I became a girl group idol for my sister.

Miyamoto said, "Um, Miyu-chan, I think we can actually be considered professional voice actors. Although the time we spent in class seemed like a crash course, we did come from a voice acting class. Even without a certificate, we've already voiced lead roles."

Mika Komatsu agreed: "Yes, we are indeed professional voice actors, it's just that this isn't our current profession. If you search Wikipedia, you'll find that besides idols, voice actors are also one of our professions."

"Eh? Really? Let me see!" Miyu Nagayasu exclaimed, then excitedly shouted again, "It's true! Besides being an idol, I'm also a voice actress! Eh? Nana-chan is also an actress!"

"After all, she's acted in both movies and TV dramas, and in leading roles in both," Mika Komatsu said. "But don't worry, I'll be making my own TV drama or movie soon too!"

Miyamoto immediately replied, "Great! I'll buy tickets to see it!"

Miyu Nagasu chimed in, "I'll be there too, Mika-chan!"

Mika Komatsu laughed: "It's a deal, okay? If you don't go see it, I won't let you off the hook. I'll definitely fly over and make trouble for you!"

Miyamoto said, "Ah, I suddenly don't want to go anymore."

Mika Komatsu immediately shouted, "Why?!"

Miyamoto Sedo said, "Because you said you would fly over from America if you didn't go see it, so you came over even though you didn't go see it."

Miyu Nagasu immediately nodded: "That's right, Nana-chan is right. Suddenly I feel like I shouldn't go watch it!"

Mika Komatsu felt helpless: "You two, let me put it another way, I'll write a letter of protest later!"

Miyamoto immediately surrendered: "Then let's go read it. I have absolutely no interest in reading long letters, especially the kind that are meant to insult me."

Miyu Nagasu laughed: "Nana-chan, what you're saying will make Mika-chan sad."

"No way, okay!" Mika Komatsu said. "Besides, I'll call and protest. It's daytime in America, but nighttime in Japan. Just wait and get bombarded with my phone calls tonight!"

"Oh, right, I actually have a secret too!" Mika Komatsu suddenly lowered her voice, as if she was about to tell a secret: "Actually, I received a notice from Japan."

Miyamoto asked doubtfully, "Is it an advertisement?"

Miyu Nagasu also said, "Even though Mika-chan has graduated and gone to America, advertisers in Japan still hope that Mika-chan can run advertisements."

"Although I do have advertising-related work, that's not exactly a secret. The secret I'm talking about is something else!" Mika Komatsu said with a grin. "Actually, I've also received an invitation to do voice acting for game characters, so I'll be participating in your game project too!"

Miyamoto said in surprise, "So you already knew?!"

Mika Komatsu immediately replied proudly, "Yes, of course I already know, after all, I appeared as a hidden character!"

"Alright, let's move on to the fan Q&A session now," Miyamoto said. "A fan named 'jk万岁' wrote in asking if, now that Mika-chan has graduated, there's any chance the three members of Stardust Girl will ever perform together on stage again."

After reading it aloud, Miyamoto paused for a moment and said, "That's a good question."

“That is indeed a good question. In fact, we have discussed this question before,” Mika Komatsu said.

Miyu Nagasu immediately laughed: "Didn't we agree that even after graduation, Stardust Girl won't disband? So as long as we don't disband, we'll definitely have the chance to perform together again in the future!"

“That’s right, that’s how it is. Either Miyu and I will go to America, or Mika will come to Japan from America!” Miyamoto said. “As long as the itinerary is arranged well and the venue is confirmed in advance, there shouldn’t be any problems!”

"You're right, I will definitely make time to participate in Stardust Girl's performances, so please don't worry about that!" Mika Komatsu said.

The resumption of Stardust Girl's radio broadcast made everyone who was listening to the radio very happy. At first, because of Mika Komatsu's graduation and the fact that the radio had not been broadcast for a long time, everyone thought that the program might have been canceled, and there were even rumors that it had been canceled.

But with today's program, this rumor has been debunked!

Fans were delighted to see the three chatting with each other again on the radio, and SKR took the opportunity to promote their new game while the broadcast was filled with news about the game.

[Haha, my belief was right after all, Stardust Girl really didn't disband!]

Although Stardust Girl is a small stream branching off from the great river of SKR, Stardust Girl is now independent. From now on, SKR is SKR, and Stardust Girl is Stardust Girl!

Speaking of which, aren't the members of Stardust Girl essentially from different agencies? Their work schedules will probably be quite difficult. Aside from the Wednesday radio show, which they can manage, I think it will be tough, especially stage performances. I think having even one stage performance a year would be incredibly impressive.

[I'd be willing to do it even once every two or three years, let alone once a year, as long as it's released!]

[Speaking of which, what do you guys think of that new game, "Heartbeat Guide: Fall in Love with the SKR Girl!"? I've seen a lot of people on gaming forums saying it's going to be a terrible game.]

They're right, it's probably a terrible game in terms of playability, but that won't stop me from buying it! Not only will I buy it, I'll buy three copies at once! One to play, one to look at, and one to collect!

[Damn it, where's the proselytizing part?!]

[Proselying? Then naturally, it's done through music!]

Actually, I don't think it's a bad game. First of all, as a dating sim, and especially since it's a real-life idol romance, there are bound to be no special storylines. This saves a lot of unnecessary content, and what's left are just normal interactive scenes. This time, the official announcement said that everyone has enough storylines, and even one person was given three different endings.

From this perspective, there must be a lot of copywriting involved. The copywriting is mainly for writing the characters better. These girls are all real people, so the character settings are definitely designed according to reality. Then, the plot is written based on these character settings, which will definitely make the characters more well-rounded.

With well-developed characters, the plot can be well-written. From a creative perspective, more developed characters allow the plot to develop naturally, potentially making it a good idol romance novel.

[A novel? Isn't it a game?]

[A story-driven romance game, presumably focused on narrative, unfolds different stories depending on the player's choices. Each character has three endings, and even though the three storylines for a single character may share many plot points, the content will still be vast. Think of it as reading 49 different short romance stories.]

[Got it, it's just official fan fiction, something for us to dream about!]

[Any experts here who can predict sales figures?]

I think it could break one million!

[Don't dream about it. A million is too difficult. The current gaming environment is very harsh on dating sims. A good dating sim might sell for around 200,000, since players nowadays focus more on gameplay. Do you think it's Monster Hunter? It easily makes a million. If we consider SKR's appeal, I estimate around 500,000.]

[Five hundred thousand? I remember that "If You Fall in Love with SKR1/48" sold over four hundred thousand copies. So many years have passed, and it's only increased by one hundred thousand?]

[Don't forget, there used to be a group like Ogiko-chan, Sakura-chan, and Koga. Now so many people have graduated all at once. Even if Nana-chan and the others are amazing, most of them are still from the next generation, so it will definitely have an impact. I calculated all of this, which is why I estimated it could reach around 500,000, but that's already an overestimate.]

[That makes sense. If we put the current group in a year, how far do you think they could go?]

[If the timeline were postponed by a year and the number of participants remained the same, I think the sales might actually reach a million. It's still too early now, with so many people graduating at once. If the planning and release were done after the final selection this year, it would definitely be a huge success!]

[I suddenly understand the significance of doing this. The real purpose of this game is probably not to make money... The real purpose of this game is to help everyone get to know the new generation of idols better and faster. It's a fair form of promotion for all current members, and it's through this kind of promotion that people build an impression of the idols.]

[Not only that, if this game is well-made, it can expand the fanbase, bringing SKR to the attention of players who usually only pay attention to the game. Even if only 10,000 game players are converted into fans, these players will gradually expand their fanbase to include other players! There are actually many potential romance game enthusiasts. If given enough time and the game is good enough, it might be able to develop hundreds of thousands of fans in the gaming world!]

[You can't calculate it that way. You also need to remove the inevitable duplicate audiences. But adding tens of thousands more people in the end is still possible, provided the game is good enough. Like the guy mentioned earlier, it doesn't have to be incredibly good gameplay, but the story needs to be good. If the story is engaging, then it's a great success for a dating sim!]

Looking at the online discussions, Risa Tenbei smiled and muttered to herself, "This time the plot is fine. The project was written like a novel, not a game, and several people were involved in the review process."

As she spoke, she picked up her phone and made a call.

Soon, a somewhat languid voice came from the other end of the phone: "Tempe P, I'm sleeping..."

"Miyamoto, what are your thoughts on this game?"

"Games? I don't have much of an opinion. As long as the story is good, the gameplay can indeed be ignored, since it's just a word game after all," Miyamoto said.

“Well, that’s perfect. Here’s a task for you.” Risa Tenbei smiled. “Write a romance story about yourself, around 30,000 words, with four to five events, and then send it to me.”

"What?!" Miyamoto Sei's sleepiness vanished instantly.

"I'll give you six days to write it and send it to me," said Tambirisa. "After all, you know yourself best. Write it down and let me see it so I can refer to it."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone, leaving Miyamoto Sei lying on the bed looking completely bewildered.

Chapter Seventy-Five: American Brokers

Miyamoto stared at the computer screen in front of him, which already contained several thousand words.

"I actually really enjoy lying down at night and looking at the starry sky. Whether it's moonlight or starlight, it brings me inner peace..."

Miyamoto slowly read aloud what was written on it, yawned, and then deleted and edited, reducing the amount of writing by about a third.

He then added some more content, and in the end, the content that was completely retained was about three-quarters of the original.

After taking care of all that, Miyamoto breathed a sigh of relief and stretched.

Four events were planned in total, and one of them has been completed.

There are three events remaining. You need to continuously increase the intensity of these events before you can finally achieve complete success.

Miyamoto looked at the outline he had written, as well as the detailed outlines below it. The detailed outline for the first incident was about three hundred words long, while the detailed outlines for the remaining three incidents had not yet been formally developed, each containing less than fifty words.

"Tempai-P really knows how to give me trouble... It's already embarrassing enough to do voice acting for a live-action dating sim, and now she wants me to write a guide for myself. What is she thinking?" Miyamoto muttered to herself as she began to expand on the outline of the second incident, creating a more detailed setting.

Although he felt embarrassed, it was his job, so he had no choice but to do it.

Time passed slowly, and when he finished setting up the second event, he checked the time and it was already one in the morning.

"Never mind, I'll just go to sleep..." Miyamoto muttered to himself, slowly walking towards his bed.

Then, she collapsed onto the bed, instinctively grabbing the blanket and pulling it over herself before quickly falling asleep.

……

The next day, at the agency, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka asked Ayane Sakura, "Sakura-san, what do you think of these idols?"

The two were not very close, maintaining a distance of about one meter.

Sakura Ayane thought for a moment and said, "It feels amazing. It really has a lively and powerful vibe."

“Yes, I was really impressed by how amazing these people were when we worked together last time. They were so busy, yet they still managed to complete their voice acting school courses and did such a great job dubbing anime.” Matsuoka Yoshitsugu said, “Looking at them makes me feel like I have to work harder too.”

Ayane Sakura said, "However, their course is very short, only two weeks long, and the class time is only two hours a day, so there's not much to learn..."

Yoshitsugu Matsuoka wasn't worried: "There's no need to worry. After all, the characters they're voicing are themselves, which does save a lot of time. The most important thing is learning how to put emotion into the voice acting."

Ayane Sakura nodded: "That's right, that's exactly how it is."

Just then, a lively voice suddenly rang out.

"Matsuoka-senpai! Sakura-senpai!"

The two looked over and saw that the person walking towards them was Saori Onishi, who had just graduated from school not long ago and had already joined the same agency as them.

As she walked over, she asked curiously, "I heard that you're going to SKR to teach voice acting techniques these days, is that true?"
