Wai!
Fuji came down to the interview with Echizen-san, and then we went out again~! ^^ Fuji and me, not Echizen-san, hai. I think my boss wants to talk to me about something on Monday, he doesn't seem very happy.



Deciding to show up on time for his interview with Echizen Ryoma, Jirou had flopped down onto the comfy couch in the studio – and fallen fast asleep. The curly-haired boy continued snoring, despite the background noises of people yelling his name, some even resorting to clashing pots together to awaken the dozing DJ.

Ryoma wandered in quietly, hands shoved in pockets and hat pulled slightly over his eyes. Interview? Today? Cheh. He wandered into the studio and noted the sleeping DJ. Must be him. He narrowed his eyes slightly and gave him a prod.

Mumbling incoherently, Jirou's eyebrows knitted together in a frown when he vaguely felt a poke in his side. No, this dream was too good to wake up from, even though it had the oddest soundtrack he had ever heard. Sounded like pots banging with a monk chanting some endless mantra. Swatting at his attacker, he rolled over and balanced dangerously on his seat, snoozing lightly.

This was too strange to be true. Ryoma contemplated just going home. This interview was never going to happen. "Hoi...DJ-san."

Mantra... so... weird... A leg dangling off the chair, Jirou shifted to rid of the noise and promptly slid off his seat, sprawling across the floor. He muttered and curled up into a fetus position.

Fuji walked to the door of the recording studio. He'd been invited to watch Jirou conduct one of his interviews. He also wanted to make sure the questions weren't too rough on Echizen. He'd been going through a lot lately. As he entered he noticed the chaos insuing and picked up the sleeping form from the ground, slidding him to his seat. "Jirou, wake up, you have an interview." Fuji spoke into the DJ's ear.

Oh good, Fuji stopped the mantra. Jirou's brain paused in its unconsciousness. FUJI? Happily, he instinctively reached out, half-awake, and grabbed the warm body nearest to him. "Mmf... 'ji!"

Ryoma stared at the scene in front of him for a moment. He raised an eyebrow before slowly backing away. Okay..he didn't need this. The boy attempted to turn and leave the studio.
"Echizen-kun. Where are you going? Don't you need to be interviewed still?" Fuji asked politely. He then turned to Jirou. "Ohayo"

"Ohayo!" Jirou chirped, now fully awake. Releasing Fuji, he sat up straight and blinked owlishly at the departing Ryoma. "Oh, Echizen-san, you're here!"

Ryoma jumped slightly as he was noticed by both the other people in the studio. Too late. Damn...he shoulda ran when he could. Forcing a smile over his face he sat down in a seat nearby. "Hai.."

Smiling back at Echizen, Fuji took a seat next to the host of the show. "Sit down Echizen-kun. I'm sure Akutagawa-san is ready now."

---

Jirou: Okay, let's start then. Welcome once again to 'Interview with a Band Member' with Akutagawa Jirou and today, we have the lead vocalist from Aozu... Echizen Ryoma. Along with the brilliant keyboardist, FUJI SHUUSUKE!!

Ryoma: Ohayou gozaimasu.

Fuji: Ohayo.

Jirou: To begin with, Echizen-san, how did you decide on this musical career?

Ryoma: I grew up in the musical industry. Oyaji was a singer. I entered competitions in America and I met Oishi-sempai when I came to Japan. He introduced me to Aozu and it began from there.

Jirou: I see, I see! Following your father's footsteps then?

Ryoma: Chigau! -calms self down slightly and eyes Fuji- I mean...no..I follow my own path.

Fuji: -smiles at Ryoma as encouragment-

Jirou: -blinks- Oh, okay... -beams- It's cute how you're treating Fuji like an older brother!

Fuji: - smiles brightly at Jirou-

Jirou: I guess this explains the 'love and discipline' bit.

Fuji: Of course

Jirou: You're such a good sempai, Fuji

Ryoma: Fuji-sempai taught me a lot about composing and lyrical writing.

Fuji: I try my hardest

Jirou: Aww. Now, Echizen-san... I'm sure you've read Dan's latest magazine issue.

Ryoma: Eeto. I haven't actually. I haven't gone out for a while. And I've just been working on band projects at home.

Fuji: Fuji nudged Jirou, whispering in his ear "Be gentle on him. Alright, Jirou <3"

Jirou: -beams- Hai~! -turns back to Ryoma- Well, the article concerned two members from Pulltab to Can...

Ryoma: Two members from... ...

Fuji: *Fuji looks at Jirou to make sure he is watching his words*

Jirou: Pulltab to Can. -blinks at Fuji-

Ryoma: -sits there quietly- right...?

Fuji: *leaning in he whispered* Be careful. He's a very young boy, I don't want him to get hurt, alright....itoshii?

Jirou: -blush-....Okay... -smiles at Ryoma- Do the names 'Ibu Shinji' and 'Kamio Akira' ring a bell?

Ryoma: Ah hai. Kamio Akira and Ibu Shinji. I know of them. -lowers eyes and remains quiet-

Fuji: *gives Ryoma a concerned look*

Jirou: Okay. Well... would you like to explain what happened?

Fuji: *takes Jirou's wrist in his hand*

Ryoma: -blinks slightly- what incident are you asking about?

Fuji: *opens eyes and looks at Jirou*

Jirou: -fidgets under Fuji's stare- Um... the... incident that occurred between you and Ibu-san...?

Fuji: *squeezes Jirou's wrist once*

Ryoma: -blush, frown, stares at the microphone- I just bumped into him at the cd store. I didn't even know who he was really until just recently.

Jirou: I see... -glances at Fuji, then back to Ryoma- So nothing happened?

Fuji: *another warning squeeze*

Ryoma: -frowns for a moment longer, wondering how to answer...remains quite for a bit-

Fuji: Akutagawa-san, is this really necessary? I thought he was here about his career? Besides, our managers have already cleared that situation up. I'm sure they'd be more than happy to answer your questions officially.

Jirou: Ah... Okay... I just thought the fans would rather hear it from the mouth of their idol instead of his representative...

Ryoma: It wasn't anything big. Ibu-san is different from other people and it was just an interesting encounter.

Jirou: 'Interesting', Echizen-san?

Ryoma: Ah, hai. Meeting people from a band that was created from random talent from friendship is interesting.

Jirou: I'm sure it must be! How did you come by Kamio-san then, through Ibu-san?

Ryoma: Ah hai, they were together in the cd store.

Fuji: *whisper* Carefully...

Jirou: ...-fidgets- Um... what are your thoughts on Kamio-san?

Ryoma: He's very...-thinks [violent]- outgoing.

Fuji: *smiles at Ryoma as if to say "good job"*

Jirou: Friendly, you mean?

Ryoma: Yeah, he really goes out of his way to say hi and to greet you properly in the building.

Jirou: That's sweet! -beams- You're good friends with him, I take it?

Fuji: *whispers* Do you want to go out after the interview? *blows lightly in Jirou's ear*

Ryoma: Well not really, I've just encountered him a few times that's all. -not watching Fuji or Jirou-

Jirou: -eyes widen, then blushes and whispers back- Yes! -turns back to Ryoma- I see, thank you for clearing that up, Echizen-san. Moving on, what are your thoughts on your band's first Single?

Fuji: *lets hand fall from jirou's wrist to cover his hand*

Ryoma: Well I wrote it...so it's all about my feelings and such. I don't know how other people will take to it. I know some people will like it...they helped me enormously in the process. I'm just not sure how it will fare as our first single.

Jirou: I'm sure it'll work out fine! Any thoughts on the competition amongst the rival bands? In other words, what do you feel about their music?

Fuji: *rubbing his thumb over the back of Jirou's hand*

Ryoma: I believe we have a slight advantage with an english release. We can appeal to more audiences that way. I have a japanese translation for the japanese audience. I haven't heard their music so I can't really comment.

Jirou: That's true, English songs are far more popular these days. -beams at Fuji, then turns back to Ryoma- You haven't heard their music at all?

Ryoma: I haven't been down to the recording studio while they were doing their albums. As for Cap to Bin. I'm not sure if they're changing their music style for the contract or keeping their old style. Their school songs were...chirpy.

Jirou: Chirpy is still their style I think! Well, that's all we have for today, thank you so much for coming down to my show, good luck with your next few albums, where are we going today Fuji? -yell of "AKUTAGAWA!" in the background-

Fuji: It was a pleasure as always Akutagawa-san. And wherever you want is fine with me. ^_~
