[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...]

If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know. I'm really looking forward to your performance!

Even if it's not as IDOLiSH7, we'll do our best. [It's hard, honestly, knowing that there isn't even an option to work with the other four members of i7. But TRIGGER being here really does put him at ease.] Thank you for always looking out for us, Tsunashi-san.

Anytime, Sougo-kun. I know you and Tamaki-kun are used to working as MEZZO", so it might be presumptuous of me to think this way... but even if it's just you two standing with us, I think I'll be able to feel the rest of IDOLiSH7 too.

[ just like he does with TRIGGER, even if it's just him. ]

[Ah... Barely, just barely, a twinge of what can only be called heartache makes itself known. But at the same time, Ryuu always seems to know what to say, and Sougo's expression mellows even further.]

It isn't presumptuous at all. Rather, I hope we can put on performance that they would be proud of. Even here, I'm sure all of our hearts are connected.

[Before he met the other members, he would have never said something so sappy, and yet...]

Thank you. I know how selfish this sounds, but... I'm glad you're here.

[gunshow]

[ ryuu likes sappiness. ]

Of course. While we're here, I want to go all out. As much as I can! Having people next to me who know my reason for that and still support us... it makes me glad too.

[koboreta]

Fufu. You and the rest of TRIGGER will always have my support.

[What's the point in living if he can't support TRIGGER?]

In that case, we'll do our best to be suitable rivals. I'm looking forward to it, Tsunashi-san!
