Rock Music Show

This was Kaz's idea.

“What?!” Charm Inu asked. Their manager smiled and nodded.

“Uh-huh,” he said. The band members stared at each other.

“Are we really going on NHK Music Bomb?” Hideki asked.

“Yes,” Kaz said. “But not just you.”

“Huh?” the band asked.

“What do you mean?” Isao asked. “Who else will be on the show?” The manager took a moment to think.

“Let's see… Lady Dragon, Salt, and Devil's Train,” he said. Frowns filled the room.

“Are you serious?!” Isao asked.

“The slot was open,” Kaz said. “I had to take it.” He pressed his hands together and bowed his head.

“Please! Please do this for me?” the manager asked. “I am begging you!” Kaz fell on his hands and knees.

“Please?” the manager asked. The band looked at each other. Unease written on their faces.

-Wednesday Morning-

NHK Music Bomb was a morning music show. Some of the hottest acts came for a shot at fame. Millions of house parents tuned in out of curiosity. A new episode air today at eleven.

In five… four… three… two… one!

“Good morning, Tokyo!” the host shouted into the mic. “Welcome to NHK Music Bomb! I'm you host, Ono Sky!” The studio audience cheered. Sky moved his hand up and down. The audience calmed down.

“Ready for another exciting morning of music and trivia?” he asked.

“Yeah!” everyone cheered.

“Okay!” the host said. “Let's meet our bands!” The spotlight turned to the four bands. Everyone looked awkward or uncomfortable.

“First up is Charm Inu!” Sky said. “We have Isao, Katsuya, Tokuma, and Hideki.” The crowd started cheering. The men bowed their heads.

“Next we have Lady Dragon!” the host said. “Mai, Subaru, Kasumi, and Yoko!” The crowd went wild as Mai winked at the camera. Isao rolled his eyes.

“Next, we have Salt!” Sky said. “Say hello to Shinta, Snow, and Kenta!” Cheers mixed with boos. Shinta glared.

“Easy there,” Sky said. “Let's go to our last band. Here's Devil Train! Shinzu, Misao, and Blane!” The crowd cheered again. Shinzu and Misao bowed their heads. Blane stood up and stuck out his tongue out as he held out two devil signs.

“Yeah!” he shouted. The crowd grew uncomfortably silent.

“Uh… yeah… right…” Sky said as Blane sat down. “Now that we've met out bands, let's start the games!”

“Yay!” the audience cheered. The host turned to the bands.

“Are you ready?” he asked.

“Yeah,” the bands said.

“I said, are you ready?” Sky asked again.

“Yeah?” the guests yelled.

“Okay!” the host yelled. “Let's begin!” A twinkle flashed in his eye.
