parasitegirlNo one said it would be easy, they just said we’d be on TV dancing for some idol.
I’m gaijin #1, I’m writing this so I get to be #1, that’s how it works. When we last talked gaijin #2 couldn’t do the show, #3 (with the strongest language skills) was in charge of English/Japanese communications with TBS Japan and #4 was in charge of dance and choreography (and still nowhere to be seen, but we have communicated via emails.)
On Monday the network will choose the one or two songs and #4 will get cracking on the choreography.
#3 has mentioned that she’s not very good at getting her ass out of bed and has invited us to sleep over at her place which is closer to the filming locations where we have to be in costume and make-up by 7:30 (preferable arriving at said location at 6:30) I’m game and will go but #4 can’t and will not be able to make it to the location until 7:00.
We had agreed to do a costume fitting Wednesday night in Shibuya. Now TBS wants to do costumed rehearsal on Wednesday night at a Tokyo location (Akasaka) and is willing to pay cab fare if it runs late past train time (this is no small feat as cab fare for me from Tokyo is well over 100$) and it seems a replacement gaijin has also been hired.
#4, who is in charge, will only do the Shibuya fitting agreed upon instead of doing a fitting and run through at Akasaka. She’s mentioned that if this is a problem and it means she can’t dance, then so be it…but this puts us in a bad place as our teacher, who was very adamant about us being under her control, will no doubt be pissed if the two of us agree to do something that puts #4 in the position of being ousted…So it looks like #3 and I will have to agree to the same things when god knows I fucking want a rehearsal before the camera rehearsal that day.
….and what of the mystery replacement gaijin?
