Phew... What a day!
Let me tell you, that Lanzhu sure knows how to have a good time.
I'm so glad that things happened the way they did and that we became friends.
Not just friends but Producer and Idol.
After a day of thrill rides at Destinyland, we settled for a relaxing pancake dinner at the Shinoda Family Diner.
We got to discussing Mia's recent live show and how it would be incredible if Lanzhu could hold one herself.
After some arrangements, the show was scheduled, and using Lanzhu's rebuilt confidence, we were able to write a new song together.
When she performs that, it will be a game changer in the school idol scene. Nobody will forget the confidence of Lanzhu Zhong.
Nobody!
Even so, if she's dropping her bombshell on this industry, what about me?
What do I have to show every school idol and fan that I'm confident in what I do?
It's clear to me that I have to drop the bombshell because it's going to change everything.
I made the historic announcement with just a single click of a button on the School Idol Fansite.
The School Idol Festival's Main Stage will be contested at the Tokyo Dome!
LET'S GO!
