I nodded, not wanting to give it the gravitas of words, not even to say ‘yes, only once’ or something else incriminating like that. The fact was the fact, the simple glaring fact that was keeping me awake at night for three days now. I didn’t have a period yet.
A young idol faces unexpected consequences. Fiction by Vee.
The age of superidols is over, and it was that age which gave us these stars. Perhaps it wasn’t so much a prevailing desire for superidols as it was a public willingness to bite the marketing hook that avex started baiting so expertly in the late 90′s.
Vee considers how the past year went for the top three fillies in the Avex Trax stable.
He overemoted constantly, but without any intrinsic feel for the lyrics; the effect was like listening to a broken machine parroting human song. The words, intended for a young girl’s voice, seemed to warp and coarsen in the air. Towards the end he stood up and danced.
The conclusion of the story that began here.
It seemed as if the media were deliberately trying to ruin the idols’ careers. Or were the idols themselves trying to break out of the lifestyle somehow? Tatsuya couldn’t tell, but the news vaguely depressed him.
Part one of a two-part story.
