Final Riff

Description

A short story focusing on Mami Sasazaki.

Fame, bright lights and the attention they were given, SCANDAL is finally making it big and one after another, their dreams are being fulfilled. Now, being in demand not only on Japan but also around the world, the pressure of being the lead guitarist on Mami take a heavy toll on her. Slowly, her attitude changed and her guitar became heavy for her to carry. Instead of enjoying playing it, it became a tedious work for her and everything seems not right. She took her guitar skills as something she could get back on again and left the band without a second thought, deciding on trying a different pace other than a band life.

With the new found freedom, will she realize that there's more to life than playing the guitar and that she made the right decision or will the force of nature make her realize how important it is to her more than that she could think of?

Foreword

Second short story from me. Just like Weekends with You, a work of fiction based on thinking Mami's inner demons..or something lol. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy this one :)

I would like to thank my very good friend, Jesselle / evilonthecore, for helping me come up with the title <3

Chapter 14: I haven't looked up to SCANDAL these past months then I searched and found out that MAMI was hospitalized because of health condition and it quickly reminded me of this story...though I think she's recovering from it and the concert in Osaka was postponed this May 2016. I've just read it here:

I do remember Mami saying in their Temptation Tour Documentary that she just really wants the fans to enjoy and that music is something that she loves and it's part of her life. She told too that if she can't play the guitar, she can't go on then she said that to reach higher goals it involves everybody and not trying on her own. She always says the weird things but also the one who gave the most inspirational thoughts on her as part of a band and being a musician. I do think SCANDAL will become legend as how they started with nothing and after almost 10 years, they've grown so much.

BTW I haven't read this fic yet and I'm anticipating for this! I'm also happy that there are fic writers of SCANDAL hehe since most here are k-pop fanfics.
