Kasane Pearto's Questionnaire

1. What town or city do you live in? Why do you live there instead of anywhere else? Describe your home.

Link Answered before Kasane Pearto's first Contract.

I live in Kichijōji, a quiet pocket of western Tokyo where the city’s chaos softens into calm. I chose it because it's far enough from the spotlight to disappear, but close enough to watch everything unfold. My apartment is a small, second-floor unit above an aging soba shop that always smells like broth and alcohol. The walls are thin, the floor creaks, but it’s mine. A single bedroom, a desk with scattered notes and wires, posters from a past life I barely remember. At night, the trains hum through the distance. Subtle reminders that everything keeps moving, even when you don't. I live here because no one looks for idols in silence.

2. How do you get your money right now? What do you spend it on?

I make my money through side work, voice-over gigs, old royalties that still trickle in, sometimes brand licensing deals under layers of aliases. I sell customized sound patches and vocal filters online, mostly to underground producers and idol-chasers. A few fans still collect “Pearto era” merch, I let them. I spend the money on rent, utilities, ammo, a variety of trinkets, and studio time when I can afford it. I buy backup drives, replacement gear, and cheap food that lasts. Most of it goes toward staying mobile, staying covered, staying ready. A quiet life costs a lot more than I used to think.

3. Describe your Ambition. What are you striving for? How far would you go to achieve this? Would you kill for it? How close to death would you come for it?

Link Answered before Kasane Pearto's first Contract.

I want to become the ultimate Pearto idol. Not just adored, but absolute. I don’t care about stages or spotlights anymore. I want to unify the world under the Pearto flag, where my voice becomes law, where no one forgets who I am. I will rebuild what they destroyed. Not with songs, but with force, with fear, with devotion. I will erase the false idols and silence the ones who turned their backs on me. I’ll kill for it. I’ll crawl through gunfire, breathe in smoke, bleed out on the world stage if I must. I don’t want fame. I want submission. If the world no longer wants me to sing for it, I want the world to sing only for me.

4. What was the most defining event of your life (before signing The Contract), and how did it change you?

The most defining moment of my life was the night my final concert was canceled. Not delayed, not rescheduled, just COMPLETELY erased. I watched from the dressing room as my face vanished from screens, replaced by newer... safer smiles. No explanation, no goodbye. The world moved on like I was never there. That night, something in me broke clean in half. I stopped being Kasane Teto, the idol they built, and began becoming Kasane Pearto, the one I’d build myself. I stopped chasing approval and started chasing control. If they wouldn’t let me belong to the world, then I’d make the world belong to me. 

5. Name and briefly describe three people in your life. One must be the person you are closest to.

Hoshino Mayu : The only person I still trust. She was my sound engineer back in the early idol days. When everything fell apart, she stayed. Now she runs the tech behind my current operations. She doesn’t ask questions, just makes sure my voice still cuts through. She’s the closest thing I have to family.

 “Vice” :  A fixer who handles my backend work: gear, safehouses, data scrubbing. I’ve never seen his real face, only being able to hear him through a scrambled modulator. He respects what I’m becoming. I think he’s scared of it too. Im still unsure if he has my best intentions in mind.

Kuro :  A fan who turned obsessive. He followed me after the fall, found out who I was, and now sees himself as my “first pear-liever". I've never been more disgusted at a person before but considering my situation, I can't afford to cut off my one last fan. 

6. How was your childhood? Who were your parents? What were they like? Did you attend school? If so, did you fit in? If not, why not?

My childhood was a script someone else wrote—smiles, choreography, and silence where questions should’ve been. I don’t remember my parents as people, only as managers: always present, never there. They shaped me like a product, polishing rough edges until I shined just right for the spotlight. I did attend school, technically, but I never really fit, not when every lunch break was a rehearsal and every friendship a liability. The other kids saw the commercials, the stage lights, the glitter. They didn’t see the hours in front of mirrors, or the way my name felt more like a brand than a self. I learned early that applause is the loneliest kind of affection, loud, fleeting, and always conditional. So I stopped reaching for belonging and started preparing for something more permanent: control. Fitting in was never the goal. Being unforgettable, that was the real assignment. And I will achieve it no matter what.

7. Have you ever been in love? With who? What happened? If not, why not?

Once. A fellow idol-in-training—bright, relentless, always humming some unfinished melody. We were two sparks in the same cage, dreaming of freedom, of stages where we could finally breathe. Late-night harmonies turned into confessions, quiet touches, plans whispered between camera flashes. But love doesn't survive in factories that make stars. They found out. Management “reassigned” him—gone without warning, like a verse cut from a song. I was told to smile wider, sing louder, forget faster. I haven’t loved since. Not because I can’t, but because I refuse and will not let anyone close enough to be taken from me again.
