Joker's Band Game Story

Tao Xiang pouted and quickly went to take a shower by herself.

After all, she herself couldn't stand the smell on her body; the smell of the drink still lingered on her hair and body, and after fermenting overnight, it had started to go bad.

While Momoka was taking a bath, Amamiya started making breakfast. After eating breakfast, Amamiya handed the dishes that needed washing to Momoka and then went to school.

On his way to school, he received a message from Ai Yin saying that Li Xi had finished composing the piece and that they would be rehearsing it today.

Is it finished? That's really fast.

Amamiya couldn't help but sigh, "Let's go check out RiNG tonight."

"Ah!"

On the Hanasaki River, Riki couldn't help but sneeze. She didn't know why, but she felt that nothing good was going to happen.

"What's wrong? Do you have a cold?"

Hailing strolled over with the milk jelly at this moment. Seeing Lixi's appearance, she placed the unopened milk jelly on her table and asked her what was wrong.

She was always watching Lixi, who was sitting in front of her, and she would appear by Lixi's side immediately if Lixi encountered any problems.

Therefore, she noticed that the other person sneezed and guessed that she might have caught a cold, and that the cold medicine in her bag might come in handy.

"No."

Lixi turned her head to look at Hailing; she just had an itchy nose and suddenly felt like sneezing.

However, after noticing the milk pudding, she also began to look at Hailing and chatted with her about her new band: "How's your relationship with the new band lately?"

"Oh, it's not bad, everyone's been pretty friendly."

Hai Ling casually replied that she didn't have much of an opinion about the new band.

Commercial bands, how much emotion can they have? Besides, she always had Lian in her heart, so naturally she wouldn't care much about the current band.

However, she is also responsible for handling a lot of things for the band, such as planning and arranging the next performance, shooting advertisements and game activities (II) O玐吴⊙镹2 (III)镏久 etc. She is handling all aspects of things.

She has always had a strong desire for control, and in this respect she is very similar to Li Xi.

Otherwise, why would she like Lixi so much? She saw her own reflection in Lixi; she used to have the same personality as Lixi.

But the painful lessons she learned in junior high school taught her how to communicate with others, and she became more tactful.

Therefore, looking at Lixi reminded her of her former self, the one who focused on the issue, not the person, and was solely dedicated to the band.

She would appear when Lixi needed her help, solve her problems, and allow her to properly build a happy band.

After all... the past me is dead, but I want to cherish the present you.

It's like protecting my past self...

Chapter 47 Amamiya's Lightning-Fast Composition

"What are you doing here?"

At RiNG, Riki looked at Ren Amamiya, who was drinking coffee milk, with a displeased expression. Meanwhile, Momoka, who was at the front desk, was busy washing cups with a toothpick in her mouth.

That's right, Riki was working the night shift today, so she planned to rehearse for a while before going to work. But when she met up with the band members, she discovered that Amamiya was also there.

Her mood soured immediately, and her expression toward Amamiya became less friendly.

"You wanted to play 'Eight Spirits (Seven)' together, so here you are. What, is this another band gathering... Is the song finished?"

Amamiya calmly countered with a question. He already knew that Riki had finished composing the song, which was why he had come to listen and see how Riki's new song was doing.

He was quite curious about what kind of version of the piece Lixi would create.

"Okay, it's done."

Upon hearing Amamiya mention the new song, Ritsuki's expression immediately turned sour.

There was no other reason than that she didn't think her writing of "The Flag Zero Affairs Department" was very good.

She felt somewhat dissatisfied that the piece she had spent an entire day composing felt like something Amamiya could have done in less than an hour.

Of course, she wasn't dissatisfied with Amamiya, but with herself; she felt she was still too weak.

"Wow, that's amazing! Although I still don't quite understand it..."

Ai Yin, standing to the side, couldn't help but marvel. Looking at the sheet music in front of her, she could only sense how impressive it was.

But she didn't know exactly how powerful it was; as long as she couldn't understand it, then it was powerful.

Naturally, her praise had no effect whatsoever, at least in Lixi's eyes it was utterly useless.

As for the others, Deng was seriously looking at the sheet music, trying to understand how she should sing.

The cat doesn't know anything. She just plays whatever she sees, so she's currently eating a matcha parfait. If you ask her, she'll say she's already seen it all and knows how to play it.

As for Shuang Shi...

"It feels a bit like the one Lian played before."

She did notice this, and as the melody swirled in her mind, she realized that the first line Amamiya had hummed was very similar to the one Riki had composed.

She could even say the exact same line that she taught Aine back then.

"It's normal. When you see the lyrics and the music, it's easy to make connections. Especially since the lyrics by Deng have a very strong style, naturally many types of music are not suitable for these lyrics."

Amamiya wasn't surprised at all; this kind of situation was perfectly normal.

He was trying to make amends for Lixi, but Lixi was somewhat unhappy.

Because she knew that she couldn't shake the memory of Amamiya humming those few lines from the song she had heard back then.

It must be admitted that his composing skills are very strong; he can immediately think of a melody just by looking at the lyrics. In Li Xi's opinion, this is just as terrifying as Xiangzi's.

She couldn't sing the lyrics in her head immediately when she saw them, which is why she felt she wasn't good enough and needed to work harder.

"Now that you've finished watching, let's get ready to practice."

Lixi didn't want to stay there any longer, so she immediately told everyone to go practice. As the team leader, she had a lot of authority in these band matters, and everyone was willing to listen to her. They went to the practice room with her to start practicing.

Amamiya continued drinking coffee and milk while writing lyrics, while Momoka craned her neck to watch him create: "You've started writing again?"

"Yeah, I took on a job writing the ending theme for a TV series."

"It's kind of scary, I always see you writing lyrics."

"After all, I write when I feel like it; sometimes it's work, and sometimes it's a hobby."

It's true that he felt that way; he had indeed listened to a lot of songs in his past life. As someone who plays in a band, he had to be more professional, especially with foreign songs, which he had to appreciate and learn from in order to improve.

So now, for various reasons, he suddenly has an idea and starts creating. His user, 'Kurasu Akatsuki,' has even created hundreds of songs, which is quite a lot.

Even so, he continued to tirelessly create new songs.

"Really? You're really working hard. No wonder you compose so quickly."

"Practice makes perfect."

Why is Amamiya able to compose a piece so quickly? Because he's so skilled at it. When he sees the lyrics, he immediately thinks of the melody. With a melody as the core idea, he can expand his thinking and create a whole piece of music.

Many songs have top-tier lead or chorus vocals, perhaps because the core melody is in the corresponding position, thus branching out and gradually forming a song.

Of course, different people have different ways and styles of composing music. At least Amemiya's approach is to gradually write lines, create surfaces, and form volumes from points.

"Are you showing off your skills?"

After Amamiya finished composing the piece, Momoka had also finished looking at it. Looking at the piece, she couldn't help but ask Amamiya for his thoughts.

"what?"

"Huh? What kind of TV series has an ending theme that's so fancy?"

"What's it called... 'Did You See That Peacock?' Master Anhe asked me to help him with it."

"Oh~ Anwa Tendo."

Because she already knew that Amamiya knew Anwa and Tendo, Momoka was not surprised at all. She couldn't help but sigh, admiring how Amamiya, a high school student, could already thrive in society.

Everyone has their own lifestyle, and Amamiya can easily live in her comfort zone. She really won't have to worry about money in the future; this ending theme song alone will probably earn her a lot of money.

"Should we invite other people to sing then?"

"That is indeed quite difficult, but it has nothing to do with me anyway. I only care about composing."

Amamiya didn't bother to think about who should sing the song; he was fine with singing it himself, as long as the money was right.

While the two were chatting, Amamiya was also working on the piece, and by the time the members of mygo came out of the practice room, he had almost finished it.

"Teacher Lian is composing music again? Hey! Is it almost finished? (Three) & Sulfur (Nine)"

Aine looked at Amamiya Ren's tablet, which was almost fully configured. She remembered that when she first arrived, Amamiya was just about to start writing. How come he was almost finished now?

These words made Lixi, who was about to go to the changing room to change her clothes, shudder. She couldn't help but bite her lip, looking quite unwilling.

Is it really possible for mygo to write a new song in just this short period of practice? Damn it...

Suddenly, her sense of inferiority weighed on her again, like a gravitational field, making her feel incredibly bad.

No one else noticed her change in mood. They just chatted for a bit after they came out and then went home.

Aine returned the lamp, as Riki had to go to work and couldn't deliver it. Meanwhile, Souse said goodbye to Amamiya and went home.

Although she wanted to stay with Amamiya a little longer, she could tell that Amamiya seemed to want to say something to Ritsuki, so she wisely left.

As for Momoka, she went to the changing room to change clothes because Riki was getting ready for work.

There weren't many customers around, and with Rinrinko-san still there, she decided to go home.

In the changing room, she saw Lixi changing clothes. His face was so dark that Taoxiang couldn't help but click her tongue twice.

"What are you clicking your tongue for?"

Lixi was annoyed when he suddenly heard the annoying voice, and he turned around and glared at Taoxiang in annoyance.

But Tao Xiang and Li Xi had known each other for a long time, so how could she not know about Li Xi's stupid temper? She just scoffed, "You don't think it's shameful that you can't compare to Lian, do you?"

"What does it have to do with you."

Lixi still wouldn't speak properly, and her gaze still looked like she could devour someone.

Clearly, she's refusing to communicate right now, and since Momoka's words sound like she's just watching the show, she's even less likely to give her a friendly look.
