9/9 Otori Emu（鳳 えむ）Birthday Concert:https://youtu.be/zUaR25WY7UM?si=3NFg_SgoLRlObVfF 💜💗💜💗💜 Story 💗💜💗💜💗 The backstage birthday party was still lively.The candles on the cake had already been blown out, and the snacks on the table were gradually being shared among everyone. After the tension and busyness of the evening’s performance, everyone could finally relax—chatting, eating, and sharing funny moments from the show in the lounge.Emu sat beside the cake, her smile never fading as she looked at the staff who had been busy all night.She picked up a small snack and said happily:“Today is truly so wonderful!”Tsukasa, sitting nearby, immediately laughed when he heard that.“Of course! This is a birthday party we all worked hard to make happen!”Nene walked over carrying drinks.“And today’s performance went even more smoothly than expected.”Rui leaned against the wall, looking at the birthday decorations.“The stage mechanisms didn’t malfunction, and the backstage party went perfectly.” He nodded with satisfaction. “Tonight can definitely be called a very successful performance.”Gakupo smiled. “Not only was the show a success, but everyone also made great memories.”Luka looked at Emu. “Especially you.”Emu blinked. “Me?”Luka nodded. “From the stage until now, you’ve been smiling the whole time.”Emu immediately beamed. “Because everyone is here with me!”The lounge filled with laughter again.Just then, a staff member walked over holding a camera. “Hey! Shouldn’t we take another photo?”Emu turned quickly. “A photo?”The staff member nodded with a smile. “Yes. We already took the group photo on stage, but since this is the backstage party, we should leave a memory of it too.”Emu jumped up. “Great idea! Let’s all take one together!”Tsukasa stood up at once. “Excellent suggestion! The more memories we have of today, the better!”Nene looked at the staff preparing the camera and smiled. “Then let’s take it while everyone’s still here.”Rui glanced around the lounge. “If all the staff are included, this won’t be just an ordinary group photo.”The staff laughed. “Of course everyone should be in it! Tonight’s performance was a team effort. We can’t just let the performers take the photo.”Gakupo nodded. “Then let’s all leave a memory together.”Luka stepped forward. “I’m looking forward to it.”Soon, the lounge filled with performers and staff. Some stood by the cake, some near the decorations, others at the back. Emu stood right in the center.She glanced down at the cake, then looked up at everyone. “This time, I want the cake in the photo too!”Rui laughed. “Of course. It’s one of tonight’s stars.”Tsukasa nodded. “And it represents everyone’s heartfelt wishes!”The staff moved the cake forward so it would appear clearly in the shot.Nene adjusted positions. “Move a little to the side—now everyone’s visible.”Rui checked. “Yes, that’s perfect.”The photographer raised the camera. “Ready?”“Ready!” everyone answered together.Emu raised her hands high. “Then—” She paused, flashing her signature bright smile. “Wonderhoy—!”Everyone laughed.Click!The first photo was taken. On the screen, Emu stood before the cake, smiling brilliantly; Tsukasa looked full of energy; Nene had a natural smile; Rui appeared elegant and cheerful; Gakupo and Luka stood on the other side, with the hardworking staff behind them.It wasn’t lit by dazzling stage lights, but it radiated warmth.The photographer nodded. “Excellent! But let’s take a few more.”Emu nodded eagerly. “Okay!”In the second photo, everyone looked at the cake. Emu gazed at its decorations with joy.Tsukasa laughed. “This one looks like we’re about to eat it.”Nene nodded. “It does feel natural.”Rui chuckled. “Then for the next one, let’s all look at the camera.”The photographer agreed. “Good idea.”Everyone adjusted positions. Emu stood by the cake with her hands clasped; Luka turned slightly; Gakupo stood beside her; Tsukasa, Nene, and Rui found their spots; staff filled the back and sides.“Three! Two! One!”Click!The second photo was taken. This time, everyone’s eyes were on the camera, their smiles blending together, filling the air with happiness.Emu looked at the photo and exclaimed: “I love it! This one must be kept too!”The staff reassured her. “Don’t worry, all the photos will be organized.”Emu nodded firmly. “Yes! I’ll treasure them all!”Tsukasa smiled. “Then whenever we see them, we’ll remember today’s performance.”Nene added: “And the time we celebrated backstage together.”Rui said softly: “The stage photos record the show. These photos record the people who stayed after.”Gakupo nodded. “That’s what makes them precious.”Luka looked at everyone. “A performance isn’t just the hours on stage—it’s also the effort of everyone, front and back.”The staff smiled at that.Emu raised her hands again. “So today is everyone’s birthday party!”Tsukasa blinked, then laughed. “Even though you’re the birthday girl, you’re right. Today’s joy was created by all of us.”Emu nodded happily. “Yes! Together is the best!”The photographer captured that moment.Click!The third photo was taken—no poses, no planned expressions, just natural smiles. It became the final group photo of the night.When the camera was lowered, Emu still stood by the cake, looking at her friends and the hardworking staff.She smiled. “Thank you, everyone! Today was truly, truly wonderful!”Tsukasa replied with a grin. “Happy birthday, Emu!”Nene added with a smile. “Let’s take another photo on this day next year.”Rui nodded gently. “Then let’s save that promise for next year.”Gakupo laughed. “I’ll be looking forward to it.”Luka said warmly. “Me too.”Emu raised her hands joyfully. “Then it’s a promise!”The lounge filled with laughter once more.And those photos captured tonight—filled with songs, cake, blessings, and smiles—would forever preserve the memory of this night.
