Joker's Band Game Story

The happiness expressed regarding what happened yesterday.

She added that she hopes to go even further next time, and that if Amamiya needs it, she can come to her house to do it again, and she will practice her footwork properly.

I think it's unnecessary.

Amamiya put the letter away with a headache. He didn't throw it away, but put it at the very bottom of his drawer.

He didn't want to throw away the letter that carried Tao Xiang's feelings and make her sad, but if he really put it in some conspicuous place and someone found it, he would be in real trouble.

I'm really not a foot fetishist!

Yes, he's just a womanizer.

"Taoxiang, you seem to be in a good mood?"

At this moment, at Nina's house, Nina is watching Momoka humming a song while pressing a tablet. She is currently composing a new piece of music.

Now that all five members of the band are together, it's time to put on a good show and gradually build up the band.

As for why she ended up at Nina's house... her decision to leave Amamiya's house was somewhat impromptu, so she hadn't rented a new place yet. And if you don't rent in advance, it's often difficult to find a place to rent, as real estate agents take a lot of time.

So she had to stay at Renna's house for a while.

"Hmm? I'm alright."

Hearing what Renna said, Momoka was taken aback. She was indeed in a good mood, after all, something very nice had happened yesterday.

However, she naturally wouldn't tell Nina about this, so she simply replied, "After all, our band has finally assembled a bassist and a keyboardist, which brings us one step closer to our goal."

"Yes, we're one step closer to our goal."

Nina couldn't help but sigh, looking out at the blue sky, feeling truly hopeful for the future.

Chapter Four: If you're sick, it's best to see a doctor.

At this moment, the members of ave mujica at the Win-wing Production office are having a meeting.

“Our debut performance clearly attracted a lot of curious attention, but that’s not enough. We need to play more pieces.”

Shoko Toyokawa, the team leader, was currently rallying the group. To her left sat Mutsumi Wakaba and Wakana Yutenji, while to her right sat Hatsuka Mikami and Kairin Hachiman. All four of them were focused on Shoko, listening to her further plans for the future.

"Our current performance is exactly in line with my plan, but in my plan, we should have gained more popularity. However, this is not important, because as long as everyone continues to work steadily, our popularity will only increase."

The speech used a technique of first criticizing and then praising, but such words might only have an effect on Miaomeng among the four people present, because the other three did not care about this.

If Mutsu and Hatsuka are only there because Shoko is there, then Hachiman Kairin is purely a mercenary; she doesn't care about popularity, she's just looking to get paid to do her job.

There was nothing she could do; she felt no sense of belonging to Mujica. Long before Mujica, her heart had already belonged to someone else.

So she really treated this commercial band as a job, working diligently and conscientiously.

"Hailing, what's our itinerary next?"

Xiangzi passed the problem to Hailing, and she transferred the job to Hailing.

Because she doesn't have the energy to take on so many things, and as the team leader, she is also an excellent student at Yuqiu, which means that she can't fall too far behind in her studies.

However, things will soon be a bit easier, because it will be July or August soon, and then there will be a holiday.

But this holiday wasn't for her to relax; her plan was to perform at the Budokan and begin a national tour.

During holidays, many students are on vacation, and the number of young people who listen to music far exceeds that of office workers. They are the front line of idol worship and an important source of box office revenue for performances. She seized this period to develop rapidly.

On the other side, Hailing nodded, stood up, and began to talk about her plans for the future.

She loves this job; the feeling of planning gives her pleasure, like having the whole team in her grasp, like holding the chains that bind everyone else—she is the queen of this band.

She had this desire before, this compulsive possessiveness, which ultimately backfired on her. In junior high school, she was bullied by everyone in the team and stood up on the day of the performance.

If it weren't for Amamiya's help and cooperation during her performance on stage that day, she wouldn't even dare to imagine how terrible that performance would have been.

After that, she chose to support other bands more, diverting her attention and losing interest in regaining that desire.

Coupled with the deliberately chosen sense of unfamiliarity, her relationship with the other bands remained merely a superficial friendship.

But this time, having come to Mujica, I was able to experience that desire again, but...

She no longer felt the same sense of satisfaction as before.

Because there is no lotus in this band.

But if Ren were here... she would probably put on the shackles herself and hand the other end of the chains to the other person...

Why does she feel she likes him? It's because he's special.

The other person's presence has suppressed this desire, allowing me to briefly enjoy the pleasure of being controlled.

Although he didn't mean it that way, Hailin just had that feeling. She wanted to be controlled by Amamiya, like a puppet.

She enjoyed it immensely...

That's right. Although she felt that Lixi was like her former self, in reality, Lixi was much more normal than her.

She, or rather, all five people present, were the same; they were all patients. Therefore, this band, which had been carefully selected by Da Xiang, would undoubtedly eventually perish.

"First, let me explain our current situation. We've partnered with the game 'Goddess Band Record' and will be participating in the event for a month. This month is the best time for us to build up our popularity. The second phase of the event starts on the 16th. Before the 16th, we need to record new songs, complete a new photobook, record game music, and create new musical content. After the 16th, we'll start preparing for a brand new performance. This performance will be our first offline show in Tokyo, and we'll also be interviewed by TV Tokyo. The online and offline events will be happening simultaneously. The next week will be our busiest time."

Hailing began to talk about her plans. The whole team was under a lot of pressure regarding the performance, but they needed to have enough popularity to perform at the Budokan in just one month.

Having a strong background isn't enough; you also need popularity and talent to match it. This is crucial for a band's future success, ensuring a packed house at the Budokan.

Indeed, reaching the Budokan, which is the ultimate goal for many bands, is just the first step for Ave Mujica. Their future plans are far from limited to this. Xiangzi's ambitions are huge, and the Budokan alone cannot satisfy her.

"So within a week, we need to complete the scripts for at least three songs and two stage plays, followed by two interviews and a variety show, so Ms. Mitsumi and Ms. Toyokawa will be under a lot of pressure."

Hatsuka Misaki was responsible for writing the lyrics, Shoko Toyokawa was responsible for composing the music, and Shoko Toyokawa was also responsible for the script of the stage play. She was under a lot of pressure, which is why she entrusted the planning of the band to Hailin.

As for the others... Yutenji Wakana's skill level is the worst in the whole team, and she needs to practice drumming hard. As for Wakaba Mutsumi... because of her family, she has very little free time, so she is also very busy.

Even though her parents knew about her joining the band, her extracurricular classes didn't stop, so she was actually juggling the commercial band's performances with her after-school tutoring classes.

Everyone on the team is under a lot of pressure, but according to Xiangzi's plan, they only need to work hard for this one month, and then things will be easier.

Once the first step is achieved, they can slow down and start planning the subsequent steps. The first step must be swift and decisive; what they want is the gimmick of 'reaching the martial arts dojo in a month'.

"The meeting is now adjourned."

At Xiangzi's command, everyone left the meeting room, each with their own tasks to complete.

"Ah... Hatsuko, are you going to be busy again?"

Miao Meng noticed that Sanjiao Chuhua was walking in a different direction than the others, so she asked her a question.

Chu Hua nodded slightly to Miao Meng: "Sumi also has a new job."

"Ah~ I'm so busy~"

Miao Meng couldn't help but sigh, feeling like she was the most 'leisurely' person in the band, not having to do anything.

She did ask Hailing about this, but Hailing's answer was—it's not your turn to step in yet.

So, you don't have any work to do until the first step of the plan is completed? All you have to do is play the drums well, right?

With this in mind, Miaomeng decided to work even harder, not only to improve her drumming skills but also to perform better in her shows.

However, the performance...

Whenever she thinks about performing, Miao Meng can't help but recall that open class at school.

Amamiya's performance shocked her; she had never studied acting, yet she performed so brilliantly.

"Why... can he do it so well..."

Miao Meng clenched her fists involuntarily, the image of Amamiya always appearing in her mind.

Even though his performance wasn't that great, and even though she could tell that Amamiya's performance wasn't as amazing as those award-winning actors.

But... why was he not nervous at all? Facing Anhe Tiantong, that movie queen and that national-level artist, he was able to handle it with great composure and was not overwhelmed by her at all.

His talent is terrifying; he just hasn't had the opportunity to study. He's a performing genius whose potential has been wasted.

But Miao Meng was under immense pressure because she met a genius of her own age, a true genius, one who could truly convince her.

A new idea popped into her mind at some point.

If... if Ren could perform on stage... if he actually did perform on stage... if I could participate in a performance with him...

That would be such an exciting thing!

She was so jealous of Amamiya's talent, yet she was also so infatuated with it.

She herself was unaware of her own illness.

Where is Amamiya, whom she keeps mentioning? She's in the office.

He was chatting with Junta Mana at that moment.

"I never expected that we would be collaborating again this time. This is wonderful!"

Mana chatted happily with Amamiya, she hadn't expected that the agency would invite him again this time.

Amamiya was somewhat surprised, but it made sense. He and Sumimi had collaborated many times, so it was only natural to ask him to compose music.

However, due to the 'special nature' of his compositions, Sumi doesn't always approach him directly. Sometimes, the agency also needs to license these songs to other companies for promotional purposes. Since Amamiya's songs cannot be bought outright, the agency is reluctant to approach him and only asks for his help when there is no other way.

But this time it was indeed a bit strange. The agency actually took the initiative to contact Amamiya, and they were particularly easy to talk to this time about ownership, without any objections at all. This made Amamiya even wonder if they had changed genders.

Perhaps it's simply because she's gotten used to being rejected by herself so many times? Amamiya didn't understand.

"This is pretty much the new song. Take a look at it first."

"Hey~ Let's watch it together when Chu Hua gets here~"

Mana still thinks about Hatsuka. Hatsuka is currently running between Sumi and Mujica, which is indeed tiring, but as her companion, Mana continues to encourage and support her.

She joined Sumimi because she saw more smiles on Hatsuka's face, and she loved smiles. She wanted to bring more smiles to everyone.

Her gaze fell on the sheet music that Amamiya had placed on the table. She only glanced at the title of the song before she could roughly guess that it was another song that would be very suitable for Sumi.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Chu Hua pushed open the door at this moment and hurriedly said. Mujica's meeting had gone a little longer than usual, making her time even more pressing. However, she was only two minutes late, which was insignificant.

But when Chu Hua pushed open the door and saw the musician she was collaborating with, she was taken aback: "Amamiya? It's you?"
