"God no! I'm so sick of you two!" Miku yelled as her face started turning red; she had obviously had it
"Hey! Don't speak in plural just because we're twins! I'm not the one who can't tell a G hi from a C" said Len as he gave his sister an accusatory look
"Are you trying to imply something?" Rin replied, obviously upset
"If the shoe fits…" the blond boy glared at his sister, showing that he was not backing off his statement one bit…
And that, more or less, is how everything started (or ended… would be more fitting), how we… well, I don't know if I can even use the term "we", since I didn't add much to the band anyway; sure everyone was nice to me when I made a few corrections on the lyrics but… I couldn't sing or play an instrument, so it's not like I was a part of them, not entirely at least.
After the split, it goes without saying that Miku skyrocketed as a soloist. She was already an idol to begin with, and the attention from the media only helped her ascension; she offered me to work with her and I accepted, but I simply couldn't stand it for long. I mean, it wasn't her fault at all, she treated me well and the pay was ok but… I simply couldn't stand her; her voice, her charm, her glow, how easy it was for her to keep piling hits and fans; staying would have been worse than quitting, that's what I keep saying to myself at the very least.
As for the Kagamine brothers, they truly are a reflection from the mirror; one's fate was as good as the other's was bad. Len actually did pretty well as a soloist himself, since his innocent bad boy looks and attitude really got the girls into him, and since he's a boy he didn't have to directly compete with Miku, unlike Rin…
Oh the poor Rin; I'm not saying she's doing as bad as I am (I don't think anyone is), but she didn't do nearly as well as she was expecting. With Miku always hogging the spotlight, Rin was never really able to shine as much as she wanted to. I heard she gets some random events every now and then, mostly the ones Miku is too busy or considers too minor to attend; I guess I can relate to Rin, being in the shadow ever since her and Len got into that fight…
As for Kaito, he completely gave up on singing, but he never abandoned stardom. He now makes a living as an actor and it seems like a welcomed change by his fans. He and Miku went on a couple dates, but she told me they both agreed to do it just for the spotlights; it worked pretty fine indeed, for their latest debuts had like half the media from Japan covering them
And what about Luka? She was the one who walked out with the biggest slice of cake if you were to ask me. Being the group manager and the one who dealt with most of the legal paperwork, she got a hold of the rights over the most popular songs, which will keep her from having to do any actual work for at least the next 10 years; she DID let me keep my one hit, so nice from her… She's far from inactive tho; about one month ago she founded the "Vocalostars" music academy in Tokyo and I heard she's not a bad teacher at all. While the academy is not exactly overflowing with requests for entry, she has a pretty solid attendance; she's probably the one who will be on her best after 20 years…
And me? Well, if you're bored enough to care about me, it won't be hard to guess that after the breakup my drinking habit only got worse. Miku tried to dissuade me from it, not knowing that she was one of the root causes for it, and after I gave up on my job with her, it got even rougher. I drink about the same amount, but now I have to put up with this cheap sake that tastes like raw alcohol; it's not good for my health, I know that, but at least it makes the voices in my head to be quiet for a while…
How do I stay alive? That's a mystery even for me. I get part time jobs every now and then, but I keep getting fired; mostly because of drinking at work, which only makes me more depressed and want to drink more. The song Luka let me keep yields some drinking money every now and then, but it keeps reminding me of a happier… or at least less depressing past. It also makes me wonder why people like to hear the depressed ranting of a white-haired girl… maybe they're just mental
Somehow, this erratic path I walk wounded up past the billboards now, and seemingly Miku will be showing up live the 26th of this month; I had planned to drink myself to sleep that day anyway. Kaito had been inactive for a while, but the trailer for his new film "Romeo & Cinderella" was aired just today in virtually every channel on TV. You know it's on every channel if even the bar I go to shows it
Lost in my thoughts, I almost missed the monotone ring of my cellphone. I have to change the fabric settings some day… when I'm in the mood and have something to… oh right, I have to answer; "hello, it's…" was all I could muster before being abruptly interrupted by a familiar voice
