Hi! It’s me1 Lily!!!
Okay, I failed. I failed hard. But in the end it doesn’t matter, I’m still gonna get my sisters back for what they did on that train in Japan. So hah.
I failed because I can’t keep this a secret anymore. There’s too many moving parts and I’m getting a lot of pushback. So I set up a group call and told everyone what I’m planning.
And, well… actually, it’s turning out better this way.
So here’s the surprise. Anime Matsuri is in Houston in August, and Miki’s idol group are the guests of honor. And there’s going to be a performance of “Don’t embarrass your older sister on the train”. And… all of the girls who were in the original video (read: all my sisters) are invited to come and dance in a performance.
It’s turning out better because now these girls are running around frantically and getting nervous and wondering how the heck they’re going to learn all these dance steps… and they have to do it because their parents know and they’re not going to let them get away with not going. Haha!!! But as I said earlier – the point isn’t really to embarrass them. I’m working with Miki to make sure they have a choreography they can do, and Miki’s group is coming over a couple of days earlier so we can all go to Houston and train with their choreographer so we won’t make a complete mess of it. They’re being taken around Houston for a couple of days after the festival, but before, it’s all business. And we’re a part of that business! Haha!!!
And they get a little stipend too. Nothing big, enough for a nice meal. And some “After-school friends idol light music club” merch.
Basically, they need to put on their school uniforms (bet they regret getting those now, haha) and their multicolored wigs and do a few dance steps while the idol group sings and dances around them. Nothing really fancy. I mean, they’re not pros and we all know it. But Yuki’s in on it too and she’ll help teach them.
Nothing like dancing around on stage in front of a few thousand otaku. But it’s alright. I bet they get a great reception. The video is popular.
Anyway…
Some of the neighbors are out popping fireworks. I want to go look.
Love you all!!! ❤️
From the creator:
I wanted to keep it a secret but unfortunately as Lily said, there were too many moving parts and I was unable. But that’s alright, this should work out as well.
Remember: All events that actually exist are fictionalized. They only share the name and maybe the location and a few other minor things. Everything else is my imagination and bears no resemblance to the actual event.
Which is good for them, tbh, because I generally have nothing good to say about them, personally. But Lily loves them.
