"What if Yue Jianyingzi formed a band with the two of them?"

I don’t know if it’s because bands and groups are too popular, or because Japanese culture inherently rejects being alone and prefers to stick together.

Although with the development of streaming media, there are more and more independent singers and online singers, but in offline performances, most exhibition halls still prefer to invite bands and idol groups to perform, and habitually exclude independent singers.

The ratio of bands, idols and independent singers is probably as exaggerated as 97:3.

Only when performing in bars will there be more independent singers.

But, is the purpose of going to a bar to watch a performance to listen to the music?
Therefore, if she forms a band, it will be a good thing for Tsukimi Eiko to perform in other exhibition halls, music festivals, and even hold concerts in the future.

However, in this case, part of Tsukimi Eiko's income will have to be divided between Kawaharaki Momoka and Yasuwa Subaru.

After thinking about it, Iura Hide decided to let Tsukimi Eiko make the decision herself, so he turned around and waved to Tsukimi Eiko who was not far away, calling her over.

"Yingzi-chan, would you like to form a band with them?"

Jingura Hide first told her directly the pros and cons of forming a band, and then talked about the profit sharing ratio.

"The ratio for digital singles remains the same. If it's a song that the agency custom-made for you, Eiko-chan's share will still be 10%, and Subaru and Kawase's share will be 1%."

Upon hearing this profit sharing ratio, Tsukimi Eiko's expression remained unchanged, but An Hesuba and Kawaharaki Momoka showed surprised expressions.

Of course, the two of them didn’t think that the share ratio was too low, but rather that it was a bit high.

As mentioned before, artists under the agency who are pure singers can only get 3% to 8% of the revenue from digital single sales and 0.9% of the revenue from physical CD sales.

As for readily available substitutes like guitarists and drummers, digital singles typically earn just 0.5% of sales revenue.

This is also the reason why many bands would rather be independent bands than sign with an agency.

Because although signing the contract will increase your popularity, you will lose your freedom, and your income may not increase much.

Iura Hideichi gave Tsukimi Eiko 10% and 1% to the two of them right from the start, which doubled the amount.

However, what surprised them even more was yet to come.

"As for offline performances, commercial performances, physical CDs, and peripheral sales, the agency only takes 20% to maintain operating costs, so the two of them will have to deduct their share from yours."

"What? The agency only takes 20%!? Are you sure this isn't the wrong thing???"

When An He Subaru and Kawaharaki Momoka heard the profit sharing ratio, their eyes widened and they almost exclaimed in surprise.

Although Japan's artist agencies are not as cruel in exploiting their artists as Korea, they are much more cruel than those in neighboring Dragon Country.

It is considered merciful for the agency to take 80% and the artist to take 20%, but Iura Hide actually went the other way around and let the artist take 80%, while also bearing the operating costs himself. Isn't this too unscrupulous?

"Please, I'm not one of those black-hearted capitalists who would exploit even my friends~" Jing Pu Xiu looked at the shocked expressions of the two people and said with a smile.

At this time, Yue Jianyingzi also smiled innocently and said: "He Yuan-san and An He-san are also friends of Master Xiu, so I am willing to form a band with them, and I am willing to deduct a corresponding part of my share for them."

"Then for offline performances including concerts, commercial performances, and peripheral sales, Anhe and Kawahara will each take 5%. As for the share of physical CDs, it will be 3%." Iura Hide was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so he directly determined the ratio for her.

"No problem." An He Subaru and Kawaharaki Momoka looked at each other and agreed without hesitation. Although this share ratio is much lower than that of Tsukimi Eiko, it is much higher than that of artists under other agencies, so they have nothing to be dissatisfied with.

"That's settled then. Kawahara, have you found a place to live now? If not, the office has free dormitories and you can move in. The environment is pretty good." Iura Hide continued.

This undoubtedly made Kawahara Ki Momoka feel very surprised.

Although it was pretty good that she was living with An and Subaru now, even if they were good friends, it was still a bit inappropriate to keep using them for free.

So when I heard that there was such a benefit when joining the firm, I immediately expressed my delight and said that I would move there as soon as possible.

"Besides, I just happen to have a song for you to sing."

As Jingura Hide said this, under the curious and expectant gazes of everyone, he took the pen and paper and started writing quickly.

“When you spread your wings and fly, please make up your mind not to look back.”

"The goal we yearn for is the clear blue sky"

“I have never really understood the taste of sadness, but I have begun to explore the meaning of pain”

"."

That’s right, the song that Iura Hide took out was “The Blue Bird”.

Hoshino Ai's voice is too sweet. Although she can sing, it always lacks a little flavor. In comparison, Tsukimi Eiko's voice is just right.

In addition, Iura Hide also thought of "Gurenjia" and "Zankyou Sanka", which are also very suitable for Tsukimi Eiko to sing.

However, he also planned to have Mashiro finish drawing "April" and Eriri finish drawing "Oreimo" before the two of them work together to bring over "Demon Slayer", so these two songs will have to wait until later.

Before that, he could give them the nuclear explosion song "aLIEz", the flying sword song "Layers", the sword drawing song "βios", and the scabbard song "Last stardust".

In fact, it was precisely because he had so many classics in his mind that were suitable for Tsukimi Eiko to sing and needed to be performed in the form of a band that he hoped that the three of them could form a band.

“Oh, and there’s also Crossing Field!”

After writing the lyrics and music for "Blue Bird", Iura Hide had another burst of inspiration and wrote "Crossing field", the opening song for "Sword".

To be honest, even though everyone already knew that he had amazing "creative talent" and was even praised by the circle as a "super genius high school student" that only appears once in a decade, they were still stunned when they saw this, and they couldn't help but reveal expressions of admiration.

And except for Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Seika, there was a more or less strange look in the eyes of all the others.

Even An and Subaru were no exception. They felt conquered by Iura Hide's talent, and their breathing became slightly rapid.

It was not until Jingpu Xiu finished writing the two songs and handed them the lyrics and music scores that she finally came to her senses. Then she glanced around guiltily, and when she saw that no one noticed, she touched her hot cheeks and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's almost time, let's go straight to the recording studio!"
