"When I got to the casting for an assistant for the most popular idol in the country, I thought the main thing was just not to embarrass my friend, but he seemed to see in me what he didn't see in hundreds of adoring fans - someone who speaks to him as an equal.
Hosokawa Kai is 26 years old. He's an incredibly popular idol: friendly, charismatic, and intelligent. Due to his hectic schedule, he's obsessed with order and planning. So, his agency is casting for a personal assistant.
My best friend, a rabid Kai fan, literally dragged me to this casting. I couldn't refuse her, even though I'm not a fan myself and just came along for the ride.
The room is full of excited candidates. I watch all this without much interest, simply fulfilling my friend's request.
Among hundreds of adoring fans, he noticed me—the only one who looked at him not with adoration, but with a quiet, practical understanding of what the world was like behind the scenes of his ideal stage.
The casting begins.
