Track 1- One Desire
Bad Luck is preparing for a new worldwide tour to promote their album "Revolution."
After performing as an opening band for Nittle Grasper one year ago, the J-rock threesome is hitting the road on tour. Rumor has it the president of NG records, Tohma Seguchi, is searching for a new band to open for them. He is searching Tokyo for a new band…
"KYAAAAAAAAH! I'M LATE!"
A girl ran down the streets of Tokyo, pink hair poking out of an orange cap.
"Man! I can't believe I overslept today! Taiko's going to kill me!"
She kept running down the street, leaping over benches and plants.
"I have to get to the café!"
She ran through the park, and jumped over a bench where an old man was sitting on.
"Hey! Watch where you're going you little whippersnapper!" he said.
"Gomen-nasai!" she said.
She ran out of the park and into the street.
"Oh man oh man oh man oh man!" she said. "I'm so dead if I don't hurry up!"
"Look out!"
"Huh?"
A giant truck appeared out of nowhere, heading straight for her.
"Oh no…"
She froze at that spot, eyes filled with terror.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
She closed her eyes and screamed, waiting for the worst.
"Hey! Look out!"
She felt someone grab her and carrying her out of the way. They both fell onto the sidewalk, and her hat flew off her head, her hair tumbling down. She opened her eyes and stared into a pair of black eyes.
"KYAAAAH!"
She screamed and scooted away. As she backed up, she began to notice that the eyes belonged to a pink bunny with a red bowtie.
"A bunny rabbit?" she said.
"Hahahahahahaha!"
She looked behind the bunny to see a boy with greenish-brown hair tucked under a blue baseball cap laughing uncontrollably. He smiled at the girl and opened his eyes.
"Yay! Look Kumagoro!" he said to the bunny. "We saved the girl! We're heroes! YAY!"
The girl grumbled and placed a hand on top of her head to adjust her cap. But, all she felt was her hair. She realized this and began to search all around her.
"Whatcha doing?" he asked.
The girl looked up at the smiling boy, and sighed.
"I'm looking for my cap…" she said.
"Cap?"
The boy reached into his pocket and pulled out a shiny bottlecap.
"Here's your cap!" he said with another cheesy smile.
The girl sighed.
"I don't mean a bottlecap, I mean a hat…"
"Oh! A hat! I've got hats! Lots of hats!"
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a beret.
"Is this it?" he asked.
The girl shook her head.
"Okay! I've still got more hats!"
He reached into his pocket again and pulled out a straw hat.
"How about this one?" he asked.
The girl shook her head again, a little annoyed.
"That's okay!" he said. "I've got a lot more hats!"
He pulled out a sombrero.
"How about this?"
He pulled out a cowboy hat.
"Or maybe this one?"
He pulled out a beanie.
"Maybe this one is yours!"
He began pulling out more hats from his pockets.
"How about this? Or this? Or this? Or this?"
The girl had just about had it with this clown. She was late, and Taiko was going to kill her if she missed the gig.
"No…No…NO!" she screamed. "It's not any of those hats!"
She then grabbed the blue baseball cap off his head and held it in front of him.
"It's a hat that looks like this! Except it's orange! It my ca…"
She stopped and stared at the boy. His greenish-brown hair began to sway in the breeze, her eyes affixed on his eyes. She turned pink and began to blush.
Man…this boy is cute…she thought.
The boy began to suddenly advance toward her.
"Hey…Wh-what are you doing?"
The girl began to turn red, as the boy's hand began moving toward her backside.
"Hey! Don't touch me there!"
She punched him hard in the face, knocking him out. She leaped up suddenly and brushed herself off.
"Sick Pervert! HENTAI!"
She turned around to leave, and spied her orange cap.
"My hat!"
She picked it up from behind her and placed it on her head.
"It was behind me all along!" she said, smiling.
She noticed her watch, and screamed.
"KYAAAAH! I'm late! I've got to hurry!"
She took off running again, leaving the boy with the bunny passed out, eyes swirling.
Atsuru Café
"WHERE THE HELL IS SHE!"
A girl with hair tied into a low braid was pacing back and forth, getting angrier and angrier with every step.
"GOD DAMN IT! SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE AN HOUR AGO! WHERE IS SHE!"
Another girl with hair in two ponytails was sitting on the ground, sipping a soda and watching the older girl.
"Tai-Tai…" she said. "…You're overreacting. Sarai will be here soon…"
The older girl adjusted her sunglasses.
"Kiyuri…" she said. "How many times have I told you not to call me that…my name's Taiko."
Kiyuri smiled and sipped her soda.
"But I like calling you Tai-Tai…" she said.
Taiko sighed.
"Where is Sarai?" she said.
"HERE I COME!"
The two girls spotted a familiar person running towards them. She leaped into the air and smiled.
"YATTAAAAAAAAAAA!" she screamed.
She landed in front of them, smiling.
"Hey Kiyuri! Hey Taiko! What's up?"
Taiko grabbed Sarai by her shirt.
"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE AN HOUR AGO SARAI! YOU NEARLY GAVE ME AND KIYURI A HEART ATTACK! WE THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T GOING TO SHOW UP! DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN GOD DAMN IT!"
Sarai bowed in apology.
"I'm sorry Taiko…Gomen-nasai…"
Taiko smirked and ruffled Sarai's cap.
"At least you came…"
Kiyuri stood up and smiled.
"Come on!" she said. "We've got a gig to perform!"
The three of them entered the café.
"We're here!" said Sarai.
"About time!"
The owner began walking towards them, a vein popping out of his forehead.
"You supposed to be here hour ago!" he said. "Why you late?"
"It's a long story…" said Taiko.
"No time for stories! Customers getting restless! Go play now!"
"Okay okay…" said Sarai. "We're going…"
The three of them ran up onstage.
"Okay…" said Taiko. "We've only got a few minutes to set up…"
Kiyuri began tuning up her keyboard.
"Luckily, me and Tai-Tai set up before you got here!" she said.
Taiko began strumming on her guitar.
"Yeah…We planned ahead…"
Sarai took off her orange backpack and unzipped it. Inside it was a microphone and cord. She hooked up the cord to a speaker, and placed the mike in the stand.
"Check…Check…Testing one-two-three…"
Kiyuri covered her ears from the feedback.
"AIEEE! Sarai…turn it down!"
"Sorry!"
She adjusted the volume until the feedback vanished.
"Much better!"
She cleared her throat.
"Hello Atsuru Café! Are you ready to rock? We're known as One Desire! Kiyuri Kanemoto is on the keyboard, Taiko Hidorikawa is on guitar, and I'm Sarai Mitsumoko! We're here to give you some sweet ear candy to listen to! This is one of our own songs…It's called 'Shining Star' and we hope you like it! Give us a beat Kiyu!"
Kiyu began to play the keyboard.
"Taiko! Rock and Roll!"
Taiko began playing her guitar.
(Begin Song- I don't know Japanese so it's in English)
Hey Hey!
When I was just a girl
I made a wish
On the first star I saw in the sky
I dreamed of being famous
I picked up my microphone
And I sang
That's when I knew
This was for me
I then found out
My Destiny
I wanna be a Shining Star
I wanna rock on the big stage
I wanna sing my heart out
And be known all over the world
I wanna be number one
Show the world what I'm made of
No one can stop me
It's my Destiny
Shining star
Hey Hey!
So my friends and I
We made up a band
We bought some instruments
And we began to play
At first, we weren't that good
But with a lot of practice
We got better
And so we played
With all our hearts
We knew that this
Was for us
I wanna be a Shining Star
I wanna rock on the big stage
I wanna sing my heart out
And be known all over the world
I wanna be number one
Show the world what I'm made of
No one can stop me
It's my Destiny
Shining star
Sometimes we fall
But we get back up again
As long as we stick together
We'll never give up
(Instrumental)
And so we played
With all our hearts
We knew we could
Be the best!
I wanna be a Shining Star
I wanna rock on the big stage
I wanna sing my heart out
And be known all over the world
I wanna be number one
Show the world what I'm made of
No one can stop me
It's my destiny
SHINING STAR!
(End Song)
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Sarai opened her eyes, and sighed.
There was no one left in the café.
"You drive away all my customers!" said the owner. "You worst band ever!"
He kicked them out of the café, and they sighed.
"Don't ever come back!" he screamed.
At the park, the three girls were listening to Sarai's radio.
"Man!" said Taiko. "That's the fifth time that's happened."
Kiyuri smiled.
"Don't worry Tai-Tai!" she said. "We'll do better next time!"
Taiko rolled her eyes.
"Yeah right…that's what you always say…"
Sarai listened to the radio.
"And now…" the announcer said. "It's time for the most-requested song… 'The Rage Beat' by Bad Luck!"
A familiar song began to play, and Sarai smiled.
"Alright!" she said. "I love this song!"
She stood up and began lip-synching to the song, pretending there was a microphone in her hand.
"Oh boy!" said Kiyuri. "Sarai's song is playing…"
Taiko sighed.
"If only we could be as popular as Bad Luck…" she said. "…we need a big break…"
"Don't worry!" said Kiyuri. "Someday we'll get our big break…"
Sarai began really getting into character, and started copying dance moves from the video. Kiyuri began to laugh.
"Man, I still can't get into my head how much she looks like Shuichi when ever she hears that song and imitates him. If she'd cut her hair and put in purple contacts, she could look like his twin!"
Taiko smirked.
"She's been imitating him ever since she saw that video…" She said.
Sarai finished the song and did the final pose. Kiyuri and Taiko began to applaud.
"Thank you!" she said.
The two girls stopped clapping and stood there, mouths agape.
"Ne? What's up you two!"
She heard applause from behind her. She turned around and was astonished at who she saw.
A blonde-haired man wearing a black hat and overcoat was clapping, smiling happily.
"I was wondering where you were…" he said. "I've been looking for you at the café…but the owner said he kicked you out!"
Sarai gasped.
"No way…" she said. "You're…"
"AIEEEE! You're Tohma Seguchi!"
Kiyuri stood up, sparkling and squealing like a total fangirl.
"Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!" she said, still jumping up and down. "You're Tohma Seguchi! The former keyboardist for Nittle Grasper and the president of NG records! You're company also sponsors Bad Luck! You're the reason I wanted to become a musician!"
She pulled out a pen and a red notebook.
"Oh boy…" said Taiko. "Here we go again…"
Kiyuri held out the notebook, still sparkling and smiling.
"Please Seguchi-san! Can I have your autograph?" she said.
Tohma smiled and grabbed the pen.
"Certainly…"
He sighed the notebook, and Kiyuri squealed again.
"I've got his autograph! AIEEEEEE!"
Sarai grabbed Kiyuri by the collar.
"That's enough Kiyu…quit acting like the fangirl…"
Kiyuri smiled.
"Sorry Sarai!" she said. "I just had to get his autograph!"
Sarai sighed.
"So…" she said. "What's the great Tohma Seguchi doing looking for us?"
Tohma smiled and adjusted his hat.
"The truth is, that I was watching your performance from the back of the café, and I saw great potential in you three. I had been searching for a new band to open for Bad Luck's worldwide tour, and I haven't had very much luck searching for a band…"
"And?" said Taiko.
Tohma sighed.
"I happened to come across the café and I heard your band, and I thought that maybe you would be interested in opening for Bad Luck on their 'Revolution' Tour…"
The man was cut off by three girls screaming at the top of their lungs.
"Us?" said Kiyuri. "Us performing with the best band ever?"
"You must be joking…" said Taiko. "This could be our big break!"
"I'll…" said Sarai. "I'll get to be on stage, in front of everyone…singing?"
"IT'S OUR DREAM COME TRUE!" they all said.
Tohma laughed.
"So…are you girls accepting my offer?"
Sarai walked up to Tohma.
"Seguchi-san…" she said. "You've got yourself an opening act!"
