Melody 4
Nami stepped into a large hallway made of the most beautiful marble and gold which lay everywhere. She turned her head to face the long corridor that she walked down along side all of the boys. The corridor was light and flower arrangements guided them to a single pair of doors at the end of the hall. She gulped as the doors opened and she stepped into a large office which overlooked the entire city with an immaculate view. Two couches lay in the middle of the room in front of a large desk and coffee table
"Aahhh all of you have finally arrived," said an overly energetic voice from behind the wooden desk. A middle aged man stood up from his seat. He had dark black hair with some grey in it. He wore the most eccentric garments of a pink button down shirt under a black leather jacket with a zebra print scarf and tight skinny black pants with white pointed boots. He spread his arms out wide and approached the group.
"President Hana, it is a pleasure to see you again." Said Len with the utmost formality.
"Len-ku cool it with the formalities, call me Kyohei. I always have to remind you to do that don't I." He said with a laugh and smiling expression on his face. "Well, well well...it is about time I've meet his splendid creature with the voice of an angel." President Hana said stepping towards Nami. Nami smiled nervously. "Nami Kuruizaki, it is a pleasure to meet you my dear. I am Kyohei Hana President of Harmonic Notes Music Company."
"I'm honored to meet you President Hana. I love all the music your company produces and I'm a huge fan of Euphoric Valor." Nami stuck out her hand but instead was greeted by a large hug from the President himself. "AAAAHHH..." Nami yelped as the President let go.
"BAHAHAHAH, if you haven't noticed I'm not big into formalities. We are all one big happy family here at Harmonic Notes." President Hana said laughing. "Now let me introduce you to Ms. Sakura Hana, the stylist of Euphoric Valor and Mr. Hiroto Kanazawa, manager and producer for Euphoric Valor."
A tall man with violet hair tied back in a poiny tail arose from the couch, along with a light brown haired woman. Ms. Sakura Hana wore a very chic looking clothes of a pencil skirt and black blouse and tall heels. Mr. Hiroto Kanazawa wore a formal suit, yet there was no tie and his shirt looked wrinkled.
"Well, I'm glad you got past that screaming mob of girls safe and sound. It is a pleasure to finally meet you Ms. Kuruizaki. I am Sakura Hana." She said smiling at her.
"Ummm its a pleasure to meet you too Hana-san." Nami said shaking Sakura's hand. Nami then turned to Mr. Kanazawa.
"Well well well, its about time young lady, because its been a pain in my ass trying to find you these past two weeks." Hiroto said smugly as Sakura elbowed him. "But I'm very glad to meet you." He added smiling warmly.
"I'm so very sorry for the inconvenience and any trouble in which you had finding me." Nami said bowing her head deeply. "Thank you so very much for...for this opportunity." She said very quickly staring back up at Hiroto and bowing her head again.
"Hahahaa...you are very funny dear, but now let us talk business." President said gesturing to the couches.
Everyone took there seats on the couches as Nami nervously fussed with her hands and couldn't stop twitching. "First let me call in the other two boys...Azuma-kun and Keiichi-kun we have a special guest." President Hana voiced into a speaker.
Within two minutes, Azuma and Keiichi walked into the office and took their seats on the same couch as Sakura and Hiroto. "Azuma and Keiichi-kun this is Ms. Nami Kuruizaki-san." Hiroto said nodding to each of the boys.
Azuma grinned, "Hello there Nami-chan, nice to meet you." Azuma kissed her hand and took his seat again, as Nami blushed.
Keiichi sleepily looked at Nami, "Hi Nami." Keiichi then yawned and smiled.
"Its nice to meet both of you Yunoki and Shimizu-sempais." Nami said bowing her head again.
"Now all introduction are over let us begin..." President Hana said. "So, as you can tell Nami-chan we all have been looking for you over the past two weeks. Kazuki-kun was the one who found you at the karaoke contest. He recorded your performance and played it back to us. We immediately feel in love with your voice and the boys decided that you should be the new lead singer for Euphoric Valor. However, we would like to put you to the test and have you sing for us right now, sort of like an audition just to make sure. But not to worry we all have faith you will do brilliantly." President Hana said smiling at her.
"...Oh my goodness, I can't believe all of you my voice wanted...lead singer." Nami said feeling a bit light headed as she took in the news. "Umm I mean I'd be honored to audition to be the lead singer for Euphoric Valor." Nami said composing herself.
All of the boys nodded at the same time. "Well then let the audition commence..." President Hana said. "Follow me this way to the recording studio and we shall see what we have here."
Nami got to her shaky legs and proceeded to follow President Hana to the next room over. Everyone followed behind her as she grew more and more nervous with every step she took. A large recording studio appeared in front of her. It had all of the bells and whistles with the most expensive and professional quality equipment. "Alright Nami-san please step into the recording box. You will find the lyrics to "Longing" and a set of headphones. We can start whenever you are ready." Mr. Hiroto said taking a seat at the controls.
Nami stepped into the large recording booth and placed the headphones on her ears. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest as she stared through the window where all of boys sat staring in anticipation at her. She breathed in a deep breath and nodded that she was ready. She didn't need the lyrics because you had them memorized already. The melody began and she sung out the first note...however, nothing came out. She began to panic, "I'm soo sorry but could we start again please."
President Hana nodded. "Certainly, remember just relax and pretend your singing in front of the one you love." He said smiling.
Once again Nami took in a few deep breaths trying to get herself put together. She nodded for a second time and the melody began again. She inhaled and sung out.
"Broken into thousands of pieces...
Trying to repair what was once whole
My heart for you is gone for all eternity.
Longing for what could have been but
It never truly seemed part of this world's reality
It was merely a forgotten dream."
Her voice was shaky at first but then settled down as the melody overwhelmed her entire body. She sung with such emotion President Hana was astonished to hear her beautiful voice. Ryo and Kazuki closed their eyes and took in every note and sound that filled the studio. Manager Hiroto and Ms. Sakura both smiled and gasped. Len placed his hand over his mouth and stared at her with an emotionless expression.
"I have tried to erase the memories of you
While living in this temporary prison that I am trapped in.
Deep inside I fall apart to a nothing and I remain an empty vessel
Due to the incessant lingering that my heart
Wants to remain with you forever."
Longing for what could have been but
It never truly seemed part of this world's reality
It was merely a forgotten dream."
"I see you everywhere I turn
It is like a nightmare tearing me apart in my dreams
You haunt me in my every waking moment
I wonder around like a hollow shell because without you I am in an eternal hell."
"Longing for what could have been but
It never truly seemed part of this world's reality
It was merely a forgotten dream
"Because you disappeared from my life,
I now lie dreaming for a salvation to this infinite longing
Which burns deeply in my heart."
Nami took a deep breath and sung out all of the nerves that resided in her. She could feel it all disappear at once when the music ended. She placed the headphones on the stand and looked out into the room. President Hana was grinning from ear to ear along with Hiroto and Sakura. Nami sighed in relief and stepped into the other room awaiting the news.
"Nami-chan that was astounding, I have never heard anyone sing so well." President Hana said giving her another hug.
"Beautiful voice Nami." Sakura said.
"No bad kid, just need to work on those nerves and you'll sell millions." Hiroto said.
Nami was blushing a bit. "Thank you soo very much for your praise and this opportunity." She said
smiling.
"Well what do you think boys, Ryo, Keiichi, Azuma, Kazuki and Len?" Hiroto asked.
"Woowww..."Ryo said, "We need her."
"I loved it." Keiichi said smiling.
"There is no doubt in my mind that she is the one we want!" Azuma said smirking.
"Nami-chan is 100% amazing." Kazuki said winking.
"...To be honest, I agree she has the talent, but she needs some work. On the second chorus where the melody picks up she was a bit sharp and her breathing technique needs improvement." Len harshly said.
"Len-kun, come on she can sing, and she can learn all of that" Ryo said getting a bit frustrated.
Nami's heart hurt a bit as Len stared at her for what seemed to be an eternity but it was in fact only a minute or two. She couldn't believe she was harshly critiqued by her idol and awaited his decision.
"Len what do you say?" President Hana said urging him to make his decision.
"...She will need work and improvement, however I'll be willing to work with her...so yes she is in." Len said sighing heavily.
Nami could feel the tears of relief and joy welling up in her eyes. She smiled from ear to ear as her dream finally would become a reality...
