Joker's Band Game Story

It was quite a coincidence, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to teach her.

It's hard to say. If she asks about the drummer when I'm not around, and Hongxia hears her, she'll definitely recommend me too.

So this connection seems more like an inevitable one? I hope it's not a tragic one.

Once we arrive at our destination, we checked the time again. It was a little past two o'clock, so we could have lunch first.

Amamiya didn't get up early because he had stayed up late the night before and spent a lot of time composing music, so he got up late and ate lunch late as well.

‘Ding dong~’

"Come on~"

Ren Amamiya stood at the door and noticed someone looking at him through the peephole. After confirming his identity, the person opened the door and said, "Ohayo~ You're right on time. Come on in, come on in."

Miaomeng wore a little dress today, seemingly trying to go for a pure and innocent style, but unfortunately her face doesn't suit this style.

After greeting her with a "good morning," Ren Amamiya took off his shoes in the entryway.

"Come here~ come here~ these slippers I bought especially for you~ No man has ever entered Miaomeng's room before~ You're the first one~ Feel lucky!"

"Yes, thank you so much, Miaomeng, for allowing me to come to your home."

Ren Amamiya also played along with Meowmu, putting his hands together to express his gratitude.

However, how much sincerity is contained in this gratitude is another matter entirely.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ren Amamiya followed Nekomu to her room.

Meow's house wasn't very big. In the living room, Ren Amamiya immediately spotted the drum set.

"Are you planning to wear this to play the drums later?"

Looking at Nyanmu's outfit, how could Ren Amamiya not guess what she was up to?

I'm planning to record a video, edit it, and post it online to make money. Otherwise, who would dress like this at home for no reason? You can wear pajamas if you can, or short sleeves and shorts if you can. Wearing a skirt is too inconvenient.

"Hehe, is that not allowed?"

Meow Dream asked with a grin, to which Amamiya Ren simply shook his head: "Whatever, I need to check on your drum first."

"Good~"

Since Ren Amamiya didn't object, Nekomu naturally agreed with a smile.

While Ren Amamiya was adjusting the drums, Meowme was fiddling with her phone, planning to start recording a video later.

"Seriously, is it really not allowed to show any skin at all? I think it should be fine if I just don't show my face, right?"

"You really are, all you ever think about is yourself."

Ren Amamiya, who was testing the drumsticks, couldn't help but say something after hearing what Nyanmu said.

Of course, this lighthearted remark had no effect on Miaomeng, who continued with a grin, "After all, who doesn't want more money, meow~"

"Maybe next time, let's skip this one."

"Eh~ Are you shy?"

"If you don't meet my expectations, I won't come next time. I don't want you to get something for free."

Ren Amamiya's words made Nyanmu pout, and only then did she remember what she had discussed with Ren Amamiya before.

So you were waiting for me here, huh?!

You bastard, huh!

"Okay, okay, then try the drums now!"

Ren Amamiya ignored Nyanmu's tantrum and simply performed a set of moves.

Watching Ren Amamiya's skillful movements, Nekomu couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah~ That's amazing~ So incredible~"

After tapping it a few times, Ren Amamiya confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the drum. It seemed that the person who came in to assemble it had indeed done a good job.

What? You're asking if it's possible that MeowDream created it themselves?

Amamiya thought it was unlikely; the probability was low. He didn't believe a woman like Meowmeng would have that much perseverance.

Of course, if she really assembled it herself, then Amamiya would have to treat her differently.

"Shall we begin?"

"Hmm, tell me how you used to practice, and then after warming up, play a piece to my rhythm so I can see your level."

Ren Amamiya handed the drumsticks to Nekomu, then got up, grabbed a chair from the side, and sat down next to the drum, intending to watch how Nekomu played it.

For beginners playing drums, it's all about finding the rhythm. Amamiya could tell from the way Meowme held the drumsticks that she had really learned it. The correct posture is a good start.

"Okay, relax, relax. First, we need to warm up."

Playing a musical instrument is just like exercising; it's a form of physical activity, so a proper warm-up is essential.

The key to drumming is to not play with tension; you have to relax and let your muscles relax so that you can easily get injured.

Of course, beginner tutorials can't expect your bpm to jump to 200 or 300 right away. The initial steps are relatively simple, and the key is to first master the sense of rhythm.

A drummer's grasp of beat and rhythm is crucial, and Ren Amamiya plans to spend a day teaching her about that.

After a simple warm-up, Amamiya indicated that she would only play the drums and practice little by little, following the rhythm of her own hands.

"Is this little thing really that important?"

After practicing for almost half an hour, Miao Meng wondered if it was a little too easy.

Can't you practice this yourself? Why do you need Amamiya Ryoumeiji to teach you?

"Think it's easy? Okay, let's move on to the next stage."

Amamiya had already guessed that Nyanmu might lack patience, so he had made all the necessary preparations.

He took out his guitar case and pulled out a set of several songs that he had prepared beforehand.

He wrote all of these at night specifically to teach Miaomeng today.

I originally planned to give it as homework, but since she's in a bit of a hurry, I'll teach her first.

"Then let's start here. Let me see, hmm..."

Soon Ren Amamiya produced a song called "We Will Rock You".

This piece of music is quite famous, but unfortunately it doesn't exist in this world.

For drummers, this is the perfect piece to find rhythm and beat.

"But why doesn't this song have lyrics?"

"Since it's for you to find your rhythm, I didn't write any lyrics."

Actually, it's because this song is in English, and the English proficiency of Japanese people... well, let's not embarrass ourselves. Even Ren Amamiya, who wrote it, didn't want to sing it; they wouldn't understand it.

Normal English communication is already difficult enough, let alone singing with its elision and connected speech. When asked to sing, they can't get the feeling out of it, and when I sing it, they can't understand me. So Ren Amamiya used this piece as a drum practice piece.

"Alright, let's get into a good mindset. Since you said we don't need to practice the previous steps, let's go straight to this one."

As Ren Amamiya spoke, he immediately began preparing to play the guitar. At this moment, Nyanmu panicked again: "Wait, isn't this a bit strange?"

"What's wrong?"

"Why did you start playing music right away?"

"Now that we've mastered the basic rhythm, isn't the next step just to start with the music?"

Ren Amamiya countered with a question, which immediately made Nyanmu's expression become subtle.

"Don't worry, the piece I found for you isn't anything too difficult. Just go for it."

As Amamiya spoke, he picked up his guitar and started playing: "Follow my rhythm, and hit your bass drum."

One two one, one two one, one two one.

Ren Amamiya was strumming his guitar and stomping his feet while muttering to himself. The sheer volume of jumbled information completely overwhelmed Meowme.

"Wait a minute."

Miaomeng interrupted the practice again: "What is the rhythm? Why is it so confusing?"

"Huh? Is it chaotic? It will definitely be like this when it goes on in a competition. You can't expect the lead singer to listen to you play the drums and sing a single word, right? That's why I said you have to remember your rhythm, look at the sheet music, and follow your own rhythm. You are the one in the team who pays the most attention to rhythm, so you can't let others take your rhythm away."

"Okay, let's do it again."

After a quick attempt.

"No, your rhythm is wrong. It's 4/3 time, but you've played it as 4/4. Let's try again."

"Ah...didn't I say I couldn't follow your pace?"

"Then your rhythm is right, everyone is following your rhythm, so your rhythm is right, let's do it again."

"it is good……"

After two hours of practice...

Teacher Da Miao successfully collapsed on the drum set.

Ren Amamiya put the guitar back into its case. He was packing up his things at the moment. "Alright, that's enough for today's practice. You're still not quite there yet when it comes to rhythm. Practice hard this week and send me a short video of your practice every day. I'll check it next week."

"Eh?!"

Upon hearing Ren Amamiya's words, Nyanko suddenly straightened her back: "Could it be... that you're willing to teach me?"

“Although your foundation is too weak, at least you are willing to learn, and you have a lot of talent. I don’t want you to waste it.”

Ren Amamiya carried his guitar to the entrance and started changing his shoes; he was really planning to leave.

"I'll send you the price via Line later. If there are no problems, we'll practice more tonight."

"Wait a minute, what about the video!"

"I don't want to show my face, that's all."

After saying this, Ren Amamiya left Nekomu's house.

Watching Ren Amamiya leave, Nekomo couldn't help but meow: "Really, so cold, so annoying..."

But as she said this, she licked her lips again: "It's not that I dislike it."
