Here we go again – another disclaimer…

Touma Seguchi sat in his office looking down at the dot-people of Tokyo – that's how high up his office was. Also sitting in the room was Ryuichi Sakuma and Noriko Ukai. Seguchi turned and looked at his two band-mates.
"Nittle Grasper is still at the top of the charts here at NG," Seguchi stated. "Bad Luck is coming up from behind – soon to be at the same level as us…"
"But still," Ryuichi said. "I want to sing with Shuichi some more."
"Settle down Ryuichi," Noriko said. "You'll get more chances to sing with Shuichi, besides, they are our rivals now; we'll be on stage with them, a lot."
The room was dim. Taki and another man sat face to face with a desk separating them. The other two members from ASK were not in this 'secret meeting'…
"I want to bring ASK back," Taki stated. "If you do so, we will top the charts and get you even more money then you can count." Taki smiled a crooked smile. And if we come back, I will take Shuichi Shindo out…
The man smiled back at Taki, "And if we bring ASK back; what's in it for our company? We have all the money we could possibly want."
"All the money you could possibly want?" Taki laughed. "You'll never have 'all the money you could possibly want'..." Taki placed his hands on the desk, leaning in towards the man, eye to eye. "We can sell more records then any of your top bands combined."
Bad Luck sat in the conference room; at one end of the table. K and Mr. Sakano stood at the other end.
"We have a new show scheduled," K stated.
"A new show?" Shuichi asked. "We're going to be on TV again?"
"Yes," K responded. "And this time it's a music show…"
"Yes! We're going to be on TV!" Shuichi got overly excited again. "I have to tell Yuki!"
Shuichi darted out of the room smashing a hole right through the wall. Mr. Sakano was terrified by Shuichi's excitement that he started crying.
"Who's going to pay for the wall?" Mr. Sakano muttered.
"Hey Shuichi! Come back here!" Hiro yelled running after Shuichi.
Shuichi was in 'la la land' not hearing a word that Hiro yelled to him, he just continued running back to Yuki's place. He got to Yuki's apartment, Hiro still running after him. He didn't feel like waiting for the elevator, so instead he darted up the stairs getting to Yuki's door. He was too excited and for just one moment, he forgot how to use the doorknob and busted down the door.
"Yuki!" Shuichi yelled into the apartment.
Yuki sat on the couch startled by the crash of the door onto the ground. "You damn brat," he said. "Who's going to fix my door?"
"Shuichi!" Hiro yelled from behind trying to catch his breath. "You can't just run off like that. Next time, wait till we're done before you dart off."
"I'm sorry Yuki, Hiro…" Shuichi started. "It's just that we're going to be on TV – I guess my excitement bested me…"
"That's not it, Shuichi," Hiro said. "We are all excited."
"Who's going to fix my door?" Yuki asked again. "Damn brat…"
"Hello," a familiar head popped into the room.
"Tatsuha!" Shuichi yelled.
"What are you doing here?" Yuki asked. He could care less about that question – probably his father wanted him to come home again and marry Ayaka.
"Just stopping by to say hi to Shuichi," Tatsuha said. "I heard you were going to be on TV…"
"Word travels around fast," Hiro said in a quiet mellow voice, looking at Tatsuha.
