[This is it. He briefly mentioned it to Tenn and Ryuu, and it's time. They've been here long enough, and the time to move is now. So, with a upbeat vocal-less track playing from his cell phone in the background, the former Sexiest Man in Japan comes on screen. He has silver hair like moonlight and deep gunmetal eyes, with cat-like pupils. Oddly enough, he's not Cordis.

He's dressed to the nines and has a serious, yet optimistic expression.]

Good evening. I'm Gaku Yaotome, leader of top Japanese idol group TRIGGER.

[He takes a moment to bow politely, like he would do for any intro video. Even if his social skills are lacking at other times, he has the business on this front down pat. Standing upright again, he offers a faint smile.]

Our other members are Tenn Kujo and Ryuunosuke Tsunashi. We'll be in your care. The music you're hearing is a preview of our debut single, "Diamond Fusion". This song means a lot to us, so I hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do.

Our idol activities here may just be beginning, but we'll be sure to capture your attention.

"A live as stimulating as the first time..."

We'll do our best to bring it to you. Look forward to it.

[He makes the TRIGGER gun hand sign, poses for a moment with that, then the screen goes black and there's a quiet, whispered "bang". It's actually kind of cool...]

[ ... Sexy. Samatoki makes a face at that. Sexy isn't intimidating??? He wouldn't want that rep for his group, even if they'd probably get a ton of votes for being sexy?? HM. Maybe this is something to consider, after all ]

We rep Yokohama in territory battles. Ever heard of a Hypnosis Mic?

[ Maybe Gaku should teach Samatoki how to be sexy one of these days. ]

[Sexy is intimidating sometimes, okay! Oppressive sexiness is a thing. And TRIGGER pulls it off sometimes, even if accidentally.]

Never, but I'm interested now. Territory battles?

[Oh bet. Teach Gaku to rap.]

We got Hypnosis Mics back home, an' we use 'em for rap battles. The division who wins gets a part of the losing division's territory.

We got idols an' all, but for divisions, we fight for our lives with our voices.

No kidding... That sounds kind of... [Ridiculous? Dystopian? Gaku ins't really sure how to put this tactfully so he doesn't even try.] ... like something out of a movie, where I'm from. I guess you had it pretty rough.

Heh, that's how life is.

[ It's supposed to be rough!! Life is not fair, etc!! I HATE SAMATOKI ]

Guess it sounds pretty out of this world, huh? Survival's down to how good you can slam a beat in someone's face. Not to brag an' all, but I'm one of the best at it.

[ One of. He's at least humble enough to say that he's not the best. He is in Yokohama, at least. ]

[LIFE ISN'T FAIR I MEAN THAT'S THE GOD'S HONEST TRUTH BUT. SAMATOKI. PLS.]

A world where you have to sing--well, alright, rap--for your life? Or at least your livelihood, right? It's not like I can rap all that well, so I'd be toast. My hat's off to you.

Heh, might be interesting to put some rap in your songs. Idols don't do that, yeah?

[ At least, he doesn't think so, anyway. His knowledge of idol music is limited, though. ]
