Vil  |
Gather around once you’re done with your warm-ups. We’ve finally finished the song we will use for the Vocal & Dance Championship. | |
Jamil  |
Finished? Does this mean that it will be an original song? How extra considering it’s just a school competition. | |
Vil |
The VDC has been using original songs for the past few years now. The Vocal & Dance Championship is not a beauty pageant nor is it a fashion show. The criteria for the VDC revolves around singing prowess and dancing talent as well as whether you suit the song you chose perfectly. | |
Deuce  |
A fitting song… That is quite complicated. How does it work exactly? | |
Vil |
Just like how you suit a certain type of clothing, if your group doesn’t exactly fit the song you chose for yourselves, it will be lead to a point deduction. Take this for example. How would you feel if a group of primary schoolers sang old blues or heavy metal? No matter how good their performance is, their overall appearance would just be disorienting. In order to captivate the audience, we need to make sure the song matches us very well. | |
Jamil |
Oh, that’s right. The finalists will be decided right on stage this year, correct? | |
Vil |
Precisely. Everyone in the audience will be voting. The audience, the participants, and even the staff have the right to vote a group that they think has a chance of winning. | |
Kalim  |
Even the participants? Won’t they just be voting for themselves though? I mean, everyone likes to think that they’re the best, you know…? | |
Vil |
For an amateur, maybe. However… As long as there is someone you deem more worthy, there is always a chance that you will not vote for yourself. You’ll know as soon as you see them that you can never compete. When that happens, no matter how much you lie to yourself, you’ll realize that you were never even a threat. | |
Jamil |
Well, that’s… I think I can relate a little. | |
Epel  |
Lying to yourself… | |
Vil |
Which is why I try to do my best to give a show that I can always be proud of. And the original song is just another factor. | |
Rook  |
Seeing your ever so determined visage is truly a sight to behold! You are dazzling, Vil. Can we listen to the song now, too? | |
Vil |
Of course. Manager, please play the song for us. | |
| Choice 1: Manager? | Choice 2: Are you talking to me? | |
Vil |
Who else is there? Didn’t the Headmaster ask you to support us? If you want to get paid, then work yourself to the bone for us, too. | |
| Choice 1: Understood. | Choice 2: I’m doing all this just for the renovations, huh… | |
| (push) | ||
Ace  |
Whoa…! That sounds so legit, dude! | |
Kalim |
I like it! The rhythm’s very cool! | |
Jamil |
Is the genre classified as electro pop, then? And if we’re going to dance to it, then… Avant hip-hop should—No, hip-hop and something jazzy will be okay, too… | |
Vil |
We’ll use avant hip-hop as a base, but I was thinking of maybe adding in some jazz or break-dancing as well. There will be three main vocalists. I would like the other members to focus on the chorus and on the dancing. | |
Kalim |
Eh? I thought we’d all be singing. | |
Vil |
If we don’t pace it out very well, it would only be classified as noise… And having all seven of us match pitch will be quite difficult. Which is why I want us all to focus on what we’re good at instead. | |
Deuce |
I-I’m getting a little lost… I can’t follow… | |
Grim  |
Me, too. | |
