'Who is this? Some new artist?'
'Oh my god! See at how pretty her voice is…'
'Peace B is my network ID!'
'Did you see? It's now on the number one spot on Itunes!'
'It's also in English?'
"WHA!?" Rin said, looking into a magazine.
Who is the mysterious BoA?
Lately on the radio, teenager's Ipods and MP3 players, and in every music store, the song ID; PEACE B has been selling like hotcakes, reaching the maximum of 3 million copies sold over the course of five days. Unheard of for a debut artist. The request for a full length album is now in high demand for today's youth. Even more is at least a picture of the mysterious voice that belongs to this rising star. Will Takahashi Inutashio, the head of Shikon records, help us with solving the mystery?
Well, I'm going to do a short appearance on MTVJapan if that's what they call solving the mystery… Rin thought to herself, as she entered the fashion department.
"Konichiwa Rin- San!" a woman said, particularly tackling Rin as she walked into the room. She was wearing a tight with t- shirt, denim caprice and black sandals. Her long black hair was tied back into a low ponytail.
"My name's Kikyo. I'll be your fashion coordinator and make up artist. Thought I have to say, you don't need much help when it comes to clothes."
"Um… thanks?"
"But I can tell you your outfit now isn't going to cut it for the debut with a live audience." Kikyo continued as she scavenged through 'the closet'.
"Excuse me?"
"Well, your outfit needs to shine when you're on stage. Make up and your pretty voice isn't going to cut it alone."
Rin did not like where this was going. This girl called Kikyo was giving her the strangest look.
"This is going to be fun…" Kikyo said evilly.
Rin tried to run out of the room, but Kikyo pushed her into the styling chair.
"Oh come on and corporate already! We only got five hours till the show!" Kikyo said.
Ok… now I'm officially scared…
(Four hours later)
"Kikyo, what's taking so long?" Inutashio asked annoyed. If she wasn't the best…
"Trust me! Now she's ready!" Kikyo said, opening the door. Sesshomaru, who was standing right behind Inutashio, if he didn't have any manners, would have dropped his jaw.
Rin's black hair now had a reddish tint to it. Her outfit consisted of a sleeveless orange checkered Daisy Duke styled shirt that was tied in a way so her stomach showed. She was also wearing low rise denim jeans, lots of bracelets on her wrists, long beads around her neck, and thick heeled boots suited for dancing. (A/N: On the shirt pattern, just think about her kimono design in the anime). Her make up just highlighted her features.
"She's ready to perform!" Kikyo said. "And it took a while trying figure out what to do for make up. I mean she's just too pretty for it…"
Sesshomaru wasn't paying any attention to Kikyo. He watched Rin as she shuffled through papers, trying to find her new notebook (She still hasn't gotten her original notebook back…)
"Ok… so it's one…two…three… four…" Rin muttered under her breath, as she did a few dance moves. This was going to be the first time in a long time that she was going to perform in front of a decent size crowd, so she had to make sure everything was perfect. The outfit Kikyo picked out for her actually made the moves more elaborate that usual.
"Are you ready?" Sesshomaru asked, trying not to look any lower and focusing on her face. Rin gave Sesshomaru a look.
"Almost. Just back off for a bit so I can work on the routine…" Rin said bitterly.
(Later)
"We're going live in five… four…three… two…one!" Kagome said, gripping the clipboard as the theme music for the music countdown played.
"Evening everyone, I'm Inuyasha Takahashi, the guest host for tonight." The fan girls screamed and cheered as their idol spoke.
Calm down Kagome… remember he's a celebrity… besides… you're his girlfriend…so don't get jealous…Kagome thought to herself.
"Anyway, very special night tonight. We've all probably been wondering about the new song that's been floating around Japan lately, ID; Peace B by BoA. Well, tonight, we're going to meet her tonight." (Insert crowd cheers again)
"Now be nice to her. His is her first performance so give it up for BoA!"
The stage went dark, the fans squealed in anticipation. Then loud music started to play. Lights flashed everywhere. The fans went nuts when the dancers started to do their thing. But all eyes were on the girl in the orange shirt. Kami… hope they like me… Rin thought to herself. She started to sing…
Kakujitsu ni watashi no mirai wo makikonde
Koi wa hashiri dashita kimi no te wo tsukanda
Ryougawa kara moeru hanabi mitai datta
Shisen mo hagase nai Oh, Step in Step in, Baby
Doushite deaeta no doushite watashi na no
Boy, I fall in love with you
Kono shunkan mo
TAITO na JIINZU ni neji komu
Watashi toiu tatakau BODI
Donna chiisana negai ni mo
Tsuranuku CHANSU wo agete My Dream
Inutashio knew it. Rin had an amazing stage presence. All the audience members were out of their seats and dancing to Rin's song, even if it wasn't the released single. Sesshomaru saw her shine as well.
Yabure ta JIINZU to sensai sugiru me wo
Mamotte agetakute kazoku ni wa ie nai
Daiji na mono kurai jibun de mamoreru yo
Soko wo tobi koete yo Oh, Step in Step in, Baby
Muimi natsu yogari mo katte nakuchibiru mo
Just, I fall in love with you
Zenbu uketotte
Kimi to watashi no aida ni
Ai ga mitsukerare nai nara
Sekaijuu no ne doko ni mo
Sonna mono nante nai no My Dream
Hanare cha imi naijan kizen toshite taijan
Boy, I fall in love with you
Koko de tatakatte
Hashiru kodou wo eranda
Futari toiu ikiteru BODI
Donna kasukana yokan ni mo
Shinjiru chikara wo agete My Dream
TAITO na JIINZU ni neji komu
Watashi toiu tatakau BODI
Donna chiisana negai ni mo
Kagayaku CHANSU wo agete My Dream
The fans screamed louder as she sang the high ending notes. Then as soon as the music stopped, she stopped. The fans cheered as she bowed.
(Somewhere in Tokyo)
"She's… actually pretty good." A woman that could pass as an older Rin said.
"I still think she's throwing her life away…" the man beside her said.
(Back at the studio)
Rin sat nest to Inuyasha. She changed out of her performance outfit and into a full white tank top (That covers everything), a denim jacket, denim caprice, and black strap heels.
"So, BoA- Chan," Inuyasha said. He sure knew when to play the part... "How was that for a first performance?"
"Honestly… I thought it was going to be a bigger group." BoA (AKA Rin) said. The two laughed.
"So it been a big week for you hasn't it?"
"Yeah. I wake up one morning to my radio alarm clock playing IB; Peace B. I was acting like any other girl would, screaming and jumping on the bed because I couldn't believe that it was my voice on the radio. What I wasn't expecting, which was a totally awesome surprise, was with how it sell the way it did."
"Any big plans for the future?"
"Hopefully, perform at the Nagoya Rainbow Hall one day."
"Wow that would be a pretty big crowd."
"Well, that's the goal…"
"Well good luck with that. And thanks for joining us."
"Thanks for having me!"
"Coming Up! Utada Hikaru's new Music Video, Stick Around!"
"And Cut!"
