New Interest

-Kasumi-

It’s kind of complicated to say the least. I guess I could say it was his music. Yes, that’s it. It was his music.

I will start there.

It was after out labels merged together. Mai wasn’t happy when that happened. We weren’t either, but not as much as her. I saw it as a way to take our music better. I tried to keep the peace.

I met him on day three. He had just walked out of the recording booth. I was about to go inside. We nearly bumped into each other.

“Oh! I’m so sorry!” I said. He chuckled at me.

“My bad,” he said. I couldn’t stop staring. Now, I had heard the stories about his wild reputation. I hadn’t expected him to be so hot. So much older than me too. (Okay, not that much. He’s in his twenties. About twenty-four or twenty-five.) Tokuma gave me a funny look.

“You feeling okay?” he asked. I quickly shook my head.

“Yeah!” I yelped. I turned and ran down the hall. I though that was the end of that.

You should hear him play.

His playing. Did he sell his soul to the devil or something? How can bass sound like it came from Heaven? I remember when I first heard him play. I think I left something in the recording booth. Oh, I know what it was! I left my phone in the booth. I thought it was going to take a couple of minutes. However…

I got sidetracked.

Yeah.

Those notes. I felt like I was falling into a trance. I stepped closer to the door. How could I compete with such music? I felt so many emotions that day. I just… I just can’t explain it. I had to hear more.

Since then, I can’t get Tokuma out of my head. Now, I don’t know what to do. I like Hideki, but I like Tokuma too. This festival has given me many chances in more ways than one. I just have to take them.

I can do this. Wish me luck.
