Why do they take Tokyo's boyfriend rental seriously?

Chapter 15 It’s Your Turn (Thanks to Lingye for the tip!)
"Can't you sing this song?"

Sugawara Ryu asked when he saw her surprised look.

"Of course I can sing it. I just feel nostalgic because my class sang this song when we graduated from high school."

Yamabukizuki smiled and shook his head, explaining.

March 3th is Thanksgiving Day, because the pronunciation of 9 and 3 in Japanese is the same as the English word for thanks, which is a pun.

Besides that, March 3th is also the time for high school graduation.

Since the hit song "One Litre of Tears", the warm and touching song "March 3th" has become one of the must-sing songs for everyone's graduation season and wedding day, and it is a very popular song.

"I see."

Realizing that she had sung it before, Sugawara Ryuichi was not surprised.

The reason he chose this song was because he sang it when he graduated from junior high school.

He wanted to know what the same song would look like under the influence of professional talent.

"come on."

Since he rarely comes to karaoke, Yamabukizuki has no objection to his song selection and only encourages him.

At the same time, the second song also started, and Minamida Risa chose "Little Love Song"

This song has dominated the karaoke charts for many years and has an extremely terrifying influence, making it a household name.

Choosing such a popular song is actually a thankless task, because everyone can sing it, so it is difficult to sing it well.

Listening to this song makes Ryuichi Sugawara feel like he went to KTV in his previous life and listened to his friends singing "Friends' Wine", which was a standard program.

What caught his attention more than the lyrics was the screen.

As the birthplace of karaoke, Neon has come up with many new ways to entertain people in karaoke.

Especially the song rating system, it is just like playing a music game. There is a music score on the screen, and every time the notes fly in, there will be a snapshot evaluation, and even a score bonus.

For example, good! great! Perfect! and combo.

In fact, due to copyright protection, singing in karaoke in Neon is quite a challenge.

Because many songs do not have copyright, the store must find another band to provide accompaniment and interludes. There will usually be no backing vocals, but there will be some harmonies.

For example, a phenomenal song like "A Cruel Angel's Thesis" would not be able to fully express its charm without harmony.

After the song was finished, the score was displayed on the screen: 89 points.

"Clap clap clap!"

Seeing this, everyone applauded.

"89 points? Risa, you really tried your best."

At this moment, Miyagi Wakaba Mingkua offered a subtle comfort.

When we all hang out together, playing in peace and quiet is boring. Only competition can spark passion.

"Is your score of 92 impressive? It's only 3 points higher than mine."

Seeing her sarcastic look, Risa Minamida fought back without mercy.

"That's impressive! Even if I'm only 1 point ahead of you, it's still high, not to mention I'm 3 points ahead of you!"

"I hope you do well in your next song."

The sudden quarrel was something Sugawara Ryuichi had not expected, and he looked at him sideways.

"Don't mind them, they're just joking. This level of joke won't hurt anyone."

While Shanbukiyue was enjoying the show, he also did not forget to remind him.

"Ah."

Sugawara Ryuichi thought about it and agreed.

Just like good brothers like to joke and compete with each other to have fun, the same must be true for girls.

"Stop making noise, it's my turn to sing."

At this moment, Asai Mai stood up and took the microphone to stop the farce. As she left her seat, a guitar chord sounded, and the karaoke screen also showed the song title "Ai Shi Zi Yo"

"Isn't this a yandere divine song..."

When he saw the title of the song, Sugawara Ryuichi suddenly realized something.

Although the song "Dear Baby" is not as popular and well-known in Japan as the previous two songs, it is a song with a very unique style.

The music has a simple style and a unique atmosphere. The lyrics seem gentle and full of love, but they are terrifying when you think about it carefully.

In this performance of this song, Mai Asai dances while singing about love. Although most of the movements are hand movements, it is very enjoyable to watch.

As she started to sing, the box became very quiet.

Because the style of this song is so weird, different from the sacredness of "Cruel Angel" and the cheerfulness of "Little Love Song", coupled with the passionate singing of Mai Asai, it reveals a feeling that is both charming and terrifying.

"Don't resist. Come on, leave everything to me. Only I can help you survive."

"Tear your wings to pieces and throw them away, and I hope you can never fly anywhere again."

With the singing of the bass, the song also came to an end.

"Clap clap clap!"

When she finished singing, there was a burst of warm applause in the box.

Everyone was applauding, not just out of support, but from the heart.

"Mai, did you sneak in to practice karaoke while everyone was away? Your singing was amazing this time!"

Although competition is necessary for fun, Miyagi Wakaba was really impressed by the singing.

"I can't help it. You guys are all busy, so I can only come to karaoke by myself."

Asai Mai did not deny it, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"What's your highest score?"

"95 points."

"Amazing!"

“Is 95 points impressive?”

Hearing their exclamations, Sugawara Ryuichi approached Yamabukizuki and asked.

This was his second time at the karaoke bar today and he was unfamiliar with everything here.

"Of course it's amazing. Karaoke is graded on several levels. Anything below 80 is considered failing. Above 80, you might occasionally be off-key, but you'll be able to keep up with the beat and pitch of the song. Above 90 is excellent, with both emotion and technique being excellent, and no obvious mistakes. A score of 95 or above means you can perform on the street—it's so good that people will stop and listen to you."

Seeing that he didn't understand, Yamabuki Tsuki explained it to him in a simple and detailed manner.

"What level is 100 points?"

"Impossible level... It's said that even if the original singer came, the karaoke scoring system wouldn't give a perfect score. In theory, a score of 100 would be on par with the original singer, or even surpass him."

"I see."

After listening to her explanation, Ryuichi Sugawara had a general understanding of the karaoke scoring system.

"Don't worry, it's your turn."

Seeing his sudden realization, Yamabukizuki gently pushed his arm.

"Eh?"

Ryuichi Sugawara, who was still thinking, was pushed by her and was a little confused.

Isn't that right? According to the order, shouldn't Yamabuki Tsuki sing first?
"Hey, what? You're in front of me."

Noticing that he also had a confused reaction, and obviously caught off guard, Shan Chuiyue's eyes curved up and he couldn't help but smile.

"Ok."

Seeing her smirk, Sugawara Ryuichi didn't care too much and just stood up with his hands on his knees.
