Watsuki-sama: "Say the disclaimer or I'll sue you!"
AnM: "Nani? Demo Watsuki-sensei, you've enjoyed lots of fame already. Grant me fifteen-minutes of fame."
Watsuki-sama: "I worked hard for it. Or did you think it's actually easy for a man (a straight one, 'cause I am straight, and if you dare doubt it, Kenshin will be more than obliged to Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki on you!) to come up with so many bishies, as you call them?"
AnM: "Oh, c'mon! Please?"
Watsuki-sama: "No is NO."
AnM: "Pretty please?" *starts craving*
Aoshi: *rubs temples* "STOP IT, WILL YA?! I've had enough! Rurouni Kenshin is NOT property of AnM!" *shakes head* "Oh kami, I'm going out of character again ..."

-- Talent Time Show / Part 3 --
With Sou-chan's Shukuchi AnM got hold of Sanosuke easily. Poor Sano. Neither Shouzo or Kenshin were allowed to help, and the others, well either they were too busy preparing for their performance or they didn't care at all, and we all know who topped that last list.
So that accounted for the noticeable empty space left after Sano's fans left following him to the music instruments store where our roosterhead would have to pay for the luxurious broken guitar by means of his attributes, whatever these are. However, to AnM's relief, the vacant area was almost intanstaneous filled by hundreds of the remaining's bishies' fans. And so Sanosuke's ordeal was soon forgotten by all, specially when AnM introduced the first band ready to perform.
AnM: " ... with you, our first band ... !"
Souzou, Shougo, Shozo (A/N: What a tongue twister, ne?) come out dressing uniformly with white satin shirts with flowing sleeves (surprisingly) buttoned only halfway up and black slacks plus their trademark accesory: a red headband for Souzou, a golden metal headband for Shougo, and a yellow bandana for Shozo. In overall, the three were well groomed, well dressed and very well made to die for!
AnM: "... Souzou, Shougo and Shozo. Let's welcome S3!!" (pronounced "striptez" XD)
Audience goes frantic with eagerness for they think AnM actually said "striptease." Wait, she did say "striptease." (audience: "Yes, she did.") Now, did she really mean it? An striptease performance starring Souzou, Shougo and Shozo above all??? Nah! Must have been a mistake (AnM: "Yes, a mistake. An intentional mistake! Muahaha! I'm sooo evil! Not really, that is coming soon.). Audience does not seem to get that through their striptease clouded minds though, so they keep asking for the show, and this gets our three bishies visibly doubtful on going on with any performance.
AnM: "Now girls ... Oopps! Gome nasai! Girls AND boys, I meant." *winces* "As I was saying, either you control your er.. yourselves or these three MEN will leave the stage. Oh no ... not mine, it was their saying. I'm blameless."
Upon this threat, the fandom quietens gradually and applauds fervently urging the bishies to perform. AnM motions them and S3 takes the stage, still a little cautiously. The lights are turned off and the guys, each with a mic on hand, take their respective places on stage.
Light illuminates Souzou's spot and he can be seen lifting his head and bringing a well known leave to his lips. The exquisite melody that flows easily captivates the audience and jury, who look on Souzou marveled. He starts singing slowly.
Souzou:
Blindfolded I dreamt of an
Utopia in the middle of chaos
Fighting hand in hand
I keep with me the pure souls
Coz I wanna see them grow
The first light is reduced to a dim light and a second light falls on the stage, this time on Shougo, who looks up and starts singing in a deep, soft voice.
Shougo:
How can my soul bear all the pain
If no one's by my side
How can their hearts room all that hate
I will fight to hear your voice
Coz I wanna know
A third light falls over Shozo as the second one turns into a dim light joining the first. Shozo
takes over where Souzou left, singing with clarity and emotion.
Shozo:
For those you love
Sacrifice comes peacefully
When passion does more
I give it all for a last smile
Coz I wanna feel that warm glow
The three lights merge into one falling over the three figures.
Shougo, Shozo, Souzou:
And then I wonder if it wasn't a lie
When my world collapsed I wanted to cry
My heart ached but I held the tears back
And now I wonder if I am right
Coz my heart cries every night
Shougo, Shozo, Souzou:
And then I wondered if it wasn't a lie
When my world collapsed I wanted to cry
My heart ached but I held the tears back
And now I wonder if I am right
Shougo: Coz I wanna know
Souzou: Coz I wanna see them grow
Shozo: Coz I wanna feel that warm glow
Shougo, Shozo, Souzou:
Coz my heart needs to understand (ah ah aa)
The last musical note ends and the reaction is still to be given. S3's song approach was considerably different from Aoshi's or Sano and Saitou's. Yeah, it was a rather sad song. The S3 fandom throws roses and erupts in a warmth wave of applause for the guys. AnM and the rest of the audience and jury join in the effusive response.
AnM: *wipes away few tears* "Sniff, that was nice guys, really nice. Sad but nice, really touching I'ld have to say."
S3: "Arigatou AnM!"
AnM: "They love you!"
S3: "Arigatou gozaimasu!" *smile and bow at public*
After some minutes that lasted the applauses and continued the drooling and stuff, AnM is able to make S3 a little interview.
AnM: "The name S3 stands for the initials of your names and the number 3 for you three, I suppose."
Souzou: "Hai, AnM. It is so."
AnM: "Whatever affected the inclusion of Sanosuke in this group then? He's got the S alright."
Shozo: "It was Mr. Shougo and I who first came up with the group idea, and it was originally intented to be a group of three members, so Mr. Shougo chose the best option."
Shougo: "We asked Souzou because among the S-named (Soujiro a.k.a. freaking smiley boy, Saitou a.k.a. smirking smoking mibu and Sanosuke a.k.a. roosterhead free loader) he is the only one who keeps his head in place."
AnM: *arches and eyebrow and motions for Souzou* "Is he? So it doesn't fall out anymore, eh my Captain Sagara?" *smiles at Souzou*
Five minutes more of silly stuff followed and S3 retreated to backstage.
AnM: "Now, ladies AND gentlemen, prepare to receive our second duet in this beautiful night, ..........!"
