I became a girl group idol for my sister.

[That's no ordinary noble family. Matilda's family has a history of being the Queen of Denmark, not to mention she also has British royal blood. Calling her a princess is perfectly acceptable!]

[The great Nana-chan has struck again! Who will fall at her feet this time? It's Princess Caroline Matilda, the beloved daughter of the Duke of Matilda and a descendant of the great Danish royal family!]

[I really didn't expect that Nana-chan would have no problems in America.]

[SKR's next goal is clearly to go global and bring true idol culture to the world, and the leader of this movement is Nana-chan! So she's the one who went to America this time!]

[I saw an interview where they said Princess Caroline's idol is Nana-chan, so Nana-chan's visit this time is also like a birthday gift.]

[Haha, Nana-chan becoming a birthday present, doesn't that sound so funny?]

[I really want to chat with the princess too, but she and Nana-chan have been chatting for ages! What should I do? I'm so envious of both of them!]

Alright, we can have new editing talent again! The new "All Nana-chan" series can start production quickly. I'm eagerly awaiting the new video. All you editing masters, hurry up!!!

[I want to see it too! Ahhh, please release it soon!]

I think there will probably be a new comic coming out. The comic convention is about to start, right? Maybe there will be a new comic to see this time!

……

"Sister Cai, could you help me with the training? There are some parts of this dance that I don't quite understand."

While shouting, I arrived at the dance studio and saw Aya Yamashita looking at her phone, which was showing the latest news about Nana Miyamoto.

"Aya is looking at Nana-chan's news again. She really cares about Nana-chan!"

“Because she’s also an AJS member, of course we have to care!” Yamashita Aya immediately said, and quickly put her phone away: “Alright, aren’t you going to train? Come on, show me how to jump first.”

"Oh, okay." The girl said while dancing, "Speaking of which, Aya-nee and Nana-chan took a bath together, right? Is Nana-chan's figure really as flat as it is in the magazines?"

Recalling the days she spent bathing in hot springs with Miyamoto Nana, Yamashita Aya's cheeks flushed slightly. She hummed in response but didn't give a detailed reply.

Seeing Yamashita Ai's blushing face, the girl teased, "Aya-nee, why are you blushing? Do you like Nana-chan?"

“Yes, everyone likes Nana-chan, right?” Yamashita Aya nodded. “DJH has become Nana-chan’s support group, and the vast majority of them are Nana-chan’s fans.”

"I know that. Apparently, when DJH was first established, many people liked Nana-chan. After Nana-chan took on a part-time role there, not only did the number of fans increase, but many people became even more enthusiastic."

After the girl finished speaking, she sighed, "But indeed, there is a difference between an ordinary person becoming a fan of an idol and an idol becoming a fan of another idol, or even between an idol in the same group becoming a fan of another idol."

Yamashita Ayaka asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Because the tasks are different. Although the girls in DJH are fans of Nana-chan, they also work hard in the general election. Even if their opponent is Nana-chan, they will bravely rush forward, not just based on numbers."

"Because everyone has their own fans behind them, how can they easily admit defeat?" Yamashita Aya said with a smile, "Alright, let's start training. In order for AJS to go further, we also have to work hard!"

……

Higashi Hisashi Ogiko glanced at the news and then put it aside.

"Wow, Nana-chan is amazing! She actually made the news with British nobles. That's a really big story in the entertainment industry!" Naoki Sakurako said with a grin. "She's successfully gained fame in Europe and America through entertainment gossip!"

“Yes, that’s right. Although she didn’t participate in any Western variety shows, the effect is almost the same as if she did.” Higashiku Seijiko said, “Combined with her past sword films, her movies are also quite well-known in Europe and America. It can be said that the start is very good.”

Naoki Sakurako nodded in agreement, and then became somewhat expectant: "If she can get a local movie in the US or participate in a Hollywood film, even if it's not a lead role, as long as she has a lot of screen time, she will have truly established herself in the US."

“There will be opportunities. As long as she performs in the United States, with her talent and hard work, such opportunities will come very soon.” Higashikuze Ogiko said, picking up the script beside her: “I’m going to go memorize the script too, what about you?”

“Of course we need to memorize it too. There’s another scene this afternoon, so I need to review it now.” Naoki Sakurako said, taking out her own script as well. The two smiled at each other and began their memorization.

……

For Miyamoto, this kind of news was no longer something he would pay attention to; it was just normal news reporting. After Caroline Matilda's birthday party, Miyamoto attended several parties with Komatsu Miyoko in the following days. These parties all had one thing in common: they were related to various celebrities.

He was just like an ordinary person following Miyoko Komatsu around. After attending several banquets in a row, Miyoko Komatsu finally asked him, "Do you feel anything different?"

"More freedom, more self-expression, instead of being bound by too many rules, it's a completely different feeling from Japan." Miyamoto Se said, then shook his head: "Sorry, I misspoke."

Miyoko Komatsu asked with a smile, "Did you say something wrong?"

“Yes, I misspoke.” Miyamoto nodded. “I should have said the rules of the Japanese idol industry, not the rules of the Japanese entertainment industry. In fact, depending on the performer, there are people in the entertainment industry who have a lot of rules to people who are extremely free. And the idols I work with happen to be the kind with a lot of rules.”

Miyoko Komatsu then asked, "So what came to mind? For example, how to develop in the United States?"

Miyamoto paused for a moment, then retorted, "I think considering these things should be Amagai-P's job."

He smiled and said, "But I think she'll probably ask me similar questions, so I'll think about my answers now."

Miyoko Komatsu said, "Well, I'm also looking forward to what kind of answer you'll give me. After all, besides living in the United States for a long time, I'm actually considered a veteran idol in Japan. Of course, there weren't as many rules back then, and I had my own thoughts on that."

Miyamoto organized his thoughts, sorting out the various ideas that were popping into his head, and then slowly said, "First of all, the rule of prohibiting dating cannot be changed. Changing it would only be a judgment against the original fans. It's not even a double standard; it's just a pure judgment."

"So even in the United States, SKR has to be a group with a lot of rules. We are idols after all, we interact with our fans, we get encouragement from our fans, and we encourage our fans. It's a relationship of mutual support, and the rules are actually protecting both sides. This point cannot be crossed."

Miyoko Komatsu looked at Miyamoto Sei, but she didn't say anything, neither refuting nor agreeing.

Miyamoto continued, "From another perspective, we should change some of our performance styles, or add some Western elements. I've said before that we could try doing heavy metal music. SKR has almost no experience in this area, but if we want to get closer to Western music, SKR has had some rock-related experiences."

At this point, Miyamoto smiled slightly: "Incorporating a little more rock and seeing if we can create SKR's unique heavy metal music in the future is a good choice. Sometimes we have to admit that the shouts of heavy metal can better express emotions."

"You mean, you're going to expand the range of track types for SKR?"

“Yes, that’s what I mean,” Miyamoto said.

Miyoko Komatsu smiled and nodded gently.

“I was worried that you would break the rules that bind you because of the environment here in the United States. I didn’t expect you to ask to keep them. Although breaking the rules is not entirely bad, as a woman, I hope that you can all date even when you are idols. But from the perspective of being responsible to the fans, I can only oppose it.”

Miyamoto Se also laughed: "From the very beginning, when I chose to become an SKR idol, it was equivalent to accepting this rule. Even if all my fans support me in dating, we will not date while we are still idols."

"SKR's idol has his own principles, and these principles will not change even if he goes to America, Britain, or Italy and France!"

Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Songstress of Avex (Avex)

Miyamoto returned to Japan, since his main market is still Japan, and it's already late December, with the New Year just around the corner.

So he suddenly became busy again.

“Speaking of which, it’s almost your fourth New Year since joining SKR,” Miyamoto Rina said to her younger brother beside her.

Today, Miyamoto Sei unusually returned home, and his explanation for this was quite simple.

"I feel like I'll be very busy for a while, extremely busy, so I took advantage of the time I still have to rest and came back to check on things."

Rina Miyamoto looked quietly at her younger brother and smiled, "Is it because we're going to perform at the Kohaku Uta Gassen?"

When she asked that question, Rina Miyamoto felt conflicted. She was worried, but she was also very proud. The Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Song Battle) is arguably the biggest TV show in Japan, and those who can participate are very accomplished and have a high social status.

Then, her younger brother will be attending the party, and he will be part of one of the participating groups, and he will be the leader of that group!

A boy dressed as a girl not only became the pinnacle of a girl group idol, but now he's going to participate in a top-tier Japanese gala. If this were to get out, probably no one would believe it, and they might even jokingly say it's some kind of manga plot.

“It’s not just because of Kohaku Uta Gassen, or rather, Kohaku Uta Gassen is just the beginning…” Miyamoto hesitated for a moment before saying, “Besides my work in Japan, I also have to go to the United States. Although it seems like I have more time to rest, I’ll actually be spending most of that time on airplanes…”

Rina Miyamoto laughed: "That's what idols are like, especially the more famous they are. They hardly have any time to rest... I used to wonder if I could handle it if I became famous, but I never expected that you would be the one experiencing this."

Then she asked, "Is it time to start developing fully in the United States?"

“SKR’s development in Japan has reached a bottleneck. Although they can gain more fans if they continue to develop, the speed of development is no longer comparable to that of the past.”

While thinking, Miyamoto said, "Going to Europe and America to develop now can not only ensure that we can establish a foundation there, see which style suits Europe and America, and expand our fan base there, but also continue to increase our fans in China. It's a win-win situation."

“People who don’t know you would think you’re a staff member in charge of SKR’s development now, rather than an idol performing on stage,” Rina Miyamoto said. “But it’s good, the more you learn now, the more control you will have over your life in the future.”

"Is this considered experience?"

"Yes, this can be considered experience. Did you think of all this when you went to the United States?"

"Well, I had thought about it a lot before, but after going to the United States and attending a lot of parties hosted by big-name American idols, these thoughts became clearer and clearer." Miyamoto said, then sighed, "And in the beginning, I was the only one in Europe and America, so I really needed to think about it myself, since I was the only one on the front lines."

“So, I actually have a feeling,” Miyamoto Rina said, “that Risa Amagai doesn’t want you to become an SKR employee in the future, does she?”

“Me?!” Miyamoto pointed to herself, then shook her head: “No, I don’t think so, it’s not that serious. At most, she just thinks that if I develop in the United States, I need to make some judgments myself. Besides, her philosophy is that we should learn things at SKR and then graduate and go out on our own. So it’s normal for me to learn these things.”

At this point, Miyamoto even started giving examples: "For instance, both Minami-senpai and Sakura-senpai have experience planning and organizing events, and many others have as well."

Rina Miyamoto said, "Is that so?"

That being said, Rina Miyamoto still held her own opinion. From another perspective, the various training programs that Risa Amagai put on her younger brother were essentially those of a producer plus a songwriter. If you had to put it another way, they were creating a clone of Risa Amagai.

Rina Miyamoto was very pleased with this situation, as these were valuable experiences that could not be learned in school and could only be gained through work. Moreover, such experiences, which were almost exclusively available to management, were very difficult to obtain. Now, her younger brother could easily acquire these experiences, which was wonderful.

After all, this is not just experience from Japan, but also experience from traveling all the way to the United States to analyze the European and American markets. Even if Miyamoto Se graduates in the future, stops being an idol, and can no longer use the identity of Miyamoto Nana, this experience will still be of great use and can produce its own effects in various jobs!

"Speaking of which, what's the story with that Princess Caroline?" Miyamoto Rina suddenly asked.

Miyamoto was taken aback: "He's just a fan, what's wrong?"

Rina Miyamoto said with a grin, "It's nothing, I just think this princess is too enthusiastic. And I saw the news, everyone online is discussing whether this princess likes you."

"Well, that's a matter for the fans, it has nothing to do with me. After all, they really like to create CP pairings, all sorts of pairings, and they even like to create their own 'Shura Field' scenarios." Miyamoto muttered, "But it's quite common, so don't worry about it."

"Really? What do you think of Ogiko-chan?" Miyamoto Rina continued to ask.

Miyamoto seemed a little confused: "Ogiko-senpai and I are just senior and junior colleagues, plus we were co-stars from the last TV show, and we're just friends."

"Really? Just friends." Miyamoto Rina nodded with a smile, but the smile made Miyamoto Sei somewhat puzzled.

"Alright, I got it. Just keep working hard at SKR and strive to achieve that goal you mentioned: to be number one in the world!"

"Hehe, don't worry, sister, I will!"

……

"Ms. Tenbei, I must admit that Miyamoto Nana has extremely high talent, not only in dancing and singing, but also in management and planning. Your idea is correct. Since we want her to develop in Europe and America, let her analyze the European and American markets herself. She can indeed make very good judgments. Most importantly, she has a strong bottom line as an idol, which is extremely important to fans."
