I became a girl group idol for my sister.

As Lisa Tenbei said this, she smiled slightly: "So, while testing the waters in Europe and America, we also need to prevent this from affecting the data there, so this is the only way for now."

"Have you thought about when the next performance will be?"

“Look at those children, but I don’t think it will be too slow,” said Risa Tempel.

Chapter Ninety-Six: Giving Birth

For fans in New York, it has always been Nana Miyamoto's solo performances, but today's large-scale performance with dozens of people is a completely new experience, so fans are full of anticipation.

After all, in a big city like New York, there are fans of other people besides Nana Miyamoto. And today, it's not just Nana Miyamoto's fans who are here; there are fans of other people as well.

The fans were shouting, and the atmosphere was already set in motion by the opening music. Suddenly, a dazzling blue light flashed in the darkness.

Under the dazzling stage lights, the members of SKR made a splendid appearance.

As the first to appear, the members of Team S took the stage. As a warm-up for the performance, the strongest Team S, Miyamoto Sei, stood in the center. They were wearing the same uniform and were like beams of dazzling light, instantly igniting the entire stage.

At that moment, the cheers that erupted were like thunder, and the cheers of the fans rose and fell. Even before the performance officially began, the atmosphere had already reached an extremely heated state.

Then, the music started playing.

Accompanied by the rhythm of the music, the singing came through the microphone and then through the speakers, reaching the ears of everyone present.

On stage, each member showcased their unique charm.

Even though the dance moves are the same, for the members of SKR, how to show their individuality while maintaining team coordination has long been a required course. So the sixteen people standing on the stage at this moment look like sixteen people dancing together with the same movements, but they are also sixteen people who are independent and each has their own characteristics!

When they sang those familiar melodies together, the entire scene seemed to be tightly connected by an invisible force.

Everything is interconnected. Amidst the singing, fans wave their light sticks and shout in unison, using their unique support culture to cheer for their favorite idols.

This stage is no longer just SKR's stage, but also belongs to every fan who loves them.

The Gershwin Theatre hosted its most popular performance of the year today, not only because of the idols who performed, but also because of the fans who came to see them!

At this moment, everyone realized one thing: whether they were fans of other people or fans who usually came to see Miyamoto Nana perform and had seen her solo performances many times, they all understood one thing.

That was a dazzling sun. Those sixteen girls singing and dancing on the stage were all suns, each shining their light on others, whether it was other team members or fans.

And the woman at the very front of the center, the girl who has been performing solo shows in New York all along, Team S's Center Nana Miyamoto, is like a being that shines several times brighter than others, enveloping everything and leading everything. Under her leadership, the entire team becomes one!

Along with them, the fans in the audience also became one with the idols on stage!

After the performance ended, the fans were still in the mood when Miyamoto and the others left the stage, and Team K naturally took the stage next.

Team K, who were Team S's opponents at the time, also delivered a vibrant and athletic performance today.

Miyu Nagasu, the once delicate girl, now stands at the forefront, showcasing all the difficult moves, just like Sakurako Naoki back then.

Even though many people were seeing Team K's performance for the first time, they could feel the unique aura emanating from the girl standing in the center.

That unique charm brought a smile to Mika Komatsu's face as she watched the performances from above. She thought of Sakurako Naoki, who was a formidable rival to Ogiko Higashi Hisayo.

"As expected, you have truly forged your own path. If you continue to move forward now, you will definitely be able to stand squarely in front of Nana and challenge her."

Mika Komatsu muttered to herself for a moment, then turned and left without lingering at the scene.

Finally, after almost all four teams had performed, it was time for the intermission. During this intermission, we couldn't just sit around doing nothing, so it turned into a dialogue or self-introduction.

The first one to go on stage was naturally Miyamoto Sei.

"Hello everyone, my name is Miyamoto Nana. I'm sure many of you already know my name. You might be thinking, 'Why is this person coming up on stage? We already know who she is, isn't this a waste of time?' But besides introducing myself, I'm here today for something very important!"

He raised his right hand.

"I'll be the translator!"

"Finding a translator is too much trouble, so I'll be doing the translation myself today," Miyamoto said to his fans with a smile. He had performed here many times before, so American English was naturally no problem for him.

There are quite a few people in SKR who are not good at English, so Miyamoto Sei became a translator for them.

This behavior, in a way, added some humor, or rather, made the story more interesting.

While introducing themselves, many people chatted among themselves.

"This performance was absolutely fantastic! I'm so glad I didn't listen to those guys who said this kind of show wasn't worth watching. Those guys were just saying that because they were afraid they wouldn't be able to get tickets!"

"That's for sure. I heard that tens of thousands of people reported not being able to buy tickets. Dude, tens of thousands of people want to buy tickets, plus the two thousand or so people here, I'm sure that even if it were held at the football stadium, SKR would definitely be able to fill all the seats!"

"Nana-chan seems completely different today. She's even more captivating as the center than when she's soloing!"

"Team K's Miyu-chan is also great, she dances incredibly well!"

"Is that the girl who serves as the center of Team K? She's really amazing, and she seems to have a very good relationship with Nana-chan!"

"You didn't know that? Those two were originally on the same team. They debuted together when they first joined SKR. Later, they formed a unit with Mika Komatsu. After that, the three of them joined different official teams. Their relationship is so good that if you search for novels about them online, you can find hundreds of different ones."

"I want to read the novel in detail!"

"Does it come in color?"

"There are some with color, and even some storylines about giving birth."

"Oh, let's add each other as friends. Please be sure to send me the website address later!"

……

The Japanese girl idol group SKR performed at the Gershwin Theatre, and the venue was completely sold out. Many fans complained about not being able to buy tickets and hoped that the next performance could be held in a larger venue.

The idol culture, which originated in Japan, has become popular around the world in recent years. As the largest female idol group, SKR has its own sister groups in many parts of the world, but not in the United States and Europe.

Although Risa Tempeh co-founded Stardust Studios with David Most, she did not start preparing for the formation of the sister group directly in the United States. Instead, she had Nana Miyamoto, the most famous idol of SKR, perform in the United States, followed by a group performance. Judging from the scene, the fans' enthusiasm was indeed extremely high.

Some have pointed out that Dawn Comos's Cosmic Entertainment empire also plans to enter the idol industry and combine it with the world of anime and manga, but it is still in its early stages. Although auditions have been held, it is unknown when the first debut activities will actually begin.

However, according to SKR staff, they expressed their anticipation for the emergence of the Cosmic Entertainment Empire. They said that only with enough competitors can the company develop more healthily.

For SKR, who are developing their careers in the United States, Cosmic Entertainment Empire has become their first rival. Even though this rival has not yet emerged, theoretically, SKR themselves will become a whetstone for the new idols of Cosmic Entertainment Empire, making people look forward to seeing how quickly this new group will grow.

News always comes out very quickly, and the reason for this speed is that even before I got to the airport after the performance, reporters had already jumped out and started asking questions.

This group not only watched the entire performance, but also continued to wait until the high-five event ended, after which they surrounded Miyamoto and his group.

Fortunately, they knew the girls were in a hurry to catch their flight, so they didn't ask too many outrageous questions. They mainly asked questions like, "What do you think of Universe Entertainment Empire, a company that's also trying to enter the idol industry?"

Meanwhile, Dawn Comos, a middle-aged man reading the news, had a smile on his face.

He put the newspaper aside and said to his secretary, "What do you think of them?"

The capable secretary said, "I think these girls are really amazing, and they're quite open-minded about having challengers, which is rare."

“Exactly, what does this show? It shows that they are willing to operate according to market rules. Opponents who abide by the rules are respectable. I will also show them my strength and let them know what kind of terrifying pressure they couldn’t feel in Japan!” Dawn Comos said, then asked, “By the way, how long until the training is over?”

"According to the latest assessment, it will take at least two more months."

"Two months? Then let's give them another two months. After two months, it'll be time to show the people of Europe and America, or rather, the world, the strength of the idols from the Cosmic Entertainment Empire!"

At this point, Dawn Comos thought for a moment and said, "Now go and get some information like rumors and spread it around. I want everyone to see as much information about the Cosmic Entertainment Empire as possible!"

"Then, just randomly pick a few fake names for the idol groups and release them, then mix in some real ones, and let them guess for themselves."

The secretary nodded and noted down the tasks: "Understood, I'll be there in a bit!"

"As for advertising fees, let's prepare 50 million first. 50 million US dollars for advertising fees, apart from the initial publicity expenses, plus the publicity expenses when the debut, 50 million US dollars should be enough."

At this point, Dawn Comos suddenly started talking to himself.

"Let me see what's so great about the group Most chose. Let's see who wins this battle for the Western idol market!"

……

This performance was absolutely amazing! Being able to watch such a performance was truly uplifting!

I think Japanese fans are so lucky! They can go to the theater to see performances every day, while we still have to keep waiting!

[I guess I'll just have to find a way to register for a membership and watch their live streams online.]

[Brothers, good news! I was chatting with people at the event and they told me there were novels featuring Nana-chan and Miyu-chan, and some with explicit content! I'll post the names below!]

I know there were women giving birth in there, two girls giving birth together!

Wait, two women are giving birth?

[Scientifically, it's possible, but the baby would inevitably be a girl.]

[Let's not discuss that now. Are there any other novels by authors?]

Yes, they have everything! I checked, and there are all sorts of pairings! There are even quite a few people I don't recognize, like Miya, etc. I heard they're not SKR. There are even people helping with the translations, and I saw a few, and the translations are all very good!

Are there any comic book artists here?

I haven't seen the comic yet, it'll probably be a bit difficult, but isn't it already pretty good that there's a novel?

I want to read comics!

On the plane, Miyamoto Sei, who was on his way back, was not asleep. He was looking at his phone, browsing the reactions of the fans in New York to the performance. But when he saw these things, even his brain, which had experienced so much, was a little stunned.

He frowned as he looked at the content, his expression like that of an old man looking at his phone on the subway.

Finally, after about two minutes of silence, his expression slowly relaxed and eventually became serene, as if none of this could affect him anymore. He continued to scroll down, collecting feedback from fans about this performance.
