The red carpet was buzzing with activity, journalists from all over the world calling out to the celebrities as they arrived at the Sapphire Awards. But amidst the flashes, the fanfare, and the constant chatter, all eyes were on Moonlight and Tsukuyomi as they made their way slowly down the carpet. Their mysterious presence had already captivated the crowd, but the moment they paused to grant an interview, the excitement on the carpet reached another level.
As the sea of photographers continued to shout for their attention, one voice rose above the rest.
"Moonlight! Tsukuyomi! Over here! Can we get a word with you?"
It was Clara Llanez, the renowned journalist from StarTune TV, a familiar face to millions of worldwide viewers. Her warm, charismatic personality and genuine love for music made her one of the most trusted voices in the industry. She had been hoping for this moment, knowing that an interview with the duo would be the highlight of her career. But what Clara didn’t know was that Moonlight had already chosen her.
Both Moonlight and Tsukuyomi turned toward her with grace, and with a slight nod from Moonlight, they walked over to her spot, leaving the other reporters in the background calling after them in vain. For the briefest moment, Clara looked surprised, then quickly regained her composure, beaming with excitement.
Clara, dressed in a stunning sapphire-blue gown, smiled as they approached, her microphone ready. "Moonlight, Tsukuyomi," she greeted warmly. "Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us tonight."
Moonlight, with his signature calm presence, nodded politely. "It’s our pleasure," he said, his voice deep but light, carrying a warmth that surprised those who hadn’t heard him speak before.
Tsukuyomi added, her voice soft yet full of energy, "We’ve been watching you on TV for a long time, so we couldn’t pass up the chance to meet you."
Clara’s eyes widened slightly at the compliment, her face lighting up. "That’s such an honor to hear! I’m sure I speak for the entire audience when I say we’ve been dying to ask you a few questions. First things first, you’ve both been quite the enigma since your debut—everyone is fascinated by your music and, of course, by your masks. Can you tell us why did you choose to perform with them?"
The crowd hushed slightly, eager to hear the answer to the question that had been on everyone’s minds for months.
Moonlight chuckled softly before replying. "The masks are part of who we are, not just as artists, but as people. We want the world to connect with our music, not our faces. The masks allow us to remove the distractions of identity and let the songs speak for themselves."

Tsukuyomi nodded, adding with a playful smile behind her mask, "Besides, we’re a little shy. The masks help with that."
Clara laughed along with them, sensing the lightness in their tone. "Well, you’re certainly doing a great job of keeping the mystery alive. But tonight is a big night—the Sapphire Awards! How does it feel to be attending this prestigious event for the first time?"
Moonlight glanced at Tsukuyomi before answering, his voice sincere. "It’s surreal. We’ve watched the Sapphire Awards for years, so to be here, standing on this red carpet feels like a dream. We’re honored to be a part of something that celebrates music on such a grand scale."
Tsukuyomi added, "I’m still pinching myself, to be honest. It’s one thing to watch it from home, but being here—hearing the fans, seeing the lights—it’s a different kind of magic."
Clara nodded, clearly touched by their humility. "I imagine it must feel overwhelming, but your fans have been eagerly waiting for this moment. How have you been handling the incredible rise to fame? It seems like the world can’t get enough of you two."
Moonlight tilted his head thoughtfully. "Fame is... an interesting thing. We try to stay grounded and focus on why we’re here—to create music that connects with people. The attention is flattering, but at the end of the day, we’re just like anyone else. We have good days and bad days. The music keeps us centered."
Tsukuyomi’s voice was soft but playful, "And we try not to search ourselves online too often. That helps."
Clara laughed again, clearly enjoying the duo’s sense of humor. "That’s probably wise. But I have to ask—what’s been the most surprising part of your journey so far?"

Moonlight glanced at Tsukuyomi, silently asking her to take the question. She smiled behind her mask before answering, "I think the most surprising part has been how quickly everything has happened. One day we were making music in our studio, and the next, our music was trending worldwide. It’s hard to wrap your head around it sometimes."
Moonlight nodded in agreement. "It’s also been surprising how much people resonate with the songs. We never expected our music to reach as many people as it has. It’s humbling."
Clara smiled, clearly charmed by their sincerity. "Speaking of your music, you’ve both been nominated for several awards tonight. How are you feeling about that? Any nerves?"
Moonlight’s eyes crinkled slightly as if he was smiling behind his mask. "There are always nerves. It’s an honor to be nominated, but we try not to think about the competition too much. We’re here to celebrate music, and whether we win or not, we’re just grateful to be here."
Tsukuyomi added with a laugh, "Though, if we win, we might not know what to say. We didn’t prepare any speeches."
Clara laughed, nodding along. "Well, I’m sure whatever you say, the fans will love it. Now, I have to ask—what can we expect next from Moonlight and Tsukuyomi? Any new projects in the works?"
Moonlight’s eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief. "We’re always working on something. New music, new ideas. Let’s just say we have a few surprises up our sleeves."
Tsukuyomi leaned in slightly, adding with a playful tone, "And maybe some of those surprises will include a little more dancing. We’re working on our moves."
Clara grinned, clearly enjoying the exchange. "I think the fans will be thrilled to hear that! Thank you both so much for speaking with me tonight. Before I let you go, is there anything you’d like to say to your fans watching from home?"
Moonlight’s expression softened behind his mask, and he spoke with a quiet sincerity. "Thank you for believing in us. We wouldn’t be here without your support, and we hope our music continues to resonate with you. This night is as much yours as it is ours."
Tsukuyomi nodded in agreement, her voice gentle as she added, "We love you all. Thank you for making this journey so magical."
Clara, visibly touched, smiled warmly at them both. "I’m sure your fans feel the same way. Thank you again, and good luck tonight! We’ll all be watching closely."
With that, Moonlight and Tsukuyomi bowed their heads slightly, a respectful and graceful gesture, before turning away from the cameras. The interview lasted only a few minutes, but the impact was immediate. Fans all around the world who were watching the scene on StarTune TV were in an estate of excitement as they watched the duo resume their slow walk down the red carpet, still surrounded by the flashing lights of the cameras.
As they moved forward, Clara watched them disappear into the crowd of photographers and fans, her own smile lingering. She knew that she had just experienced a moment that would be talked about for years—a rare glimpse behind the masks of two of the most mysterious artists in the world.
