Hi! It’s me! Lily!!!
One of the girls’ surprises (well, the ones that are here in Austin, anyway) is tomorrow!! I didn’t tell them what is was but I told them to let their parents know they’d be staying over tomorrow!!!
They’re really curious now. They’re almost begging me to tell them but I just shook my head. I told them to wear some cute clothes, though. You know, the kind you’d go to the ma… oops. Haha!!!
Go to the manucurist! That’s what I mean!!! Hahaha!!!
Well, if they read this, then they deserve that hint.
Anyway, today I went to see the conductor. He says he thinks I’m coming along okay, but I have a lot of work to do. That’s okay, I knew that. I’m still practicing a lot. He gave me some tips which were helpful. He’s not a concert pianist or anything but he’s seen things, and he knows where pianists have problems with this piece.
I told him I went to Japan to be in an idol video, and he asked, “what’s an idol?” So I showed him some of the after-school friends idol light music club, and he just shook his head. “Well, at least they’re cute,” he said. They are. But I see his point. They’re not exactly intended to be talented. If they’re too talented then they seem unapproachable.
I hope that works out for Minami. I think it will. Maybe not as a member of that group, but the smart ones know that it’s only a springboard. There was this ruckus I heard about in Japan a few years ago where two idols were arguing – one really loved her group, and the other one just saw it as a springboard to bigger and better things. The one who loved her group was offended when the other one said something pragmatic. But the pragmatic one had the right of it, I think. You do what you need until it’s not useful anymore, and then move on. I think Minami has that attitude, too. Especially after Yuki’s talk…
Anyway, the girls are here, and they’ve started a coordinated front to try to extract the secret from me, so

That argument really happened. It was between Michishige Sayumi and Koharu Kusumi, both from Morning Musume. Koharu went on a talk show with a famous talk show host/comedian and pretty much got kicked out for being rude. I personally, like Lily, think Koharu had the right side of the argument – loyalty is not for an employer.
But that’s also not a very Japanese way of looking at it, and she was being rude in other ways, so… from that vein, Michishige’s offense was at least expected.
Considering one former member of that group was just arrested for DUI (a very serious crime in Japan), idoling is not all flowers and sunshine, is it?
