[WAAGAL - "Sirius"]

Now this piece was a bit more lowkey and chill so some were a bit disappointed, still the one man band aspect was a hit. Though you were focusing on playing, and you couldn't hear anything but the music thanks to the headphones, you knew people were in awe. And indeed they were, moving their head to the beat and whispering to each-other wondering how the hell you were managing to do all of that. Seeing the look of focus on your face, it was then most of them concluded that music really meant a lot to you, probably more than whatever war was going on right now.
It was then that Brody really got in your pocket, along with the Americans. After all, it's hard to trust someone when you can't see their face. Performing in front of them secured your place as 'the best musician around', 'the friendly and energetic radio host' and also the only source of entertainment in the continent. You already won them all over as soon as Brody accepted this 'test run'.

"I don't know how to sing."
"Mmh?" you turned to him.
You and him were back in your studio after your performance (a total hit, everybody loved it but who's surprised at this point?) and you were in the middle of putting the instruments and equipment back when he mumbled something.
"What was that?" you tilted your head.
"...I don't know how to sing." he repeated, averting your eyes.
It took you a second to realize he was referring to that time you asked him to get behind the mic at some point. You smiled.
"That's okay, I can teach you! Granted I'm not an expert myself but I got an idol as my vocal coach back in Japan."
"Really?"
"Yeah, Diva VX. We revived her when my vocal range couldn't reach certain songs." you chuckled.
"Wait, *the* Diva VX?"
You gasped. A fellow fan!
"Yes!"
The conversation than shifted to the idol and other things you were fan of. He talked about this guy called Alan Kahn and the stuff he did sounded super rad.


Eventually, as time passed, your show developed and of course it became *The* hot shit. You now had your own set up in the communication room instead of just borrowing whatever you needed. Oh boy was it great! You'd play a recreated song plus short tracks you've made on the side, an excuse to make your run-time even longer (before it was around five to ten minutes, now it was about an hour long), but again no one was complaining. In between, you'd talk podcast-style, and to spice it up, you'd sometimes have guests (your friends). Like right now there was Yo and Minami. Her experience as a journalist was a blessing for your show: asking questions she knew would only made the audience grow more sympathetic towards you (and you didn't even had to ask her!).
'Wow, she really knows what she's doing.' you thought. 'So that's what being a professional is like!'

"You said at some point that you would open requests so that people could listen to their favorite songs from the modern world." she said. "What are you going to do when one of those songs is from another culture, which *will* happen eventually? Are you still going to recreate it even if it would be, by modern day standards, insensitive?"
"Mmh, I'm actually putting those on the side right now." you said. "Like, I could record the lyrics since I know them by heart, but I know it's not my place to do that. So I'll just wait until someone that is...for lack of a better term, 'fit' to sing the songs shows up and I'll teach them. - I actually talked about this to Brody." you pointed at him with your thumb. "I told him 'yo when we get to rap, you're gonna have to sing' he was like 'why?' And I was like 'Because we don't know where Megan is'," you and Minami laughed.
"Megan Thee Stallion? Really?" Yo raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, bruh come on." you smiled. "I saw that XXL Freshmen Cypher video and I fell in love with her."
"Yeah I remember seeing it, but DaBaby clearly crushed everyone-"
"Dude no! Listen!"
"Woah!" Yo exclaimed before bursting out laughing.
"(Y/n) suddenly got close to Yo." Minami described the scene to the audience as you went on a tangent.

"That's not fair, like don't get me wrong, both of them were amazing. But DaBaby sang for *half* of the video!"
"Lots of hand gestures happening." she quietly said as Yo kept laughing at how into it you got.
"My girl Megan had to go after Lil Mozey who woke up like the man or whatever!" you and Yo laughed, knowing what you were talking about. "And she turned up the party in less than thirty seconds! Her flow was *flawless*, like no pauses, she came, spat fire, and boom she's gone! Like a spark dude!" you paused. "Like come on!"
Yo kept giggling.
"That was really intense (Y/n)," Minami spoke. "be careful to keep your cool when Miss Megan gets revived."
"I...make no promises."
"Woke up like the man or whatever." Yo finally managed to say, making you both laugh.
"It was so bad y'all!" you said, leaning back in your seat. "So bad the DJ actually put ad-libs to help him!" you wheezed.
"Wait! Really?!" Yo wheezed, leaning back too. "I didn't even notice!"
"It was that bad?" Minami asked.
"Oh my god yes - (Y/n)!" without looking, he pointed at you. "Take it away!"
You laughed. To be honest, the reason why Yo came on the show was because no one else was available and he's been begging to be a guest since your debut. But at it turns out, he wasn't that bad. Needless to say, people loved it.


"Kukukuku~!" Senku snickered to himself as he and the others listened to your radio show, an evil-looking smirk on his face. "She's making a lot of progress, so fast it's almost scary~!"
"Wh-What is he doing?" Luna asked, a bit disturbed by the dark energy coming from her crush and he mumbled to himself.
"Oh he's just being lovestruck," Gen waved his hand with a smile. "don't mind him."
"Lovestruck...? Is it her musical abilities?" she asked.
'I can learn how to play guitar!' she thought, determined.
Gen's smile widen.
"...Not entirely no."

Senku noticed Xeno looking at the radio and his smirk widen.
"She told you she'd do it!" he exclaimed with a smug look. "She got your little subjects wrapped around her pinky! In only a month of doing radio!" he finished with a cackle.
"Heh. I expected nothing less from her." he calmly smiled. "When I'm back, I'll be sure to let her keep her show."
"Kukuku, assuming you'll win!"
They smiled at each-other.
