Romantic comedy with all members, why am I single?

Chapter 262: Stupid, but working hard

"Huh? Yamada Ryo's new song? Is it "Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet"? "

Iura Hide was stunned for a moment, then took the phone handed to him by Yamada Ryo with curiosity, walked to the arrangement keyboard, and started playing according to the music score on the phone.

Then he found out that this song was not "Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet", which was the second most popular anime after "Syndrome", but one of its ED songs, "Distortion!!!".

This song sounds pretty good, but the results are
"how is it going?"

After looking at Ichichi Kouka, Iura Hide looked at Yamada Ryo, seeing the nervousness and expectation hidden in her seemingly calm eyes. He thought for a moment and said, "That sounds good. It should be able to enter the top 20 on the daily chart, and the top 80 on the weekly chart."

Of course, this achievement is only possible on the basis of the band's current super high popularity.

Otherwise, I might only be around 30th on the daily list, and I probably wouldn't even be able to make it into the top on the weekly list.

However, Ijichi Kouka and Yamada Ryo did not think of this, so after hearing Iura Hide's comment, not only Ijichi Kouka couldn't help but scream in excitement, but even Yamada Ryo couldn't maintain his usual cold face.

"That's amazing, Ryo-senpai!"

"Yes, yes! Not only can it enter the top 20 on the daily rankings, but it can also enter the top 80 on the weekly rankings. It's really amazing!"

“Even many old underground bands can’t achieve such results, right?”

"."

The corners of Reika Kawahara's mouth twitched below the stage, and she felt a little implied.

Yamada Ryo, who was praised by everyone, scratched his head and couldn't help but chuckle.

This is no wonder. Not counting idol groups, independent singers, and crossover celebrities, there are hundreds or even more underground bands active in Tokyo alone.

Even Hiroi Kikuri's Morbid Hacker Band, a very popular band in the underground band circle, has not had a single song enter the daily charts after so many years of debut, let alone enter the top 100 of the weekly charts.

If Yamada Ryo's new song can enter the top 80 of the weekly chart, it will be really amazing.

But this seems normal to Iura Hide.

Because songs like "Distortion!!", "Lonely Tokyo" and "Secret Base" were all attributed to Yamada Ryo in the anime, Yamada Ryo's composing ability has actually barely reached the level of a second-tier composer.

It's not surprising to be able to write a song that ranks in the top 100 of the weekly charts.

But in the eyes of Kawaharaki Momoka, who was still memorizing the music score, it was like eating a hundred fresh lemons. She was almost dying of envy.

Even the band she formed with her classmates, which has transformed into a "girl idol" band, has not had a single song enter the Japanese charts even after more than two years of debut.

As a result, the Thousand Miles Sunshine Band didn't even need Iura Hide to do anything personally. A new song written by 'random' person could beat that band. They had to join in!

Momoka Kawaharaki's determination to join Thousand Miles Sunshine became even stronger.

It is worth mentioning that in the band circle, debut does not necessarily mean that the band will be very popular and strong.

It's just a ceremony to announce to the circle and fans that "we are here".

Just like the Diamond Dust band that Momoka Kawaharaki and her classmates formed when they dropped out of high school. Even though they were girl idols, their popularity was still not as high as the Pathological Hacker Band led by Kikuri Hiroi.

Judging by the scale of the concert, although Pathological Hacker is still an underground band, they are qualified to hold small concerts with 1000 people.

The Diamond Dust band could only hold mini concerts with about 800 people.

Of course, even if it is a concert with 800 people, it is still much higher than the level of Reika Kawahara's band and Momoka Kawahara, the street singer.

Reika Kawahara's band is going to have a special performance, and it is estimated that even the 80-seat performance hall will not be full.

As for Momoka Kawaharaki, apart from her friends, I'm afraid no one will go to her concert.

But if she could join Thousand Miles Sunshine, let alone a concert for 800 people, if she had not had too few works and no large entertainment company or agency to back her up, she would now be able to hold a concert for 15000 people at the Budokan, and then perform on the stage of the Red and White Songs Contest with "Sold Out".

In addition, it can be seen from the number of people that it is far from easy to get on the stage of the Budokan.

Even for the top players in the underground band circle, there is still a huge gap between them and the level of being able to enter the Budokan.

As for the Tokyo Dome, which can accommodate 55000 spectators, it is a place that even top-tier singers would have to consider carefully.

From this we can also see how amazing it is that Hoshino Ai, who did not have the support of a big agency in the original story, started from almost zero after her comeback, and it took her only four years to get on the Dome stage with her three teammates who were a burden.

This is why she can be called a legendary idol. Even though she has been dead for more than ten years, the news that she had a child out of wedlock can quickly become a hot search headline.

In one band, there is the legendary idol Hoshino Ai, the human plug-in Iura Hide, plus Pochi-chan and Yamada Ryo. It is obvious that even a tied pig can be led to fly.

This was probably what An He Subaru was thinking when he looked at Ichichi Hongxia at this moment.

There is no doubt that Ijichi Hongxia is the pig that was taken away in her eyes.

"Damn it! A band only needs one drummer, unlike guitarists who can have multiple ones. Judging from the relationship between Ijichi Kouka, Iura-san and others, even if I am better than her, I can't replace her. How can I join Iura-san's band?"

An Hesuba couldn't help but touch his chin, put on a thoughtful expression, and started thinking hard.

At the same time, Iura Hide took the initiative to ask Pochi-chan and the others, "Do you want to practice this song?"

"Huh? Practicing this song?" Ijichi Hongxia exclaimed in surprise.

"Yeah, there's no rush for "You Are the One" anyway."

“But this song doesn’t have any lyrics yet.”

"Then there's no need for lyrics. Xiao Ai should go and take a rest first~"

Although he said he wanted to ask for the opinions of Ijichi Kouka and the others, it was obvious that Iura Hide wanted to practice this song. After all, practicing "You Are the One" would be useless without some accompaniment. If he didn't practice "Distortion!!" to kill time, would he have to hold a tea party whenever he had time like a certain light music club?

"OK then!"

Seeing that he had said so, everyone stopped raising objections, and after having Yamada Ryo give everyone a copy of the music score, they began to practice with the music score. Now that no one had memorized the score, it finally looked like a "high school band".

Otherwise the level is always so high, which really puts a lot of pressure on Reika Kawahara in the audience!

Even Ijichi Hoshika was secretly glad that she retired early, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for her to be outdone by a few high school or even junior high school students who had just debuted at such an old age.

At the same time, because there were too many mistakes, I stumbled and tried to be serious, but I couldn't be serious, so the practice process seemed more like playing around.

Hoshino Ai, who didn't need to sing, and Sugaya Noha, who was originally in the audience, immediately moved to Iura Hide's left and right when they saw this.

Mashiro watched this scene a beat late, and although her facial expression didn't change, the straw in her mouth had several more rows of imprints.

As for Momoka Kawaharaki, who was still memorizing the music score, she felt even more envious.

Not only is the level high, the atmosphere within the band is also so good, she really wants to join such a band!!!
"But why do I feel like those girls all like Jing Pu-san?"

"Does it mean that only if you like Jingpu-san can you be accepted into his band?"

"Then should I?"

Even though she usually had a cheerful personality like a boy, at this moment, Kawaharaki Momoka was still shocked by the bold idea that suddenly popped up in her head, and her face turned red unconsciously.

Fortunately, An and Subaru, like the others, were focused on Iura Hide and the others on the stage and did not notice her abnormality.

Just because she couldn't control the random thoughts in her head, her speed of memorizing the music, which was not very fast to begin with, suddenly slowed down a lot.

It was not until Jingpu Xiu and the others finished their "practice" and stopped to rest with sweat on their foreheads that she could only memorize it with great difficulty.

"Do you want to play it for Iura-san now?"

"If I were to play it for Iura-san, I would probably get nervous uncontrollably. But with this level of familiarity, I'm sure I'd make mistakes."

"But, it's been over an hour. If I still can't memorize it, it will also lower Iura-san's impression and evaluation of me, right?"

Momoka Kawaharaki finally stopped the random thoughts in her head and looked at the music score in her hand, with a conflicted light flashing in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Jingpu-san, I haven't memorized the music score well yet, please give me some more time."

Finally, Momoka Kawahara took a deep breath, and when Hide Iura and the others passed by, she suddenly stood up, bowed 90 degrees, and spoke loudly, which scared Hide Iura and the others who were discussing what drinks to drink.

Yes, after thinking quickly in her head, she decided that it would be better to go slower to ensure that there would be no mistakes when playing.

This way, she can at least get a positive evaluation of "although she is a fool, at least her attitude is serious", and will not leave an unreliable impression on Iura Hide.

But her worries were obviously unnecessary.

After realizing that Pochi-chan's speed was just an exception, Iura Hide no longer expected her to memorize the music score proficiently in a short period of time. How could he think she was a fool?

"No, no, I should be the one saying sorry." Jingura Hide came back to his senses and quickly waved his hands and said.

"I just thought about it carefully and decided to put off the song "You Are the One" until next Saturday before performing it on stage, so Kawahara-san doesn't have to be so anxious."

After hearing this, Kawahara Ki Momoka was slightly stunned at first, then felt a little disappointed, but also relieved.

If Iura Hideo merely postponed the performance time of "If You Are the One", she would still worry that Iura Hideo was not going to use her anymore.

But Jingpu Xiu specifically comforted her and told her not to be so anxious. Doesn't this mean that she still has a chance?

"Iura-san is such a gentle and kind boy."

Kawahara Ki Momoka couldn't help but think about it, and then, as if she was afraid of being discovered, she quickly lowered her head in a panic.

"You are already a twenty-year-old woman, so don't have any illusions about Jing Pu-san. Jing Pu-san will never be interested in you. You should just practice this song well and try to join Wanli Sunshine!"

Momoka Kawahara hurriedly reminded herself, then suppressed her excitement and exchanged contact information with Iura Hide.

"Then you should prepare for the next few days. We should go to the studio to record this song before the performance next Saturday at the latest, so that we can release it directly after the performance. I'll call you before we go to record."

"Okay, okay!"

Momoka Kawahara was so excited that she couldn't even speak clearly.

Go to the recording studio to record songs! It has been more than two years since she left Comic Market, and she hasn't seen what a recording studio looks like!

"Oh, what about me?" An Hemai at the side raised his hand and asked.

The acting skills that usually annoyed her were used to their full potential at this moment. That smile looked very friendly, and even Hoshino Ai couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful look.

If it were her in the original story, she would definitely learn it at this moment so that she could also show such a friendly and natural fake smile.

But now she doesn't need it anymore.

Turning around to look at Jingpu Xiu beside me, the smile brought by genuine happiness, joy and sweetness can touch the heart far more than this fake smile.

"Of course Anhe-san and Kawahara-san are together."

"That's great. I'm really looking forward to performing on stage with the Thousand Miles Sunshine Band." An Hesuba's face suddenly broke into a bright smile.

Then he took the initiative to say sensibly, "Then I will go back with He Yuan to prepare first and won't disturb you anymore."

"Well, bye~"

"Bye!" An Hesuba smiled and waved, then said playfully: "Of course, we won't miss the performance tonight~"

After saying that, she didn't wait for Iura Hide to say anything else and pulled Kawahara Ki Momoka, who looked reluctant and obviously unwilling, towards the door.

"Then I'll take my leave first!" Rika Kawahara on the side bowed slightly and hurriedly followed.
