I really just want to grind for entries related to crossover anime/manga.

"Thank you for your kindness. I will visit you when I have time."

"Ah."

After they had finished talking, Genkawa Yu stood up slightly and bowed slightly to Tamori and Fujiwara Masashi.

"Tamori-san, Fujiwara-san, I'm sorry to have bothered you today. We still have rehearsals to come, so we'll take our leave now."

Akane Kurokawa immediately stood up and bowed respectfully along with Yu Minakawa.

"Tamori-san, Fujiwara-san, farewell."

Tamori nodded slightly, a gentle smile on his face.

"Okay, go ahead and rehearse well. I look forward to your performance later."

Genkawa Yu nodded slightly, then took Kurokawa Akane's hand, pushed open the door, and walked out together.

The lounge fell silent again, leaving only Tamori and Fujiwara no Kojima.

Tamori picked up the tea from the coffee table, took a sip, and then looked at Fujiwara Masashi.

"Xiao Zheng, why do you value that young man named Yuan Chuan You so much?"

In his view, there are countless talented young people in the entertainment industry. Tamori himself has seen many outstanding young people, but he has never seen Fujiwara care so much about any young person.

Fujiwara smiled and sat down on the sofa next to Tamori.

“I have a feeling that Genkawa-kun might change the landscape of the entertainment industry.”

"What's the reason?"

Tamori was wearing black sunglasses, obscuring his eyes, but he clearly didn't believe it.

"Hehe, my father once taught me a line of poetry from the Xia Kingdom."

Fujiwara smiled.

"What is it? X Qi Liu Jiu Yin San Xia Liao?"

Tamori laughed too. He was about the same age as Fujiwara Masashi's father and they were acquaintances before.

"A golden carp is no ordinary fish; it will transform into a dragon once it encounters wind and clouds."

On the other side, Yuu Minakawa held Akane Kurokawa's hand as they walked down the corridor leading to the music rehearsal venue.

The two were very close, their arms pressed tightly together. Yuan Chuanyou's hand held hers tightly the whole time, the warmth of his fingertips enveloping her palm and giving her a strong sense of security.

There were more people in the corridor than before, mostly artists and their staff who came to participate in the music show recording. When they saw Yu Minakawa and Akane Kurokawa walking side by side, everyone's eyes were subconsciously focused on them, and there were more whispers than before.

"Isn't this just a publicity stunt? They were actually holding hands and walking together inside the TV station!"

"After all, the movie is still showing in theaters, so this is also a form of business operation, right?"

"It doesn't seem like it. Have you ever seen male and female actors being this intimate in a commercial setting?"

"Never seen it before."

"Hehe, they are a perfect match, it would be great if it were true."

"Indeed, they're a celebrity couple."

Although some people harbored some resentment, there was no malice intended. On one hand, Yu Genkawa is currently very popular, and in addition to being an entertainer, he is also the president of a company.

There might be opportunities to collaborate and make money in the future, so neither the artists nor the staff would say anything rude.

Various comments reached his ears, some surprised, some envious, some offering blessings. Kurokawa Akane listened to these comments and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Yu-kun, they seem to be talking about us."

"Let them be, no one will dare to tell anyone anyway."

There are some unwritten rules in the entertainment industry: even if you see something about an artist's private life, you can only share it among the artist's friends. If you tell outsiders, fans, or reporters, it's like flipping the table and you'll be blacklisted by the entire industry.

No one would turn down money, and no one is that stupid.

Back on set, about ten minutes later, the first rehearsal began.

The rehearsal was simply going through the program recording process, and Genkawa Yu performed very well, with almost no mistakes.

After an hour, Yuu Minakawa and Akane Kurokawa left the stage and stayed in the rest area.

As soon as she sat down, Akane Kurokawa turned around with a bright smile on her face. She looked at Yu Minakawa and spoke softly but excitedly.

"Yu-kun, I'm so happy."

Looking at her bright smile, Yuan Chuanyou reached out and gently ruffled her hair, his tone carrying a hint of teasing, knowing full well what was going on.

"Oh? Why are you so happy?"

Upon hearing his words, Akane Kurokawa showed a hint of coquettishness on her face and gently punched his arm with her small hand.

"Because... I'm Yu-kun's girlfriend."

Her voice was soft, yet filled with happiness.

Today, in Tamori's lounge, in front of Tamori and Fujiwara Masashi, Genkawa Yu openly held her hand and asked her to stay by his side.

In the corridor, at the rehearsal site, and in front of so many artists and staff, he made no attempt to hide his closeness to her.

Although this isn't an official announcement, for Akane Kurokawa, it's practically the same as one.

The celebrities who came to participate in the recording of the program today most likely already knew about these things. Even if Genkawa Yu didn't confirm it, everyone naturally knew what was going on.

All of this made her feel incredibly happy and content.

Even knowing that she couldn't have him all to herself, at this moment, Akane Kurokawa chose to forget all of that.

Volume 3: I Am a Knight of the New Era, Chapter 57: Mai Sakurajima: I'm Not Afraid of Akane Kurokawa! (2-in-1 5k)

When the bell rang for the official recording of the program, the staff immediately got busy.

Genkawa Yu held Kurokawa Akane's hand and, as arranged during the rehearsal, walked towards the audience seats on one side of the stage.

Those seats were specially prepared for artists. They were in prominent positions and would be scanned by cameras from time to time. They were not only places to watch other artists perform, but also a way to indirectly expose themselves to the camera and gain exposure.

The two sat down side by side. The seats were not far apart to begin with, but Genkawa Yu consciously moved closer to Kurokawa Akane, so that their shoulders were pressed tightly together.

Real couples' methods for creating a fake CP (couple pairing) are simple and straightforward.

"Don't be too reserved, just treat it like a rehearsal."

Genkawa Yu turned his head, leaned close to the girl's ear, and whispered something that only the two of them could hear.

Akane Kurokawa nodded slightly, gave a soft "hmm," and leaned closer to him, tilting her head slightly in his direction. Her tension gradually dissipated, replaced by a deep sense of security.

The recording of the show has begun, and the first singer has already taken the stage.

The recording of the music show is not too fancy. Basically, it's various singers and groups going up to perform the songs they want to promote, and then Tamori-san gives some comments.

Genkawa Yu's expression remained gentle throughout, while Kurokawa Akane would occasionally glance at his face.

The camera slowly panned across the audience, precisely capturing the image of the two sitting side by side.

The young man stood tall and straight, a faint smile playing on his lips, his gaze calmly fixed on the stage, while the girl, with gentle eyes, leaned slightly against his shoulder, her lips curving upwards.

Even without saying much, the atmosphere between the two was enough to beat any idol drama. After all, the male and female leads in ordinary idol dramas are not as good-looking as them, not to mention their sweet atmosphere, which is different from artificial sweeteners.

After listening for about twenty minutes, according to the rehearsal schedule, the next singer was Yuu Genkawa.

A staff member made a subtle hand gesture from below the stage, indicating that the next singer should prepare to take the stage.

"Next, let's give a warm round of applause to welcome Yu Genkawa, who will be performing the song 'Horizon' for us!"

Enthusiastic applause rang out again, and the spotlight focused on Genkawa Yu. Kurokawa Akane said "Go for it!" to him, her beautiful eyes following Genkawa Yu's tall and upright figure.

Singers don't need to introduce themselves when they go on stage, because the interviews and the host have already given the introductions, so all they need to do is sing.

"Whoo~"

Genkawa Yu stood on the stage, holding his guitar, and began preparing to sing this song.

[Debuting Singer (Purple)], going all out!

"The fragments scattered by the wind, someone whispers about their beauty, singing softly in a sorrowful voice."

"Unbeknownst to them, it drifted into the sea and emitted light."

"I believe you can see that scene too."

Genkawa Yu's singing skills were perfect. Tamori sat in the middle of the guest seats below the stage, wearing black sunglasses, with a gentle smile on her face.

With a hint of appreciation in his eyes, he nodded slightly, clearly very satisfied with the performance of Genkawa Yu and Kurokawa Akane.

Four minutes later, the music ended, the melody gradually faded, and the studio was quiet for a few seconds before thunderous applause erupted.

The host walked onto the stage with a warm smile and began to speak.

"It sounds so good! Genkawa-kun, you sang it so well."

Thank you everyone.

Even when faced with a close-up shot of his face, Genkawa Yu still smiled and said...

The host smiled and nodded, then expressed his anticipation for more excellent works from him in the future.

Then, the host looked at Tamori in the audience and began the proceedings.

"Tamori-san, you've also seen Genkawa-kun and Kurokawa-san's movies. What's your opinion on their performances?"

Tamori slightly raised his eyes, picked up the microphone, and spoke in a gentle yet magnetic voice, carrying the weight of years.

"Genkawa-kun and Kurokawa-san are both very talented young people. The movie was great, and I hope you both continue to do well."

"Thank you for the compliment, Tamorisan."

Yu Minakawa and Akane Kurokawa spoke in unison, bowing slightly to Tamori with sincere expressions.

In the following time, the two chatted with the host, Tamorisan, about the movie "Love Like a Bouquet," including some interesting anecdotes from the filming process.

Soon, the promotional segment ended, and Genkawa Yu stepped down from the stage, returning to Kurokawa Akane's side.

For the rest of the activities, Genkawa Yu wasn't very interested. He just sat quietly, occasionally exchanging a few words with Kurokawa Akane.

Time passed slowly, and around 7 p.m., the recording of the entire music show came to an end.

The lights in the studio gradually dimmed, the staff began to busily pack up the equipment, and the artists also got up one after another, preparing to leave.
