Audition Info

Song: Keyakizaka46 - Getsuyoubi no Asa, Skirt wo Kirareta ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j89r0SNk9hs&index=1&list=PL0eK3gfF1BbPgpvZw8ZvlneUlMU3GDemi)

Coord: Monday Morning Coord (Silent Echo) (DA) (I'll post the link of the final version when it's done. Until then, you can follow the progress here. The performance is actually supposed to be an original song that appears in the story in which Erika is a main character, so it's not Getsuyoubi no Asa, Skirt wo Kirareta's dance move.)

Brand Info

Brand: Silent Echo (サイレント　エッコー)

Type: Cool

Style: The style sightly depends on the collection. In the current collection, it focuses on school uniforms mainly, but since the most famous coords of the brand are military-themed, people often joke that the current collection is inspired by Ansatsu Kyoshitsu, an anime in which the students are supposed to kill their alien teacher. The current collection is rather "Out of style".

Designer: Unknown for now.

Description: Stand still! Delivering hope, peace, dreams and wishes towards the audience, Silent Echo resonantes in everyone's hearts, even if no one outrightly speaks up. Being the voice of the hidden, the cool type brand that has taken on a completly new style in the world of idols is ready to perform - instead of fighting, war will be resolved with the power of songs, love and music.

Coord: Monday Morning Coord (モンディーモーニングコード)

Rarity: Normal

Appearance: Link

Roleplay

To the me of tomorrow,

today, we're allowed to try to convince the school of allowing us to use brands that aren't approved yet.

While I personally do not understand why the system is used, I'll try and perform wearing my Silent Echo coord.

Do you remember how I got it?

I participled in the audition for the newest Silent Echo collection's photo shots. I was the only one who wasn't wearing a Silent Echo coord. It was way so embrassing when I realized! Well, I had been too much focused onto practise to actually think about my coord...

It was a true miracle that I actually was chosen as a model, even if I was the last one and only had one shot. But I really like the coord, and I was allowed to keep it. I like Silent Echo, but I never got to buy a coord of the brand before. This one is definitly precious to me. It's called "Monday Morning Coord" and looks like a school uniform. It reminds me of the Dreaming bird accident in the shopping mall...

Talking about the Dreaming bird accident, did I even tell you? I passed the audition! I was SO surprised. I really didn't expect to be choosen, but I was! First the entrance exam miracle, and now the casting. It kind of feels too easy, to be honest. What do people say again? Those who fly high, fall deeper? I don't remember...

Along me, three other girls were chosen for the two perfumes. I think that all are students of the Aura Academy. Some are first year students, some are second year students.

Natsuno Mizuki-senpai and Suitaka Nanami won the Ocean Spray part, and Shijiru Ren-senpai won alongside me. Honestly, I had been way to nervous to look at the other performances, but I looked up the videos later on. My personal favourite is Shijiru-senpai - excluding myself. To be honest, I am very proud onto my outfit, but then again, I think that Shijiru-senpai's coord is a bit stronger than mine. I think that while Shijiru-senpai and I were going into different directions, we both had a strong image point. I also looked at the Ocean Spray audition, and I am not sure if the rules were perfectly fit. After looking through the coord library in school, I realized that I am sure that expanding the theme rage to "ocean-related" would have been better. I don't really get a ocean feeling from the majority of coords. I really liked Kisekino Natsumi-senpai and Natsuno Mizuki-senpai's coords though. They remind me of a book, I read and of countries far away~ I wanna go on holidays now...

But nope!

I've got work to do! Since my coord was rather easy to decide, my big problem was a song. I have been listening to Getsuyoubi no Asa, Skirt wo kirareta a lot lately, but I don't think that I can perform the song alone. But since we weren't given any guidelines towards the songs, I had a wilde range!

Well, in the end, I decided to use Getsuyoubi no Asa, Skirt wo kirareta. Even the title fits - On monday morning, my skirt was cut. However, I changed a few parts of the choreography, so I could perform them alone.

Getsuyoubi no Asa, Skirt wo Kirareta is about someone who doesn't feel accepted by the society. The person doesn't want to play along with the world's rules, doesn't want to go to school since the person doesn't see a reason to do so but at the same time, the person has no energy to rebel against it; everything was taken away by the world already.

While I don't feel like that, I like the message behind. I think that if someone is bullied, just ignoring the bullies and not using energy to face them and "rebel" against them is a better idea. Someday, they will realize that the person isn't a possible goal anymore.

Plus, the song fits to the outfit. It's not about someone "special" since everyone could be the "I". The coord isn't special at all - some might see it as boring, but that's its charme. I love it. Someone jokly compared it to Ansatsu Kyoshitsu, an anime in which the students are supposed to kill their alien teacher. Well, maybe, it's actually that and not just a school uniform.

I hope that I am able to deliver those thoughts to the audience, even if my main goal is to gain the permission to use Silent Echo.

See you tomorrow.

Looking up from her laptop's screen, Erika sighed. She shortly read the text, thinking whenever it was a good idea to post it. She wasn't sure, so her only option was to copy and paste it into an e-mail, add a little message and ask her brother.

"Is that ok?" The short message said.

Luckily, it didn't take much time for the young girl to receive an answer. Her brother had mailed her one word; "Yes."

She closed her e-mail program and her laptop. The curtains of her room in Aura Academy's dorms were closed, but a little light was coming through. Erika stroke through her hair. "I miss you..." She whispered before looking to a small brown book. She sighed again, this time less obvious.

Laying back on her chair, she pushed herself into the center of the room. The twelve years old child in her won, and she started turning around herself and giggled. However, she stopped to open the curtain and look outside. Since Erika hadn't really found any friends yet in school, she was envious when she noticed the students who were sitting together as friends.

Someone knocked at the door.

(Feel free to just comment that your character knocked at the door and wants something~!)
