Kaoru happily hugs his guitar. He quickly exclaims for
Shinya that part just now, play that again, one more time, and they play
together. Shinya sighs over how many times he had already said, ‘one more time’.
Shun tells Kaoru that he’s still quite persistent and tells Shinya to be aware of
that [Kaoru is persistent]. Teppei says that he also want to do it one more
time. Somewhat flustered Aki can only look on as the band happily prepare to
play again. Soichiro is looking at Aki. Meanwhile at school, it seems to be a
break as the students are chatting and doing their own thing in class. Reiko is
writing on her notebook. Then, her cellphone rings. She looks at her tweets
urging people to stop Mushroom from going onstage and she’s so annoying. Reiko
smiles because a certain mimikanano mentioned that she’ll re-tweet this. Reiko slyly
glances at happy Riko who is tapping her fingers on the table and feet on the
floor while listening to Aki’s song. There are more tweets from other people
agreeing to re-tweet Reiko’s tweet. Reiko smiles more. Just then, Riko looks at
Reiko’s direction and is surprised at how Reiko is looking at her. Reiko’s
smile freezes and she quickly turns away. Puzzled Riko watches Reiko busily
writing with her bunny pen. After school dismissal, at the light music club, Riko’s
co-members are delighted over the music that Aki made after listening to it.
They exclaim that it is awesome. Yuu asks what kind of music is that for it
made him really want to jump along and no matter it is the music of CP’s Aki. Sou
asks if they are going to perform at Budokan. Riko covers his mouth and
whispers that she was told that this is absolutely a secret so what would
happen if someone else knew. Sou says but then, indeed, they had been warned
and information leak has already happened twice. Riko listens to the music
again and tells them that it is really such an amazing song. Then, Sou gets a
message from Miwako.
At the studio, Soichiro shows to Aki a paper about the email
from a CP fan who complains that on this special day, she does not accept such
a bundle sale tactic by making Mush & Co perform. Shun checks the Twitter
to see [Reiko/love_cocoro] saying that obviously Mush & Co don’t have
onstage experience so they’ll just defile CP’s stage and really they don’t have
a sense of shame. The other CP fans twitter back about ‘not wanting to see that’,
‘not wanting to see that even if Mush & Co play backstage’ and ‘not wanting
to pay money to Mush’. Shinya checks Facebook and there is a page on ‘absolutely
do not let Mush go on CP’s stage’. At Office Takagi, Miwako asks Riko and the
others as to whom did they tell. Riko exclaims that they didn’t tell no one did.
Miwako says but last time, there is also an information leak from MS. Sou asks
if she doubts them. Flustered Miwako says that it isn’t like that. Holding her
ipad, she tells them that it seems that this person is the one who is spreading
the news and it seems that she is very influential among CP’s fans since her
followers surpass 1000. She shows them the Twitter page of love_cocoro. From
the profile picture, Riko looks at the bunny pen that love_cocoro uses while
writing Crue Play♡ on her notebook. Riko says that bunny is very cute.
Pointing at the twitter post, Yuu tells her that this isn’t the time to be
saying that. Sou deduces that since she uses that kind of notebook, could it be
that she’s a student. Riko recalls how Reiko is holding that same bunny pen and
creepily smiling back at her. Riko says speaking of that, it shouldn’t be
Terada, right? Back at the studio, Aki says that this thing doesn’t matter
because they’ll just be bowled over by Riko’s singing. To everyone’s surprise,
Shinya shouts for him not to say it that simple. “Can’t you still understand it?
That feeling of obviously not anticipated [by the audience/fans], but one must
go onstage to perform. *bites lips upon recalling how the fans hold up a long
banner ‘CP’s bassist is Aki!!’* I won’t allow Mush to go onstage. With this
kind of malicious upfront attack, I absolutely won’t allow her to stand
onstage!” Everyone is still surprised by Shinya’s outburst. Riko is still
reading the tweets of love_cocoro. And, the last scene is the Budokan.
Comment: It is
nice to see how Kaoru’s hard work with some help from Shinya has finally paid
off. To be praised by Soichiro who would actually let him play. It is really
something. I’m not sure though if his playing would just be recorded or he’ll
be playing LIVE. I guess Soichiro’s reason for not playing LIVE is because
Kaoru would be busy being lively and smiling that he couldn’t concentrate on
his playing. As he mentioned, that is okay in a Bar’s Live House but in a huge
stadium, performance is given the priority. This made me think of recent
concerts I’ve seen..well, rather glimpses of in the television/newspapers ^^;
on how grand current concerts are and had observed that there is more focus on
the show, gimmicks etc rather than the songs/music itself. It makes me recall
the publicity stunts that some singers are even trying to pull even if I
thought the song was already nice by itself. So aside from enjoying the music,
there is also that entertainment factor in major concerts. Except for the
drummer, in bands, I think members would jump up and down, and kept moving
around the huge stage so indeed, it would be hard to concentrate playing perfectly
especially if one isn’t ‘that good’ yet. Well, unless the fans are okay with
flawed playing/music performance. Nevertheless, this is a major progress for
Kaoru ^-^ Because of this, it seems that he had somewhat warm up to Shinya and
for a moment there, they are acting like a whole band. It does make me wonder
what Aki was thinking there..something like, ‘I should be with them’? And
finally, Reiko made an accidental slip up that has revealed her identity. It is
also thanks to Sou’s hint for Riko to give them a suspect. Honestly, Riko is
somewhat like an airhead to just say that the bunny pen is cute. ^^; And, it is
just within the day she just saw that same pen that Reiko was using. ^^;; Anyway,
I hope Sou can figure more things out and realize something about his
cellphone. And, lastly, Aki has a point and so does Shinya regarding making
Riko perform or not. As I’ve mentioned, they have contrasting views since the
other is ‘idealist’ = ‘everything will work out fine when Riko sings.’, while
the other is ‘realist’ = ‘yeah right, it didn’t happen when I’ve replaced Aki
in CP and I play better than him.’ I’m not too sure if what Aki is thinking
will happen. I mean would this zealous CP fans just keep quiet and listen or
they will make a ruckus like booing, etc, if this pushes through? Anyway, since
they are now close to figuring out about Reiko, I’m sure someone would have a
brilliant idea of ‘changing things’ to make this performance more palatable for
these fans. Maybe some other gimmick? I think they can still pull things off
like what they did during the MS tv show. If so, I’m curious how such things
are done in the music industry with this kind of situation – continue, scrap or
some sort of compromise/different way of dealing with this? Oh ya, maybe with
Shinya’s outburst, maybe the issue of ‘fitting or not fitting in with CP’ will
be brought up and hopefully resolved/addressed rather for things to keep on
like this. Well, for the sake of Shinya’s sanity. ^^; Scans by 红莲&wink炖蘑菇汉化组

Kat. I love Kanojo was Uso, but if there's one manga in this whole wide world that I'm afraid to read, it's this. But I read it, just the same. Mush is such an airhead, and without any backbone at all to fight. It makes me so frustrated to read her. She allows Aki's ex, Mari, to make her moves on Aki, doesn't confront Aki when she herself sees those two together, and now. Reiko. She will not survive the entertainment world, and that includes her relationship with Aki.
ReplyDeleteI hate that Shinya is againts her performing because of those nasty tweets. Maybe Shinya doesn't like Mush to be hurt. I don't know what will happen. this manga is so depressing, and the fact that we know Aki and Mush will break up in the future makes reading this even worse.
Hehe, is that so, megaworthit.
DeleteHm..I got the impression that Shinya doesn't want her to get hurt because of that flashback. He doesn't want to risk it and I'm not sure how many CP fans are against this but for them to be somewhat concerned about this..even Soichiro, I'm supposing that there is a huge amount of them. Shinya is the type of producer/manager who doesn't want to let a newbie experienced what he did and I think this time, it is more vicious than the one he experienced even if Aki doesn't consider themselves as some 'idol group'. So, I understand his objection.
Hm..maybe if Shun talks to the fans about it, would it pacify them? Or, would it makes fans angry that their wish for Mush to not appear has been ignored? Thinking that it is a duet type, I'm starting to doubt if they will boo or make a ruckus when Mush & Co perform. ^^;
Hehe, well, I'm not too bothered about that since I don't read this series for the love story anymore. ^^;
I;m reading this for the romance, definitely, and more importantly, how romance is going to survive in the entertainment world where stuff like this is so fleeting. But since I already know what's gonna happen, I just want to know how Mush is going to survive the onslaught of betrayals, right left, back center.... which is turning out to be quite an unpleasant prospect. In fact, I don't care for Aki anymore.... I'm watching out for the guy whom Mush will be with in the future. Would it be Shinya? Who is the guy who likes Mush for herself, and not for her talent ?
DeleteI see, megaworthit.
DeleteTrue, megaworthit..and she's just starting and she gets these much 'enemies'...thought being talked about helps a bit in terms of publicity.
Hehe, is that so.
Hm..I'm not too sure if Shinya likes her for herself but the one who fits that is Yuu.
Yuu could be it.... and maybe Shinya, too.... so far, there are more interactions between Shinya and Mush , rather than Yuu..... and on Chapter 47 ?, Mush tells Shinya not to leave her... and Shinya promises he won't.
DeleteI've already given up on Aki.
True..megaworthit. I think Shinya can be a very good boyfriend based on how he is acting towards Mush..and, quite protective of her.
DeleteI love this series and I think it has a touch more realism then most. Thanks for the hard work as always.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, it does have realism to it that I think the mangaka thoroughly researched and collaborated with the music industry for this one.
DeleteThanks for reading, TAP ^-^
thanks kat for your hard work *bow
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, intan ^-^
DeleteThanks Kat for your summaries once again.
ReplyDeleteRead a whole bunch of Kanojo wa Uso summaries and i highly anticipate the english translation. Does anyone know how far the translations are? Haven't kept track of it
Thanks for reading, Carina ^-^
DeleteChecking....English scanlation is at chapter 39.
Thanks for the summary! <3 Tika I really want to strangle Reiko....Well I did in my mind :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading, Tika ^-^
DeleteHehe..
