Original Request:
Hello うさぎのつの-san! I would like to request with the theme of ドールズフロントライン x VA-11 HALL-A collab! The following details are more suggestions than guidelines, but I will also be providing my line of thought so you can maybe understand what kind of scene I'm thinking of.
-Characters:
春田 (bartender outfit), Jill, Kira☆Miki
-Background & props:
In the VA-11 HALL-A bar, 春田 and Jill are at a grand piano, and Kira☆Miki is on a TV in the background. A beer and a Piano Woman are on the piano top.

-Atmosphere:
Fun and cheerful
-Poses and Actions:
春田 is playing the piano, with a slight smile like in her bartender art. Kira☆Miki is part of an advertisement on the TV, striking an idol pose. Jill is drunk and singing her heart out, striking the same pose as Kira☆Miki
My initial idea was to include 春田 and Jill in one scene, but I also really like Kira☆Miki from VA-11 HALL-A who unfortunately was not included in the collab, so I wanted to include her as well. Because Kira☆Miki is a singer, and since the game contains Piano Man and Piano Woman drinks, I wanted to pay homage to the original Piano Man song by Billy Joel. (For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxEPV4kolz0). However I couldn't come up with any satisfying compositions with all three physically in the same room, so I arrived at the idea of Kira☆Miki being on the TV. Kira☆Miki's songs are generally happy and upbeat so that is the reason behind the atmosphere.
Thank you once again for your consideration! If you need any clarification or any additional references, don't hesitate to reach out!
