He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

I chose the most royal and cute style.

In order to highlight her figure, Yuko Daidon chose a wavy skirt, an off-shoulder top embellished with ribbons and bows, and gloves with plush accessories. The overall matching effect and details... are all for Highlight "cute" and "well-behaved".

As for shoes, Daidon Yuko chose high heels that she doesn’t usually wear. Although on the way to the shooting scene, she said more than once that high heels are an anti-human invention, but when she was on the shooting scene, she He still used his sophistication very skillfully in shooting...

"...As expected of her."

Higuchi Enka, who was watching with Kento Watanabe, couldn't help but said with a strange look:

"She is completely different from her usual self."

The bright and bright smile, the cute and slightly playful pose, and the sweet and carefully crafted voice... everything is so natural.If he hadn't seen her in the office beforehand, Higuchi Enka might have been deceived by her appearance.

"Although the posture is different from the one in front of us, there is no doubt that it is a part of Fuyuko."

Kento Watanabe shook his head and said.

"She is just trying her best to show her ideal self."

"It's completely different from what I said back then..."

Higuchi Enka turned his head and looked at Kento Watanabe:

"Obviously you didn't let me wear Asakura's imitation makeup at that time."

"If you really have always wanted to be like Toru from the bottom of your heart, then I will definitely not stop you. But the reason why you wear that kind of fake makeup is just because you are not confident enough, right? To me , that kind of forced change that is not based on one's original wishes is the real lie."

Kento Watanabe replied without hesitation:

"And as a childhood sweetheart who has been observing you for a long time, I can say that I have full confidence in your charm. That's why I dared to challenge Kachi truthfully at that time... If it were Yuuko Fuyu, even though I said so It might be a bit rude, and I might not have the courage to intervene."

"…………That’s it."

After hearing Kento Watanabe's "eccentric" speech, although Higuchi Enka's expression did not change, her voice softened significantly.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Higuchi Enka did feel happy because of Kento Watanabe's words...

"Speaking of which, you said before that you decided to make our official debut at the end of this month?"

In order to hide her feelings, Higuchi Enka immediately changed the topic.

"Before our official debut, there should be other things we need to do, right?"

"That's right."

Kento Watanabe nodded.

"In addition to the promotional photos, the preparations for the official debut also require the two of you to design signatures and register social accounts for idol activities."

"...It turns out that these are indeed necessary links."

Higuchi Enka quickly understood and accepted these two things proposed by Kento Watanabe.

For artists, social accounts can not only be used as promotional props, but also used to interact with fans and complete other business activities.

As for signatures, they are essential for every artist and can almost be used as one of their selling points.

only……

"Although it sounds easy, if you think about it carefully, these two are not trivial matters that can be laughed off."

Kento Watanabe said seriously:

"First of all, social accounts... In order not to reveal too much personal information, every photo and update you upload must go through very strict inspection. If it is some more strict firms, even when sending every Every tweet is reviewed by agents and producers before it can be posted."

"…………"

"As for the importance of signatures, I don't need to say more, right? As something that will accompany your entire idol career, to a certain extent, it may be more important than promotional photos. Whether it is for your own idol career , or regard it as a future commodity, the signature needs to be designed very carefully and carefully by the artist."

"Well……"

Higuchi Enka couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"If you sign, it can be solved by one person. But things like social accounts... it's very troublesome just thinking about it."

"This is inevitable. After all, this is the information age."

Kento Watanabe said:

"But for Enxiang, you don't actually need to care so much... There are no restrictions set by people. You only need to post some work-related things on your account from time to time. After all, even if it is your own personal account , it’s basically all blank, isn’t it?”

"..."

Higuchi Enka thought for a moment after hearing this, and then couldn't help but ask:

"In that case, wouldn't it give people the feeling of perfunctory fans?"

"Rather than deliberately opening a business and always worrying about whether the secret will be exposed, I personally prefer to just be myself."

Kento Watanabe replied:

"And that neat and concise style suits Enka very well."

"...All right, you have the final say."

I always feel that since Asakura confessed to this guy, something has started to look wrong with him.

Come.

According to his own words, this seems to be how he feels about getting along with girls as "Kento Watanabe".

Because he no longer regarded himself as an elder brother, he no longer had any unnecessary worries in the way he spoke, and began to become more direct.However, his own personality is the type that only focuses on the advantages of others, which makes his "direct approach" more lethal.

And because of his so-called "restraint and caution", he would immediately keep a distance from the other person after subconsciously "flirting" him...

Just like those experienced flower masters.

In other words, after giving up the "brother mode", Kento Watanabe might be more "dangerous" than he was before?

(That guy...may have gotten off to a pretty bad start.)

After silently complaining in his heart, Higuchi Enka continued to ask:

"So, are these two preparations the only thing you need to do before your official debut?"

"Well...these two should be the only necessary preparations."

Kento Watanabe nodded.

"Besides... I have a voluntary job for you, Enka."

"What is it?"

"I hope you can have your first 'unofficial live' at Livehouse."

"……………………what?"

Chapter 54: Everything is difficult at the beginning

Although the initial review of WING is just an interview, Kento Watanabe still hopes that Enka Higuchi can experience the feeling of standing on the stage in advance.

On the one hand, this is because he believes that Higuchi Enka’s ability has now reached a level where she can stand on the Livehouse stage, and on the other hand, he hopes that she can personally understand the necessary aspects of idol activities through this method—— The essence of "performance".

For Higuchi Enka, who has not liked to show herself since she was a child, it is really difficult for her to stand on the official live stage without practicing.

No matter how excellent your singing and dancing skills are, before you step on the stage, they are just unreliable paper data.Only after experiencing the gaze of the audience, the illumination of lights, and the test of various on-the-spot situations, will these data truly turn into his true strength.

As long as Higuchi Enka can experience a live performance, she will have a clearer understanding of future activities.

And Kento Watanabe also hopes to use his own eyes to confirm what kind of performance style Higuchi Yuka is more suitable for on the stage, and provide corresponding opinions and guidance...

"Because there is no time to prepare costumes, this first performance at Livehouse can be done without thinking about dancing and just singing. And I decided this way after asking Mr. Ishibashi for his opinion... At least after him It seems that you are qualified to sing on stage."

Kento Watanabe said:

"The choice of whether to participate or not is up to you, but from a producer's point of view... I really hope you can agree."

"...Won't Yuko Fuyu participate?"

Higuchi Enka asked:

"We both debuted as a group at the same time, right? Isn't she going to participate in this... informal live?"

"Of course she will also participate, but that will happen after you."

Kento Watanabe shook his head and said:

"You two have different focuses. At least in terms of singing skills, you are ahead of Fuyu Yuko, so your first performance will naturally be earlier than hers."

"…………Is that so?"

Higuchi Enka never expected that her singing skills would be recognized to this extent.

Although Mr. Ishibashi had praised her singing skills and condition more than once during class, she never expected that just one month of training would be enough for her to stand on the Livehouse stage with basically zero foundation. Put on a show…

……

Is she really okay?

The CC Livehouse stage is indeed not too big. Judging from the number of audiences she saw that time, there were only about 40 to [-] people. In terms of number of people, it was about the same as performing in front of the whole class... …

But the meaning is completely different.

Although she has not officially debuted, as long as she stands on the stage, she is a performer.Since she is a performer, she has the responsibility to make the performance go smoothly...

Can she really do this now?

Higuchi Enka fell into hesitation.

"I know this is not a small thing for you to agree to casually, so you don't have to rush to answer me."

Seeing the somewhat shaken expression on Higuchi Enka's face, Watanabe Kento was not surprised.

Higuchi Enka's lifestyle has always been very low-key and stable. Even after becoming an idol, she has not experienced anything other than taking classes and taking promotional photos.

For this child who never likes to show off herself, this "informal live" can be said to be a complete violation of her past lifestyle.

She will be forced to accept the appreciation and evaluation of others, and at the same time, she must try her best to overcome all the disturbing factors on the stage...

Although it does sound difficult, Watanabe Kento also hopes that Higuchi Enka can overcome this difficulty as soon as possible.

All beginnings are hard.

As long as Enxiang can successfully complete even one performance, she will be more comfortable facing other stages in the future.

But...how can we get Enka to take this first step?

"Hey, Watanabe-kun!"

However, while Kento Watanabe was still thinking about his words, the photographer on the other side suddenly called Kento Watanabe’s name:

"The shooting has been completed. I think the quality of the samples is OK. Come over and check again!"

"Ok!"

Kento Watanabe nodded, and then walked in the direction of the cameraman...

On the other side, Higuchi Enka also raised his head and looked in the direction of Daito Yuko.

I saw that she was talking to the staff with a smile on her face. Judging from the reaction of the staff, she seemed to be having a happy chat with her...

(...If it were Fuyuko, she would agree without hesitation. After all, he is a guy who can immediately smile brightly in front of the camera...)

Higuchi Enka couldn't help but think so.

(Both she and Asakura...are the type who can show themselves without hesitation. As an idol...do you really need this kind of mentality and state?)

Looking at the girl standing in the center of the crowd not far away, Higuchi Enka fell into deep thought...

........................

After the filming, the three of them went directly back to the office.

As soon as he returned to the office, Kento Watanabe quickly received another work contact, and then he hurriedly left the office with his mobile phone.

Ever since, in the office at this time... only Higuchi Enka and Daifuyu Yuko were left.

As soon as she returned to the office, Daidon Yuko immediately took out her mobile phone and began to look at the photos she had just taken——

"Hmm~ As expected of Mode. Modern! I have never taken such a cute photo!"

Looking at the samples on her phone, Daidon Yuko showed a very satisfied expression.
