This is a rewrite of my fic The Voice. I really wanted to extend the portion of time that Kyoko is in the dark about all of this. If you want to have an idea of how I see their house, the address for the place you can see a video of the residence: gravitas minamiazabu

Hope you enjoy

Prologue – The Idea

Mr. Kuon Hizuri.

That's what it says on every piece of mail that I receive these days. Mr. Kuon Hizuri living in a nice house in Minato, Tokyo. Mr. Kuon Hizuri, legendary actor in Japan as well as having some directorial and screenwriter credits married to multiple award-winning actress, Kyoko Hizuri. Mr. Kuon Hizuri who is known for playing piano in movies, who is known for his stunning charisma, who is twenty-six years old and extremely bored.

Even as I stand in our welcoming living room which has small figurines of princess inspired figures, fashionable vases with flowers in them, bookcases filled with scripts. Even as I stand here, I feel empty. I stretch back, and take a deep breath in to steady myself, to settle myself, I'm bored.

When I was younger my mind was fully directed towards my one goal, going to America and becoming a Hollywood actor. I didn't care about anything else but pursuing my dream and fulfilling my vision and then she came along and everything changed. America definitely didn't seem that important anymore. Hollywood was inconsequential compared to her. I started focusing on my girlfriend who became my fiancée who became my wife.

I forgot how exciting it can get to challenge yourself and learn something new. I forgot that excitement when you're thinking about all that you could possibly do in the world and I need something to direct my attention towards or otherwise I'm going to get stuck in that mind game or whether I am Kuon Hizuri or whether I am Ren Tsuruga.

Or, my eyes catch onto a piece of paper that I must have very mistakenly picked up.

Men's Audition for LME, no Age Limit.

I freeze, maybe I could play my hand at being somebody else. If I did my own makeup then I could probably fool the president and it would give me a chance to test my hand at singing, at something different. I grin to myself. This could work, this could work extremely well and would be a lot of fun.

A singing idol.

I just have to create a persona to apply for this thing and then I can get my debut as an artist. I've heard that this audition process can be crazy to process and that the president seems to have his own fun with it. I never auditioned for LME, Boss took me under his wing out of pure faith and I proved my talent as an actor by working hard because if I didn't, I would have to return to America.

It might be fun to work at the bottom rungs of the ladder for a little bit, definitely much more of a challenge then Kuon Hizuri who has to turn down offers and wedge in modeling shoots with a beautiful house and a beautiful wife and a beautiful life. Okay, let's do it!
