I’m torn about whether to go to the second round of the audition. I don’t think I’ll make it to the next stage, and I don’t feel confident, so I keep overthinking everything.
This content is machine-translated.
If I have time to go to the audition, I feel it would be more practical to work at a lounge or through a dating club and earn money. I feel that, after everything my parents have done to raise me despite the trouble I’ve caused them, I shouldn’t make their retirement years difficult.
That’s why I want to earn money.
I’m gradually becoming more determined.
(For some reason, the people around me keep trying to stop me, though. They told me I’m someone who wasn’t loved by her parents.)
I’m Dai, a male member.
Why not go to auditions and earn money through papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) as well?
I don’t understand why you think you have to choose just one.

You can’t undo the regret of not taking a chance, so go for it! You’ve got this!!
Even if it’s an audition, it’ll only take two or three days at most, right? If you pass, great—and if you unfortunately don’t, you can think about what to do then.
If you’ve made it through several rounds of an audition for an idol group like ○○zaka, you’ll probably be popular at a lounge or dating club too, and should be able to earn a decent amount afterward.

Go for it—you made it through the first round, so it would be a waste not to. You only get one life. This isn’t the time to worry about what your parents will say. Your parents don’t want you to live a life you’ll regret later.

I’m in Seattle.
If it’s an audition where only one person out of several hundred gets accepted, it’s a waste of time even showing up. Maybe like Nogizaka46’s fifth-generation auditions.
I recommend a dating club.

What are you hesitating about?
Even if you go to the audition, it won’t take that much time. How much do you really think you could earn by spending that time on papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) or, alternatively, on a part-time job?
As long as you keep hiding your lack of confidence about passing the audition behind talk about your parents’ love, money, and so on, you won’t be able to overcome any obstacles.

Second Screening
If it’s a one-time opportunity, I think you should go for it and not let it pass you by.
You can always do other things later, or put them off.
It’s better to have as many valuable experiences as possible, especially when you’re young.
A lounge is fairly ordinary and something you can openly tell people about, but if possible, it’s better to avoid club dating. If you can get by without doing it, you don’t need to. Unless it’s absolutely unavoidable.

I think you should move forward in line with the resolve that’s taking shape within you.
And by the way, whether you were loved by your parents or not is just noise—nothing you need to tell others, or hear from them.
So, what’s your question? lol

I’m not sure how much time the second-round audition will take, but considering it’s only that amount of time out of your entire life, I don’t think it would be a significant loss.
With that in mind, whatever the outcome, I think you should go to the second-round audition.
