#he's traveling the world and occasionally stops by to visit Zenjoh and say hi and they dance together

Is Zenjou in Idol K? He should be! Young Zenjou with Habari, omg. In Idol K. They'd be like senpai or "graduated" or whatever it is K-pop and other Asian popstars do. Cute. ;o;

I feel like he should have shown up at some point, everyone gets to be in Idol K right. Like Zenjoh and Habari were the original main stars of label Scepter 4, with Shiotsu maybe working as like their manager. Their style of singing was different than the popular idol style that Munakata and his Scepter 4 use now, like a less flashy style and more old-fashioned 80s type idol singers. Zenjoh was popular for his rough and tumble 'bad boy' look while Habari was considered more of the well-behaved ikemen type and their combination was part of their appeal. The two of them were definitely looked up to by a lot of Scepter 4's young and upcoming idols and it was expected that they would help guide newer idols in the future.

Then the mysterious 'Kagutsu idol incident' happened and they both promptly disappeared from the idol scene, leaving promotion Scepter 4 in shambles until Munakata appeared to clean up its image and bring it back to its former glory. Munakata of course felt it would be helpful to have a past idol on hand to guide the new generation but Habari's dropped completely off the radar and is unable to be found. Munakata does manage to find the retired and reclusive Zenjoh, and brings him back into Scepter 4 to work as something of a mentor figure. I imagine Zenjoh isn't very interested in being an idol anymore and maybe he thinks there isn't a point anyway, since the style of idol he and Habari were is something that can no longer be replicated in this current era. He also has his doubts about Munakata and the 'idol way' that Munakata supports, like is this spirit of being an idol really the same as the one that Habari so proudly created back in their prime. Zenjoh refuses to ever go on stage again but there's a rumor in Scepter 4 that if you look in on the practice room late at night after everyone's left you may spot him performing in silence, doing the same steps of dances that he and Habari once performed together, perfectly in step with a partner that's no longer there.
