Free Talk: SB 下一站巨星 298

 Koga and others are all gathered to watch Kyouko shooting of Momiji scenes. That shows how amazing she is, that they would rather watch it LIVE rather than watch it on TV later on. From Koga’s smile, it seems like he was somewhat proud of Kyouko.


Hehe, Yuki is really training Leo well. Yes, he won’t respond to you if you are calling him a name which he doesn’t want to be called. =P Jouji apparently doesn’t want to get involved in their antics. Interesting that he’ll have that reaction since it is the first time he saw Yuki with Leo.

Or perhaps, he already knew it because of the cosplay = weirdo that they even have to put up a partition to keep Leo’s presence hidden from everyone else. Actually, perhaps, that is good for Kyouko after all, she might go fangirling over ‘Tuxedo Mask’ = prince.

゜*☆○o。..:*・(*´-ω)(ω-`*)・*:..。o○☆*゚

The scene is a confrontation between Momiji vs Kamaitachi + minions. Totally unfair especially against a girl. It shows a lot about the kind of person Kamaitachi is. And perhaps, he knew how good Momiji is that he won’t dare fight her one on one.

Well, it is revealed at the end that it is so that he has to resort to a gun to defeat Momiji. Hehe, maybe Momiji is the type who can still kill the opponent even if she got shot twice. Hm...if not, so they’re shooting the ending scene/death scene of Momiji?

゜*☆○o。..:*・(*´-ω)(ω-`*)・*:..。o○☆*゚

Everyone is impressed especially Leo with that smile. He even wants Yuki to lend Kyouko to him. The issue is Yuki said that Leo’s side is full. But Leo said, ‘at this time’ so I guess he’ll remove someone from his side to make room for Kyouko. Another option is make a role especially for Kyouko in the project but then, it will cause a delay.

Too bad for that person and well, it might cause trouble for Kyouko later on if that person found out who replaced her. The ‘invitations’ aren’t contracts, right? I think it is safe to say that this PR is an action flick. Ren and Kanae’s ‘auditions’ are action-related and so does, this one.

゜*☆○o。..:*・(*´-ω)(ω-`*)・*:..。o○☆*゚

Now, if all three would be in a single project. I’m really starting to think that this would be the last one drama/film project for the series. I mean, what else can top that. And, Cedric is also in it. They’ll probably film scenes in the US. This would be Kyouko’s ticket/reason to go to the US.

And, I think the big reveal regarding Ren’s identity and past will also happen in this arc/project.

  2. Hi Kat,

    Thanks again for the summary ^^

    I thought so too, it feels like sensei wants to get to the ending and is planning to finish the story. I also think that all 3 will be in it and I think the PR arc will probably resolve all Kuon's trauma and guilt that he felt for Rick's death and also matters with Cedric. I also think that there is a high chance that he will take time off to go home to his parents as he promised them in the video ^^

    Oh, and he will most likely appear as Korn in front of Kyouko and tell her his life story and introduce her to his parents. OMG I am so excited. I think Kyouko might get the newcomer award in Japan for her role as Momiji which will boost her acting.

    1. Thanks for reading ^-^

      Yup. So, it makes me wonder, will Shou still show up? Or, that is considered 'solved'?

      Indeed ^^

    2. Probably, he doesn't want to give Kyouko up right? the Beagle too, he is going to show up sometime

    3. Yes. I just wonder how both will 'get back' into the story. ^^

  4. Ah nice summary as always Kat ^^. I came here after reading a translated version so much of this isn't new for me, though the kamaitachi part was. I was under impression that her opponent took her as kamaitachi (he was her father iirc, Kyouko said that as part of her dialog during the audition).

    Anyway, Route is such a big Project and at least from Ren's audition, it doesn't show that he is going to be given any fixed role. I won't rule out that Leonard would kick someone out for Kyouko, but I think, it would just cause unnecessary sub plot, especially if Route is going to be the final Project. It remains to be seen if he would kick Kanae out, though I feel how significant Leonard would take a change in his plan would play the major factor in the end. I mean, Lorry was also kinda improvising when he put Kyouko as BJ's sister.

    1. Thanks for reading, Junior ^-^

      Hehe, I forgot already...I don't usually pay attention to the drama storylines because iirc, the endings weren't shown. ^^;

      Ah, because Ren has no speaking part? Oh, I suddenly wondered of the possibility for Ren and Kyouko to be a 'team' since they are 'admired?' for their action scenes. ^^

      True. Haha, do you think that it might be Kimiko? She's the other one on my mind if it won't be Kanae. I still think that there will be a payback from Kyouko for what she did before.

      Yes. I think it is the 'way' for Kyouko to also go to the US.

    2. Kamaitachi being Momiji's father was mentioned at ch 244 (Kyouko vs Kuresaki at audition).

      haha like a couple in Route? that would be dope.

      Doesn't Kimiko retire already? Ah maybe it's just about Japan career that Koenji was concerned about. I don't have no idea on this. Tbh, at the very beginning, I felt like Kimiko was a character added to progress Ren and Kyouko's relationship. So you think she has more part to play in the story, it's interesting. I also felt it is kinda a waste if her story end with Momiji audition. But Kyouko is surely more than prepared to deal with her now? And so is Ren. Though it will be interesting to see what she will do if she were to find out that Ren is Kuon and/ or his conflict with Cedric.

      After 2 invitations from her parent-in-law-to-be, I can only imagine that she would go sooner or later, but I don't mind if it happens because of Route lol. I really can't wait to see her reaction when she found out who Kuon is :D

    3. Ah yes, I think it is like a 'title' that is passed on to the 'heir' of their ninja arts. Kind of like hokage if you are familiar with Naruto.

      Yup. Something like in her previous series -- that couple. I think this author is really good in action scenes ^^

      I think only in Japan. She can still pursue it in US, right? I mean, the deal was only in Japan. Yes, I think she still has a part. After all, wasn't it mentioned that, iirc Cedric is her real crush? I'm thinking that maybe it would be like good couple vs evil couple? hehe Assuming PR is about rivaling two kingdoms/factions.

      Yes. In previous arc, Kyouko usually deals with the 'bully' herself but it was odd why during the audition, someone else dealt with her.

      True...and I guess it would depend on the situation like when and where she will find out about it. During shooting? Outside? How will she learn it? Ideally, well, as they say, it is best that she learns it from Ren himself rather than from someone else.

      Yup. Lol, just had a thought, what do you think of the possibility of them inviting her to their house to stay during the shooting? ^^ That is, if the shooting is near the place. That would be fun. Ah, but then, didn't the mother lied about her name? ^^; Really hope that the big reveal won't be a letdown or lead to unnecessary drama ^^

    4. yeah, Koenji said about Kimiko's eyeing Cedric. Knowing her, perhaps she has already built some ambiguous relationship with him already lol. I think they won't be a real couple, but rather partner in crime kind of relationship.

      I'm not sure about Kuu/ Sarah inviting Kyouko over, unless Kuon has been revealed. Kuu did say she could visit though, so if Kyouko is the one who took the initiative, it may still happen.. I don't know. Much of this has to do with Ren's background story as Kuon and given how they tried to hide it form the world, I doubt they would easily reveal it to Kyouko (that Ren is Kuon).

      It could potentially lead to a drama, especially since it may shake Kyouko's belief in Fairy World lol. Also that would mean Ren has been deceiving her all this time, and given her history with Shou, it might be quite a blow for her. But I still think they will come together at the end. I hope so. Cause Kyouko has also something that she hide from Ren (which is Bo) and they are even in that regard.

    5. Yes, Junior. It is like what you mentioned...not as a romantic couple. Hehe, that is because I think Cedric would think too highly of himself and perhaps, if he saw Kimiko's social page and that Ren part, he might not want to be 'second choice' even if it is fake.

      I think it is more possible for them to invite her rather than for her to ask if she can live with either one <- since she didn't know they live together. Yes, they won't reveal it to Kyouko and I don't think they know that Kyouko knows Kuon. I'm thinking more on...if she ever goes to their house, she might see a picture or something on Kuon then connect the dots.

      Actually, I'm entertaining that thought because at least, we can see some more interactions between her and his parents together. Usually, when a series is ending like last few chapters, that kind of scenarios are no longer drawn/written in or just touched on briefly like just one drawing of happy family.

      True. Hehe, I wonder if saying that it is all 'metaphor' and Kyouko can imagine the 'kingdom' and stuff as Corn described it, things will work out more easily. After all, acting is also 'make believe'. Hehe, she can imagine herself like how she did when they were in Guam. ^^ Or, maybe it can be like, ah no wonder Ren is always helping me, he is actually Corn. Oh well, let's just wait and see.

    6. Ah I don't mean that she would stay with them, but that she could ask to visit or something.

      Haha, I see. Actually I'd love to see the family in a feast or something along with Saena-san as well. Well there are many things we hope to see from SB. I just hope the author would give us plenty of epilogue when the main plot is finished :D

      Anyhow, unless Kyouko somehow short-circuited when she saw Kuon's photograph, she should be able to put two-and-two together and guess that 1. Kuon is Corn. 2. Kuu is Corn's father. and 3. (in a very unlike Kyouko scenario) Kuon is Ren. I think this will 100% happen if Kyouko were to visit/ stay with them, because as you said, they didn't know that Kyouko knows Kuon.

      I honestly can't imagine how her reaction could be, but I guess you're right in that Kyouko must have felt that Ren has been very supportive in her career. Though I feel, since Ren actually confessed to Kyouko before he revealed that he is actually Corn, I think their relationship must endure at least one final conflict before they truly come together.

      Anyway, I'm not a Shoujo series expert, so much of this come from my limited imagination anyway lol. Like you said, let's just wait and enjoy the series ^^

    7. Ah, I see. ^^

      Yup ^^

      True. I hope it would be an amazing scene but then, I get a feeling that the author couldn't resist putting that in a cliffhanger. 😅

      Indeed ^^
