Not one of them is actually useful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pianist, the chef, the magic eye drops—she could at least understand those. They might slightly improve her outward image and make her more likable to fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what does Hokushin Itto-ryu: Menkyo Kaiden even mean? Does it expect me to bond with my fans by fighting them?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Given Japan’s fanatical idol culture, the host may face retaliation from rival fans when the album becomes a hit. Hand-to-hand combat alone may not suffice, so the system has thoughtfully added kenjutsu skills to the reward pool.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan’s face turned icy: “Didn’t realize you were so foresighted. Thanks a lot. But how does this help my album sell?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It doesn’t.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what the hell good is it to me?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system spoke solemnly: “For a singer, vocal skill and creative ability are paramount. You possess both, and your image is among the best. Simply releasing the album will guarantee a hit. But breaking records depends entirely on your own effort—the system cannot help you. Otherwise, why set this task at all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are the challenges you must face to become a Diva. Past legends and divas accomplished seemingly impossible tasks—not just because of their exceptional talent, but also because of their fearless, unmatched courage. That’s precisely what you lack now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan sneered: “You make me sound like a coward. A record? Watch me break it this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Confidence is good. Keep going—I believe in you~~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After redeeming the rewards, Luo Quan suddenly held a glass vial the size of a lighter, filled with clear liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know how magical these eye drops truly were, but since they came from the system, they couldn’t be bad. She twisted open the cap and dropped two drops into each eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh… these sparkling, dewy Kazzlan eyes!” Looking at her reflection, Luo Quan couldn’t help but sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan’s personality was naturally laid-back, which made her usual expressions and gaze lethargic—in other words, dull, lacking the vitality expected of a modern university student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after the eye drops, her entire aura changed, primarily through the transformation of her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. Before, her soul had been veiled in gauze; now, these drops had dissolved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her beauty had improved, but it didn’t help her mission one bit—the same headaches remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of the momentum from her frequent trending appearances, Luo Quan prepared to seize the moment and begin planning her new album.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, is that Miki-kun?” Luo Quan dialed Miki’s number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, what can I do for you, Izumi-san?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you arrange a meeting with Director Ishimura? My new album is ready.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?! Wait—I’ll notify Director Ishimura right away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miki acted swiftly, notifying Director Ishimura while driving to her apartment to pick her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the apartment was close to the company, Miki clearly didn’t want Luo Quan to waste even a second!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at Sony’s headquarters, Luo Quan was escorted into the conference room amid a crowd of eager staff. Dozens of managers and executives from across the company were waiting for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this really necessary?” Luo Quan felt suddenly embarrassed. She’d just said she had a new album—why the grand reception?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Ishimura rose with a smile: “You’re Japan’s hottest young female singer right now. You sold two million copies in your debut. No amount of attention is too much for your new album.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you all for your support,” Luo Quan replied politely, handing Director Ishimura a manuscript. The cover bore the album’s title and tracklist; the rest contained sheet music and lyrics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Album:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rite of Passage”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tracks:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Firstlove”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yakimochi”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Soba ni Iru ne”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kimi to Koi no Mama de Owarenai, Itsumo Yume no Mama ja Ira nai”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kiseki”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ikite Ita nda yo na”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unravel”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Akiasu”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aliez”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“b?o?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Japanese songs, many originally anime OPs or EDs. But in this world, some anime hadn’t been released yet, and the OPs\u002FEDs of those that had were replaced with different songs—so their recognition was drastically reduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Quan dared to use them because she had absolute confidence in their quality. Each one, on its own, was a hit-worthy song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, an album’s style shouldn’t be too rigid—it needs variety. Filling it entirely with love songs would cause listener fatigue. Even if romance is every young person’s dream, an album can’t be all love ballads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Luo Quan added several deeper tracks: ones exploring humanity’s relationship with the world, condemning school bullying, and opposing war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These themes elevated the album’s depth—this was Luo Quan’s ambition. She didn’t want to be just another girl who sang love songs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone has ambitions. Hers was to make her work reflect deeper human concern and broader meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Luo Quan hadn’t yet reached such a high level of awareness—or the capital to express it. Moreover, good Japanese songs with such qualities were rare, and the few that existed no longer fit the current era. Compiling this album had taken her considerable effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Ishimura held the manuscript, gazing at the delicate, sprite-like musical notes and the haiku-like lyrics. He felt as if he held his biggest achievement of the year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t understand music. Hana, you evaluate the sheet music.” He passed the score to Hana Yuka, head of the Market Research Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As head of Market Research, her job was to monitor music trends and identify the newest, most popular styles. She had a solid grasp of music herself—though she couldn’t compose, reading sheet music posed no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hana adjusted her thick-framed glasses, reading through “Firstlove” while softly humming along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she finished humming the entire verse and chorus, everyone’s expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>",979,"2026-06-20T22:54:01.657Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0d79a7fc3fa4deda24288d406c9ca3a275b659e5e8d1d72c1ddf96956d4af0ce","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-48","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-46",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-cover.jpg"]
