[Competition, Miro has entered the chat lol]

(Post link)

Joined to step on the juniors

-What track are you participating with?

ㄴ Calm Lake

ㄴ Didn’t go with the turning point, huh

ㄴ Would they even do that? lol

ㄴ But it is her song, after all

[Miro participating with her original track is just legendary lol]

Even charted, what the heck lol

-Just a goat lol

-The featuring part she did alone was solid too

ㄴ Yeah, seems like she practiced

[But seriously, Miro’s singing skills have skyrocketed]

She wasn’t this good before lol

-At first, she was just treated as a regular with a nice voice

-If you think about it, she’s been the most diligent lol

ㄴ For real lol

-While other members were broadcasting, she was busy making tracks and gaining experience

ㄴ Was Miro really just coasting on broadcasts? My heart is swelling

ㄴ She still coasts sometimes lol

[So why did the second-gen suddenly join?]

Miro got angry and joined lol

-Just for fun, I guess?

-They all did well

ㄴ For real, second-gen can sing well

-Would Miro get mad? I’ve never seen her angry lol

ㄴ For real?

ㄴ That is true lol

-But can the second-gen beat Miro?

ㄴ How can they win when the original artist brings her own song?

ㄴ For real lol

[But kinda disappointing]

If she had done “Turning Point,” winning would be guaranteed lol

Calm Lake has a lacking featuring part

-Besides, she’s going beyond being a regular, right?

ㄴ Not a regular, that’s for sure lol

ㄴ Miro isn’t a regular anymore lol

-But related to “Turning Point,” the red pill gives off a vibe that Miro might not secure a solid win

ㄴ (pulls out sheet music)

ㄴ Not oppressive, but still feels like there are lines to uphold?

ㄴ What’s the point of upholding lines? Just let it all out

ㄴ For real lol

ㄴ Honestly, it feels a bit pointless now

[In the meantime, the most obsessed kid these days…]

It’s definitely Anna <-

She's been hanging out with the juniors and hasn’t done any singing broadcasts lately lol

-For real...

-She just loves the juniors lol

-When the third-gen comes out, she’ll probably love them even more

ㄴ Is that even happening?

ㄴ Huh?

ㄴ It feels like second-gen isn’t the end

-But these days, it’s quite entertaining lol

ㄴ For real, broadcasts are fun

-Back then, she acted all tough as the leader, but now that’s gone, so she’s cute lol

ㄴ For real...

ㄴ That was a big change

ㄴ She didn’t always act like that, right?

ㄴ lol

[Singing competition, Loa joins lol]

(Post link)

Sneaked in and dropped a post

-For real?

ㄴ Yup lol, her ID is Loa

ㄴ It really is lol

-Loa can sing well too

ㄴ For real...

ㄴ Anna, Maho, and Loa, that trio sings well together

ㄴ Where’s Miro?

ㄴ Miro wasn’t in the singing line

ㄴ No way, seriously;

ㄴ Ugh, new fans are annoying lol

ㄴ For real, you don’t know this?

[Why are all these old-timers suddenly here?]

I’m one of those who came in through "Turning Point"

Saying Miro couldn’t sing before and whatnot

So, do the other members have any solo tracks now? lol

-True

-Ugh, new fans are a hassle;;

-Came in through "Turning Point," huh? Did you even watch the broadcasts?

[Whoa, what’s this??]

(Post link)

Anna is participating lol

-For real?

ㄴ Yup lol

ㄴ Whoa, it’s true

-Did she finally show up? Whoa whoa whoa

-Our sleeping Anna has awakened

-I heard her, it’s incredible

ㄴ Hmm... is it really that good?

ㄴ She performed better this time, skipped the bad tracks

[Definitely Anna has different vocal power]

Ears are being blown away lol

-But isn’t she still below Miro?

ㄴ Anna sounds clearer though

ㄴ Look at those Anna stans trying to up her game

[Anna? But her career...]

Miro has two original tracks…

And both charted…

-One, though?

ㄴ For real... Miro stans are subtly stealing the achievements of singer Miru

ㄴ I’m Miru, and this is true

[What’s great about Anna...]

Just participating, she already has a different aura, yeah...

Feels like a senile person has found their memory...

-That senile person is annoying

-Anna has never lost her memory lol

-Has she arrived, our GOAT...

-But did she lose her edge? lol

ㄴ Yeah, Anna’s post is great too~

[Whoa, after being quiet]

Another Miro vs Anna cup has opened

-Hasn’t it been a while? lol

ㄴ For real

-Now Anna is at a lower tier, ugh

ㄴ Back then, Miro was the one lower, now it’s completely reversed

[Other first-gen contestants are posting too lol]

(Post link)

(Post link)

(Post link)

The final showdown, whoa whoa whoa

-For real?

ㄴ Check this out lol

-Festival mood lol

-As expected, the king is different. Sets up a competition and gathers all the members

ㄴ For real...

[At this very moment, a kid in trouble]

It’s Miro <

Now she’s got to determine the winner among all the fandoms lol

-??: Hmm... everyone sang well? But still, the mysterious vocalist was the best, right? You win~

ㄴ lol

ㄴ Did you catch the whole broadcast? lol

ㄴ Why spoil it?

ㄴ I can hear it, I can hear it

-But objectively, isn’t Miro the best?

ㄴ That’s true lol

ㄴ I personally like Anna more

ㄴ She sang a musical track dishonestly

ㄴ Miro sang her own track dishonestly too, though

[But truly, even in decline, a king is still a king...]

All first and second-gen participated, but the only rival to pick for Miro is Anna, huh...

-Second-gen feels too junior-like

ㄴ For real, they can sing well, but it’s hard to imagine them beating Miro

-Who knows who will win, but it’s still a festival mood lol

ㄴ When the results come out, it'll feel like a funeral lol

I unexpectedly ended up with all members from the Celestial Realm participating in the fan café competition.

Well, the second-gen joined as a surprise, but the first-gen seniors contacted me before participating.

They asked if it would be alright since it looked fun, and I thought it would be amusing, so I gave my permission...

But, I do feel a bit anxious about this.

When it comes times to draw lots, all sorts of fandoms will gather in my broadcast.

I have some thoughts prepared ahead of time... but I guess I’ll only know when the time comes.

Just the thought of all kinds of fandoms flooding into my chat is a bit dizzying.

Well, for now…

“Are you here?”

“Yes.”

I guess I should get to my task.

Today is the day for the much-anticipated featuring part recording.

After practicing for a while, it's about time to get it done.

If I record, is the track finished?

I had postponed it longer than expected, but now, I’m finally fitting the last piece of the puzzle.

Inside the recording studio in the composer’s workshop, the composer and Hyeon-su were already seated.

“By the way, how was the movie, sister?”

As I set my bag down in a corner, Hyeon-su asked that.

The movie, huh…

“It was fun.”

Honestly, I couldn’t focus too much because I was worried about my own scene, but it did seem like a well-made film.

The cast had decent names, and they seemed to have done their promotion well, so I suppose the results could be expected.

“Really? When do you come out?”

“You go and watch it. No spoilers.”

“Is it really a spoiler that you appeared?”

“....”

Not that it is, but I just don’t want to say.

You should feel nervous like I did, wondering when I would come out.

“I'll let you know when the movie comes out, so go watch it. Now let’s get to recording, okay?”

Well, we can talk about movies later, but right now it’s time to record.

I was a bit eager to show what I’ve practiced.

It’s time to flaunt the results of my practice to everyone.

“You seem confident.”

“I’m overflowing.”

Having received more than ample practice time, now I need to show the results.

So, stepping boldly into the recording room, I warmed up my voice.

This featuring part requires a bit of rhythm compared to the parts I usually do, but honestly, it’s not that fast for a rap.

Of course, careful control will be needed regarding the track's highs and lows, but... I think I've passed the phase of just struggling with that.

“Here we go.”

With that, I energetically started recording.

The result was….

“What do you think?”

“...It's astonishing.”

“...Indeed.”

I finished it in one take.

Since this hadn’t happened before during previous recordings, both the composer and Hyeon-su looked bewildered as they stared at me from beyond the recording studio glass.

“You said I improved, right?”

It might just be a few seconds of featuring part recording, but for someone like me, who always lived off feedback, saying this shows immense progress.

In the past, no matter how much practice time I got, I would have been battered by feedback for at least a few hours.

“It's perfect. It could be used in the track as is.”

“I’m a bit surprised too… You practiced a lot.”

“I do what I do.”

Saying this, I confidently exited the recording studio.

Huh? When I set my mind to something, I do well.

You could call me a genius at achieving my goals or something like that.

“Well, that’s the recording finished.”

“Right. Oh, by the way, I heard the choreography has also been completed.”

Previously, I sent the song with my guide vocal for the featuring part to the instructor.

And just yesterday, I received the news that it was completed.

Thinking about it, the new song's production is nearly finished.

It feels weird since it seems like just yesterday that we started.

“Well, then, it’s really done.”

Hyeon-su seemed to share my thoughts and leaned back comfortably on the sofa.

Well, still doesn’t feel like it’s time to relax yet.

“More importantly, when would be good?”

“Huh?”

Everyone seemed to focus, wondering what I meant by "when would be good."

These people… are clearly in the end mood.

There’s still stuff left to do.

“Dancing. We need to go learn.”

Since the choreography is finished, it’s time to go learn it.

“Oh.”

“Do I really have to do this too?”

The composer seemed hesitant, but…

Swish—swish.

As usual, I waved my hand and uttered the magical words.

“Majority vote.”

“...Oh dear.”

In the face of democracy for the greater good, even a minor personal opinion is easily dismissed.

And really, how great would it be to learn to dance?

It all helps later on.

Mmm.

Thus, a new schedule for learning choreography was set up.
