Project I chapter 1

Hello, my name is Koufuku Takarajima, a fan of 765 Production since 2012. I currently live here in Jakarta, Indonesia with my family. I also have a pet turtle named Nigel, some fishes and also my special pet...a Spinosaurus named Spino. I got him from an adventure back in 2016, and it was fun. I often send fan letters to my favorite idol there, Haruka Amami. She's the cutest member of 765 Production. A girl, with two hair ribbons, a beautiful short auburn hair and a voice comparable to a voice of an angel. But now, I finally get to work at 765 Production...

They just announced that their producer was murdered in cold hands by an unknown person back in 2017. They tried to find a new producer, but they always fail. 765 Production was having a downfall, and Kotori was very busy acting as the temporary producer. However, they found the perfect person for the job: a true 765 Production fan. I decided to fly to Japan tomorrow. On the next, I bid farewell to my family and flew to Japan with the help of my pet turtle Nigel who can turn into a blimp. Spino is going with me too!

WE'RE GOING TO SEE HARUKA FOR REALZ!

One travelling later...

Ahhh... I finally arrived in the heart of Japan: Tokyo. The place where the 765 Live Theater is located. I traversed through the bustling city life. I saw many neon signs, advertisements for anime and games as well as...arcades! But, I can't play right now, as I must go to the theater to apply as the new producer. As I arrived at the theater building by the Sumida river, I went into the building via the main entrance. It was kinda strange, the lights are on, but there's nobody there except Kotori. She seems to be waiting for me

Me: Hey, Kotori. So, I decided to accept your letter to come here and apply as the new producer here... It feels kinda silent here TBH

Kotori: Hehe, you must be Mr. Takarajima right?

Me: Yep, I am

Kotori: You're in luck! You have been chosen as the new producer of 765 Production! So, what will be your nickname?

Me: Nickname? You mean like someone's name then added with a P in it?

Kotori: Yes..

Me: Hmmm.. I think Taka-P or Kou-P sounds good

Kotori: Taka-P sounds great!

Me: Oh well, I'll go with Taka-P. Where should I start? Where are the girls?

Kotori: Right this way... *guides me to the theater area*

And so, I saw...with my bare eyes... The main theater area of 765 Live Theater! The place where the girls (and of course Haruka) perform! But right now, this place is silent. No one's here, but the lights are on. No sign of the girls either. I saw some cracked floor on the stage as well. Damn, this place is in a pretty bad shape after the producer died. I can hear some rats squeaking behind the grandstands, perhaps looking for scraps of popcorn or potato chips. And so, the fun started as I entered the backstage. I saw some girls there. There's the short-haired blondie Tsubasa, the cute redhead Mirai, the loner brunette girl Shiho, the half-Brazilian cutie Elena and of course...my crush herself...Haruka...

Me: Uh, hello there... I'm your new producer, Taka-P. Nice to meetcha...

Tsubasa: You? A producer? I think you look a little funny...hehe..

Me: Oh yes I am! Look at this letter from Kotori *shows Tsubasa the letter*

Tsubasa: Hmmm... I see... So, what brings you here?

Me: You see, Kotori sent this letter to me knowing the producer is dead, and this production is a little...wrecked

Tsubasa: I know, it was kinda sad to hear that the Producer was murdered... But at least, you're here to help us

Me: Hehehehe... *blushes*

Tsubasa: C'mon, wanna meet Haruka?

Me: Of course!

Tsubasa: Haru-chan, our new producer is here

Haruka: Maji?! Really?!

Tsubasa: Yeah, and his name is Taka-P

Haruka: Taka-P? He looks pretty fa- HE'S THAT TAKARAJIMA GUY THAT OFTEN SENT ME FAN LETTERS?!

Tsubasa: Hmmmm...yes

Haruka: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I'm so excited! Taka-P!

Me: Holy crap! *gets hugged by Haruka* Ah, Haruka... You're here!

Haruka: I'm surprised you're going to be our producer! Especially me, right? *winks*

Me: Of course... *gives Haruka a head pat*

Haruka: Uguuuuuu... *blushes*

Me: So, where are the others?

Haruka: The others left this place after Producer-san died. We're trying to regroup again, so we can perform in this year's Japan Music Festival at Brisbane, Australia

Me: Wow, great! Are there any competitors?

Haruka: Well, there's that boy band 315 Production, the Konami-endorsed idol group Tokimeki Idol, the half-animal idol group JTK48 and also the famous singer Elsa Kanzaki

Me: Whoa, that's a lot of competitors. We need to go for the gold!

Haruka: Eeeexactly! We won several awards back then, but it's time for Producer-san to pass the torch to you. Make us shine

Me: Oh I wil.. C'mon, let's go and find the others!

Kotori: I'll help you with that. I'll try to promote this on 765's official Twitter, so the others can find us here, also hoping that this will let the fans know that 765 Production is back on business!

Haruka: Great!

Me: Go on! Let's tweet about it!

Kotori decided to tweet about the new producer on Twitter, and also the return of 765 Production. The others were shocked as they saw our tweet! We finally got some people in... Some original cast and some Million Live girls. The fans were delighted as well, and began to re-paste 765 Production posters on their walls as well as rearrange their racks with 765 Production figures and memorabilia. Looks like our idea worked!

A few hours later, we managed to gather most of the girls in before midnight. However, we're still missing some. But who? All of the original cast are here, some of the Million Live girls are here, but we're still missing two members. Who are they? Secretary Aoba comes in, and explains us that Emily is still in her home at Twycross, England. However, Emily already replied to our tweet that she will be arriving tomorrow, and she's on her way here. We're also missing Noriko Fukuda, the hot-blooded blonde tomboy. We hope that Noriko will return tomorrow as well...

I guess we'll call this a day. I decided to take a rest and hope to see Emily and Noriko on the backstage. Kotori already made a room for me in the theater, a separate place with the place where the girls usually roam around. She made a pretty good bedroom in the live theater's attic, which is on the building's second floor next to the sound operation room. Not far from there, there's a man's bathroom which I can use. It was originally reserved for the Producer, prior to his death. I unpacked my stuff there, changed my clothes and sleep with Nigel and Spino

On the next day, I decided to check out the backstage, only to find some of my girls there having fun before their rehearsal for the Japan Music Festival. I also saw Emily there as well, after she arrived here on 5 AM. But still no sign of Noriko here... I wonder where she's right now? Suddenly, Aoba appears and told me that Noriko has been kidnapped by a shady organization

Aoba: Taka-P, bad news!

Me: What?!

Aoba: Noriko has gone missing! She's kidnapped by a bunch of shady figures on her way home. She's currently being carried by a black fan on the way of a building not far from here

Me: Oh crap! We need to do something

Aoba: Let me call the po-

Me: No! Leave it to me, the adventure expert

Aoba: Whoa, great! Take me there too

Me: Sure, why not?

And so, Nigel transformed into his blimp form. Me, Spino and Aoba decided to pursue that black van. As we spotted the black van on the highway, Spino used his icy breath to freeze the van's wheels. We tried to land safely and opened the van's cabin. We found Noriko, tied up with a rope and tape gagged. It seems that she was going to be kidnapped and taken to the mysterious building. Spino used his claws to tear away the tape and rope

Noriko: Ahh... Thanks for saving me. Who are you anyway?

Me: I'm Koufuku Takarajima, your new producer. You can call me Taka-P

Noriko: Taka-P? Sounds great! Where are the others?

Me: They're waiting for you, quick!

Noriko: Alright, Taka-P...

Kidnapper A: Damnit, she went away! We need to return to the boss, quick

Kidnapper B: Oh yeah, or we're ending up in her torture chamber... *both of the kidnappers run away*

Aoba: Hey co-, darnit...

Me: Leave 'em be, let the police handle them

Aoba: Okay...

After we saved Noriko, we flew back to the 765 Live Theater. It seems everyone's all here! Tomorrow's the day for the rehearsal... However, this won't be an easy thing as this is my first time as a producer. Maybe Kotori can teach me how to arrange the choreography, vocals and the costume for the girls. Oh, did I mention I saw the mysterious building from afar? It was an arena-like building, with the letters A, F and W in it. I wonder what it is? But for now..

TOMORROW'S PRODUCING TIME! Also, more time with Haruka, yaaaay!
