Chapter 1197: MV
Yuri was at the cafe, taking care of the cafe as usual since the boss of this cafe was quite lazy. It might be because she had done this for a long time, that she had gotten used to it that if she didn"t open the cafe, she felt uncomfortable.
"Yuri-chan! Is there a new bread?"
Yuri turned and smiled. "Honoka, Umi, Kotori, good morning."
"Good morning, Yuri." Umi and Kotori greeted then Umi looked at Honoka then reprimanded her.
"Honoka! You can"t eat too much!"
"B, but I haven"t had breakfast!" Honoka was hiding behind Yuri while looking at Umi with a scared expression.
"Well..." Umi"s expression softened.
"Do you want to eat a sandwich?" Yuri asked.
"Yes!" Honoka answered without hesitation.
"But..."
"It"s alright. Haru has told me to prepare breakfast if you haven"t had breakfast," Yuri said.
"Haru is?"
Honoka, Umi, and Kotori looked at Yuri in surprise.
Yuri nodded and said, "I"m sorry for not being able to come to your concert." She knew that Haru had become a producer of Muse, but at the same time, she felt quite envious of the members of Muse since they were being taken care of by Haru.
"No problem, we know that you"re quite busy with your school," Kotori said.
"Then sit down first, you can sit on the counter seat while I prepare a sandwich for all of you," Yuri said.
"Yay!"
"Honoka, you can"t eat too much!"
"Mooo! Umi-chan, you"re like my mother!"
"I, I"m not your mother!"
"Now, now, Honoka-chan, Umi-chan, you shouldn"t fight with each other in this place."
Honoka, Umi, and Kotori talked to each other while waiting for everyone.
"How is your concert?" Iwasawa came to three girls and asked. She knew from Haru that they had made a school idol and of course, she was quite interested in it since she also made a band. She knew that they came to re-record the song for their MV which made her even more curious.
"It"s good. We got a lot of support from our school at the last concert," Umi said.
Iwasawa nodded and said, "I should come to watch your concert next time.
"Welcome!" 3x
The three girls smiled while talking with Iwasawa.
"Masami, how is your band?" Kotori asked. She knew that Iwasawa had made a band and was wondering how Iwasawa"s progress was.
"We performed in a cafe and in the summer, we"re going to perform at the Fuji Rock Festival," Iwasawa said.
"Fuji Rock Festival?!"
The three girls were surprised.
Fuji Rock Festival is an annual rock festival held in Naeba Ski Resort, in Niigata Prefecture, j.a.pan. The three-day event, features more than 200 j.a.panese and international musicians, making it the largest outdoor music event in j.a.pan. In 2005, more than 100,000 people attended the festival.
Iwasawa had made her own name and she also had signed with Haru"s company, on some circle and with Haru"s connection, it was very easy to make her perform on Fuji Rock Festival.
It was also the reason why Iwasawa continued to work hard since she needed to show that she was worthy to perform at that concert. From time to time, she also went to perform on NicoNico and cafe which made her able to gather a number of fans.
If Haru wanted he could let Iwasawa perform on the television directly since he owned a television network, but he felt that it would be too fast for her to become popular. To be honest, he didn"t want Iwasawa to become popular too early and waited until she graduated, but once Iwasawa had been given a platform to perform, it was only a time before she could become popular, it was how big her talent was, especially when she also had gathered her band members.
In the end, Haru could only let Iwasawa perform.
Compared to money, Iwasawa"s well being was more important for him, and even though he knew that being popular at an early age wasn"t good, since it was her wish then he could only let her fly since he knew sooner or later, baby bird would learn to fly.
Then Iwasawa, Kotori, Honoka, and Umi talked to each other, especially about the "Start;Dash!" song since Iwasawa loved it. Iwasawa had seen the video of the three of them when they performed "Start;Dash!" and told them to re-record it here since Haru owns a complete studio here.
They continued to talk to each other until Nozomi, Eli, Nico, Hanayo, and Rin arrived at Haru"s cafe.
It wasn"t the first time for Nozomi and Eli to come to this place, but when they came, they didn"t see Haru since that guy only worked in the cafe in very rare times.
However, it was the first time Nico, Hanayo, and Rin came to this cafe and they had to admit that the smell of the bread was awesome and the design of the cafe was very trendy which made them awe.
"Everyone, here!" Honoka waved her hand while eating the sandwich in her mouth.
"..."
Everyone looked at Honoka with a speechless expression, especially when this girl didn"t stop eating.
Iwasawa looked at the eight girls and asked, "Yuri, do you think one of them is Haru"s girlfriend?" She had to admit the level of eight girls was very beautiful and it wouldn"t be surprising if one of them was Haru"s girlfriend.
Yuri raised her eyebrow and sighed. She had been with Haru for a long time, yet that guy hadn"t touched her. She was wondering whether she should be the one who started to attack Haru aggressively.
"What"s wrong?" Iwasawa looked at Yuri curiously.
"N, nothing!"
Yuri blushed and went to the kitchen since her face blushed and she needed time to calm herself.
"..."
Iwasawa looked at Yuri and shook her head and she felt quite envious of the eight girls for a moment since it seemed they came from a good family. She then decided to continue to work since the cafe was going to close soon.
The eight girls were waiting for Haru while eating a sandwich.
Of course, the sandwich had very low-calories, but very good nutritional values and very good taste.
"Where"s Haru and Maki?" Nico asked. She was wondering how much Haru paid his worker and if the payment was good, she considered changing her working place in this place if it was possible since this place was quite close to her home.
"Huh?"
They only realized that only Maki and Haru didn"t come, and one of them flinched and didn"t say anything.
Nozomi smiled and said, "Maki is in the hospital and Haru is going to be late. They have sent me a chat before."
"Really?" Eli asked.
Nozomi nodded and said, "Of course." In her mind, she was wondering whether Haru had dated Maki, and at the same time, she was wondering if Haru was going to date all of them. Even though she had told him to date everyone, when she thought about it clearly, it was just too much.
Then the door of the cafe opened, Haru and Maki entered the cafe at the same time.
"Sorry, I"m a bit late. How about we start to re-record the song?" Haru said.
"....."
Everyone was looking at Haru at this moment and Maki, wondering why they came together, but at the same time, they quickly thought about the re-record of the song since it was a very important thing.
After that episode, Haru brought everyone to the underground studio in this cafe.
Yuri, Shiina, and Iwasawa also came since they were curious.
First they watched the MV which he had edited, and they had to admit that it was very good.
If this guy wanted to open a video editing business, then they were sure that a lot of people were going to edit their MV on his business.
The only problem of this video was the song since it was being mixed with various noises so they needed to sing the song again to get the clearer version according to the original rhythm.
But during the recording process, they encountered a little trouble.
It was the first time for Muse to enter this kind of pressional recording studio and they were a bit nervous, especially Yazawa Nico. Well, this girl wasn"t exactly nervous, but she was too excited!
Among nine girls, Nico"s dedication to an idol was the strongest, so when she received the same treatment as a professional singer, she would naturally become so excited that she made a lot of mistakes when she sang.
But fortunately, the problem wasn"t that big, the nine girls were very tough after all so after they got used to it a little bit, they recorded the song "Bokura no Live Kimi to no Life" completely.
After the song was recorded, the next step was to do the final proofreading.
Haru was of course, to be the one who did it, and he should be able to complete it in few hours, but then when he told them to go home.
"No! We"ll wait!"
Haru looked at the nine girls who seemed to make up their minds and he could only let them wait in this place.
"Alright, alright, you can stay here," Haru said in a helpless expression which made the nine of them cheer happily.
Rin looked at the video which was being edited by Haru and said excitedly, "We"re like real artists!!"
Yazawa Nico folded her arms and said, "Hmph! As an idol, you"re really immature! This is only a small studio, what makes you so excited about it? If we perform on a larger stage in the future, will you be scared to walk?"
Maki stared at Nico and said, "But the one who made the most mistakes just now seems to be Nico, right?"
Nico blushed then looked away.
"But I didn"t expect to make an MV, it would take so many steps." Kotori looked at Haru who was editing the video and said, "I thought that I only need to record it with a camera..."
"Well, it is possible, but the result isn"t going to be good."
Haru shook his head and said, "Remember your first MV? It was the MV that was sung in the school auditorium when Muse only had Kotori, Honoka, and Umi."
Seeing them nodded, Haru continued, "Although I don"t know who recorded that MV, it"s obviously very unprofessional. Not only does the video fail to capture the dance movements, the singing voice isn"t clear, and with the quality of the video... If at that time, the auditorium wasn"t empty and there were only a few people, then the video would be a lot worse and you might not be ranked 999 now and rank even lower."
After he said this, Haru noticed Eli"s expression was a little strange, and couldn"t help but wander. "Eli, why are you blushing?"
"W - Who is blushing?!"
"I see... Was the MV of our first concert being made by Eri?" Honoka suddenly realized.
"No, it"s not me! It"s definitely not me!" Eli blushed and denied it.
"...."
It seems that Eli was the one who did it.
Haru knew that tsundere was very easy to guess since all of the emotions were shown on her face, though, he had to admit that she was really cute.
