[She's sorry, Tokiya, for making it so tense for him too. But he looks like he's relaxing now. Excuse the fact she's driving on the faster end of safe, though. At least she's stopped honking like crazy.
She doesn't really care for conversation if he doesn't want to start one. Although since this is the family car and he might be being polite--] If you want to turn on some music, feel free to. There might be some CDs around, I don't often use the car so I am unsure what's available.
[She likes yo cheesy pop songs too, dude. He could've plugged it in! But for now, she'll let him search around. Tamaki does have classic tastes, and Chiyo is a cute ordinary girl with great talent. Surely it's all safe.]
Do you see anything you like? You don't have to worry about me, I'll listen to almost anything. [She's also not picky because this way she can learn. There's a sharp turn, but she makes it with no one feeling too rushed. Ah yes, good job.]
[ Some things really are too cheesy for his liking until he actually gets a waifu and then it all makes sense .
Nevertheless, he manages to find an innocuous-looking one and slots it into the player. It's presumably one of Chiyo's discs, since it contains Japanese idol music of the female variety.
It can really monopolise one's attention, yes. I suppose for listening while you are trying to work, something slower would be more appropriate. [A SOFTY!!!] Slower pieces are probably more vocally strenuous? You'll need to be very emotional...
[EXACTLY let them come with banners and glowsticks, you tsun.]
Happier songs? [She's heard some, but it's not like such music is super common when many try to bust out a ballad when they're trying to do a slow song.]
Ah, a form of art or a perfect performance? Both of them are are two definitions of technical. To someone like me, who does not know the intimate details of music, it is too difficult.
How about perfect just because you like it? A song that you can listen to again and again, whether or not it is popular and technically perfect.
That's his own fault for having so many problems too, gosh.]
As big as any large sized town. Big enough to have a sizable lake and park too, and an amusement park. It has four sections. We live in the housing gate, then you have the shopping gate, which is where we are now. For leisure, there is the pleasure gate, and where I don't often go, but you might should you decide to be an impressionable student, the alumni gate.
[And a nice parking spot! She swerves in and parks the car.] We're here.
[ It's hard being a tsun. It's hard and no one understands. ]
Nowhere as big as Tokyo, then.
[ Tokiya already knows about the four gates, but not the size of the whole area. He would have tried to leave if he actually had motivation to leave. Being here is actually less stressful than his old life.
When they arrive, he exits the car promptly, having taken everything with him. Lead the way, not!mom. ]

[ He could probably plug his phone in, but he isn't sure what Vietnam's taste in music is. Maybe it would clash.
So he's just going to look around to see if there are any CDs lying around. Maybe they belonged to Chiyo or Tamaki? ]

Which makes him feel better, but only slightly. ]
no subject
[This one was safe and cute though. She sometimes taps her finger along with the beat whenever they have to stop.]
As an idol, what type of music do you sing?
no subject
The question, however, is much more difficult to respond to. He needs to mind his double identity. ]
I have not debuted yet, so I just sing whatever is needed for training and from my agency. I have not been assigned a genre yet.
no subject
And another turn!]
Oh? Do you have a preference though?
no subject
It depends. To sing, or to listen?
no subject
Mmm, let's go with both!
no subject
For listening, I prefer ones with softer emotion. As for singing... I have not had the chance to do much, so perhaps likewise.
[ No way in hell is he going to mention Hayato's ones. ]
no subject
Oh? So you like soft music... [He is a softy then!!] You have a nice voice, I think you'll sing such songs wonderfully.
[And Hayato's songs too but she don't know that.]
no subject
Do you not find intense music rather distracting? [ No he's not a softy he's just a calm person! ] Slower pieces are more conducive for productivity.
[ We don't talk about Hayato. ]

[Wai nawt.]
no subject
Not those types of soft. Lighter emotion works with some types of melodies.
[ See: his Debut insert song and also Crystal time. The one typed into doing love songs is Masato, not him. ]
no subject
Happier songs? [She's heard some, but it's not like such music is super common when many try to bust out a ballad when they're trying to do a slow song.]
no subject
Not the saccharine type. [ He replies sharply, almost a little too fast to be appropriate. ] Those are too artificial.
[ We don't talk about Hayato. ]
no subject
Do you have an example? What song would you consider perfect? [She's asking for a song name and artist, just in case she can recognise it.
But he sparkles, Tokiya.]
no subject
That is a difficult question. Do you mean perfect as a form of art, or perfect in performance?
[ Sparkles are gross. ]
no subject
Ah, a form of art or a perfect performance? Both of them are are two definitions of technical. To someone like me, who does not know the intimate details of music, it is too difficult.
How about perfect just because you like it? A song that you can listen to again and again, whether or not it is popular and technically perfect.
[Sparkles are like stars!!!]
no subject
... I have yet to find one.
[ Asking for something which he likes yet being not perfect is impossible.
Or maybe it's just because he can't bring himself to accept them yet. ]
no subject
Oh...? That's...
[She tilts her head, then makes a turn to head into the carpark.]
That's a shame. It would be nice to find something you like, just like how as an idol, you will do the same for others.
no subject
Perhaps.
[ The conversation is going back into uncomfortable territory, so he tries to change the subject. ]
How big is this town?
no subject

no subject
Oh no, it's nowhere as big as Tokyo. Definitely not as big as a city. It is but a humble town.
[More than a town, but definitely not a city. Which suits her fine, anyway, even though she's used to bustling cities.
As soon as he's ready, she starts leading the way.] This way. You can help me pick ingredients.
