamoto?"

"Just send it to my phone, I'll listen to it on my phone in a bit," Miyamoto said, asking the other party to send the MP3 file to his phone before leaving the recording studio.

After quickly memorizing his lines, Miyamoto Sei started listening to the music. Although there were three songs, they were actually quite similar in style. As he listened to the music and looked at the dance styles he was given to choose from on the script, he began to ponder.

As expected, the songs are all on the more intense side, and while several different dance styles were provided, street dance is the most suitable...

Is this Kamen Rider series going to feature another dance battle?

I hope we don't end up with something like, "Stop fighting!"

Or, to put it another way, there's an awkward dance before transforming and then fighting, or after transforming and unleashing a move, there's an awkward dance after death, and then the power of the move is increased several times over.

Hmm, it shouldn't be that bad. No matter what, the director wouldn't be that mentally unstable. This is Kamen Rider, not Super Sentai...

After silently complaining to himself, Miyamoto started choreographing from a street dance perspective. He quickly choreographed a dance, and the whole process took less than half an hour.

Less than ten minutes were spent memorizing; the rest of the time was spent listening to music and choreography.

However, since it was improvised, I still need to let others see the effect.

The director brought several people, including the screenwriter, to watch Miyamoto Sei's performance.

Besides the desire to watch idol performances, another reason is that one person might not be able to see the problems, so it's natural to find a few people to watch together.

Watching the girl standing in front of them dance to the rousing music, her movements were different from the usual idol dances; they were extremely powerful, which surprised everyone.

So girl group idols can dance at this level?

"That was a fantastic jump!"

"That's right, absolutely fantastic!"

"It's so powerful, it's a perfect match for the script!"

"I was even thinking about whether to find a dance teacher to help with the choreography, but it seems my worries were unnecessary; it's completely unnecessary!"

The director seemed very proud of these people: "You haven't seen her dance in the park. She choreographs and performs on the spot based on the requests of the onlookers. And those onlookers have a lot of requests, requesting many different dance styles, so there's absolutely no need to worry about that!"

"Director, you've been to see it?" The people around the director looked at him with some surprise.

"I didn't go to the event, but I watched the videos that were posted. Someone who went to the event filmed it and then posted it. She herself also posted it. Besides being an idol, she is also a very famous dance content creator on YouTube!"

"She's still one of the most popular streamers on Clover."

"The top streamers on Clover are all from SKR, right? With SKR joining, the number of users on Clover has increased a lot. It became the most downloaded mobile app recently, and many of the smaller streamers on it have also benefited a lot."

The director, too lazy to attend to the conversation among the group, shouted at Miyamoto Sei: "Ms. Miyamoto, there's nothing wrong with the choreography, just keep dancing like this, so when do we start filming?"

"We can do it now, whenever everyone is free!" Miyamoto said quickly.

If she finishes filming now, she can go back today. If she doesn't finish filming today, then she'll have to see when she's free to come back tomorrow or the day after.

So deep down, he hoped the filming could be finished quickly.

"Now? Absolutely, I'm free!"

As soon as the director spoke, he immediately began arranging the crew to start filming the scenes related to Miyamoto Nana.

……

Nanase Touka wrote the lyrics she wanted to write in just two days, and then she placed the lyrics on Amagai Risa's desk.

Looking at what the girl had written, Amagai Risa looked at her with some surprise, then a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Are you really planning to sing these things as lyrics?"

"Yes, we always have to face it. I used to be afraid of nothing, but after being with Nana-senpai, I gradually understood some things. Sometimes, running away is useless because I can't escape this kind of thing. It's always with me. So, I should just face it."

Nanase Touka spoke slowly, her tone firm and earnest.

“I have faced it, but only briefly. Now I will stand completely before it, without any hesitation, and without fear of anyone knowing!”

"And there's also the reason why this kind of content can generate a greater response," Risa Amagai said, looking at the other person and offering more reasons.

"Yes, that's what I think. This can attract more people!" Nanase Touka didn't hide anything and nodded directly, acknowledging the validity of the statement.

“That’s reasonable. I originally thought there was no need to bring up these things and reopen old wounds, but since you brought it up yourself, let’s leave it at that. I’ll make some minor modifications, and you can go back and continue to familiarize yourself with the other two songs,” said Risa Tenbei.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Ms. Tenbei."

“Don’t be lazy. If you memorize both songs now, you’ll only need to memorize one when this song comes out.” Tambi Risa said, waving her hand: “Alright, you can go back now.”

"Ok."

Watching Nanase Touka leave, Amagai Risa looked once more at what the girl had written.

"The writing is still a bit immature, and the pacing isn't very good either..." she muttered to herself, then picked up her pen: "I'll polish it a little. There's been too much negative emotion, so some positive and uplifting elements are also necessary. I need to add some other things as well."

As she spoke, she quickly began making changes.

At the same time, she also contacted her collaborators, as it was necessary to make arrangements in advance to match the new song with music that matched its mood.

……

At the headquarters of TWS (Tokyo Wednesday TV People), the station's director, Yu Mita, did not look particularly pleased.

The TV station's ratings have been declining lately. As a privately owned TV station, it will be unable to continue operating if the ratings continue to drop. He doesn't know how he can face his deceased grandfather if the TV station, which his grandfather worked so hard to build, is to go under his watch.

"Don't you have any new ideas?!" he asked his subordinates. "We need to improve viewership ratings, whether it's variety shows or dramas, give me some ideas!"

"We've received a script that could be quite successful if it were made into a TV series," one of the staff members said quietly, raising his hand.

"What script? A TV series? A variety show?" Mita Yu asked immediately. The person was Fuyumichi Mirei, a recently hired employee. However, because the TV station was relatively small, she had come to attend the meeting even though she had only been there for a short time.

Of course, there's also the reason why Mita Yu hopes to learn some methods from the newcomers that the veterans haven't thought of.

"It's a short romantic comedy story, and if it were filmed, it would probably only have about ten episodes," she said softly.

"A short romance story of ten episodes or so? There are so many romance works on the market now, it's hard to stand out..." Someone immediately objected, and Mita Yu nodded in agreement: "That's right, the market is only so big, there are too many romance works."

“But this…” Fuyumichi Mirei hesitated for a moment, but still said it: “It’s about a love story between girls.”

The group of people were all taken aback.

"Between girls? You mean lesbians?"

"Yes."

"Would this be appealing?"

“Sure, if we can bring over a group that everyone already likes, we can directly gain their fan support!” Fuyumichi Mirei immediately said, “I’m a fan of idols, and there are many fans in idol groups who love shipping couples. If we can get a couple that everyone likes to play the main roles, then we can definitely attract a lot of people!”

Mirei Fuyumichi's words made everyone present fall into deep thought. Inviting famous actors was to use their popularity to gain attention.

Using popular couples as a selling point is a great form of advertising.

Mita Yu's eyes immediately lit up.

"I'm leaving this to you. Find me a list of suitable actors!"

Chapter Forty-Two: Human Favors

Mizuhara Chizuki was happily walking towards her workplace.

She is a very ambitious person, but no matter how ambitious she is, she never thought that she would be able to join SKR and become the manager of SKR's most popular idol.
