I was plotting against Hoshino Ai but was pushed back

"What do you think of their performance?" Saito Hiko asked quietly in Hoshino Ai's ear, "Don't reply too loudly, or you'll be beaten to death by the fans."

He felt that Hoshino Ai's comments might provoke a stress reaction among fans, so he made arrangements in advance: "It's best to whisper in my ear."

After listening to the song, Hoshino Ai followed Saito Hiko's instructions, put her mouth close to his ear, and whispered, "The song they sang didn't feel very good. They just stood on the stage and sang without any dance moves, which was not good either. Also, the lyrics were clearly ambiguous, but the lighting was not soft, and it didn't convey that atmosphere at all."

She compared the movements on stage with those drawn by Saitohiko.

"They just covered this song. Originally, the song was just sung while standing on the stage and using a microphone. So it doesn't have the frequent position changes and coordination of dance steps like the dance I choreographed for you," Saito Hiko explained to Hoshino Ai.

When Hoshino Ai heard Saitohiko's statement, she suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Have you seen other idols sing this song before?"

Saito Hiko looked at Hoshino Ai in confusion, feeling that she seemed to have some misunderstanding, and explained: "The president played the video for me before, and I only watched it that time."

"You just asked me what I think, so what do you think of the three idols who are performing now?" Hoshino Ai put her hands behind her back, held her right hand with her left hand and looked at Saito Hiko.

Saito Hiko tried to avoid being heard by the audience, so he leaned close to Hoshino Ai's ear and whispered, "I think their performance was terrible. The only highlight was singing the song 'Please Don't Take Off My Sailor Uniform' while wearing sailor uniforms. If it wasn't for this, the performance would have been a disaster."

He relayed his views to Hoshino Ai truthfully.

"Besides the fact that the costumes and the song match each other, you actually said this is a disaster?" Hoshino Ai tilted her head in confusion. Although she felt uncomfortable with the lyrics, she still said, "Is it really that bad? I think it's okay."

"That's because you've only been in the industry for a short time and don't know much about dance." Saito Hiko sighed. With his current vision and memory, he felt that the performances of the three idols on the stage were very bad.

Even copying the actions of the Kitten Club failed to fully achieve it.

He really couldn't understand it. He had clearly learned the songs and was aiming to be an idol, but when he copied and covered the songs, he didn't even study the original version thoroughly.

"You just talk like this without pointing out the problem, just like you are bragging and gossiping." Hoshino Ai felt a little unhappy when she heard Saito Hiko say that the performance on stage was bad but failed to point out where the problem was.

"Because there are so many questions, I'm too lazy to complain. Since you want to know, I'll tell you."

Saitohiko thought for a moment and said, "First, let's talk about the singing skills. You just heard it. They can't express the emotions in the lyrics at all when singing this song. It's like dubbing the lines, but it feels good to read them."

Hoshino Ai nodded in agreement when she heard this. She also felt that the singing on the stage was not good just now, but she couldn't figure out the reason. After hearing what Saito Hiko said, she felt like a bolt of enlightenment.

Saitohiko stopped elaborating on the flaws in her singing skills when he saw Hoshino Ai nod, and continued, "Then there's their performance moves. I've seen the Kitten Club's performance video before, and their moves have been around for so many years. It's ok that the three people on the stage didn't change or update their moves, but even their imitation of the Kitten Club's moves wasn't perfect, and they made many mistakes. I really don't know how they rehearsed."

"Is there something wrong with the movements?" Hoshino Ai recalled and didn't see any obvious wrong movements.

"There are too many questions... You haven't seen the original video so you don't know how many mistakes they made. When I get back, I'll find the album of the song by Kitten Club and show it to you. Then you'll know where their mistakes were." Saitohiko looked at Hoshino Ai and said, "Since it's hard for me to explain this question right now, I'll skip it and talk about the next one."

"Okay." Hoshino Ai nodded again, but she was confused right after she finished speaking. Hadn't she already explained the singing and dancing of idols? Why were there still questions?

Since he is about to continue speaking, just hold back and listen to what he has to say.

"In addition to singing and dancing, there is another very important issue, that is the stage lighting. The tone of this song should be softer, but the lighting technicians here only create visual effects according to the beat of the music, but ignore the matching effect of the lyrics and costumes. Therefore, this problem is also very obvious." Saito Hiko raised the last issue.

"Ah, this..." Hoshino Ai thought about it and didn't feel that there was any problem with the lighting. The viewing experience was okay.

If what he said was true, the show was indeed a disaster.

"But judging from their movements, they definitely haven't practiced much, and this is just a hobby. It should be acceptable for them to do this." Seeing that Hoshino Ai was stunned by what he said, Saito Hiko added.

While the two were chatting, the performance on the stage stopped.

Their leader stood in front with a microphone and said, "Please listen to the second song, 'Teacher Teacher.'"

Saito Hiko recognized that the Leader on the stage was the girl dressed as a cat girl in the cardboard box yesterday.

A leader with a heavy responsibility?

However, compared with the other two, her movements are much more standard, and the individual parts of the song sound just OK.

As an amateur idol, it's pretty good.

I guess the clothes and songs for this performance were probably her idea, right?

When Saito Hiko saw that the second song was indeed a classic, he couldn't help but think of it.

The song accompaniment sounded again.

Saito Hiko's attention was all on Hoshino Ai and he didn't notice someone else walking in from outside.

It seems that the leader on the stage dressed like that has a good effect in attracting passers-by to buy tickets.

As the venue was not large, with the influx of newcomers, Saito Hiko once again felt that it was too small.

At the same time, he also overturned the conclusion that the group in front of him was low in popularity.

It’s not that they have few fans, but because their performance time is not friendly to office workers.

Nine to Five...

He came here right after get off work, which shows that the people who came later are all die-hard fans.

Saito Hiko saw that Hoshino Ai did not look back distractedly this time. She was concentrating on watching the performance on the stage.

I don't know what she is thinking.

Saito Hiko watched with her.

Time passed quickly, and the three people on the stage sang three unknown songs and ended today's performance.

"Hello everyone, I'm Rika, the leader of the trio. I'm very happy that everyone here has taken the trouble to come here to support us..." said the idol named Rika while holding the microphone as the host.

Next she took a step back to make room for other members.

The girl on her right stepped forward and said, "I'm Taozi, a member of the trio..."

After Taozi finished her introduction, she thanked everyone for their support and stepped back to make room for them.

"I am Muzi, a member of the trio..." Muzi also stepped back after introducing himself.

All three of them have long hair.

The three of them retreated into a straight line, then bowed to the front of the stage and said, "Thank you very much for your support. If you need anything, please come with us to the next room."

After they finished speaking, they left from the backstage.

The other men present also left as they left.

"What is a commodity dealer?" Hoshino Ai didn't understand the new word, so she turned to ask Saito Hiko.

“Merchandising is a way of interacting with idols and doing business with them. This includes taking photos and signing autographs, handshakes, and strange items…”

Saito Yan briefly explained, and then said: "Since it happens to be a coincidence, I will take you to the scene to see for yourself."

He took Hoshino Ai and followed the men who had just left like die-hard fans, following behind them.

The two of them soon followed them into a private room.

There were photo albums of Rika, Momoko, and Muzi, as well as small peripheral props.

There was also a large sign in the room with a price list for various things, which read:

Chapter 81 Good...Hen...tai

There was a large sign that read:
