If you’re on your way to Johnny’s Jimusho to get through the audition, my advice is: go back to your home right now. Believe me, whatever good things people told you about being a Johnny’s, they’re all a lie. If they suggested you to enter Johnny’s because you’re cool, good looking, talented, dances well, or sings well, or whatever, just … don’t. There are other ways to fame for you. Just try to lead a normal life okay.

And yes, I'm talking about Johnny’s entertainment, the gigantic Japanese Idol Industry. But I’m not talking about the idol life you regularly see on TV, I’m talking about the other life behind it.

If you’re a normal kid, reading this because you think it’s a fiction, great. Read on. I envy you for being able to believe that none of this ever happened. But if you recognize some odd coincidental occurrences in these pages that’s starting to freak you out—if you feel something stirring inside—stop reading immediately.

My name is Yamada Ryosuke.

I’m just a regular idol—if we count idols as “regular” person anyway. If you’re a girl, residing in Japan, or maybe from other country who happens to follow jpop, you might recognize me as the center of Hey! Say! JUMP. If you’re a fan of JUMP, you might think you know every single thing about us. But really, you don't. You might hate me for hiding this information from you. But really, I'm doing you a favor. That's why, I didn’t tell you this sooner. Because knowing this, means you might end up in grave danger. And I don’t want that to happen to you. Not in a million years. Worrying about the safety of my entire band members is already frustrating enough, I don’t think I could bear thinking about the fate of you, our fans.

That’s why we had to keep this a secret.

Don’t—tell anybody about this, okay? Not your mother, not your sister, not your brother, not even your crush. Because the fate of the human race depends on that. You'd think I'm being overdramatic. But that's because you haven't heard the entire story. You still have no idea what this is all about.

Okay then, where do you want me to start?

The day when my admired senpai decided to send me to a gangster’s layer for decoy?

The day me and my band members blew up a media company to save our butts?

Or the 10^th time I was almost murdered?

Or maybe, I’ll just tell you the day when the world doesn’t make any more sense to me. I could start at any point in my miserable life to prove it, but things really started going bad by the beginning of this year. When my agency decided to push my group up to fame. When senior groups began noticing us. We were beyond content that our group is starting to rise up to popularity this year. We thought things were happening in our favors.

Boy, was I wrong.

Once you read this, you'll find out how insane and crazy this world is.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Note:

Inspired by bond Ninomiya Kazunari as Shinigami in Assasination Classroom, and his precious student Nagisa Shiota played by Yamada Ryosuke. A headcanon that's been haunting my mind for a while. I know, I know, I'm still working on three other fanfictions but I just need to get this idea out of my head first. I've been craving for Hey! Say! JUMP x Arashi interaction so much this year I just had to work on this. I have some plots but this will take some time for me to develop. Pardon me if this fic will stay as a foreword for a loooong while, lol.
