Introduction
To prevent the potential neglect of your poor idols, I have an important announcement to make! Although this RP is set in Japan, roleplayers do not have to limit themselves to Japanese customs. For example, if you aren't an expert on the food there, you don't have to have your character always eating ramen, meat buns, and drinking sake (because that's all you know). If this were to happen, your poor "handsome" J-Pop hunk is going to turn into a malnourished, washed up, dead-beat singer who goes around beating people's cars with umbrellas’ (we all know it can happen). Go ahead and feed your poor characters some American food, they're starving by now anyways XP. After all, it's the models you're not supposed to feed... Now... on with the roleplay.
Um... well after I lay down some rules... though it seems people don't read these anyway. This is a semi-literate roleplay. I know what you're thinking, "An idol roleplay? Semi-literate? Why? It's not like literate people join idol roleplays." That's because no one really bothers to stress LITERATE ROLEPLAY... LIT... LIT... LITERATE. If you use proper punctuation, type in third person/past tense. Don't confuse me with your hot mess of spelling errors and typos... then you're good to go. If you are reading this, please include the expression [Tacos FTW] into your character sheets. This is why I'm asking for a roleplay example. Nothing too big, just about seven sentences or more that let me know that you've mastered the fundamentals of elementary school education... that are listed above :D. There are more rules... but that's what the rules list is for, so go read that after you finish reading this introduction. Oh, and don't forget. J-Pop idols don't make the music, they just make it sound good. So sorry guitar players. Although you're character might play guitar, there isn't going to be too much of that in this RP. Just some singing awesomeness. Now! On with the superstar dom!
DOM DOM DOM DOM DOOOOOOOOMMMM!
Now here's more about the RP!

First Single
First Interview
First Video
First Scandal...
There are a lot of firsts when it comes to the showbiz world. The means by which you achieve them, how fast it takes to get there, or if they will make or break your career all depends on the style in which they are done.. and you've got style. If you didn't, then you wouldn't be in one of the up and coming groups on the J-Pop scene with the most potential to make it big. But don't let superstardom get to your head. There are lows that come with highs. The world of showbiz isn't only glamour, it has a dark side to it as well.
KST Forever is signed with Vivid Recording Studios. Smile Pop is signed with Adder Agency. All the singers were scouted and auditioned through a talent search. They are not yet big, but already sworn enemies from the get go. As they both make their appearance into the spotlight, it is not yet decided who will come out on top. Both groups are just now brainstorming ideas for their first singles. They live in separate apartments with their fellow group members. Each morning their managers come by and give their assignments for the day... It is from this humble beginning that their stories start...
These are some steps that your group might take to rise in fame:
1. CD Cover Photoshoot
2. First Outdoor Concert (Promote CD)
3. First Radio Interview
4. First Single Release
5. First Television Interview
6. First Music Video
7. Release Second Single
8. Magazine Shoot and Feature
9. First Scandal
10. First Large-Scale Concert (Reveal 3rd Song)
11. Whatever happens from there on out :D.

Maaka came out of the bathroom with her batterie powered hairdryer, she hummed as she stepped into the room she shared with Solange, everyone shared a room with someone. Although Solange really really liked her privacy, so she tried to be quick about getting ready in the morning for her so that she could do her routine, whatever that may be. Maaka was also very used to getting ready quickly, she had after all shared one bathroom with five other siblings her whole life.
Maaka slipped on her yellow star tank and ruffled cream skirt, and flats to complete the look of utter failure at a sense of style. Yah, she tried, no really she does try, but just fails... Her look was that of a colour blind kindergardener. Maaka was utterly oblivious to it however, and walked out with the hairdryer still going as if she was just fine and completely happy. She passed Solange coming out and tried to say hi, but the door was shut in her face pretty much, and locked....
"Sorry..!" she said mildly as she waved at the door. By the time she reached the living room someone else was in the shower and everyone was up.
Turning off herhair dryer ( hurray for short hair!), Maaka went over to her

His guitar was one of the few things he kept close to him at all times. The members of Smile Pop didn't have to bring their instruments back to the apartment, but he did, mostly because he liked having solo practice sessions in his room.
Kaori brushed a heaping pile of clothes aside with his foot, successfully unearthing the body of his guitar. He picked it up, giving its strings a quick strum before setting the guitar inside its case and fastening the snaps into place. Kaori then pulled the strap over his shoulder and made his way back to the front entrance.
Once there, he bent down and slipped on his pair of electric blue converse. As he worked on the laces, Kaori looked up at Ren and flashed him a friendly smile (yes, Kaori is a very smiley person :D).
"Sorry 'bout the wait. Is everyone else ready?"

As the question of if they were ready to go came to context he almost wanted to cause some problems and say no. He really wanted to disinfect the counter as sitting on it had been unsanitary. He really wanted to reply a fuck you e-mail to his brother. He really, really wanted to burn the letter his parents had sent him. But no, if he did all that he'd arouse suspicion and that was the last thing he needed as he was already causing some suspicion. "Guess so," he stated while he shrugged and tugged on the bottom hem of his coat.
Yuuki didn't really want to get his photo taken and didn't want to be anywhere near that man. 'Respect my elders,' he thought over. 'I'd sooner be hit by a plane than do that.' The thought made him smile because it was a nearly impossible chance for him to be struck down by a plane. Unless he went out of his way to make it happen but he wasn't going to do that because really that would ruin his plans. Plans needed to be followed through to the end' especially if they were to prove others wrong. So he walked over to the front door and opened it. "Are we leaving?" he asked as he stood in the doorway with his hands in his pockets.

Very well, he was going to have to get over it very soon. There was no room for complaints in showbiz, not unless you were the performer for the crowd. If Ren wanted to go with Adder, which he was only willing to go with one of the top agencies, then he'd just have to deal with it. A gentleman of his calliber did not complain.
He straightened up as Kaori entered, looking at the goofball as he smiled up at him. Ren ruffled his hair and gave a ghost of a smile. "Your hair looks better messy anyhow..." he turned away and was going to head for the door when he turned and saw only Yuuki and Kaori ready and waiting behind him. He frowned a little, "Humerous, I was under the impression that I was the manager of a three person group." He walked over to the couch and saw that Metsuki was asleep in a sitting up positon, had he been pretending to be awake this whole time?! Now Ren would be required to repeat himself. Is this what parenting was like? No wonder he didn't want children.
Ren leaned over and brought his head up, holding his chin so that when he woke up, he'd see one heck of an annoyed expression, "Oh sleeping Prince, time to awaken." He used a mocking tone and snapped his fingers next to his ear.

Turning on his booted heels, Nobu strode away from his vehicle and crossed the road onto the sidewalk, carefully picking his way through the streets. While he walked, he couldn't help but stop to examine one of his posters—they'd made it so suggestive, it bothered him. They were always trying to make him pose for camera's as suggestively as they could because fans went “wild” over it. For once, he'd like to design the posters, and they'd make the fans go wild because of his talents, not how he looked or was dressed. Sucking in a hissing breath of air, Nobu shook his head and continued his walk towards the shop. Ian's directions had been pretty accurate as he passed by the cute little fish shop, he had to stop and peer inside. He'd never actually been shopping downtown because admittedly much of his time was monopolized in the empty (non-smoking) studio or cooped in his suite. It was boring and he often thought about sneaking out to meet residents, he wasn't used to dealing with most of the business parts of touring. Back home, it seemed like it was all play and no business—with his manager faithfully dealing with anything that needed to be dealt with. Now it was like he wouldn't be able to meet anyone of his fans. As he pressed his palm against the glass of Miss-fish-lady's shop, he glanced over his shoulder and squinted to spot the two cat statues the stylist had been talking about.
Nobu rolled his shoulders back and took another deep breath, maybe after he'd be so lucky to stop at a few shops before heading back to his suite. Maybe he'd ask Ian for directions and he could send him off to the closest sushi shop, as well as a small bar? It couldn't hurt to be familiarized with the place he'd be staying at for awhile. Tsking, the raven-haired man pulled his attention away from the colourful shops lining the busy street and quickly made his way over to the stylists shop. His bright eyes stopped short of the windows (which seemed to have something weird covering them), and he peered over the top of his sunglasses before pushing his way through an oncoming crowd. The streets were always busy at this time of day and he never understood why. Nobu reached for the door and dragged it open, moving in brusquely before glancing over his shoulder. Content that no one had followed him, Nobu slipped off his sunglasses and deposited them in his pocket before he caught sight of the small, blond.
He easily towered over the man, but he thought they might've been the same age. Breathing out, Nobu pulled the small, oriental-looking slides on the door closed to finalize the privacy he would need. Everything in the shop was perfect—there were no wet, bedraggled customers ogling at him and the stylist was as young and spry as he was. Tipping his hat off his head, the vocalist tousled his hair before hanging the cap on a rack and turned his attention on the stylist. “Ah, thank you.” Nobu said, motioning at the windows before moving closer to him. To anyone else, Nobu's friendliness could come off as intimidating—and the only thing intimidating besides his height was his serious eyes. It was also his selling point. “Nobu Kinmoshi, we may as well be on first name basis' since you'll be working on my hair.”

The crude sound of snapping clouded Metsuki's ears as his dark nightmare vanished. His sensitive, bright eyes were staring at a rather annoyed face. He pouted as he look away from the face of his manager. He rolled his eyes as he sighed lazily. "What? I'm awake,"he said in a overly tired voice,"Are we leaving finally?" The impatience in his voice was oblivious.
(Neh, writer's block)

Whatever happened past that point didn't matter to him because he got his slight satisfaction and so he could go wait by the door as patiently as the next guy. Leaned against the door frame, hands in pockets and newly added earphones in his ears. If looked at he was the pinnacle of calm and collected waiting. Yuuki was mean and yea Metsuki would be pissed at him for the rest of forever but it really did bother him that the man had to be so rude to everyone. The man should pray that things didn't fall into the twenty-year old's hands or the cold water would be the beginning. Yuuki could do worse.
Much, much worse. But for now he was content with waiting the rest of them out and wondering how he would get in contact with this Nobu guy he'd been hearing about. He'd have to do some number research.

When Yuuki came to stand next to him in the front entrance he couldn't help saying, "Was that really necessary?"
Kaori was pretty sure the man would either give him some snappy reply or ignore him completely, but he couldn't help voicing his disapproval; though he was pretty sure he sounded exasperated more than anything else.

"Oi! Hurry your bloody arses up! We'll be late, and believe me you won't want that..." she mumbled the last bit to herself as she caught the look on their manager's face. It wouldn't be good if they dallied any longer. Not one bit for any of them.
Solange sighed and grabbed the keys to her personal motorbikeand fiddled with them while she waited. Quickly though, she became bored and dug out her lighterand pocket knife, messing with those instead.
