TIMELINE:
KAIBYAKU-ERA: (Yukimura Aged 12, Yanagi Aged 13, --- Aged 13 and --- Aged 15. )
-
POST-KAIBYAKU:
- Yanagi (aged 20) takes on the role of managing Kirihara Akaya (aged 14). (After intitally meeting when Yanagi was nearly 19 and Akaya 13).
- Akaya comes on to Yanagi, who resists.
-
But eventually gives in ;D-
After the sex began, but before Akaya's fame was altered (just a regular tantrum).
-
Akaya decides to leave.
PURGATORY-ERA:
- Yukimura (aged 20) inherits the club/meets Fuji (maybe Fuji has a connection to club from before? Or was involved in law and in carrying out the will? Who exactly did Yukimura inherit from?)
- Staff are hired. (Marui, Jackal, Sakuno, Tomoka) (Not Kirihara yet obviously).
- First band appears (Niou's band? - the idea that Niou slept with Yukimura in order to get them what he considers a great deal and consistent gigs, but Atobe considers a contract to nobody in the middle of nowhere; this creates the first obvious signs of friction in the band?)
-
Fuji learns something about Yukimura.
- Yukimura hires Tezuka as Assistant Manager after about 6 months (through Fuji I take it? ;D Though this doesn't have to happen early; I don't see Tezuka taking on a job with unknown risks).
-
Tezuka learns the (Yuki's) routine quickly.-
Fuji and Yuki have a routine, too.
- Second band (Yagyuu's band) appears.
- First and secondb and strike up an intense rivalry.
- Niou & Yuki have a moment backstage with a COLLAR. (Yagyuu witnesses this and his obsession escalates, unable to lash out at Yukimura, his boss).
- Sanada is hired to promote the club now that it has two bands? (that have struck up an intense and interesting rivalry XD)
-
Yukimura sleeps with Sanada. ONCE.- Yagyuu attepts to drug and date-rape Niou but it backfires.
- DJ!Yuuta is hired to balance out the bands with his own music?
...And soon realises what most everyone else knows: Fuji/Yuki.
-
Niou and Yagyuu make their bet on the switch.-
Kirihara (aged 18) runs away from fame and ends up at Yukimura's (aged 23) doorstep. With no star to manage, Yanagi (aged 24) becomes a record company scout.
-
Sanada has barely met a newly-hired Kirihara.
- Sanada figures out what Everyone Else Already Knows ( Yukimura and Fuji are having sex in the office, while he and Tezuka are working next door).
- Support band 2 (Fudomine) and Tachibana appear. The fact that An works with Sanada means she could have been informed of or involved in their hiring.
- Without Kirihara, Yanagi has found the time to discover where Yukimura is. And subsequently, where Kirihara is.
-
Yanagi visits the club for the first time.-
When watching for Yukimura, Yanagi finds Akaya instead.
-
And probably that very night they're back in bed together.
-
Akaya serves Yanagi at the club obliviously.
-
Yanagi tries to use Akaya to get closer to Yukimura secretly.
-
Yukimura discovers that Yanagi is around.
A more detailed how.
- Mizuki pokes his nose into Yanagi's business - Purgatory
-
Yuki lets slip to Yanagi that he knows how Akaya (and Yanagi) is in bed.
-
Support band 1 are hired (characters yet to introduce):
journalist!Yumiko
researcher/old friend of Yanagi!Inui
