Scandal of the Spotlight: Kyohei Rikudoh (Discontinued)

(Season 2) Chapter 5

Ritsuto: "Why they gotta put you right next to me?"

We finally make it to the concert venue and get to our seats.

Kagari: "Come on, stop being so mean."

Kagari: "I'm glad we made it in time. But..."

(The audience still feels kind of empty.)

(How much longer is it before the show starts?)

Ritsuto: "What's up?"

Kagari: "N-Nothing..."

Kagari: "The vibe of this venue is so different from in Japan."

Ritsuto: "That's because the Japanese are so serious."

Kagari: "You mean people are reserved?"

Ritsuto: "More like they think listening to the songs is most important.."

Ritsuto: "People here come to concerts to have fun. For better or worse, they're real honest."

(I guess that's a cultural difference...)

Kagari: "Well, I hope this audience will like the band."

Ritsuto: "They had better show me something. I'm using up my valuable time to be here."

Kagari: "Oh, they will! Don't you worry about that!"

Ritsuto: "You sure sound confident."

Kagari: "I know you worked hard to make a name for yourself in America, Ritsuto."

Kagari: "Kyohei and the rest have been working tirelessly toward that, too."

Ritsuto: "Well, let's see what they got."

(Kyohei, guys, good luck!)

______________________________________________________________

I can't help feeling nervous as the show begins, though.

Kyohei begins to sing.

(Their singing is as great as ever.)

(They're dancing is fresh and perfectly in sync.)

But I can't help noticing the unenthusiastic mood of the crowd.

Kagari: "They're not talking between songs as much as normal."

Kagari: "Is it because they're worried about using English?"

(They're just not showing off their usual, overwhelming presence.)

Woman 1st: "Revance doesn't seem all that great."

Woman 2nd: "They were more flashy and fun on the DVD I saw of a concert in Japan."

Woman 2nd: "I was excited to see that in person, but this is a big disappointment."

Just as the uncomfortable tension reaches it's peak... there is a sudden *thunk* and they stop singing for an instant.

Kagari: "W-What!?"

(Something fell on the stage...)

Ritsuto: "Is that... a plastic bottle?"

Kagari: "Did that guy in the audience really throw that at them!?"

Ritsuto: "You always get guys like them in the crowd. Just be glad that wasn't glass."

Kagari: "What? Really?"

A guy on the right side of the audience starts booing in a deep voice. Kyohei stares at the bottle and then at the audience.
