I do not own Skip beat.
Enjoy!
"The world keeps turning no matter how deep you fall"
Kuon could not believe it as he stood in a book shop in disguise and on the radio was one of his band songs.
He brought the book he was reading and than began to make his way to the company Studio, it was only 15 minutes walk from here.
He heard.
"Hey, have you heard of the band Vigour?" Said one girl to her friend.
"No." Said, her friend.
"There the guys who were in Lalove music video recently" said, the girl. "Even though it mostly heavy metal its not bad"
Kuon walked past both of them and neither of them were aware that they had walked by the guitarist for Vigour.
He walked into the company and met his disguised fellow band members.
And than it happened.
A small red car drove up to the company, but they didn't think much of it until they saw who was driving.
The driver got out and revealed itself to be none other had a red head with shades, jumper, pants and swing his car keys.
"Yo" he said.
"ASTAR!?" They all said.
"Hey, guys." He said. "How do you like my new car?"
Everybody was stunned.
"How?" said, Charly.
"Well, I've turned 18 and the Label finally gave me a proper pay check" said, Astar stunning them. "This car may be really old but I managed to get it using my pay check. I'm a driving man now"
Everybody stared at the small car with wide eyes.
To think being considered an adult by law would produce such a privilege!
Both Astar and the Car were shinning together and it hurt all those who weren't old enough, eyes.
Astar walked into the studio with a flare that nobody had ever seen before and Shawn felt depressed remembering the only mode of transportation he owned was his bicycle.
They all walked into the studio and were stunned to find two people they had never seen before holding books.
"Hello, we will be your teachers for different languages" said two women. as everybody blinked.
"Other countries has expressed interest in your music" said, the Vice Chairman. "So we'll be recording the lyrics to your song in other languages so that we can reach a much wider audience"
They are going to learn another language!
Or at least memorise the words and learn nothing outside of that...
"In your spare time, we expect you to learn the new lyrics and you can use apps even to help outside lesson time" said, the Vice-Chairman.
The man left and the woman said. "Lets start with trying to sing the Spanish lyrics."
They all received a sheet with words that not many of them recognised and the women said.
"Say after me." And she said Spanish words and they said it back to her.
However when they finished the first verse, and they were made to sing it back Kuon realised there was instantly a problem.
It didn't sound like natural at all in a song format.
"Good" she said.
"Excuse me" said, Kuon.
"Yes?" said the other woman.
"Can I tweak some pronunciation?" he said, stunning both of them. "You see with our rhythm for this song, it should sound like this"
And then he sang it as if he was a seasoned Spanish singer, putting emphasis where there should be.
When the two women heard him, they were stunned and Kuon Mother smiled.
"...You know Spanish?" said, the woman on the right.
"I studied the language when I was a kid and I listened to several songs as well" said, Kuon. "But not enough to be completely confident in the language"
"I see..." said the woman on the right, before she said. "How about we reach a compromise? We teach you how to read the words and you put it in a song sense and see how it goes"
And Kuon nodded.
They than began to go over the words for hours and he would play it back to them all as if they were singing it live.
When they got home, they entered a live chat with each other and Kuon talked to all of them in singing the song in their own individual parts.
They spent days just learning one song in another language, and the label was shocked to hear they were ready to record their first song after two weeks.
They got somebody to record them and even the producer was amazed by their singing abilities in Spanish, when the chairmen heard the song they were stunned.
It didn't sound like a song that was originally English!
It took them three months to record all the songs in Spanish and than put it on a disc and get a translator to write the description for the Spanish version of the CD and than ship it to the Spanish only speaking parts of the world.
In fourth months it was in Spanish speaking store's and from that part of the world, it was even met with praise.
They were shocked to learn that it was originally English because it sounded like a Spanish band was singing.
The album reached the top 500, not bad for an English speaking band.
They than began to work on producing a version for other well know languages.
Kuon almost missed his 18 birthday but his Mother dragged him to celebrate it and even his fans were wishing him a happy birthday.
They spent it on beach and had beach dinner.
And once again the band was entered into the yearly Boy Band competition, everybody knew they were serious contenders when they heard who they were.
They were no longer a no name band.
However, the other bands weren't ready to see how much they grew since they got onto the stage last year.
The place was jumping the moment everybody realised they were playing the song that broke into the charts.
There was no confusion this time and they went straight for the high without mercy.
Two judges began to get up and dance when they got to the chorus.
Was it a wonder that they won the second time, around?
Both Chadly and Shawn turned 18 before they went on their your the second time around tour.
Having been on it before, they were much better at handling it the second time around and they played at more high profiled places like stadiums and hung out with their celebrity friends they had made the first time around.
Christina even came to see them in secret by crashing their after party.
However, what they didn't expect was their tour to extended to the UK as well, the plane ride was a shock to the senses.
And for the first time they met their British fans, they tried shopping in London at a high street store, now they were all receiving proper pay cheques.
The British food was certain interesting to taste and the British mostly gloomy weather was interested as well, they played often in the rain.
They met British actors and musicians on their road, they were went on Radios and did Tv interviews, before they gave Britain a bow before going back into the plane.
They flew back and saw their fan base had reached over 2 million, that was insane for a 2 year old band.
As soon as Kuon arrived on American soil, his mother was teaching him how to drive in a car she had gotten him when he turned 18.
It was than they got request to appear in little things like make a tv cameo or even be judges for a talent show, they could even advertise a bowl of cereal.
It was crazy, they were making cameos everywhere and signed endorsement deals.
Chardly was the first to present to his family that he had paid off the house morgue.
The rest could only imagine the touching moment, as Chadly was seen with suspicious red eyes the same night they video chatted with each other.
And than with all this exposure, naturally other musicians and people who worked in the industry came running.
Shawn was hired to rap in another singer song, of course he told the listeners who he was and where he was from before properly singing his lines.
A nice piece of publicity in case, the people who hired him 'forgot' to add that in the title.
When they finished translating all their latest songs in other common languages, it was time for the Rookie Boyband Competition once again, Astar and Kuon 19th birthdays had passed.
That night it was recorded that it was the highest ratings the show had ever seen as they all know this was Vigour last time they would be able to compete.
When they got onto the stage, they all looked like big time rock stars.
They were almost there.
This time they got all three judges dancing immediately and even got them on stage and sing the words with them.
Even though the song was a year old, it had an lasting charm.
When they got off the stage, they had to ignored the shouts for more.
They got back onto the stage after all the bands were done and we're presented with first place.
For the first time in the competition history, a band had won three times in a row, they just had to give them a special trophy for that.
The band to America, England and for the first time ever Asia.
Although Kuon did most of the speaking, Kuon had hammered into them how to sing in that particular language and American bands were in awe that they could sing in another language so well and it didn't sound terrible or awkward.
When they got home, you could say they were all millionaires, now.
No, they were millionaire's.
Each of their families were moved to rich and expensive houses in High end places.
The same could be said for Kuon mother.
But like all Bands without releasing a Single for a long time, their popularity would eventually go down.
"We need to make a new single and fast" said, Shawn as they sat in their now personal recording booth.
They had come a long way.
"I think it's time for Kuon to sing again" said, Astar as Kuon blinked. "That's what really defined our first album"
"I think he should sing the first track" said, Chadly having grown more confident.
And Kuon had no problem with it, so they all got to work with writing a new album, there fans were especially excited when they heard they were producing a new album.
What was great about Kuon was that he could sing the words in several languages while they wrote it, the whole album took 5 months to produce, and several days to get the music video for the first track, the rest would could later.
The track was called Roaring.
Kuon and his band mates had a special feeling about this tracks when they listened and the overall album.
They had somebody record for them and than develops for them, it took 2 months, to get it developed with a candle on the front with the name Vigure.
It hit shelves, the same time they received their copies of their CDs.
Their fans flocked to listen to their latest album, the band went to sleep, not knowing how crazy successful it was doing all around the world.
#Morning In Japan#
Sho Fuwa, age 40 sat in his Jacuzzi surrounded by the hottest female group in Japan.
He may be in his 40's but he had been king of Japans music charts for over 20 years, something that had never happened before and made sure he would go down in Japan history.
"Sho, have you seen today reports for the top Japanese musician charts?" said, his no longer young manager, Shoko Aki.
"Why should I?" said, Sho. "I will be number just like every month for the past over 20 years"
"Sho, your second" Shoko dropped a bomb shell.
"What?" Sho said, his smile dropping.
"Your second" she said, and she gave the chart to Sho.
Sho took it and saw his name wasnt at the top but below it.
At the top was A person or band called 'Vigure'.
"This is a mistake," said, Sho.
However, Statics do not lie.
And then he saw it.
His giant billboard advertising his latest album was being covered over.
