Chapter 44

Yoshimura Daikun had been running around these past few days,

selecting "artists," contacting programs, and dealing with the program directors of the TV station,

as well as registering the shell company GIRL'S GROUP as the president,

and he had lost a significant amount of weight in just one week.

And the vice president and producer, Ido Shuichi, finally completed the GG,

and began to invest his efforts in a brief idol training for these artists, choreographing dances, and selecting and crafting their images.

Although he had previously been a director, directors of this era were all versatile, basically capable of a bit of everything, and simple choreography was not a problem.

And the representative director of the shell company, Nagayama Naoki,

apart from designing the cat ear hair accessories, had nothing else to do, just occasionally watching the girl group's dance in the studio and giving his opinion.

"Shuichi-san, don't make the costumes so revealing, tight leather outfits won't do!"

"Shuichi-san, the choreography can't be too suggestive, we are an idol group after all!"

"Shuichi-san, there's a not-so-obvious line between sexy and suggestive, be careful not to cross it!"

"Can't you do it, Naoki, Nagayama?"

Ido Shuichi finally couldn't hold back, causing the staff on the scene to laugh.

Nagayama Naoki finally got his revenge for the 50 consecutive NGs!

In the end, it was decided to appear on a Friday night, in the 10 PM slot of a late-night program.

Yoshimura Daikun's efforts paid off, as he managed to secure an appearance on such a popular program, apparently by exchanging resources from other programs for this one.

Before the final program, CATS had five final members: Daiko Mihina, the face of the group; Akiyama Hisa, the sexy member; Katagiri Ayano, the dance member; Fukuhara Ayano, the cute member; and Nonaka Saka, the singing member.

......

......

After a busy day, Yamaguchi Ryoki finally waited for the night to come.

After having a little drink with his boss, he returned to his small apartment, finally getting his own rest time.

It was already very late, and there weren't many programs left after turning on the TV, but the popular "Night's HIT STUDIO" was still airing.

With the host's introduction:

"Let's welcome CATS!"

Yamaguchi Ryoki saw five beautiful young girls step from the backstage to the front, moving to the rhythm of the music.

They wore black or white cat ear hair accessories, with black and white striped Lolita-style dance clothes, and long, slender, fair arms extended from the lace collars, their hands hidden in white cat paw gloves.

Below, they wore frilly short skirts that barely covered their thighs, and black thigh-high stockings that just covered their knees, revealing glimpses of skin.

To the background dance music, the five girls performed a neat and cute cat dance, embodying either sexy, charming, or youthful vitality to the rhythm of the music.

The cat ear hair accessories on their heads also swayed with the rhythm, like real cat ears.

After the dance, the five members posed with their paws up, meowing to the audience in front of the screen.

Yamaguchi Ryoki, in front of the TV, felt his heart being tickled.

"Wow!" Yamaguchi Ryoki touched his heart, feeling struck!

......

......

CATS performed a cat dance on the program, which lasted no more than 5 minutes but caught the attention of many people.

The next day, Fuji TV's ratings showed that CATS' performance had a peak rating of over 31%, almost on par with the ratings of other big-name stars appearing on the program.

The program's producer also thought this segment was excellent and planned to include it in the next few episodes, which made Yoshimura Daikun very happy.

"Naoki-san, can we consider CATS' debut a success?"

"This level is still not enough," Nagayama Naoki was not overly pleased.

In this era, TV ratings alone could only be considered a good start; countless artists had appeared on programs, but their popularity lasted only three minutes.

"Daikun-san, at least we need print media to write about it, whether positive or negative, to confirm that CATS has entered the idol industry."

"Should we contact magazines? We can also have our own photo magazines write about it."

"Haha, Daikun-san, we will definitely contact the media later, but for now, let's wait for it to ferment naturally~" Nagayama Naoki said, "Believe in CATS' charm."

......

The entertainment industry's reaction was indeed quick.

After three episodes, the name of the group CATS appeared in entertainment newspaper articles, discussing the differences between this new idol group and traditional idols, and calling it a betrayal of idols.

What truly made CATS famous was an article in "Weekly Bungei Shunju" titled "CATS? A Sexy Girl Group from Photo Magazines?"

It must be said that "Weekly Bungei Shunju" was very capable, finding all the photo magazines the CATS members had previously shot and investigating their backgrounds, then compiling the negative information to try to steer CATS towards a suggestive image.

"Naoki-san, as you predicted, it's Bungei Shunju, and it started with the negative information." Ido Shuichi, Yoshimura Daikun, and Nagayama Naoki sat in the office of the studio, looking at the few magazines and newspapers on the small table, with a sense of pointing out the direction of the country.

"Yes, Shuichi-san, but we are prepared, right?" Nagayama Naoki looked at the other side, "Daikun-san, it's time to act!"

They had already contacted people from Dentsu through the relationship with the president of STARLIGHT Agency, Hino Kenichi, and the report was already written.

And they had also commissioned an article from "Weekly Shincho," a rival of "Weekly Bungei Shunju."

Discussions about CATS in the newspapers began to increase: a betrayal of traditional idols? A new idol group? The next trend? What's different from previous groups?

Then, an article in "Weekly Shincho" titled "CATS! The Wild Cat Group Arrives!" detailed the members of CATS and their character traits.

And it stated the mission of GIRL'S GROUP: "Find the shining points in each girl!"

......

In the company, Yamaguchi Ryoki was taking a slight break.

He was flipping through a magazine with a large title: "CATS! The Wild Cat Group Arrives!"

"So, CATS is this kind of girl group. Akiyama Hisa is the sexy member? It fits her perfectly."

At this moment, his colleague, Akita Kazunori, looked over: "Ryoki-san, you know about the Wild Cat Group too?"

"Hey, I just saw it recently, it's very interesting, completely different from the usual serious idols."

"Yeah," Akita Kazunori agreed, "the youngest, Fukuhara Ayano, is really cute, no wonder she's the cute member!"

Yamaguchi Ryoki was surprised: "So, Akita Kazunori is a lolicon!"

"My sister at home really likes Katagiri Ayano's cat dance, she's always practicing it at home~ Ryoki-san, which member do you like?"

"Ah, I like Akiyama Hisa the most."

"Ha, so you like the sexy type, huh?"

CATS is such a girl group, everyone can like their own member!
