Question: What year do you want the ending to be in?
After thinking about it for a while, I decided that the male protagonist would debut as an artist when he was 20 years old.
The protagonist was deeply touched by the candid conversations he had with the members of Nogizaka in Korea, and the friends he met and met during this period who were working hard to become artists.
(The cruel trainee training in South Korea has changed his perception of idols a little bit. The differences between the idols of the two countries are different from the inside out.)
Then he said to the people around him, "I want to see what the showbiz world is like that makes Sakura nostalgic."
"After becoming an artist, I will try my best to treat it as my favorite career and try every field.
But...when I realize that I can no longer improve in this circle, I will choose to retire and become an ordinary person."
The members of Nogizaka are very supportive, "If you want to do it, just do it. Even if you do something that you would never do before, everyone will support it."
Then, the protagonist sets a five-year deadline for himself?
I think five years of watching the entertainment industry is enough and I want to retire at my peak.
In short, I will not always be an artist, I will have a purpose from beginning to end.
There are two endings originally thought of for this book. One is suicide. Bunchun exposed the unsubstantiated scandal between Sakura and the singer senior, which made the protagonist commit suicide due to great stimulation. Sakura sadly quit 48 amid the public criticism, and emigrated overseas and completely disappeared from the public.
Vision.
Later extra plot: A year later, Nako accidentally gained the ability to go back to the past, and traveled back to before the protagonist left the circle. Nako from the future guided the Nako from the past to successfully rise to the top, and the story came to an end.
In the second ending, the male protagonist sees through the nature of the entertainment industry and the glamor of idols, retires at his peak, and becomes the male version of Yamaguchi Momoe.
Back in Kyoto, walking on the light rail line where I kissed Sakura for the first time, a person appeared in front of me.
"What are your plans next after you become a normal person again?"
"I don't know, maybe I need to take a break first. After falling from heaven to earth, even if I have no nostalgia for anything about being an artist, maybe I will start from scratch, for example, find an ordinary and stable job first."
"Besides these? The hope for love?"
"Is this it? Am I still qualified to have him? It seems that because of my persistence back then, too many people spent an unworthy wait for me..."
"But you still have expectations, right? For example, I..."
"I... don't deny it."
"Really, then, can you listen to what I have to say now?"
"What words?"
"Please... marry me, Taki-san."
This person is the ultimate heroine.
So, which year do you want the ending timeline to be, 18, 20, 22?
