I became a girl group idol for my sister.

He should leave.

"I have to get to training now. Lastly, I wish you both a long and happy life together!"

"Thank you so much for your gift, Miss Miyamoto!"

"Yes, thank you so much! I really didn't expect that our idol would perform at our wedding!"

"Yes, it's like a dream!"

The couple expressed their gratitude to Miyamoto Sei, and Miyamoto Sei also thanked them.

"No, I should be thanking you all for making me feel happy here and for providing me with this stage. Thank you!"

After saying that, he packed his things and waved goodbye to everyone.

At this moment, these people were still savoring the performance they had just witnessed and had not yet recovered from the song they had just heard.

Miyamoto had already quickly arrived at the nearest tram stop and boarded the tram.

A smile spread across his face, and his mind began to work again.

Haven't the solutions always been right in front of us?

He began to look forward to the moment he would meet everyone at the theater.

Just then, his phone suddenly rang. It wasn't Miyamoto Sei's phone, but Miyamoto Nana's pink phone.

Upon opening it, I saw that the sender was Minami Sakagami.

[Qi Nai, if you're free tomorrow at noon, let's grab some lunch together.]

Tomorrow at noon?

I'll definitely need to find time to eat lunch, and tomorrow is Saturday. If the plan goes through, we'll probably be in another place. If I can spare some time for lunch, it shouldn't be a problem.

Why did Senior Nan want to see me? Could it be that he found out we were required to perform for 2,000 people this time, and wanted to share some experience with me?

Miyamoto thought to himself, then quickly replied to the message.

[I'm free tomorrow around noon. Around what time?]

[Let's meet at Shibuya Park at 11:30 then.]

The message was replied to quickly. While wondering why they wanted to meet at Shibuya Park, Miyamoto sent a confirmation message.

"Shibuya Park? Come to think of it, I haven't been there even once since I came to this world. The closest I've ever been to a forest or grassland was back in my grandfather's hometown, since I was thrown into the mountains..."

Miyamoto muttered to himself as he continued listening to the song.

……

"I said, let's go perform!"

Inside the dance studio, Miyamoto addressed the group of people before him.

Hayami Asuka looked at Miyamoto Sei: "Huh? A performance?"

Her eyes seemed to be asking, "What are you talking about?"

"Aren't we usually performing? In the theater." Rika Kusunobe looked at Sei Miyamoto with a puzzled expression.

Clearly, the others had not yet understood the meaning behind Miyamoto Sei's words.

“We only perform every few days, and the audience is relatively fixed, so it’s very difficult to reach more than two thousand people. You should admit that.”

Miyamoto said.

Hearing his words, everyone nodded.

“You’re right, but we don’t really have any other options. There are only so many theater performance opportunities. We can’t just take away the regular members’ theater performances. And even if we could schedule them at other times, wouldn’t that just be making the staff work overtime?”

As Shimada Yurina spoke, she seemed somewhat powerless.

“Yes, that’s the problem. Even if we can make the performance the best it can be in these few hours, the number of new fans we can actually attract is still small, and it’s hard to meet the requirements…” Mika Komatsu said, her expression somewhat melancholy: “If we reveal the difficulties we are facing online, it might have a good effect.”

“So-called sympathy votes?” Miyamoto said.

"Well, sympathy votes. I'm not sure if we can get a lot of people, but I think we can probably add a hundred or two more." Mika Komatsu said, "Teacher Amagasaki didn't say that this method is not allowed, it's just that they didn't mention it when they were promoting this performance."

“That is indeed a solution, but why doesn’t Ms. Amagai use it?” Miyu Nagayasu raised her hand quietly. “Could it be because she thinks it won’t work?”

“Perhaps she simply wanted to see how we would do it…” Miyamoto said, “to see how we would choose. After all, in my opinion, her personality is quite awful, and watching our struggles would be a good form of entertainment.”

"Nana-chan, what you're saying might not be good if someone hears you," Shimada Yurina quickly said.

“It’s okay, I think she can hear me. But I also have something to say about this. We can put aside the sympathy vote method for now and use it as a last resort, because fans gained through sympathy votes are not particularly good.”

Miyamoto smiled as he said this.

“Something happened when I came here today. I was thinking about how we could really gain more than two thousand fans and get them to come and watch our performance. While I was deep in thought, I was drawn in by the sound of church bells.”

"The church bells?" Everyone looked at Miyamoto Sei with curiosity, wanting to hear what would happen next.

"The church bells drawing my attention...it felt so romantic!"

"Don't you think it's creepy? In some horror movies, there are ghosts in churches!"

"Alright, alright, I'll continue." Miyamoto quickly stopped the group from starting to chatter again and swiftly recounted what had happened to him.

When he revealed that he had performed a short, impromptu show over there, everyone looked surprised.

"Don't you think this is great? We can use our free time to perform in a different place every day. A song is only a few minutes long, and even including the time to give blessings to the newlyweds, it's only about ten minutes. Even if we include the travel time, we can visit quite a few places in a day."

As Miyamoto spoke, he became more and more excited.

"We can bring joy and blessings to those people, and while they are happy, our popularity will gradually increase. This is another way besides theater performances. We can rely on our own strength to open up a new area and turn those people into our fans!"

At this point, everyone was listening intently, afraid of missing any crucial details.

"Furthermore, we can also hold free performances in places like squares and parks to let more people see us. As long as they know that we are the graduate students of the SKR girl group, some of them will naturally search for our information online and see about our upcoming performance at Shibuya Public Hall."

Miyamoto paused for a moment, looking at the group of people who were already deep in thought.

What do you think?

“A good plan. It’s definitely more useful than us just staying in the theater and relying on those few performances. But wouldn’t it be a bit too random to let them search online on their own?” Mika Komatsu narrowed her eyes. “Perhaps we could print some flyers and hand them out to those people during the performances.”

“That would definitely work, and we live in the internet age now. We can definitely find a way to make these things go viral online.” Miyamoto said, taking out his phone and starting to search.

"Look, I just performed when I came over, and it's already been uploaded to the internet."

[SKR current idol Nana Miyamoto makes a surprise appearance at the wedding!]

The title was somewhat catchy, and the video was only about three minutes long. It showed Miyamoto giving blessings to the newlyweds in the church.

There was a singing part, and naturally, there were also final words of blessing.

The content isn't extensive, but the number of clicks is increasing rapidly; it's only been uploaded for less than half an hour, and the number of clicks has already reached several thousand.

If this continues, it's certain that we'll break 10,000 before nightfall today.

Moreover, there are already various comments being made below.

[This can't be staged, right? The idol just happens to be at the wedding; this is too much of a coincidence.]

[Ah, it's Nana-chan, my wife!]

[You've had too much to drink. Give your wife back; don't try to take her from me!]

[I envy the content creator and their family; they actually received a blessing from their idol personally. That's incredibly lucky!]

[I hope something this wonderful happens when I get married! Nana-chan is an angel; she even gave a special performance.]

[Didn't she say she was drawn there by the church bells? Doesn't that mean she was guided by God? A messenger sent by God to bless the newlyweds—she really is an angel! Nana-chan = Angel!]

[So this girl is a graduate student at the SKR girl group? She's really a nice person.]

[This is so sweet! I heard they're having a performance at Shibuya Public Hall next month, I definitely have to go see it!]

Looking at these comments, Miyamoto smiled, glanced at the others, and said smugly, "How about that? What a great effect."

That's the power of the internet age; if used properly, it can yield excellent results.

Chapter 58 The Soaring Popularity [First Update]

"Quickly, quickly, I've contacted a church that's willing to host a performance when we have our wedding there!"

As Miyamoto spoke, he grabbed the largest box and ran outside; it contained audio equipment.

The others were also prepared, grabbing the microphones they had bought themselves and running outside. Since they couldn't use company property freely, they had to put these things together themselves.

Watching the children rush out of the theater and head towards the train station, Subaru Hasegawa went to his office.

"Is it okay to let them do it this way?"

"Of course, no problem. Isn't this a great idea? Bringing joy to others through performances is what idols are supposed to do. They're just doing their job."

Risa Amagai looked at the computer screen, which displayed the content of Miyamoto Sei's discussion with others yesterday.

"The only difference is that this time, they are the ones who planned everything behind the scenes and they are the investors. After all, they bought all the equipment. I really like one of her quotes: 'Sympathy votes are the last resort. Before that, of course, we need to use other methods that better demonstrate our strength to gain fans.'"

"She is indeed a qualified leader, and she would be a good fit for both the Center and the team leader positions."

"Yes, that's right, and she's a very qualified idol, at least for now, but the future is uncertain." Risa Tenbei tapped the table: "It's not shameful to make people sympathize with you and support you, but it's not as lasting as the support you get from your own hard work."
