Joker's Band Game Story

At this time, Ren Amamiya, like an adult, would ramble on and on, always spouting profound道理 (principles/truths). Faced with this, Nina knew that she should just lower her head and listen obediently.

After all, what he said wasn't wrong. You have to take care of your voice when you're young. If you don't take good care of it and just mess with it, you really won't be able to shout when you get older.

"Thinking about it that way, Nina is really pitiful~"

Subaru was still teasing Nina when the waiter brought over a glass of beer and placed it in front of Momoka: "Are you a trio?"

The waitress was Rupa. She knew Amamiya, so naturally she wouldn't include Amamiya in their band. Her gaze fell on the guitar case placed next to her, and she couldn't help but ask a question.

Hearing this, Momoka took out another business card from her pocket and handed it to the other person: "We happen to have a performance at the Shibuya Music Festival tomorrow. If you'd like to come, please show your support."

"Thank you."

After taking the business card, Rupa went back to help in the kitchen. She handed the card to her teammate, Ebizuka Satoshi, saying, "Did you hear that?"

Did you hear that? There are exactly three of them over there~ With the two of us, that makes five people~

"so what?"

Xiaozhi didn't seem to understand what Rupa meant, or rather, she was pretending not to understand. She asked Rupa a question in return, wanting to hear what Rupa had to say.

Rupa pulled out his band's business card: "We can give them ours too!"

"Let's talk about it after the show."

Compared to Rupa's enthusiasm, Ash seemed more rational. She was very selective in choosing her teammates, and whether someone could meet her standards would depend on tomorrow's performance.

"By the way, you seem to care a lot about that guy, don't you?"

At this moment, Xiaozhi's gaze involuntarily turned to Ren Amamiya, who was drinking orange juice outside. She herself did not realize that there was a hint of sourness in her voice.

"Should we go and get to know him? He's a really skilled mercenary; maybe he can recommend some great teammates for us!"

"No need."

Xiao Zhi replied coolly, as she still had to prepare beef rice for the others.

As for teammates, humph, she can find them without this man.

"Are you jealous?"

"No~"

Ash's obvious jealousy made Rupa secretly cover her mouth and chuckle, but when she looked at Amamiya, her joy faded considerably.

　Is this the last live performance of m留八A氿鷗巴笼事陵呜灵猛?

Rupa wasn't unaware of Amamiya's post; it was precisely because of that post that she decided to watch the performance tomorrow.

Amamiya will surely give them a wonderful performance.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they went to the tram station together. While waiting for the tram, an advertisement caught Tao Xiang's attention.

"Taoxiang, what are you looking at?"

Renna noticed that Momoka seemed to be in a daze. She followed Momoka's gaze and saw the advertisement.

Diamond Dust is back! We hope you'll all support it!

Following that sentence, four lovely and beautiful girls appeared on the screen, their various brightly colored hair attracting a lot of attention.

Does this look like yet another new idol group?

However, one of those four people caught Nina's attention.

Is it an illusion? It must be an illusion, right?

Among the four people, she saw a familiar face, someone she never wanted to see again.

"Hey, stop spacing out, the car's here."

Amamiya reminded the two of his voice, and Momoka and Nina snapped out of their daze and followed him into the carriage under Subaru's strange gaze.

It was already quite late, and there were many empty seats on the tram, so they sat in a row and said their goodbyes at Zoshigaya Station.

Nina lives in Shimokitazawa and needs to transfer in Shibuya. Subaru lives in Shibuya, so the two of them can walk together for a while. Amamiya and Momoka get off at Zoshidani Station and go home together.

"What, still thinking about your teammates?"

On the way back, Amamiya couldn't help but ask, since he had noticed at the tram stop that Momoka had been staring at the billboard.

Although Momoka always said that she had moved on from the past, Amamiya felt that she hadn't.

Having poured so much effort into that band, it's hard to believe that things have turned out this way, and they've gone their separate ways. It doesn't seem like nothing happened at all.

But Momoka was unwilling to say too much. She just shook her head slightly and said, "It's nothing. I was just thinking that they still ended up taking this path."

Their disagreement about their ideals led to their breakup, but they have now successfully transitioned into idols.

Idol groups are not without a future; Sumimi is a clear example, demonstrating that idols are still very active in this world.

But Momoka didn't want to become like that. She didn't want her songs to become those cute, sweet tunes. She wanted to shout out to the world and to her own heart.

It's a difficult road, but she's willing to persevere, and she'll succeed sooner or later.

She has been trying hard to convince herself of this.

"is it?"

Amamiya simply asked a question in return. Now that they were at their doorstep, Amamiya stopped asking questions and opened the door, gesturing for Momoka to come inside: "Get some rest early today. You have to go for an audition tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, don't worry."

After saying goodnight to each other, they went back to their respective rooms to rest.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Amamiya and Momoka changed their clothes and prepared to go out.

I'm going to a live show today, so I naturally need to dress fashionably.

So Amamiya wore a jacket and jeans, while Momoka wore fishnet stockings on one leg and black stockings on the other.

"Your pants are really... interesting."

"What, doesn't it look good?"

Momoka patted her leg and raised an eyebrow at Amamiya: "Want to touch it?"

"Go feel it yourself."

Amamiya rolled her eyes. Listening to Momoka's lewd words, anyone who didn't know better would think that Momoka was going to grope Amamiya.

Do you really enjoy having your legs touched?

"Eh~ Are you shy?"

Momoka draped her arm over Amamiya's shoulder and asked jokingly, but Amamiya just walked straight ahead, almost causing her to lose her balance and fall.

"You really are something else."

Momoka glared at Amamiya with her hands on her hips. She just couldn't understand why Amamiya, who was clearly young and energetic, looked so mature and didn't seem like a young person at all.

She let him touch her thigh, and he didn't react at all?

"Let's go, it's time to get ready for the audition."

The two then took their instruments and set off together, heading towards Shibuya.

The Shibuya Music Festival was on Saturday and Sunday, and there were quite a few people in Shibuya curiously observing the scene.

Although it's called the Shibuya Music Festival, it doesn't actually have as many stages as a typical large music festival. There are only three stages, and they are all about the same size, with no distinction between home and away stages.

After all, the Shibuya Music Festival is free, and you can participate in the auditions as long as you sign up. Amamiya will naturally pass the auditions. He has a lot of connections in the music industry. In addition, he asked a certain money-grubbing fat guy for a favor for this performance, so he skipped the auditions and came directly to perform.

Yes, a true case of someone with connections.

When they arrived in Shibuya, Hailin had already arrived earlier.

The outfit still features a classic leather jacket paired with a red lining, and the pants are a leather skirt and leather boots, giving it a very punk vibe.

Because she didn't participate in yesterday's practice, Hailing arrived extra early today and was very well-behaved.

Besides Hailin, Anwa Subaru was also yawning on a chair nearby. Her home was in Shibuya, so she naturally arrived a little earlier.

She wasn't wearing her school uniform today, since it was a formal performance, so she changed into a white sleeveless top with a suspender skirt, and wore leather shoes with black stockings.

I can't even imagine how smelly her feet must be after she finishes drumming.

Silently breaking free from the thought of the porridge bar in her mind, Amamiya looked around and asked, "Has Nina not arrived yet?"

"I sent a message on the tram, it should be here soon."

Shimokitazawa isn't far from Shibuya, so it won't take her long to get there.

"Shall we practice one last time?"

Hai Ling asked at this moment, wanting to hear everyone's opinions. She hadn't come yesterday and didn't know how the practice went.

"No need, it's less than an hour before we go on stage. We just need to do a sound check, otherwise the lead singer will get nervous. As for the performance... I believe you'll be fine."

Amamiya's words were full of certainty; he believed that Hailin would not make any mistakes.

These words silenced Hailing for a moment; she hadn't expected Amamiya to trust her so much.

"But I still want to make this live performance even better."

"Don't be so nervous, it's not like we'll never play music together again."

Amamiya reached out and patted Hailin's head to reassure her.

After being patted on the head by Amamiya, Hailin calmed down, picked up her bass, and ran off to continue looking at the sheet music.

She was inevitably a little nervous at this moment, so she forgot to tell Amamiya about Shoko looking for her.

"Sorry, sorry, I've arrived."

Renna ran over, panting, and apologized breathlessly.

Actually, she wasn't late; she was just the last one to arrive, which is why she kept apologizing.

"It's okay. Now that you're here, take a good rest. You'll be going on stage for a sound check later, so test your microphone to make sure it's working properly. It would be embarrassing if you couldn't sing because there was no sound."

Amamiya handed Nina a bottle of water and told her to rest for a while. Nina had rushed over after learning on her phone that everyone else had arrived. She was out of breath and needed to calm down.

Amamiya could tell that Nina, the girl who was on stage for the first time, was indeed nervous.

Although An and Subaru, who were also performing on stage for the first time, were very calm, it was understandable that she was a student at a performing arts academy.

"But Lian, you must have quite a few friends, right?"
