I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"I don't know how you reached that state back then. You must have done a lot of self-hypnosis in your mind to achieve such an effect."

"As expected of the serious senior, Minami. I really need to work harder too, since I still have to film a movie later, and I'll be filming it with Miyu. It's a detective mystery, so the audience's expectations will probably be higher than for a typical romance drama."

While sighing, Miyamoto worked hard to complete the game. Finally, after 1 a.m., he reluctantly turned off his PS Vita, brushed his teeth, washed up, and crawled into bed.

Games are wonderful, but unfortunately reality is cruel. In reality, you can't chase after idols, and you even have to work as an idol.

Chapter 85 Game Live Streaming

"That's amazing! Half a million! The game actually sold half a million copies!" Inside the theater, Sakagami Minami was cheering, and everyone around her was also very happy.

With 500,000 units sold on the first day, this is an extremely impressive achievement. Generally speaking, dating games don't even reach this level of total sales.

“However, judging from our single sales performance, it will be difficult to improve from here on out. Generally speaking, 80% of the sales are sold on the first day. Once the first day’s results are out, you can pretty much guess what will happen next,” said Shiigan Minami.

This prompted Watanabe Hikaru's rebuttal: "You can't say that about games."

As an otaku who loves watching anime and playing games, Watanabe Hikaru said to Shiigishi Minami, who was looking at him curiously, "Besides the players who bought the game at the beginning, there will also be a reputation issue later on, because many players will be watching and waiting for feedback from those who have bought the game."

Miyamoto added, "Yes, Hikari-chan is right. Players will wait for feedback, and they make up a large portion of that. Well, I mean, for a series that's just starting out, most of the players are just observing. Generally speaking, after two or three installments, the player base for this series will be more or less fixed, and then we'll see a situation similar to when we sell singles."

"Huh? Is that so? But this is the third installment, right? After all, there have already been one and two installments before," said Shiigishi Minami.

Hearing this, Miyamoto shook his head with a smile: "It won't have much of an impact. Actually, this should be considered a new work. And because of SKR, many players probably don't have any impression of SKR's games. So, this is a very important stage. As long as the game is good enough, it will definitely greatly increase sales."

At this point, Miyamoto raised his finger and wagged it: "After all, you have to understand that there are very few dating games in the industry right now, because they are really difficult to make, and our game is now opening up this market."

"It seems Nana-neechan is very confident in this game!" Watanabe Hikaru walked over and hugged Miyamoto Sei, grinning as she said, "I played it last night, and it's really great! Even though we created it ourselves, it still feels amazing!"

"I played it too! I even bought a PS Vita because of it!"

"Haha, so the recent increase in PS Vita sales is partly your fault?"

A group of people laughed and giggled. Miyamoto Se also nodded: "I played it too. The pairings are really great, and the story is also very good. It's like reading a romance novel where you can make choices. For fans, it's a great game, and for non-fans, it's also a game that you can choose from."

Miyu Nagasu didn't say anything, but she was thinking about other things.

I played the game last night, and Nana-chan's voice acting was truly amazing! No wonder she's acted in dramas and movies; the way she voiced it, and the trembling feeling, made it feel like I was really in love with Nana-chan...

This is so exciting! And the plot is amazing, it feels like it was created entirely based on Nana-chan. The scriptwriter is truly amazing!

Just like Nana-chan said, this game will definitely get a good reputation!

Thinking of this, she felt her heart race, which made her take a deep breath and suppress the scenes she had witnessed last night.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and Subaru Hasegawa walked in. He looked at everyone and said, "Ah, you're all here. That's perfect. Let me tell you something."

Everyone immediately looked at him, and Miyamoto even asked, "Mr. Hasegawa, what is it?"

“You should call me the Dominator here!” he reminded Miyamoto Sei, then sighed, “Fine, whatever.”

Now that these people have been working with him for so many years, they are naturally not as strict as they were at the beginning.

Subaru Hasegawa said, "You can also stream the game during your live streams. I bet some of you bought the game, right?"

“I bought it,” Miyamoto said.

"I bought one too!"

"I bought it!"

Several more people raised their hands.

Seeing that about half of the people had bought the game, Subaru Hasegawa nodded: "Whatever you want to stream is up to you, but it would be nice to stream the game."

Then, he looked at Miyamoto: "Miyamoto, you can also do more live streams, understand?"

Miyamoto raised an eyebrow: "Is this what Tenbei P means?"

Subaru Hasegawa coughed slightly: "Yes."

He's definitely a cunning old fox; he really knows how to exploit fans' fantasies. But it's true, playing this game during a live stream, especially as a participant, could generate a lot of buzz. However, that would mean I'd have to stream a walkthrough of everyone, otherwise, who knows...

Most importantly, the order in which people are chosen becomes a problem, since those people will definitely argue about who should go first and who should go last.

Ah, I've got it! It's related to encountering different people and the initial choices. So, we can just draw lots during the initial selection process, and then the fans won't have anything to say!

"I understand." Miyamoto nodded.

"Alright, I'm done talking. You guys continue. I'm going to check on the graduate students." Hasegawa Subaru said and left. Everyone checked the time and returned to their respective teams. Not only were they in their teams, but many of them also had their own activities. After all, everyone here was a formal member, and none of them were bad.

Even the worst person here is still better than many other idol groups.

……

[The live stream has started, come join us!]

[Yes, the live stream has started!]

[Nana-chan is absolutely adorable!]

[Absolutely adorable!]

In the live stream room, all sorts of comments flew by. Miyamoto took a deep breath and then sat in front of the camera. In addition to the camera, he also connected his PS Vita to his computer today, naturally for live streaming the game.

What will we be broadcasting today?

Are you here to watch a show? Or just chat?

[Hey, Nana-chan, did you buy the game yet? I think streaming the game would be awesome!]

[I second this! Let's do a live stream of "The Guide to Falling in Love: Dating the SKR Girl!"]

[Yeah, let's stream games!]

Immediately, with that suggestion, everyone was very supportive, and they were all incredibly excited, as if they had taken some kind of drug.

Seeing their excited expressions, Miyamoto secretly admired Amagei Risa's shrewdness and chuckled, "Are you guys some kind of prophet? I'm planning to stream the game today!"

The live stream chat exploded.

【Oh oh oh oh oh oh!】

【WWWWW！】

[Live-streaming games?! Really?! Really?!]

【Ahhhhh, this is awesome! I'm going to stream the game!】

[Haha, wouldn't this be incredibly awkward? I can't imagine doing voice-over for this kind of game and then streaming it. I'd be so embarrassed, absolutely so embarrassed!]

Looking at the comments these people were sending, Miyamoto laughed and said, "Awkward or not? I think it's actually not that bad. I'll just tell you a secret: I actually got the game last night, and I didn't even train at home last night. Instead, I played the game for two hours!"

【Ohhhhhh! 】

[Haha, skipping training just to play games will shatter your image as a training fanatic!]

[Quickly tell us, who was your first target?]

[Yes, who was the first person you met?]

Miyamoto laughed and said, "I'm not going to say who the first person I met was! Besides, I only played a little bit of the game last night, and I need to rest too!"

After saying that, he took out an eight-sided die and said, "The characters you encounter at the beginning of this game are determined by the first two choices. The first choice has 6 options and the second choice has 8 options, which adds up to exactly 48 people."

"To be fair, I will roll the dice. Since there are only six options the first time, if it is not a number from one to six, then I will repeat it once until the corresponding number appears. As for the second option, it is not necessary."

"Similarly, once you've chosen one, you'll remember it. If you choose the same target again in a new game, you'll choose again and continue the strategy. The goal is to complete the relationship with all 48 characters!"

【Huh?!!!!】

[48 people? Does this mean they need to conquer even themselves?]

[Okay, okay, I want to see Nana-chan conquer herself!]

[My goal: To become SKR's public boyfriend!]

Seeing the fans' happy faces made Miyamoto Sei feel happy too, although there was a little bit of embarrassment, but that was nothing to worry about.

He took control of the PS Vita and then entered the game.

When creating a character and choosing a name, Miyamoto hesitated for a moment before typing "It's Nana-da".

Haha, this feels so weird!

Doesn't it feel strange when progressing through the story?

[Yeah, it always feels like you're experiencing a really serious or exciting game storyline while wearing a funny outfit!]

"It's okay. I think it's a good thing that this is called forming one's own unique aesthetic sense," Miyamoto said casually after looking at the comments.

Ah, so Nana-chan plays Final Fantasy XIV too!

[Beginners dress solemnly and formally; experts dress in all sorts of strange and unusual ways!]

[Nana-chan is definitely a hardcore otaku!]

Miyamoto Sei had now reached the first option. He rolled the dice, looked at the number on them, and said, "Option 2."

Then, the second option appeared.

Roll the dice again.

Option 6.

With the second option completed, Miyamoto Sei finally officially entered the game.
