Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, KNOW YOUR STARS – LA CORDA D'ORO brings you some of the lesser known characters – but nevertheless, these ladies themselves are loved… please welcome Kobayashi Nao and Takato Mio!!!
Takato Mio: thanks for having us!
Kobayashi Nao: yeah! The show that interviewed Kaho, after all
Announcer: while you two take on side roles, I'm sure there is some time you'd be in the limelight yourself…
Takato Mio: well… I want the violin romance to come true!!!! *dreamy eyes* the miraculous violin romance!
Camera-man: OY that's my line…
Kobayashi Nao: what kind of limelight would I have… I'm not that much a fan of boys…
Announcer: WHAT?! You're not a fan of boys?
* Kobayashi Nao shakes head*
Kobayashi Nao: well…
*gong noise*
Kobayashi Nao: they're too clingy or stupid or annoying or…
*Announcer trying hard to conceal laughter*
Takato Mio: ne, Nao, don't be like that…
Kobayashi Nao: but it's true! Why should I bother with them…
Camera-man: because it's fun for me to film when you do
Announcer: So neither of you are very much interested in the opposite sex?
Takato Mio: well… there is yunoki-senpai!!!!!!!!!! *dreamy eyes*
Kobayashi Nao: Mio…
Takato Mio: well, we're the same star sign!!! It's nearly fated!!!!!!!
Yunoki Azuma: it does look like that, doesn't it…
*Announcer gasps at sudden appearance of Yunoki Azuma*
Announcer: welcome our previous guest, Yunoki Azuma!
*crowd cheers*
Announcer: so, does the famous Yunoki Azuma believe in horoscopes?
Yunoki Azuma: I'm not a big believer in them. I know I'm a Gemini…
Takato Mio: me too!!! Yunoki-senpai, do you have a girlfriend?
*Yunoki Azuma looks to Announcer-san*
*Announcer gulps*
*crowd silences*
Yunoki Azuma: I'm a very busy person, so I doubt any girl will want me…
*crowd gasps in dismay*
*Announcer raises eyebrow before composing face*
Takato Mio: I see… I don't mind, yunoki-senpai!
Yunoki Azuma: arigatou… dakara… my schedule is busy for quite a while…
Takato Mio: oh
Kobayashi Nao: where did you pop out of?
Takato Mio: don't be so rude to yunoki-senpai!!!
Yunoki Azuma: arigatou… but… I'm always around here. It's become a habit, nearly.
Camera-man: a habit because you heart Announcer-san bad…
*Camera-man winks at Announcer-san*
*Announcer gulps*
Announcer: anyhow… what do you think are Hino Kahoko's prospects with the guys?
Takato Mio: oh Mor-mmph!
*Yunoki Azuma politely blocks Takato Mio's mouth*
*Takato Mio blushes*
*Yunoki Azuma slowly puts hand away*
Takato Mio: a-a-arigatou yunoki-senpai… eto… kaho-chan… probably with Tsukimori-kun!
Kobayashi Nao: I think with Tsuchiura-kun, actually. He's a lot nicer than that violinist
Takato Mio: ne, but think of the violin romance! Tsukimori-kun's definitely the one!!!
Kobayashi Nao: the guy's an Ice Prince!!! Why in the world… even Hihara-senpai's better than him. And Yunoki-senpai too!
*Yunoki Azuma blinks*
*Yunoki Azuma mutters to self*
Yunoki Azuma: I'm a lot worse than what you think I am…
*Announcer overhears muttering and raises eyebrow*
Announcer: I see you're quite divided… all of you have equal chance, right, Yunoki Azuma?
Yunoki Azuma: I would think as much, yes…
*loud honking noise*
Yunoki Azuma: aah, it looks like I'll have to leave early. I'll catch up with you later, ladies.
*Yunoki Azuma leaves*
Announcer: well, Yunoki Azuma did agree with me… how long have you crushed on 'Yunoki-senpai' for, Takato Mio?
Takato Mio: for ages… ever since Kaho-chan was in the concours with him…
Kobayashi Nao: you'll never stop talking about him – to ANYONE you met! You even bothered Kaho several times, Mio!
Takato Mio: ano… but he's so perfect!!!
Camera-man: right, as if I'll believe that
*Announcer coughs*
Announcer: gomen… but maybe perfect isn't always perfect? Like… Hino Kahoko's probably considered perfect, but is she really? Her violin skills, her looks etc…
Takato Mio: I get what you mean… but Yunoki-senpai ticks all the boxes!!!!
Kobayashi Nao: you nearly sound like one of those fangirls…
Takato Mio: really??? Me?
Kobayashi Nao: yes, you.
Takato Mio: well, I don't really want to join the Yunoki Guard or anything…
Kobayashi Nao: that's good to know. I'd probably disown you as a friend
Takato Mio: what?!?!
*Announcer laughs*
Announcer: you two oddly get along so well… with everyone else
Takato Mio: hai… Kaho-chan and Amou-san and Mor-mmph! Nande?!?!?
*Announcer blocks Takato Mio's mouth, and slowly takes her hand off*
Announcer: I get it… *smiles*
Takato Mio: h-hai… and shimizu-kun is very kawaii too…
Kobayashi Nao: Shimizu? The first year cello? He's not bad…
Takato Mio: ne, you never get cute or perfect or anything when it comes to guys, do you???
Kobayashi Nao: no, not really.
Takato Mio: how come!!!!!
Kobayashi Nao: I don't know myself… but I think it's good. Then I'm not as easily fooled…
Announcer: many girls would love to not be fazed by good looking guys or sweet words and gestures… you are very lucky, Kobayashi Nao. Although, do tell me, your obsession with band NEWS..?
Kobayashi Nao: how do you know…
Takato Mio: NEWS? Who're they?
Kobayashi Nao: an awesome group of guys who sing soooo well!!! I love their songs, and so does Kaho!
Takato Mio: EHHH?!?! How come I never knew about them????
Kobayashi Nao: I thought you already did know Mio!!
Announcer: okay, okay… we don't have time for petty squabbles…
Takato Mio: don't say it like that Mori-mmmmph!!! Nande?!?
Announcer: because. The show's going to go on forever if you keep talking.
Camera-man: and because our cover looks like it's going to run out
Kobayashi Nao: Announcer-san is right though… we should be having lots of fun on this show… after all, you revealed so much about everyone before us that we never knew…
Announcer: yes… the show did do that… what are you trying to reveal about yourself…
Kobayashi Nao: *whisper* that I'm crushing on Kaho
*Announcer gapes*
*crowd silences immediately*
Announcer: say WHAT?!?
Kobayashi Nao: I'm not saying it again…
Takato Mio: what did you say, Nao??
Announcer: well… It doesn't really matter if you didn't hear… maybe it wasn't important?
*Announcer looks at Kobayashi Nao*
Kobayashi Nao: no, it's not really that important…
Takato Mio: ehh, but aren't I…
Announcer: Takato Mio, what is the biggest secret besides your evident love for the violin romance to come true and Yunoki Azuma that you have…
Takato Mio: biggest secret? Umm… do I have one?
Kobayashi Nao: ehh? You're this… clueless at times?
Takato Mio: clueless? I'm not…
Announcer: ahahaha, it seems you are… extremely clueless at times. That's quite interesting; maybe Hino Kahoko takes after you in some way, Takato Mio?
Takato Mio: why would you say that?
Kobayashi Nao: yeah, how come
Announcer: well, she can't see the liking that all those guys around her have, can she?
Takato Mio: well, that's true…
Kobayashi Nao: I guess that's a fair point
Takato Mio: but we can make her see, can't we?
Kobayashi Nao: that's true… it wouldn't be easy though. She's quite bad when it comes to herself.
Takato Mio: that's true… very bad indeed
Kobayashi Nao: we'd have to come up with an awesome idea to do it…
Hino Kahoko: Nao, Mio… stop talking about me behind my back!
*Takato Mio and Kobayashi Nao both scream for a short while*
Announcer: ohh… how did you come back, Hino Kahoko? You surely couldn't have heard the talking…
Hino Kahoko: I did actually… it was irritating me quite a bit…
*Hino Kahoko narrows eyes at Kobayashi Nao and Takato Mio*
Kobayashi Nao: g-g-gomen…
Takato Mio: we weren't really planning anything… Kaho-chan…
*gong noise*
Announcer: well, it looks like the end of KNOW YOUR STARS – LA CORDA D'ORO for tonight! We'll see everyone next time!!!!
After the show…
Announcer: I can't believe how close it was… that girl just cannot keep her mouth shut…
Camera-man: I agree… there may be trouble now on for you…
Yunoki Azuma: what happened while I wasn't around?
*Announcer blinks*
Announcer: it looks like my situation has been compromised… we'll have to pull the Director in
*Camera-man gapes*
Camera-man: is it really THAT bad to have to pull the Director in???? Surely… we can hide this or something?
Announcer: don't be so stupid. Everything will be compromised if we don't do something about it
DIRECTOR: Announcer-san is precisely right, Camera-woman-san.
Camera-man: you KNEW?!?
DIRECTOR: of course I did. I had Azuma keeping an eye for me.
*Yunoki Azuma smiles*
Announcer: no wonder you've been here often… can't we discuss what will happen another time… I'm so tired…
DIRECTOR: go get some rest, we'll be back in the office shortly to discuss our emergency strategy for this. Azuma-san, thanks for your cooperation.
Yunoki Azuma: no problems at all. It's been a pleasure.
*Announcer-san and Camera-man leaves*
*Yunoki Azuma leaves*
DIRECTOR: it looks like I'll have to bring the substitutes in…
