"You can sort of it look at it this way - Akibastar is so big in the entertainment industry, it’s sort of like the universe’s Holllywood…There’s so much pressure to be perfect here. Everyone says to be yourself and dream big, just like in Hollywood, but if you do dare to dream big they’ll condemn you for it if you don’t meet their expectations." Because 0048 was so big on Akibastar, there were even specific schools just for girls to learn how to become idols. Jurina herself had attended a normal school, but she could only imagine how fierce the competition would be like in those specialised ones.
Jurina almost started drooling at the word ‘feast’ again. If there was that much food there, she was sure she would want to just stay at the table and eat her way through the entire trip. The performance though…Jurina’s eyes lit up as she thought of something.
"Performance! Why don’t we perform? I’m sure that what we learned in 00 would impress them!"
Seika hummed. “A double edged sword, huh? That’s rough! Atamistar is rather relaxed - people will get annoyed if you’re too cocky, but it’s in a more concerned way, I guess, to make sure you don’t set yourself up for failure.”
"That sounds awesome! didn’t Jurina do a solo Oogoe Diamond once? You’d probably blow people away with that!" Seika certainly enjoyed being the centre of attention, and being able to show nay sayers off would be cool, and her family would probably be quite proud. Win-win all round!
“That sounds a lot better than what we have here,” Jurina muttered. Being cocky would get you completely torn up by your classmates - having a high skill level made it ‘being confident’. Not quite meeting those expectations meant you were 'cocky’. It really was a two-faced monster.
“Of course, Oogoe Diamond’s my signature song!” Jurina said, winking. The song had been widely known as the first AKB single that the original Jurina was the centre of, and as her successor Miyuki had tried her best to duplicate the amazingness of it. “You’d have to perform something solo too if I do though!”
