"A Rose in the Night is a Rose worth Keeping, lunar blessing everlasting" - ???

(Y/N) looked down at the stage and was in awe at the energy in the room, the fans were on their feet and cheers and excitement filled the air as Roselia took centre stage and began their song Legendary.

(Y/N) couldn't help but vibe to the song and it's epic lyrics, he smiled as he watched a mystic light show back up the bands performance and all of this to him embodies the very concept of Gothic Rock.

His eyes then rested on the band leader Yukina Minato, and he can tell that she's immensely talented and her singing voice only brings out more colour in each of the lyrics. She was also very easy on the eyes as well, her mysterious aura and elegant looks only makes her that much more alluring, and he thinks that the males in the audience couldn't agree more. He then looked towards the rest of the band, he noticed the pianist in the back. She had a rather conserved and shy expression but she was clearly talented at her craft, she hit every not in perfection synchronization with the beat. The same can be said for the cute drummer girl, she had a rather childish demeanour to her but her pitch perfect drumming further reinforced the crescendo of the songs chorus. He then looked the guitar player who had a rather aloof attitude on her, she clearly takes her role seriously but he feels that most bands are eccentric in their own regard so having an objective driven person can be a good balance for group dynamics. But when he saw the bassist, hoo boy! She was so pretty, her flashy looks and smokin' bod! And her wink? It made him melt. He shook some rather indecent thoughts from his mind and continued to enjoy the performance, they played Louder and Black Shout.

Soon after the song was over they bowed out walked down from the stage and signed autographs and take pictures, it wasn't uncommon for Live House bands to preform 3 song performances because it keeps ticket prices and rental prices down and with the extra allocation, bands can put on a more flashy performances instead. He chuckled and nodded as he walked back into the store and looked at Marina

Marina: Incredible isn't it?

(Y/N): Yeah, Roselia is surely something!

Marina: Yep! There one of our more popular bands and Yukina and Sayo run a pretty tight ship so I'm not surprised they played flawlessly

(Y/N): Yukina's vocals are just... wow!

Yukina: I'm glad you enjoyed it...

Marina: Speak of the devil... fufufufu

Yukina had come to thank Marina for letting them preform at CiRCLE again, but when she overheard (Y/N) enjoy the performance she couldn't help but feel a little funny inside. She put on her stoic face but smiled as she bowed in gratitude and exited CiRCLE with her band in tow. (Y/N) watched them leave until Marina threw a broom at (Y/N) and smiled

Marina: Live Performances can get rather messy, I'd get cracking if I was you (Y/N)!

(Y/N) grumbled and took the broom and swept the stage area too the point where you can't even spot a speck of dust, he also put away any equipment not needed in band practices and any extra items that are meant to be stored after a Live Performances. After about 1 hour (Y/N) was done cleaning up the stage and walked back up to the main area to inform Marina that he was clocking out, as he clocked out Marina approached him and handed him a envelope. (Y/N) opened it and inside was around ¥50000

(Y/N): Woah? Getting paid already?

Marina: No, that's your cut from the Live Performance profit. Each LP we host we are allowed to take a small commission from the ticket sales, for now you'll receive ¥50000 while I'll receive ¥120000.

(Y/N): Woah? How come you get so much?

Marina: Uhhh cause I'm the General Manager? Plus I gotta pay bills! Now go on, the last train will leave in the next 3 hours! Nighty Night (Y/N)!

(Y/N): Ermm... okay, see you tomorrow Marina

(Y/N) grabbed his coat and book bag and waved as he left out the front door, he walked down the street and stopped by a nearby McRonald's to have a late dinner. He ordered a Teriyaki Chicken sandwich with a small fries and a drink... and an apple pie for dessert, sure it wasn't the healthiest but (Y/N) didn't feel like cooking this late which is around 9:30pm. After his meal what would surely disappoint his mother he walked towards the nearest train station, he boarded one of the last trains westbound. (Y/N) had an affinity for night cityscapes, he preferred to take JR lines during the evening or early morning so he can see the lights and nocturnal life of Tokyo. He smiled as the beautiful city glowed outside his train window, Tokyo was one of the most beautiful urban jungles in the world and (Y/N) was glad his parents let him live here instead of following them across the world.

After a 40 minute train ride, (Y/N) arrived at Ueno Station and he exited out to Ameyoko and walked home but not without stopping at crepe shop and bought a Nutella crepe for him to enjoy at home. After a 15 minute walk, (Y/N) arrived home and he quickly changed into more comfortable clothing. He ate his crepe while watching videos on YouTube about the CiRCLE bands, he thought of it as some from of research. After about 3 hours, (Y/N) passed out on his couch which wasn't abnormal. He needed his rest, it was only going to get harder.
