1983 : Song That Describes

(May 24th, 1983)

~Ryuichi's P.O.V~
Our Naughty Boys album is released today. The music video was sent months before to Haruomi-san and we agreed to hold it until the album's release date. Many television networks broadcasted the video and looking at the ratings, the public likes it. Not just the public, even the three of us are satisfied with the final cut. "We did great in there!". "I like how the color fits." Yukihiro and I were exchanging opinions. "And what do you think, (y/n)-chan?" Haruomi-san asked (y/n)-chan for her opinion.

"I've been sitting on this since the first day of the shoot so..." she took a breath, "I have to apologize in advance but you three—On the first part only! Looked depressed.". "WHAT?!" our unison surprise filled the room. "Let me explain." She tried to calm us down. "It's only a joke and I know you three didn't mean to look like that.". "Then it must've been the camera angle." Yukihiro and I agreed with Haruomi-san's opinion. "What makes you say about your opinion, (y/n)-chan?"

"First, not only you three looked depressed but also looked like you wanted the shoot to be over as soon as possible and second... Hosono-san, you looked dead inside and sensei looked so done with the whole thing while Takahashi-san looked like you had the time of your life although the camera angle made you looked tired." She gave her full explanation. We replayed the video and she was right. We laughed and teased each other.

(Some time after the release)

Today we were scheduled for an interview and perform our 君い胸キュン (Kimi ni Mune Kyun) track live. Speaking of interviews, it's still going to be about the movie and it means I'll see David again. Even though there will be Takeshi-san and Oshima-san joining the interview as well as Yukihiro and Haruomi-san... Don't think too much of it! You're fine. Everything will be fine.

The interview went well and Oshima-san did join us in the middle of the interview. We talked about the myself, the band, the movie and about David himself then we performed the main track of our new album. David was patient in the entire interview with the interpreter translating every word exchanged. We bid farewell to Takeshi-san and Oshima-san and I went back to the dressing room to check on (y/n)-chan while Yukihiro and Haruomi-san minding their own errands.

I opened the door but she wasn't there. I was starting to get worried. She never goes far at least not under my knowledge. I closed back the door and went looking for her. "Where is she?"

~Your P.O.V~
I watched the interview in the dressing room and I was left alone. I passed the time by playing with my phone while listening to the interview. It was pretty boring although I can use my phone without anyone noticing. To know that WiFi wasn't around in the 80's yet and no one to talk to. Then I heard the door opened and I quickly hid my phone in my bag. "Hello? Is anybody here?" turns out it was just Mr. Bowie.

"Oh! Miss (y/n). Were you here the entire time?" I nodded at his question. "Do you know where Ryuichi-san is?" I asked and he said that sensei is with the others. "How about we wait for him outside?" Mr. Bowie suggested and I told him that I was supposed to wait here. "Cooped up and all alone? Are you sure that you're fine with it?" he threw a tricky question. "Come on! And don't worry... I'll keep an eye on you" he pulled me up and we exited the room then waited near the studio.

We waited for a while and we talked a bit. Mostly about casual stuff and it was nice to have someone to talk to. Then I saw someone coming from the corner of my eye and it was sensei. "Sen--!" I was going to greet him but he passed me, storming towards Mr. Bowie. "Draw back." His tone was threatening. "Woah. Don't go Captain Yonoi on me there." But Mr. Bowie took it as a joke which made sensei much angrier. "I-I think you should leave, Mr. Bowie before it gets ugly." I calmly tried to make him leave and he did.
