This chapter is dedicated to Gekkabijin, whose awesome reviews kept me continually entertained – you rock, and keep on doing it!
If I make a mistake somewhere along here... don't let me know, because it's probably on purpose :P

Backstage before the show begins
Announcer: i can't believe i'm still here...
Camera-man: well, the audience has spoken – and they've spoken for you to stay
Announcer: i really don't understand it!!!
Camera-man: you can figure it out later. We've got another episode beginning in 5.
*Announcer nods*
Camera-man: i'm going to ensure the crew are ready – good luck
|~-~|
*crowd cheers wildly at the sight of Announcer-san*
Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, as you know, I've been having a few issues with this whole show. However, KNOW YOUR STARS – LA CORDA D'ORO is getting back to business – and today's guest...
Kanazawa Hiroto: yo
Announcer: w-when did you get here, music teacher Kanazawa Hiroto?
Kanazawa Hiroto: not too long ago... so i haven't been kept waiting
*Announcer sighs in relief*
Announcer: now...
*gong noise*
Announcer: is it true that you can't sleep without dreaming of you and Ousaki Shinobu in some compromising, steamy situation?
Kanazawa Hiroto: i dream of the guy... but...
*Announcer gasps*
Announcer: tell the crowd in detail one of those particular scenes
Kanazawa Hiroto: well...
*crowd silences in anticipation*
*Camera-man focuses main camera on Kanazawa Hiroto*
Kanazawa Hiroto: i was singing to Shinobu's violin... when we finished he put down his violin and i ran towards him and hugged him...
Camera-man: c'mon, a nice, juicy spill...
Kanazawa Hiroto: and somehow, soon after, we both ended up naked on my big bed, panting and moaning
*crowd gasps*
*Announcer gapes*
Kanazawa Hiroto: i don't really want to go into the details... after all, this is a family friendly show, right?
Camera-man: family-friendly show my a**... we manage to put Len Tsukimori the acclaimed violinist as a wannabe av, Ryoutarou Tsuchiura the fingers man as a sex addict, Azuma Yunoki the calm flutist as a bisexual with an extreme dark side, Kahoko Hino the magical violin girl having hidden feelings for our flutist enough to call him informally by first name, and Kazuki Hihara having a makeout scene in front of our cameras with Azuma Yunoki!!! This is no longer a family-friendly show – no, this is a show of pure scandal and rumour...
*Announcer nods*
Announcer: it most definitely is... moving along, Hino Kahoko looks a lot like your beloved Caterina, is that so?
*Kanazawa Hiroto nods*
Kanazawa Hiroto: enough that I'd probably be able to burst into song around her... but... alas, my voice is ruined from all the cigarettes and damage i've done to it...
Announcer: it probably is still there... enough that you managed to serenade Hino Kahoko on at least one occasion, right?
*Kanazawa Hiroto blushes*
*crowd gasps*
Camera-man: scandalous, yet subtle. Announcer-san is going well...
Kanazawa Hiroto: i... i won't deny it...
Announcer: while you haven't actually tried to make an actual move on her, like kiss her... you've done quite a few things close enough...
Kanazawa Hiroto: i'm still a teacher! Don't suspect me of that kind of...
Announcer: of course not. That is, if lightly touching her knuckles with your lips or exhaling in her ear after a song, if they don't meet the condition...
Kanazawa Hiroto: it... it was only to show those kids a lesson that they better get moving! Being slow only wastes time, and over time the girl just moves on anyways...
*Announcer's eyes twinkle*
Announcer: i assume you are speaking from personal experience when you say this...
Kanazawa Hiroto: of course i am! I like passing on pearls of wisdom to my students!!!
Announcer: although the cats... how do they work? Do they just come because they smell the food, or is it because they're attracted to you...
*Kanazawa Hiroto laughs*
Kanazawa Hiroto: I'd like to say that it was the latter but sadly I really think it's because of the food...
*Kanazawa Hiroto blinks as he hears a distinct 'meow' sound*
*Announcer gapes as the cat comes into the show, and rests itself on Kanazawa Hiroto's lap*
Announcer: it looks like it's the latter then!
*Kanazawa Hiroto smiles, while stroking the cat lightly with his fingers*
Kanazawa Hiroto: it's turning out that way, definitely...
*crowd murmurs appreciation*
Camera-man: tch... is he a cat magnet or something? Announcer-san, come on...
Announcer: have you ever considered looking at giving the kind of attention you give that cat to someone of the opposite sex?
*crowd gasps*
*Camera-man gapes*
*Kanazawa Hiroto laughs*
Kanazawa Hiroto: i don't know if there's any woman out there that'll have me...
*single females in the crowd squeal*
*Announcer laughs*
Announcer: you already have fans, i see...
Kanazawa Hiroto: ahahaha, if all you ladies give me your numbers, I'll promise to be in touch
*Announcer is stunned into silence*
*single females squeal even more, and bits of paper are being thrown onto the show area*
*Kanazawa Hiroto bends to pick them up, straightening them, smiling*
Kanazawa Hiroto: arigatou, arigatou
*Camera-man steers camera towards the moving Kanazawa Hiroto*
Camera-man: what in the world are you doing...
Crazed fangirl: Kanazawa-sama, i love you!!!
*crowd is silenced immediately*
*Announcer gapes*
*Camera-man grins*
Kanazawa Hiroto: uhh, where was that from...
*Crazed fangirl waves hands frantically, while running up to show area*
Kanazawa Hiroto: well umm, arigatou – hmmm?!
*Crazed fangirl has managed to run towards him, and kissed him on the lips*
*Announcer smiles*
*Camera-man grins even more and focuses on scene*
*Kanazawa Hiroto and crazed fangirl are doing a passionate, long kiss...*
Announcer: well, i guess it's not every day love starts on the show, so congratulations! You two may now leave the building, and head to the limousine which will take you to a 5-star hotel where you can do ALL that you want!
*Kanazawa Hiroto and crazed fangirl somehow make it outside the building*
Announcer: it looks like the show's ending early today, folks –
*gong noise*
Announcer: ... and, we're right on time! Thank you ladies and gentlemen for staying tuned to KNOW YOUR STARS – LA CORDA D'ORO! Goodnight!!!!
After the show...
Camera-man: interesting way to start back... i must admit you handled yourself well
Yunoki Azuma: of course she did. With my help, of course.
Announcer: Yunoki Azuma?! Why are you here again?!?!?
Yunoki Azuma: just for you, as always... and here
*gives bouquet of flowers*
Announcer: ehh... ahh... a-a... arigatou! I guess I didn't do it too bad...
Yunoki Azuma: of course not. Although, i'm sad Kanazawa-sensei managed to get camera time with a nameless girl...
*Camera-man grins, and runs towards a camera, putting it in Yunoki Azuma and Announcer-san's direction*
Announcer: why are you sad about that for?
Yunoki Azuma: because... i've never been able to get that time with you
*places his arms around her waist and kisses her deeply*
*Announcer widens eyes in surprise, and closes them, moaning Azuma's name*
*Camera-man can't stop grinning*
Camera-man: this must be the best footage ever...
*Yunoki Azuma breaks kiss, smiles*
*Announcer is dazed*
Yunoki Azuma: now i'm quite satisfied... i've gotten my camera time with you.
*Announcer blushes*
Announcer: w-what...
*Yunoki Azuma points to Camera-man*
*Announcer gapes*
Announcer: TURN THAT OFF ALREADY!!!!
*Camera-man pouts, before turning off camera*
Announcer: you're so evil, Yunoki Azuma...
Yunoki Azuma: and you're just as cruel, trying to pretend it never happened...
Announcer: what?
*Yunoki Azuma whispers into her ear*
Yunoki Azuma: you were calling me Azuma before. I want you to always call me that way.
*Yunoki Azuma leaves building*
*Announcer stands there gaping and trying to comprehend what just happened*
Announcer: what... what...
Camera-man: as expected of him... good night, Announcer-san. I'll see you next week, I assume?
*Announcer nods*
*Announcer and Camera-man leave the building, and head their separate ways*
