STARHEART Enterprises
Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan
Tall place. It has buildings. Including this giant building belonging to STARHEART enterprises. They’re an up-and-coming record label whose expertise over the past two years has been the creation, training and support of idols across all of Japan. Over the past few weeks, however, things have…changed. A lot, in fact. New management meant new rules, new ways of thinking and it also meant that they, as new management, needed to shake things up. And with it, there was one single goal in mind. TO ELIMINATE IDOLS AND REBRAND STARHEART ENTERPRISES AS A SOLE ENTITY DEDICATED TO ALL THAT IS METAL! AND NOT THAT VISUAL KEI BULLSHIT EITHER!
…and thus, this is how the heroes of this story are now inside of the gigantic corporate head office of the brand new CEO of STARHEART Enterprises, who insisted on having the biggest office because reasons, staring at said old, wrinkled CEO with horn-rimmed glasses and a cigar in his mouth (because all badass CEO’s get one of those…OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW THIS IF YOU PAY ATTENTION TO POP CULTURE, SON!).
Oh, who are our heroes?
That would be Sugata Hotaru and Takuto Shindo, or as they are better known across the idol-world over the past few months: THE GALACTIC PRETTY BOYS~!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Also, do keep in mind that just about all of this conversation is in Japanese but put in the English language so you can all understand.)
CEO: I called you two here today…because we have a change of plans for you.
Takuto: Change of plans? New boss-sama, what does this mean?
CEO: Contrary to old management’s popular belief, the idol scene here in Japan hasn’t been doing as strongly as it was years ago. Be it due to foreigners from Korea and China making their own waves out here alongside the current idols that dominate the area not giving an inch, we’ve noticed that it won’t be long until you boys are…not putting yourselves on a path to the success you so richly deserve.
Sugata: …But we have sold out all arenas in which our tour is booked over the last six months…
CEO: THAT DOES NOT REFLECT YOUR FUTURE THAT IS TO COME!
Takuto: …We also have 200,000 units sold from our EP alone.
CEO: WHO IS THE TALENT AND WHO IS THE EXECUTIVE HERE NOW?!
Galactic Pretty Boys: …You are, boss-sama.
CEO: GOOD! So here’s what is going to happen. In order to appeal to an even BROADER market in our beloved country, as well as worldwide…we are going to send you two boys into a different industry. You’ll still have your appearances, talk show slots and musical appearances – but we are going to focus into making you two into legitimate stars…in the world of Puroresu.
The two (galactically pretty as fuck) boys glance at one another slowly, blink a few times, then glance back at the CEO.
Sugata: …Puroresu?
Takuto: As in…getting inside of a ring and FIGHTING OTHER PEOPLE?!?!
CEO: Of course, we will make sure you two get the best training possible first. We’ve already made arrangements for you two to enter a nearby dojo ran by the great Kevin Mask…
Sugata: But sir, Kevin Mask is a fictiona-
CEO: You two will enter that dojo, train for the next three months and then make your grand debut at Korakuen Hall. We here at STARHEART Enterprises are COUNTING on your great success to elevate our label and bring hope to idols everywhere trying to make it.
Takuto: Wow. Such pressure…I LIKE IT!
Wide eyed, Sugata Hotaru glances over at Takuto Shindo as if he were a mad man of madness. He places a hand on Takuto’s back, pulling him close and whispering accordingly.
Sugata: TAKUTO!!!
Takuto: No, no, seriously Sugata, this could be big for us. Think about it. We could excite audiences on a worldwide basis both with our fighting spirit AND our idol souls! …Besides, wasn’t your mom a famous wrestler?
Sugata: I don’t wanna talk about it. Or talk about her. Or be anywhere near around Puroresu due to her, in fact.
Takuto: Oh relax…besides, if we don’t do all that well, I’m sure they’ll let us get back to the normal.
Sugata: Something’s a bit too fishy about this, Takuto…
Takuto: You scare too easily, Sugata. Let’s just go with it. Besides, you got me in your corner. What could possibly go wrong?!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Four Months Later…
CEO: …Seven straight losses…and NO VICTORIES WHATSOEVER!
The CEO of STARHEART Enterprises bangs his fist against his table made out of pure mahogany, expressing how very, very angry he is at the tandem known as the Galactic Pretty Boys, who look worse for wear. At this point, they have been trained…at this point, they have debuted…and well, they’ve gotten their asses kicked time and time again, even while showing off flashes of brilliance and improvement with each match they have had in the world of professional wrestling.
CEO: YOU BOYS ARE A DISAPPOINTMENT TO OUR BRAND AND A DISAPPOINTMENT TO IDOLS EVERYWHERE!!!
The two men bow deeply, apologizing accordingly under their breaths as the CEO watches with his arms crossed, biting on his cigar a little harder than the usual.
CEO: Desperate times demand desperate measures, my dear little idols. Therefore, we’re going to give you one last shot to prove your worth…and we mean that, given that your contracts with us are running out at the end of the year.
The CEO slowly (and we mean this in every meaning of the word) stands up from his chair, taking the cigar off his mouth and setting it down on the ashtray.
CEO: …We’re sending you boys on an excursion. America, to be exact.
Galactic Pretty Boys: …AMERICA?!?!?!?!
CEO: Yes. America. There’s a place there in San Diego that we have some times to that has agreed to take the both of you into their “developmental” system.
Takuto: Developmental, sir?
Shindo: It means it’s a place for people who are bad at this stuff to get better in, Takuto. And let’s face it, we’re pretty bad if we can’t win matches.
CEO: Indeed, Hotaru-kun. So, pack your bags…you both leave in a week. We’ll let you two get accustomed to America for a month and even perform a few shows there first while you continue training. Come March, however, you’ll be actively wrestling and representing our brand…make us proud.
GPB: YES SIR!
CEO: …That is all. Dismissed.
The CEO watches as the two idols make their way out of the office, hurriedly discussing the news between themselves until they’re out the door and into whatever the fuck they’re into. He can’t help but to smile. As predicted, they were struggling to adapt and getting beaten up accordingly. America wouldn’t do them any good either. Soon, he’d have all the proper ammunition to terminate their contract and eliminate the entire idol division out of STARHEART Enterprises, completing the new management takeover and allowing them to focus their efforts into entering and dominating the metal scene in Japan.
Oh, right, insert evil laugh at inner monologue that echoes across the entire office here too.

March 29, 2014
The cameras are set backstage at the (R)Evolution Dojo and standing front and center, dressed fabulous as ever with matching smiles, shining hair and a determination to give one hell of a show are none other than the Galactic Pretty Boys themselves. Their galaxies shine bright, their fan girls are planning to storm the building at some point and they’ve got opponents to talk about.
SO LET’S DO THE THING!
Takuto: YO~!
Sugata: Hi. I am Sugata.
Takuto: And I am Takuto. Together, we are…
You know how people have cool handshakes to signify how awesome their friendship is? Well, Sugata and Takuto have this thing known as a pre-dance pose that combines the finest aspects of hip swinging, moving back and forth and the fusion dance of Dragon Ball Z, ending in a most FABULOUS pose.
Sugata: GINGA…
Takuto: …BISHOUNEN!
FABULOUS POSE REACHES ITS APEX HERE!
GPB: …THE GALACTIC PRETTY BOYS!!!!
They continue to pose accordingly. Sparkles appear around the screen after freeze framing the moment. We even take this time to present you with a meme picture to tell you just HOW important posing is:
…and now back to your regularly scheduled promo.
Sugata: Tonight…is very giant night for Takuto and me.
Takuto: “Takuto and I,” Sugata. Man, your English needs help.
Sugata: I sorry. It is struggle.
Takuto: Yes. Your struggle is real. But not point. Point here is, tonight, we debut in (R)evolution Wrestling. Great debut. GALACTIC DEBUT~!
Sugata: YOSH~! WE SHINE BRIGHT IN RING AGAINST TAG TEAM FAMILIARITY WITH ONE ANOTHER.
Takuto: …He means Coyote and the Anastasia ojou-sama we’re facing.
Sugata: …She’s ojou-sama?
Takuto: Have you looked at her trainer? Clearly she young girl who probably likes to say orders.
Sugata: That be…eto…what’s word…
Takuto: Correct. Because I am.
Sugata: No, that is not correct. She look like good person.
Takuto: Good person can be ojou-sama too. Boss type. Very royal. Hime-sama like.
Sugata: …So, is she princess or ojou-sama?
Takuto: We not going nowhere with this. Move on.
Sugata: Okay. Well, Anastasia seem like good person and strong too. Her partner Coyote has funny mask.
Takuto: Not enough COLOR~! BRO, DO YOU EVEN STYLE?!
Sugata: …What that mean?
Takuto: Ah, sorry. Something I picked up from our new friend Tom.
Sugata: Why you hang out with Tom? He loser.
Takuto: TOM IS MY BRO, OKAY?! UNLIKE YOU, HE MAKE FUNNY JOKE AND LIKES BOOTY TOO.
Sugata: I do not know what this booty is. But it sound scary.
Takuto sighs, placing an arm around Sugata.
Takuto: …we REALLY need to get you to go out. Practice and music no make life go round.
Sugata: …I consider if we win this match.
Takuto: OKAY~! LET’S GO WIN MATCH.
Sugata: Match is still hours away. Camera roll intensely still.
Takuto: Ah, right.
Sugata: We…may not have best record. We may look, how you say, silly to some…
Sugata takes a deep breath and then goes off (everything in parenthesis, by the way? JAPANESE WITH SUBTITLES AT BOTTOM TRANSLATING ALL THANKS TO THE MIGHTY “HS WEB TRANSLATE”)
Sugata: (But we determining to make gigantic penis-like impact upon wrestling world and dojo of (R)evolution by making little song bird cry many bird tears while Coyote howls in pain after getting hit with) THE PRETTY BOYS GALACTIC OVERDRIVE (and we win very first victory and make fans across world drop panties!)
Takuto: HAI~! (But most important true is that we do it with) STYLE (and much flair, like only) GALACTIC PRETTY BOYS (can do. So make preparing of body parts and chomp pillows down, for our bodies are dry as we go in to seize victory!)
MANLY IDOL POSE GOES HERE!
GPB: AT REVOWRESTLING EVENT, WE WILL DAZZLE STAGE AND YOUR GALAXY…
WILL…
SHINE!
Fade to black.
