Chapter 2: Peace & Smile
“Shou I can’t believe you screwed up our name,” Saga said after their new name was announced on the loudspeaker. Shou simply responded with a blank stare and a wide smile.
Hiroto, sensing that Shou was being attacked, immediately jumped into the conversation, “I don’t know why you’re so upset, Saga. I think the name ‘Alice Nine’ suits us better. I’ve always wanted to name my child Arisu anyway,” Hiroto said with as much attitude as he could muster.
“I’m sorry but I don’t have my squirrel to English dictionary with me,” Saga said and chuckled a bit at his own wit.
“Wow, really? Squirrel jokes, real mature!” Hiroto responded trying to get in Saga’s face but the drastic height difference made it quite difficult.
“Whoa whoa whoa, cool your jets there, little guy,” Tora said picking Hiroto up by the ridiculous straps of his costume and stepping in between the fighting members. “I know tensions are high right now, but we’re supposed to be a band, can’t we all just get along?”
“I don’t like anyone trying to take a swing at Shou,” Hiroto replied, accidentally spitting a little bit in Shou’s direction. “Oh jeez, my bad,” Hiroto said, wiping his mouth a little.
All the members tried to look away to save Hiroto from embarrassment, but they couldn’t sufficiently stifle their laughter.
“…Is it raining? Why am I wet?” Shou said, finally coming out of his daze.
Before anyone could answer, it was announced that Alice Nine was on-deck and had to go backstage to get their hair and make-up done. They were all pretty nervous and anxious at the same time to make their debut.
The backstage area was brightly lit and filled with hairdressers, technicians, and other bands. Everyone was shouting and moving about hastily, increasing the anxiety in each of the members. Soon they found themselves even more frazzled as they were each swept in a different direction, away from one another.
“Hey, you must be in a band!” a random stranger approached Tora as he was getting his hair done.
“Uh, yeah… how’d you guess…” Tora said, slightly mocking the man’s stupidity.
“Well, I just wanted to let you know that I’m a talent scout for a huge record company, and lot of other scouts are here too so I want to make sure you do your best because we’ll all be watching you and judging every move you make,” the man said firmly before leaving.
“What the - I’m going to throw up. I have to find the other members so they don’t screw it up!” Tora said, getting up before his hair was finished.
The hairdresser, however, was not having any of Tora. “SIT DOWN I’M NOT FINISHED,” she said pushing him back in the chair.
“Listen, woman, you don’t understand. Sometimes our vocalist does these weird dances and it’s just not okay for such an important event!” Tora said frantically trying to negotiate with the stylist.
“If you do not sit the fuck down I’m going to cut all your hair off,” the annoyed woman said holding up a pair of scissors threateningly.
“…UM, okay take it easy lady!” Tora then reluctantly sat still since he appreciated having his dreadlocks.
“Hi my name’s Hiroto!” Hiroto said approaching every person he came into contact with.
“…I don’t care,” a rather short man with sunglasses said as he tried to escape from the hyperactive guitarist.
“That’s kind of mean! We can be friends, what’s your name!?” Hiroto said following too closely behind the man.
“…You don’t recognize me?” the man said, offended.
“How would I recognize you? You’re wearing sunglasses!” Hiroto said throwing a light-hearted laugh at the end.
“Haven’t you ever heard of the band the GazettE?” the man asked getting slightly excited.
“Oh yeah, they’re okay I guess,” Hiroto said happily.
“Okay you guess??? The GazettE is the greatest band in the entire world, you should know that,” the short man said before running away hastily.
“Hm, that was weird! I hope I run into him again before -” Hiroto was interrupted by a crazed woman approaching him with scissors.
“Jesus God what is wrong with this band? Can’t any of you sit still?” the stylist said extremely annoyed, grabbing Hiroto and dragging him over to a chair.
“You don’t have to be so violent!” Hiroto whined as he tried to find a comfortable spot in the chair, but kept sliding off.
“What the hell, just sit normally!” the hairdresser said as she began teasing his hair.
“I’m sorry! My feet don’t reach the ground! Wai wai wai” Hiroto said distressed and slightly manic.
After the woman provided him with a pillow for a booster-seat and a magazine to keep him busy, she continued her work.
“Alright, so what do you want done with your hair?” a male stylist asked Shou politely.
“Oh, hai, sou desu ne,” Shou responded looking at himself in the mirror.
“Um, do you want me to tease it up or would you prefer to wear this ridiculous hat?” the hairdresser said motioning to a fedora hat with a cheetah print buckle.
“OH! THE CHEETAH PRINT IT’S MINE!” Shou responded excitedly.
“What is wrong with this ban - ” the hairdresser was interrupted by Tora who came awkwardly running towards Shou in his large boots.
“Shou I have to tell you something really important!” Tora said out of breath.
“Oh hello Tora, hai! Hairdresser-san, this is my best friend Tora, hai sou. He’s been with me since GIVUSS. Maybe you’ve heard of us,” Shou said hopefully.
“Can’t say that I have,” the hairdresser responded unimpressed.
“Yes well, hai, you should have seen us. We were quite scary looking, hai” Shou continued to tell the hairdresser all about Givuss when Tora exploded.
“SHOU THAT’S NOT IMPORTANT, I want to tell you that - ” unfortunately Tora was interrupted once again, but this time by Hiroto.
“SHOU SHOU LOOK HOW COOL MY HAIR LOOKS!” Hiroto said helping himself to Shou’s lap.
“Well isn’t that something, hai,” Shou said admiring the many braids speckling Hiroto’s hair.
“Hiroto, buddy, Shou and I were in the middle of something,” Tora said angrily.
“AAAAAAAAAAAH” Hiroto screamed before running off.
“…Why doesn’t he like me?” Tora said, depressed.
“Well, you see, hai, he is very small, sou ne, and you’re very tall and manry so you’re a little intimidating, hai,” Shou said putting a hand on Tora.
“Uh, Shou, I’m not gay…” Tora said, but didn’t move out of Shou’s reach.
Suddenly a very official-looking man shouted over the entire room announcing that it was Alice Nine’s turn up on stage.
“Well time to go!” Shou said getting up and approaching the stage. Soon the other members were reunited just behind the curtain.
“Saga, Nao, where were you guys?” Hiroto asked curiously.
“I don’t know, making out with some girls,” Saga said coolly.
“There was a buffet in the employee-only room so I decided to help myself hahahah,” Nao said cheerily.
Tora finally seized the moment to inform them of the talent scouts since they were all gathered together. “Well now that everyone’s here, I have to tell you something important - ”
“No time! We have to go on hahahah,” Nao giggled as he went on stage with Saga following shortly after.
“It’s SHOWTIME! Haha, get it Shou?” Hiroto said playfully grabbing Shou’s hands.
“HA HA HIROTO!” Shou said humoring him.
“Shou, you know, I’m up for a fist fight…” Hiroto said flirtatiously.
“…You’re what?” Shou said, but then Hiroto was ushered onto the stage before he could explain himself.
“Alright Shou, I’ll just tell you,” Tora tried once again but then the security officer grabbed Tora and practically threw him on stage and Shou followed in suit.
Despite the fact that the crowd had no idea whom they were, the audience was very enthusiastic and cheering quite loudly. All the members were awkwardly fumbling with their instruments as their hearts were pounding. They wanted everything to be perfect.
“ARE YOU READY HOKKAIDO?” Shou shouted enthusiastically.
Dammit Shou, we’re in Tokyo, Tora thought to himself, already watching their potential record deal go down the drain.
~*~*~*~
“That was a great live!!!” Hiroto shouted as he returned backstage dripping in sweat.
“Yeah it was a lot of fun!” Tora said rubbing the back of his neck. “Shou, buddy, why do you always screw up the name of the city we’re in? You did it in Givuss too!”
“…We’re not in Hokkaido, iie?” Shou asked looking confused.
Just then, the rather short man whom Hiroto greeted earlier passed by them.
“Hey! GazettE’s number one fan, what did you think of our performance?” Hiroto said excitedly.
“Oh… your performance was pretty good. I actually heard rumors that the Peace and Smile Company might sign you guys…” he responded emotionless.
“IS THAT RUKI????” Shou said, getting out of his chair so drastically that it tipped over and hit Saga.
“Um, I gotta go,” the man said running off once again.
“Did he say PSC will sign us?” Tora asked, smiling wildly.
“He was probably lying,” Saga commented, rubbing his shin where the chair hit.
“Saga, why do you have to be such a debby-downer?” Hiroto asked, “Let’s go out and speak to the company ourselves!”
“Hahahah that’s a great idea! But I’m going to do it just to be safe, no offense guys,” Nao said before anyone could argue.
Back outside the venue, it was slowly becoming more and more empty seeing as they were the last band to perform. Nao quickly spotted some obvious people wearing ‘We <3 PSC’ shirts and approached them.
“Hahahah hi I’m Nao I’m the leader for the band Alice Nine!” Nao said bowing politely at the official looking group of individuals.
“Oh yeah, nice to meet you,” one man replied pleasantly.
“So rumor has it that you’re going to sign us hahahah not to be forward or anything,” Nao said, quickly getting to the point.
“Umm…” the man wasn’t sure exactly how to respond.
“Please? We’ll work really hard and be successful and in the future you can use our guitarist Hiroto as a gigolo in a PV!” begged Nao.
“Hiroto? You mean the squirrel?” another man butted in.
“Hahah actually he’s really a human.”
“Well… I don’t know. You guys need a lot of work,” the first man said unsure.
“Just give Shou some vocal lessons! We’ll be good to go!” Nao said, “Come on, you won’t regret it hahahah.”
“Alright, but if you guys fail, we’re still turning Hiroto into a gigolo,” the second man said.
And that’s how Alice Nine got signed with PSC.
Author’s Notes: Again, not meant to be offensive to any band. Sorry I had to bring Blue Flame into it, but this is clearly how Hiroto ended up playing such a promiscuous role. Hm, things that might be unclear: Hiroto’s ‘wai wai wai’ is what he does during lives to get people pumped up, but in here he’ll just do it all the time. Also his ‘I’m up for a fist fight’ line was what he said would be his pick-up line during an interview. And Shou always says 'hai sou' just because i feel like he says that a lot during interviews or just in general. xD; Any other questions, comments, love, hate, or lust lemme know!
