I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Chapter 215 Cara Izuhara

A ranging snowstorm descended upon Elffire City while a group of 13 friends enjoyed dinner inside a warm mansion on top of a hill at the Pedrarruna Forest.

"This is so delicious, Theo!" Sayuri exclaimed as she tasted the Tantanmen Ramen.

"Yeah, this is the best Tantanmen Ramen I ever tasted!" Max chimed in.

"There is nothing better than eating Tantanmen Ramen on a cold day!" Sam exclaimed with a satisfied sigh as she ate the food.

"I couldn't agree more!" June said as she also devoured the food.

The others also expressed their contentment as they ate the food.

But even then Theo just smiled and continued eating.

He was happy that they liked his food, but he did not take their compliments too seriously.

"I heard that the restaurant will have a vacation in January?" Sam asked after she sipped the broth of her ramen.

"Oh, yeah! Theo said we will have it from December 31st to January 11th of vacation!" Max replied excitedly.

Sayuri and Sam were surprised when they heard that.

After all, the restaurant has been open for just a few months, so they thought that Theo would not implement vacations so soon.

"I can't wait!" Shoko exclaimed.

"Hey, let's do something together at that time!" Lauren proposed as her eyes shone with excitement.

The eyes of the others also shone when they heard that.

"I'm in!" Max immediately agreed.

"That's not a surprise, Max. Everyone knows you do everything that Lauren tells you to do." Ayia giggled.

Everyone started laughing when they heard that because what Ayia said was indeed the truth.

Max blushed a little when he heard that everyone noticed their behavior.

While Lauren just smiled proudly.

"I heard that the Winter Music Festival will happen at the beginning of January. We can go there and enjoy the concerts." June proposed with a thoughtful face.

"You guys not gonna believe who's coming for the festival." Shoko said with an excited voice.

Everyone looked at her with curious eyes waiting for her to continue.

"Tell us already!" Lauren exclaimed impatiently.

Shoko just giggled as she saw their curious faces.

"Cara Izuhara!" Shoko declared with shining eyes.

"What?" Kimiko exclaimed loudly as her eyes when wide.

Everyone else was also shocked when they heard that.

Even Theo was taken aback when he heard that name.

But to understand why they were so shocked, it is needed to understand who is the artist they were talking about.

Cara Izuhara, 24 years old, was born from the union of a Pendragon descendent mother and a Yamata descendent father.

She had beautiful mixed ethnic features in her dark green hair and angelic face.

Since young Cara attracted attention because of her beauty, but she never cared for things like these.

That was because she had the dream to become a famous singer.

Since young, she sang in kids' musical competitions, but it was only when she was 21yo that her musical career took a lift to heights that she never dreamed of reaching.

On July 7th, 2017, she released her debut single, "Dumb Enough to Believe", which she co-wrote with her cousin and producer Dave Isoshi.Â

Within the week of its release, "Dumb Enough to Believe" was critically acclaimed, and broke Track's record twice for most daily streams for a new artist with over 15.7 million global streams on July 12th and over 17 million global streams the next day.Â

This record was only valid for new artists, as other famous artists had an even more impressive record.

But that did not diminish Cara's accomplishment.

It went on to break another Spotify record for the 25th song in history to hit 80 million streams in 7 days.Â

Cara had officially joined the club of acclaimed artists.

And the proof of that was when the song debuted at number one on Pyramid Hot 100 and reached number one in numerous other countries.

To understand the importance of Cara achieving first place in the Pyramid Hot 100 Charts, we need to understand what these charts are.

The Pyramid Hot 100 is the music industry standard record chart in the Sakura Abode for songs, published weekly by Pyramid magazine. These chart rankings are based on sales (physical and digital), radio play, and online streaming in the Sakura Abode.

And yes, that's right!

The Pyramid charts were practically the same thing as the Billboard charts from Theo's past life.

So, imagine a new artist debuting her first single on top of the Billboard Hot 100, this way everyone can imagine how awesome Cara's achievement was.

And in Cara's case, her achievement was even greater because Pyramid Hot 100 was much bigger than the Billboard Hot 100.

And Cara's achievements did not stop there because after 2 months she released her first single, she release her first album.

And it was another huge success.

All her songs were on the top of the Pyramid and Track charts.

She became famous worldwide.

She traveled all around the world on her concert world tour.

And wherever she went, crowds would go there to watch her sing.

Cara even was able to sing in the Champions League Final Half-Time Show last year.

That was the biggest sports event in the world.

And having the opportunity to sing in the half-time show was a huge achievement.

After saying all this, it becomes clear why everyone, even Theo, was shocked when they heard Shoko saying Cara's name.

"OhmygodOhmygodOhmygod!" Kimiko started rambling excitedly as her eyes shone.

Kimiko was a huge Cara fan that's why she was freaking out so much.

"How did the festival organization was able to get her to perform here?" Ayia asked shocked.

She had investigated the festival before to know if Theo could perform in it, but she never once heard in her search that Cra would perform there!

And her bewilderment was valid as the Winter Music Festival of Elffire City was just a small music festival.

There had never been such a famous artist like Cara performing in it before.

Everyone looked at Shoko waiting for an answer.

"Well, you guys know that Cara released her second album 6 months ago, right?" Shoko started.

"Obviously! Her second album was as good as the first one! I heard she's the favorite candidate to win the Saphire Award for Album of the Year." Kimiko replied with a proud face that only a diehard fan could make.

Kimiko could not control herself, she loved Cara's songs too much.

"Again? She already won the award with her debut album!" Sam exclaimed in wonder.

Everyone at the table knew that Cara Izuhara was one of the few artists who were able to win the four most important Saphire Awards in only one night.

Album of The Year, Song of The Year, Record of The Year, and Best New Artist.

The Big Four Saphire Awards (also known as the General Field) are four Saphire awards presented by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

They are the most prestigious and important awards at the ceremony.

So, when Cara won the big four most prestigious awards in the music industry, she carved her name in history as a legendary artist.

"That was what I heard." Kimiko shrugged her shoulders.

"It doesn't matter! Shoko, continue the story!" Sayuri said with impatience.

"Okay, as I was saying. Cara released her second album half a year ago. And since then, she has been touring around the country performing in some festivals." Shoko continued.

"Yeah, I wanted to go travel to Catadrid when she performed there, but I didn't have money at that time." Sam commented.

"Yeah, at first our Winter Music Festival was not in her scheduled concerts. And it was predicted that she would her tour in Sakura City on January 11th." Shoko explained.

"But I heard from my sister-in-law who works in the company that manages the Winter Music Festival that it seems that Cara herself offered to perform in our festival!" Shoko revealed with an excited face.

"What?" Everyone exclaimed in shock.
