Romantic comedy with all members, why am I single?

Chapter 261 Dilemma
"What do you mean?"

"Who does this girl think she is?"

"You're just a street singer, how dare you question the senior?"

Before she opened her mouth, Momoka Kawaharaki had simulated in her mind countless times the possible ridicule and sarcasm that she might face from Iura Hide and Sugaya Noha.

However, what she didn't expect was that Hoshino Ai and the others did not laugh at her, but just looked curious and a little wary.

As for Iura Hide, he was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "You figured it out? That's right, when this song was first arranged, the live performance did require two secondary guitarists. But our band only has one guitarist, Pochi-chan, so if we're going to sing this song tonight, we'll only sing the 'youth version'."

Of course, if you record in a recording studio, you don’t need to find another guitarist. Just let Pochi play it twice more and then synthesize it on the computer.

But at this moment, Momoka Kawaharaki on the side was so overjoyed after hearing this explanation that she almost screamed and jumped up.

"Is Iura-san such an easy-going guy? I thought a super genius like him would be very arrogant."

Momoka Kawahara tried hard to control her emotions and wanted to appear calm.

However, looking at Jingpu Xiu's handsome, sunny, gentle and clean smile, even if she actually had 'ulterior motives', she suddenly felt dizzy and her heart seemed to skip a beat.

Fortunately, she had already thought over her next words countless times beforehand. Even though her brain was a little slow from overload at the moment, it did not affect her self-recommendation.

"If you're short of help, I can help! I'm pretty good at playing the guitar, if you don't believe me you can let me try."

After these words were spoken, everyone was stunned again, and then had different reactions.

Hoshino Ai, Sugaya Noha and the others all suddenly realized what was going on, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of their original vigilance towards Kawaharaki Momoka.

Ijichi Hoshika, who was not far away, frowned slightly, and she and Kawahara Reika and An He Subaru beside her all became nervous involuntarily.

As for Jingura Hide, who was the center of everyone's attention, after he came to his senses, he couldn't help but reveal a strange look on his face.

"Is this guy going to abandon her 'celery'?"

Jing Qinna, also known as Qinna for short, is the heroine in the anime "The Crying Girls Band". She was originally just an ordinary high school girl with a withdrawn personality. She had to drop out of school due to school bullying and suffered from bipolar disorder.

Later, he came to Tokyo alone on the pretext of attending a good cram school and getting into a good university in the future. Then, by chance, he formed a band with Momoka Kawahara, Yasu and Subaru, and two others.

Among them, the relationship between Kawahara Ki Momoka and Isen Nina is like that of mother and daughter.

It can even be said that without the guidance and help of Momoka Kawaharaki, it would have been impossible for Isen Rina to form a band and embark on the path of music.

Now Momoka Kawaharaki actually wants to join Thousand Miles Sunshine?
What about her Jingqinren dish?
Yes, this is not narcissism. Just looking at the suppressed, nervous and expectant look on Momoka Kawaharaki's face, he knew that the other party did not just want to help temporarily, but wanted to join his band.

But this is not surprising.

In the original anime, after Momoka Kawaharaki quit the idol band that she and her classmates formed when they dropped out of high school, she worked as a street singer for several years and released a few songs herself, but they did not cause any response.

After several years, he is still standing still and can't even upgrade to a 'bar singer'.

In the end, even she decided to give up her dream, give up music, and return to her hometown.

It was when he was preparing to return to his hometown that he met Jing Qin Rencai. He was infected by Jing Qin Rencai's simplicity and stubbornness, and after seeing Jing Qin Rencai's talent, he began to rekindle his dream.

To put it simply, apart from her decent guitar skills, she has no talent in singing or songwriting. She will never be able to realize her dream in her lifetime relying on her own strength.

Although she has not yet reached the point of giving up her dream, the past two years have been enough for her to face reality.

In addition, she still has a hidden obsession in her heart, which is revenge against her old teammates.

Now that there is such a good opportunity for her to come into contact with Wanli Yangguang and Jingpu Xiu, how could she not want to join?

There is no doubt that joining Thousand Miles Sunshine will make Kawaharaki Momoka's future destiny better.

After all, whether it is the popularity of the anime or the popularity of the song, "Crying Girls Band" is much worse than "Lonely Rock".

It is even more incomparable to Thousand Miles of Sunshine, which absorbed the essence of the band Bond and has the awesome combination of Iura Hide and Hoshino Ai.

Not to mention YOASOBI, Baye, Green Apple and the like, even the slightly inferior masterpieces of Ado, Aimer and Milet, any one of them he picked out would be a height that 'Ci Tuan' would never be able to reach.

But after losing Momoka Kawaharagi, the fate of the 'violent celery' will probably be quite tragic!
"I can also help with the saxophone part!"

Just when Iura Hide was a little distracted, An He Subaru suddenly came over and stood next to Kawaharaki Momoka.

This made Jingpu Xiu smile bitterly in his heart.

Unlike Kawahara Ki Momoka's original intention, the reason why An He Subaru wanted to study music and join the band was to rebel against the path of becoming an actor arranged for her by her grandmother, who was an actor of the Taiga drama.

The better her performance in music, the louder her voice of resistance will be.

In this way, Iura Hide, who possesses amazing talent and has topped the weekly charts for two consecutive weeks just after his debut as a high school student, is undoubtedly her best helper.

"Fortunately, Anhe Subaru is a drummer, otherwise..."

"OK then!"

Jingpu Xiu looked at the two people's expectant eyes, thought for a moment, and finally agreed to let them give it a try.

After all, what Kawaharaki Momoka asked for now was just a temporary guest appearance. It would be too inhumane if she wasn't even allowed to give it a try.

"But let me make it clear first, we may not perform this new song tonight. It depends on the results of the rehearsal later--"

"No problem! Subaru and I will try our best and won't hold anyone back!" Kawaharaki Momoka said excitedly before he could finish.

Jing Pu Xiu looked at her passionate appearance as if she had been injected with chicken blood, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. If he really refuses Momoka Kawaharaki to join the band, God knows how disappointed and frustrated Momoka Kawaharaki will be.

Maybe I will just give up my dream and go back home early. This is very difficult to do!

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time!"

"This is a complex world. It's not surprising that things deviate from the track due to the entanglement of fate."

"But speaking of which, there have been a lot more people applying to join the light music club at school recently."

While muttering to himself, Iura Hide stopped the accompaniment he had originally planned to produce, and went to the stage with Hoshino Ai and the others to start rehearsing.

Although it was just a small stage of less than ten square meters, and the lights were only half turned on, and there were not many fans or audiences in the audience, Momoka Kawaharaki couldn't help but reveal an envious look when she saw the five people rehearsing on the stage.

After all, no matter how small the stage is, it is still a stage. It is much more high-end than the places like overpasses, squares and subway stations!

An and Subaru beside her also had a strange light in their eyes. The utilitarianism in their hearts unconsciously decreased a lot, and their longing for music and the stage also increased a little.

Although her initial purpose was to rebel against her grandmother's arrangements for her life, she had actually fallen in love with music without realizing it.

"One two three! GO!"

First, we practiced the three songs "Sold Out", "If You Can Shine" and "Youth Syndrome" again to make sure there would be no problems with unfamiliarity when performing them again after a week.

Afterwards, Iura Hide arranged for Hoshino Ai and the others to rest first, and at the same time gave the music score of "You Are the One" to Kawahara Momoka and Yasuwa Subaru.

Then, the first unexpected problem soon arose.

The problem is that Momoka Kawahara spent fifteen minutes but still couldn't memorize the music score.

"It's okay, don't be nervous, just take your time, you're just too nervous, relax a little~"

Looking at Kawaharaki Momoka's nervous and impatient appearance, Iura Hide couldn't help but comfort her patiently.

It was at this time that he realized how amazing Pochi's memory was, as she was able to memorize every note of an entire music score in just ten minutes.

"This should be considered a hidden talent, right?" Jingpu Xiu couldn't help but think secretly. He was also relieved about the problem that Kawaharaki Momoka couldn't memorize the music score quickly.

After all, if it were him, he might not be able to memorize an unfamiliar piece of music even in half an hour or an hour, let alone fifteen minutes.

"Maybe it would be faster to memorize while playing." After hesitating for a long time, Pochi finally plucked up the courage, walked over and said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Kawahara Ki Momoka was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Pochi-chan. After meeting Pochi-chan's eyes that were as clear as the sky after rain, she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of guilt in her heart.

"Well, you're right. I'll try it."

Momoka Kawahara took a deep breath and did not reject Pochi-chan's kindness.

In fact, one can indeed memorize faster while playing, not to mention that the process of playing is also showing her skills and strength to Iura Hide, which is undoubtedly a good thing for her who wants to get Iura Hide's recognition.

However, to her disappointment, but also as it should be, Iura Hide did not stay by her side to watch how well she played.

Instead, she left An and Subaru to accompany her to continue memorizing the music score, and then she returned to the stage with Hoshino Ai and the others who had already rested, planning to rehearse the youth version of "If You Are the One".

At the same time, Noha Sugaya in the audience immediately picked up her mobile phone and pointed it at the stage to start recording, so that Iura Hide and others could understand the results of the rehearsal more clearly.

However, as the dynamic guitar-based prelude sounded, Kawahara Ki Momoka could no longer recite it!
"Oh my god! Is this Iura-san's new song? It feels just as good as "If You Can Shine" and "Youth Syndrome"! And the arrangement is more complex and gorgeous. Is this the power of a super genius?"

Momoka Kawahara was muttering excitedly in her heart, and she couldn't help but reveal a look of admiration when she looked at Iura Hide.

In fact, it wasn't just her. An and Subaru beside her, and Reika Kawahara who was standing with Ijichi Hoshika not far away, also showed shocked expressions.

Being able to consistently create music of this level is difficult for a high school student, let alone those gold medal composers who have been famous for many years!
As for those first-line singers, it’s already amazing that they can consistently receive songs of this level!
"Come to think of it, Jingpu-san just said that this song seems to need two backup guitarists? How about I apply for the position as well?"

Rika Kawahara's mind couldn't help but start to stir.

As for Kawaharaki Momoka and An He Subaru, they were of course more eager to join Thousand Miles of Sunshine.

After the first round, Noha Sugaya immediately ran to the stage happily as if she was a little rabbit who only saw carrots, came close to Iura Hide, and pressed the video play button on the mobile phone screen.

Maybe it was because it was the first time they were practicing, and the arrangement was indeed much more complicated than the previous songs, so not only Ijichi Kouka, but also Yamada Ryo and Pochi-chan made a few mistakes.

The only ones who didn't make any mistakes were Iura Hide himself and Hoshino Ai, who was only responsible for singing.

However, because they have a good mentality and have already grasped the trick, they don't have to panic if they make mistakes. They just need to follow Iura Hide's piano. Therefore, unless they are professionals who have seen the music score, ordinary audiences will not be able to hear the problem.

Just as Iura Hide had originally expected, without the orchestral accompaniment consisting of trumpet, clarinet, and saxophone, as well as two secondary guitarists, the richness of the accompaniment was obviously inferior to the original version.

To those familiar with the original version by Iura Shu, it sounds monotonous, and the quality is slightly inferior to "If You Can Shine" and "Youth Syndrome".

If it were performed on stage, it would be a bit like destroying one's reputation.

"Hey, Xiu, how are you?"

Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time after watching the video, Ijichi Hongxia finally couldn't help but ask.

"No, without the accompaniment of the orchestra and the secondary guitar, it won't achieve the effect I want."

Jingpu Xiu didn't hesitate to express his thoughts directly.

After hearing this, Ichichi Hongxia and the others all showed disappointment to varying degrees, but they didn't try to figure out anything.

They also don't want the band's popularity to be affected by performances that don't meet their expectations.

"Oh, right," Yijizhi Hongxia suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Ryo also wrote a song recently. Xiu, can you help her take a look at it?"
