There have been many girl groups in later generations, and many of them lack strong singing and dancing abilities.

However, as long as they have a certain amount of highlights, they can be accepted by the audience.

Compared to the meticulously crafted "mainstream idols" of the Showa era, these girl groups with certain flaws instead give people a sense of "reality."

When the highlights of the girl group members are sufficient to overshadow their shortcomings in singing and dancing, then the idol girl group has the potential to take shape.

The artists of STARLIGHT, who were selected to shoot photo books, at least have good figures and looks, which is already one highlight. As long as they are further developed, forming a real girl group should not be a problem.

As for whether the audience of RB can accept it?

Later groups like AKB48 and Nogizaka46 have already fully proven it.

...

...

"Mr. Ohmura, have you ever considered forming a girl group?"

"Girl group? A female ensemble?" Ohmura's face was already red, and his speech was a bit slurred, "Like 'Flower Trio'... and... Pink Lady?"

"No," Eiichi Naganuma said helplessly, "Mr. Ohmura, if they were at the level of those two groups, would they need to be drinking here?"

"You're right, then what is a girl group?"

"By definition, it's a group of girls, but the number of members can be larger, more than five." Eiichi Naganuma slowly explained,

"Each one is not a perfect idol, with their own flaws and highlights,

but when the little bits of light combine into a whole, what people see is the 'starlight' of the idols."

"That... that kind of... Starlight..." Ohmura laughed, looking like a lecherous middle-aged man,

"It must be very beautiful~"

Then with a thud, he passed out on the counter of the izakaya.

"What the hell~ Drinking so much and still daring to invite someone out for drinks?!" Eiichi Naganuma, who hadn't noticed, let him get drunk.

"How dare you make me pay for the drinks?!"

"Damn! After paying, I even have to send this old man home?! I don't even know where he lives!"

...

...

"So, you brought him to the studio?" Ito Shuichi looked at Ohmura, who was lying on the office recliner.

"I really don't know where he lives."

"Sending him back to the agency would embarrass Mr. Ohmura, right?"

"If I sent him to a hotel, people might misunderstand, right?"

"Leaving him on the street could lead to accidents, right?"

"After much thought, Shuichi, you're our mutual friend, and there's enough space here, so I brought him over."

Ito Shuichi's teeth hurt: "You could have let him sleep in your car."

Eiichi Naganuma said confidently: "I just bought a new sports car, I can't bear to!"

The reason was very sufficient.

...

It had been quite a few days since Ito Shuichi had been here, and the studio was surprisingly quiet.

"Shuichi, is GG finished?"

"Not yet!"

Eiichi Naganuma was a bit puzzled: "It's been almost a week, why hasn't it ended yet?"

It's just a GG, it could be finished in a day if done quickly.

"The chemistry between the lead actors hasn't been right, and both have other commitments, so their schedules don't align~"

"Haha, didn't you let them go on a date?" Eiichi Naganuma recalled a previous experience.

"If Johnny's found out I encouraged their idols to fall in love, the yakuza would come knocking!" Ito Shuichi joked about Johnny's dark background.

"Ha ha ha~" Eiichi Naganuma also laughed, seeing that the set was already prepared, "So, are you shooting today?"

"Yes, finally both have free time in the afternoon, hoping to finish today."

Eiichi Naganuma had nothing to do and planned to wait for Ohmura to wake up to continue discussing the girl group, so he decided to stay and watch.

Ito Shuichi said it was fine and went to greet the staff.

When the lead actors arrived, the actual shooting began. At this point, Eiichi Naganuma, of course, did not disturb the shooting on set but stood far behind the scenes.

Ito Shuichi was NGing again, and Masaharu Kondo was complaining again. The female lead was unfamiliar, but she looked very cute...

Watching the live shooting from the sidelines was indeed very interesting.

...

After one or two hours, Ohmura had sobered up and was puzzled about why he was in the studio.

"Mr. Ohmura, you're finally awake~" Eiichi Naganuma poured a glass of water, "Do you remember what we were talking about before?"

"Sorry, Mr. Naganuma, I was so impulsive to call you." Ohmura seemed to have sobered up, "But what we talked about is a bit fuzzy, something about Starlight..."

"Ha, you really forgot."

"It's about a girl group, a girl group!"

"Um, a female ensemble? Like 'Flower Trio'... and... Pink Lady?"

Even the words were the same, it seemed Ohmura was a fan of these two groups.

Eiichi Naganuma explained again: "No, not all members are high-quality idols, but a group of more than five idols.

Members can have flaws, but they also have their own highlights. The highlights of the group members combine to form the starlight of the entire idol group~"

"Mr. Naganuma, you mean to form an idol group with the artists of STARLIGHT agency?" Ohmura was surprised, "Would that attract people?"

"The image of a girl idol is too perfect, isn't it? Occasionally having a less-than-perfect idol group isn't a bad thing.

The artists of STARLIGHT agency, although each lacks the charm of an idol, a group of young girls with good looks and figures won't be disliked, right?"

Ohmura nodded, and Eiichi Naganuma continued:

"Although they have various shortcomings, their highlights will be more attractive against the backdrop of their flaws."

"Mr. Naganuma, such a girl group might face resistance, and there will be a lot of media criticism." Ohmura was a bit worried.

"Hey, in the current era of mainstream idols, such a girl group might not be well-received,

but Mr. Ohmura, your agency isn't well-known, right? Even criticism is a form of attention."

Haters are fans too~

Ohmura couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Mr. Naganuma, you really hit the nail on the head!"

Eiichi Naganuma said, "Once the attention builds up, whether it's releasing an album or producing a reality show, there are many directions for further development."

"Anyway, we haven't done anything bad, a group of cute girls won't be strongly resisted by everyone~"

Such a move is worthy of Mr. Naganuma.

Ohmura thought for a while and felt it was indeed feasible.

"Also, Mr. Ohmura, a characteristic of a girl group is that the members can be rotated.

You can even create an original girl group and use a hiring system, regularly injecting new blood to keep it vibrant and even create a legacy."

"An original girl group?"

Ohmura decided to give it a try.

...

...

During the break, Masaharu Kondo and Masahiro Matsuzawa said, "What is that guy doing here? Standing there watching for fun again..."

"Probably has something to do with Ito Shuichi." Matsuzawa was unsure.

"Annoying guy."

"Why do you dislike Eiichi Naganuma, Mr. Kondo?" From Matsuzawa's perspective, he had only met Eiichi Naganuma twice, and the first time they didn't interact much. He also didn't treat them rudely.

"That guy always acts superior, looking down on others, it's just annoying to look at."

Matsuzawa seemed to understand.

Jealousy?
