”It's Gotta Take Some Skill to Be an Idol”
Lyrics: Souou Uwai
Co, la la la la,is in my album sales
It'swith unanimity the symphony of hope
I can't just trust what's cut and dried, there'sfills otta take some skill to be an idol
Is a sweet face really all I'otta take so when I' over!
I only hope the reason is all the kindness living in the world
My talent keeps on winning, la la la la,to leave a mark on you
Froe so of hope
I can't just blindly follohat I' of tootta take some skill to be an idol
To say it's fair would be a fantasy
It's gotta take some skill to be an idol
The power in myself motivates me
When all my tears are over!
I only hope the reason is all the kindness living in the world
Yeaaaaah!
As I listened to the idol song streao sound syste sitting right next to er seat, a rather lethargic expression on her face We had a full tank of gas The car was very well o as fast as anted Fast enough to o anywhere in this car
What was this?
”The first tiiven center stage to counter groups like S-nery and Mix Juice, so it still ht with her out of the CD player
”I hate it” I gave herthe truth about how everything comes down to talent?”
”They're not roup”
”I still can't believe you're an idol Though uh, I did think you were cute”
”We aren't allowed to confir cute is only natural for an idol But, if we just honestly say 'Yep, I sure aet backlash But then, if we deny it and say 'No, I'et backlash for that too, e look like this”
”So what do you do?”
”The theory is you either silently bow your head, or be vague in your reply and just say, 'Thank you very much'” Aoba stuck her head out of the carand said, ”It's a nice breeze”
I thought it was pretty twisted that Aoba had to go to such lengths to beadvocating for talent—but it made more sense when I remembered the phrase ”love-hate relationshi+p” I had a love-hate relationshi+p with talent myself Those kids froh School Mystery Research Society probably were, too If they had only love for talent, or only hatred, they probably couldn't cook up a plan like Operation Global Locked Room Transfore behavior can all be chalked up to a love-hate relationshi+p, but just because it's unsubstantiated doesn'tto the airport”
Mybefore I could really think about what I was saying
We'd been fleeing for about two hours now We'd found and investigated some hospitals and supermarkets and other places that looked like they should have people there, but we didn't find a single person It was hard to see it as anything but the end of the world
”Would the airport actually be up and running?” Aoba see soaet real serious about trying to escape I mean, in zombie”
”Zombie?”
”Ah, nah, never o on Don't hold back”
”If you think about zoerous to hole yourself up”
”That's very convincing, when you're the one saying it”
”I think, when you absolutely can't take care of the problem, you shouldn't try to hide or hold down the fort, but run as far away as you possibly can If zo around in a shopping mall, it'd be better to escape to a forest or an island”
”Hence the airport?”
”IYou're free to share your own thoughts”
”Ehehehe Fleeing from an airport—it seems like a TV drama It's wonderful”
”Come on It's not that cool of a plot development”
”How the plot develops is dependent on you, otten her expectations up, at least for now ”Where e fly?”
”Uhh, wherever Rishi+ri?”
”Rishi+ri Island doesn't have anything but sea urchins and kelp I went there on a location shoot though”
