Joker's Band Game Story

"Seriously, aren't we supposed to be looking at the lyrics? Why do we need to see Boqi-chan's autograph?!"

"But that's amazing! To come up with a signature style with two digits, I have to say, as expected of Boqi-chan."

When Pochi heard their words, her face flushed and the corners of her mouth turned up.

"I don't think they were praising me."

Hongxia, on the other hand, was more normal. She thought that Pochi-chan must have mistaken their words for praise, so she started to get a little carried away.

However, disturbed by Kita, the two stopped looking at the autographed document and continued reading.

After flipping through a few pages, they also saw the latest lyrics written by Boqi Jiang.

However, the lyrics made them feel a little...

"Are you satisfied with these lyrics, Pochi-chan?"

Ren and Ryo exchanged a glance before their eyes turned to Pochi-chan.

Liang's question brought Boqi back to his senses.

Her head drooped unconsciously: "I think it has the feel of a popular band, not bad, right..."

"It looks a bit fake."

Ren Amamiya didn't continue to question Pochi, but instead directly stated his opinion.

His words also made Kita, who was standing next to him, exclaim in surprise.

"Really? I think these lyrics are actually pretty good..."

"It's too mainstream."

Ren Amamiya gave a direct answer: "These lyrics, which seem to be produced on an assembly line, have no feeling at all and completely lack the characteristics of Pochi-chan."

"feature?"

"Yeah, it's just empty talk. These lyrics have no soul, no central theme. This kind of song is like something written just to appease everyone... It doesn't have any of Pochi-chan's characteristics."

After being told this by Ren Amamiya, Pochi-chan lowered her head completely. She hadn't expected that she would write such lazy lyrics.

"Sorry, I……"

"So take it back and rewrite it."

Ren Amamiya closed the notebook and handed it back to Pochi-chan: "Although I just said I shouldn't offer my opinion, it's obvious that your lyrics are terribly wrong. As a lyricist and composer, there's something I have to tell you."

After watching Bochi-chan take the notebook, Amamiya Ren continued, "You should write what you truly want to write, write what your heart truly cries out, instead of pandering to the masses in a vulgar way. So please rewrite it, tear up this piece of paper completely, and write out what truly belongs to you."

Chapter Sixty: So cute, it's like holding a dream! Apologies.

Is it a real... scream?

Boqi looked down at the lyrics she had written in her notebook.

Dreams can definitely come true; never give up until the very end!

"Your dreams will surely come true. Believe it, stand up, and keep moving forward!"

Yes, how can lyrics that have no soul be sung?

The moment Boqi realized that she had intended to give this song to other members of the band to play, she immediately understood how big a mistake she had made.

She immediately knelt on the ground and began to bow deeply to the crowd in apology: "Sumimasai! I shouldn't have given out such garbage lyrics for everyone to play! It's so despicable!"

"You don't need to overreact like that! Get up, get up right now!"

Hongxia quickly helped Boqi up. It was just a mistake; there was no need for such a grand gesture.

"Ah, it's okay. After all, it's your first time writing lyrics, so it's normal to have a lot of concerns."

Instead, Ren Amamiya quickly waved his hands and said, "So just don't make the same mistake next time. I don't think Ending Band is a vulgar band. You guys should have your own soul and sing out what you truly want to say."

"Yes!"

After a simple word of encouragement from Ren Amamiya, Pochi's attitude immediately underwent an unprecedented change. She stood up straight, closed her eyes, and answered loudly, making Ren Amamiya want to shout back, "Good, very energetic!"

However, he didn't say it aloud, because Kita suddenly raised his hand and asked, "Excuse me! Then why is there such a big difference in the styles of your songs, Ren-nii?"

"Since this is Boqi's first time writing lyrics, it's normal for her to make this kind of mistake. Lyrics come from the heart, so there's one thing you need to be clear about—you absolutely cannot go against your conscience."

"So, Brother Lian, you've ever thought of yourself as rain? That's so romantic!"

At this moment, Kita clasped his hands together in front of his chest, his eyes shining as he looked at Ren Amamiya and asked him for his thoughts on his composition.

After all, one of the songs he was going to perform was called "I Am the Rain," sung by Kita. Naturally, she felt that the song didn't quite sound like the one written by Ren-nii, and it felt a bit out of place.

Ryo, on the other hand, knew Ren Amamiya better. She walked over to Ren and patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry, Ren's compositions have a wide variety of styles. He can even write cute songs."

"Huh?! Cute style?! Does Brother Lian secretly think he's cute?"

After Ryo said that, Kita became more concerned about what Ren Amamiya was thinking. Ren Amamiya cooperated by pointing two index fingers to his cheeks and saying in a cute way, "That's right, I'm cute."

Even as he said this, his voice became slightly hoarse.

It has to be said that different people react differently to this statement.

If Kita were to say it, she would find her truly adorable. If Ryo were to say it, she would find it somewhat sleazy. If Pochi were to say it… she wouldn't find it cute at all.

But Ren Amamiya exudes a charmingly contrasting cuteness, which makes Kita involuntarily twist his body and exclaim, "Ah! I want to hear it! Ren-nii, please sing a couple of lines of this type of song!"

At this moment, she was like a little fangirl, embellishing whatever appearance Ren Amamiya made to the extreme, her eyes practically sparkling with pink hearts.

While others had mixed opinions about Ren Amamiya's deliberately cutesy performance, they certainly wouldn't refuse to listen to his songs.

Ren Amamiya had no choice but to pick up her guitar and prepare to sing a few lines to give them a general idea.

"Okay, then I'll sing a couple of lines from the song I once wrote for Sumi, 'I'm Sorry for Being So Cute,' for everyone."

Clearing his throat, Ren Amamiya then began to play the piece on his guitar.

As soon as the guitar starts playing, the cheerful feeling is immediately apparent, proving that this song is indeed a perfect and adorable tune.

Naturally, handing it over to the popular idol group sumimi would be no problem at all.

'I love myself, what's wrong with that? Are you jealous?'

'You said I was shameful and weird, but I can't hear you~ that's your answer.'

The moment the cheerful lyrics, which were completely out of character for Ren Amamiya, were sung, everyone immediately felt an indescribable sense of unease.

Apart from a certain red-haired girl who was so obsessed with idol worship that she had become overly idealized, everyone else found it very strange, since the lyrics would be perfectly fine if Kita sang them.

Just looking at the lyrics, you might think it's something a quirky and cute girl would say, but the fact that it's spoken by a male voice makes it seem a bit strange, even though Ren Amamiya is trying his best to be cute.

But this strange feeling is like magic; it's acceptable and not repulsive.

Wearing my favorite dress and doing my favorite makeup.

I styled my hair in a classic half-updo, headed out with a parasol—even alone, I was happy!

The voice was cheerful and clear, and Pochi-chan's eyes widened involuntarily. She seemed to see an incomparably krkrdkdk posture in Amamiya Ren.

This, this is the true protagonist of sunshine! Compared to it, my own lyrics seem so empty, hollow, and fake.

Is this the cry from the heart? Is this a song with a soul?

In front of Bochi, a chibi version of Ren Amamiya, dressed in a dress, with her hair half-up and wearing cute makeup, appeared and started jumping in circles.

'Chirp! I'm so sorry I'm so cute! I'm sorry I was born cute!'

'Tsk! I'm so sorry for using such a subtle tactic! Do you care about me a lot? I'm so sorry!'

The adorable onomatopoeic word "chirp" perfectly captures this image. The lyrics are not difficult, quite catchy, and you can sing along with the rhythm after just one listen.

So Ren Amamiya invited Kita to sing along with him during the interlude.

It's no wonder that sumimi chose to sing this song; it's incredibly popular for idols, especially since Junda Mana, who is known for her cute style, perfectly matches the song.

What the band didn't know was that when Ren Amamiya wrote this song, Mana Junda was overjoyed; she even hummed it for two weeks straight.

She loved the cheerful song and felt it was tailor-made for her.

"Kita, you should know the lyrics, right? Sing with me."

"Hi!"

Upon hearing that he could sing a duet with Ren Amamiya, Kita was extremely excited and immediately agreed loudly.

So the two began singing the second verse.

"You just need to mind your own business and don't interfere with me."

"Even though birds of a feather flock together, I can't hear what you're saying behind my back."

In Boqi's eyes, besides the chibi version of Ren Amamiya dancing, there's also a chibi version of Kita dancing along.

Kita, dressed in her usual maid outfit for her part-time job, twirled around with Ren Amamiya, bathed in bright sunshine; a rainbow even appeared behind her head.

After all, no matter how hard Ren Amamiya tries to imitate the voice, how can he compare to the real cute and beautiful girl Kita-san?

'Put on heavy platform shoes and carry your favorite hiking backpack.'

"Please comb your bangs so they won't fall flat, and head out, you frivolous woman? What a joke, they're practically heavy!"

This was also the part of the Starry Night preparations. Some members of other bands stopped what they were doing and started listening to the two singing in this corner. Liang was quietly playing the bass to support the music, and he looked happy.

This song doesn't need drums, otherwise Hongxia might have started playing them too.

This popular song is naturally sung by many people, especially some girls who can't help but join in the singing along to the chorus.

In an instant, it was as if everyone in the starry sky was singing a grand chorus, as they began to sing their own songs.

'Chirp! I'm so sorry I'm so cute! I'm really sorry to live in this era!'

'Chirp! I'm so sorry I'm so conspicuous! Did you notice me? I'm so sorry!'

The grand chorus in the starry sky also drew the attention of the audience waiting outside, but only one ticket window could see inside.

So everyone gathered at the ticket window and watched as people backstage happily sang the song.

This action also put pressure on Xiangzi, who was selling tickets. She quickly reminded everyone not to block the window, as it would affect ticket sales. But obviously no one cared. They just craned their necks and peered inside like giraffes.

After all, this song can be considered one of Sumimi's classic songs. Although many people like to sing it on the streets, such a perfect duet is indeed a rare occurrence.
