Chapter 306
**[Celestial Realm Group Broadcast LOL]**
(Link)
I thought they’d just talk and wouldn’t actually do the broadcast, but here we are.
– Are we really having a Celestial Realm group broadcast?? Is everyone here?
No, no, no, Miro, Loa, Harbin, and Rain are the four doing it.
– If Miro came, then everyone must be here, right? LOL
– For real, LOL
– 90% of the Celestial Realm gathered, LOL
**[But what’s the lineup?]**
For real, it’s totally random, LOL. I get Loa, but why are Harbin and Rain here?
– They’re from Miro’s composition team.
– ?? They compose too?
– Didn’t you know?
– If you’re gonna talk, you should at least watch Miro’s broadcast first.
– For real… if you’re not gonna watch, then just get out of the gallery.
– The world is upside down, damn it;;
**[Rain really hit the jackpot]**
The other third-generation members can’t even hear Miro’s voice properly, yet they’re doing song projects together.
People really need to have skills, right?
– Miro hasn’t done a broadcast with the other third-generation members?
– Nope.
– Really? That’s surprising.
– From the third generation on, second-generation members need to take care of things.
– If you’re jealous, then compose something, LOL.
– For real… the tracks they made were good, though.
**[Looking at it this way, the second generation is really blessed, right?]**
Debuting at the peak, they’ve got all the perks from the first generation’s spillover, making them the best generation ever, LOL.
– Isn’t the first generation still doing well?
– No, no, no, the second generation did better right after the end-of-year live.
– After the second generation debuted, Miro also hit a milestone, so their peak was then.
– That’s why the second generation does a lot of broadcasts with the third generation, LOL.
– But it’s still not at the level of the first generation’s perks.
– Wow, so does the fourth generation rely on the third generation? LOL, they’re doomed.
– The worst generation, LOL.
– The third generation doesn’t know either, but their growth is happening.
**[Is it normal for Rain’s broadcast donations to blow up like this?]**
This is totally insane, LOL. How much is all this?
– Usually, it doesn’t go that way, but during events, it can blow up like this, LOL.
– I think it’s because Miro swiped earlier?
– Ah LOL.
– The viewers got swiped, huh?
– They really have a lot of money.
– She’s the number one earner from the Celestial Realm livestreams, LOL.
– Really? More than Miro?
– Miro doesn’t have many donations coming in.
– Yeah, just a hundred bucks instead of a thousand, right?
**[Rain is really cute]**
What kind of broadcasts does she usually do?
– Politics, economy, current affairs.
– ?
– For real, LOL. Sometimes she turns on the broadcast and reads news articles.
– ?? For real?
– It used to be a mess, but now she just enjoys it, LOL.
– Surprisingly informative, yeah LOL.
**[For those who want to see Rain, take note]**
(Rain replays)
Regularly doing simultaneous viewing of news, LOL.
– For real, she does that regularly?
– Yeah, LOL. She covers international issues.
– Damn, LOL.
– She’s also something else.
– There are a lot of current issues, so it’s pretty entertaining, LOL.
**[Miro: I don’t contact Lee Kang-jun]**
Phew, LOL.
If you’re relieved, then that’s a downvote, LOL.
– Downvote, LOL.
– This guy says it’s a downvote now.
– Miro really is certain, huh?
– For real… she’s declaring she doesn’t contact him.
– No wonder the monarch of the Celestial Realm is who she is, LOL.
– Big Miro.
**[So, is Izakaya Sake close to Miro?]**
From what they mention in broadcasts, it doesn’t seem like it’s purely business.
– Mentioning it is still business, LOL.
– Ah, is that so?
– The occasional Japanese VTuber seems like Izakaya Sake might have some connection.
– Yeah, yeah, she probably acted as the bridge.
**[But they say Miro is in the red?]**
Did they chart but not get good revenue?
– Why is Miro in the red?
– She said on the broadcast that it’s in the red.
– Really? Wasn’t Miro’s song doing well? Is she in the red?
– It seems like she spent a lot.
– If you look at the songs released and YouTube growth, you’d have to see it as an investment.
– Yeah, that does seem right, LOL.
**[Miro made it for her song album]**
(Miro broadcast clip)
It seems like it’s coming out soon.
– Big Miro.
– A VTuber album, whoa.
– For real, Miro’s basically become a singer.
– Isn’t she already a singer?
– Does Singer Miro look like a joke? LOL.
– She’s seriously diligent.
**[Miro: Is there a body double?]**
She’s planning to release an album while being under an acting agency and filming, LOL.
– Meanwhile, she’s broadcasting on the side, LOL.
– She’s juggling three jobs, LOL.
– There’s gotta be a broadcaster who isn’t doing one thing right??
– ??? No way that’s true.
– Is that you again, first generation…?
– LOL, broadcasting feels like a 1-room apartment.
– For real, these guys just don’t broadcast well, LOL.
**[Is Miro filming?]**
– Yeah, yeah, seems like that’s the case.
– What’s she filming? Isn’t there anything coming out?
– Since there’s no info from the acting agency, it must be a secret.
– Is she getting any lead roles?
– Will she? Gotta wait until she’s an established name.
– For real, LOL, lead roles will be later on.
**Today, for the first time in a while, I came to The Six Headquarters.**
**The thing is, it’s about time to seriously have meetings regarding the concert, so the Manager called me for the meeting.**
“Other staff will arrive shortly.”
“Yep.”
The meeting room I went to with the Manager, who welcomed me in advance, was still empty.
I heard that other employees will come today… Usually, I’ve been handling things alone with the Manager, so I felt a bit nervous.
“Today the company was a bit chaotic, right? There were many people coming to rent facilities.”
“Oh, was it?”
“Yes, recently the number of studio users has increased.”
“That’s good to hear.”
Honestly, when they first expanded, I wondered what they would use that for, but it’s a relief to hear that users are increasing.
Well… No matter how many users there are, honestly, I feel like we’d be running a deficit anyway.
“Seems like a lot of VTubers are doing it nowadays?”
“Companies are starting to take interest. There are success stories.”
“Success stories?”
“Yeah, right in front of me.”
“Aha.”
Well, once the Celestial Realm passes its two-year mark, it must prove it’s not just a fleeting bubble.
Above all, if they’re able to launch stable-performing groups like the second generation and third generation, it’s natural for companies to be interested.
“By the way, how did the people from last time do?”
“Last time? Ah, from that boy group?”
“Yes, those guys.”
I hadn’t thought about them since then, but I suddenly got curious if they were doing well, and the Manager, who seemed to contemplate for a moment, nodded.
“Um, I think they did pretty well.”
“Really?”
“Well, it’s still early stages, so it’s a bit vague, but we’re keeping an eye on them.”
If The Six is monitoring them, then they must be doing fairly well.
Well, honestly, since they’re boy VTubers, they’d likely cater to a female audience, so it doesn’t really relate to the Celestial Realm.
The market size is completely different anyway.
“Oh, right. Besides the shoots that we’re doing now, do you have any schedules afterward?”
“Schedules?”
“Yes, since it’ll be something to refer to when planning the concert.”
“Um… I don’t have any.”
The shoot will probably wrap up before the concert, and when thinking of schedules afterward, there’s honestly not too much.
But…
“Uh… none at all?”
Upon hearing that there are no schedules, the Manager’s expression got a bit complicated.
“Ah, yes…”
“…Are you not working on anything except for the filming?”
“Um… not yet?”
“….”
The Manager looked like he had nothing to say, and I felt a little guilty.
As for agency work… Honestly, I should start getting into it slowly.
They rent me a good car and pay for maintenance and the driver, Park Kang-seok, who also doubles as my manager.
It’s only natural to return that value, so I should make it a point to settle some work soon.
After that, we continued chatting casually when suddenly a loud noise came from outside the door.
“Oh, they might have arrived.”
“Are the staff here?”
“Yes, come in!”
Then the door opened, and The Six staff poured in.
However, their number was surprisingly high, and I was a bit taken aback.
I thought there would be at most five people, but it looked like there were about ten.
“Are all these people part of the meeting?”
“Of course. There’s so much to prepare for a concert.”
That’s true, but…
Honestly, I hadn’t really felt it before, but seeing the staff come in, it dawned on me just how significant a solo concert is.
“Alright, then let’s begin the meeting in earnest.”
Just like that, with the surprised faces of staff seeing me for the first time, the serious meeting kicked off.
The content of the meeting, led by the Manager, wasn’t much different than what I expected.
First, we discussed a space to hold the solo concert.
“The venue is already being tentatively prepared.”
“Oh, the one from last time?”
“Yes, it’s a place near the headquarters, and it doesn’t look bad. Here it is…”
Next, we roughly set the timing.
“When would be a good time?”
“While we’re preparing, we need to coordinate it in detail, but… Miro, when do you think would be suitable?”
“Oh, me?”
“Yes, you have experience preparing for group concerts. How long do you think you’ll need to practice if doing it solo?”
Practicing…
Thinking about practice, bringing in guests, and recording everything…
“Earliest, the beginning of next year?”
“Next year?”
“Yep… This year seems a bit tough.”
It looks like it won’t be possible this year.
Even if we prepared right away, I’m already far along in filming, so…
“Well, let’s think about next year for now… Regarding the concert format…”
After getting a rough idea of the space and time, the meeting itself proceeded smoothly.
Moreover, since there were so many staff involved, my job mainly consisted of sitting quietly as a background figure, answering only when asked.
These folks are the experts here, so I just have to go along with it.
Still, as time passed and concrete plans started to emerge, I couldn’t help but gradually feel a smile creeping across my face.
“Miro, you happy?”
The Manager even caught on to that and asked.
“Of course I’m happy.”
“Well… you’re enjoying it right now, but I think you’ll be going through a lot when it’s time to prepare.”
“….”
Anyway, thanks to that meeting, a rough outline for the concert was mapped out.
