Joker's Band Game Story

"If this performance goes well, you'll become a famous figure at school! Performing on stage with the AG band, having your own band, and having sweet encounters with all sorts of beautiful girls—you'll be a true winner in life!"

"That's right! I'm a winner in life! Hehehe~ A winner in life~"

Hongxia seemed to see the fantasy in Boqi's mind: she was standing on the school's podium, being praised by many students, and even having many female fans holding flowers to give to her.

While chuckling, she quickly scribbled her signature on a piece of paper, looking every bit like a famous figure on campus.

"Alright, since you're all set, I'll go check on the band next door. I'm still quite worried about them."

After comforting Pochi, who had the biggest problem, Ren Amamiya got up and went to check on the other side of the room. She planned to reinforce Pochi's boldness before the performance to prevent him from getting stage fright again.

Actually, all it takes is to start playing. Once Pochi starts playing, he easily gets caught up in the music and can't stay calm. Amamiya's distribution of the three pieces this time can be said to have been specially designed. This time, he is also promoting the end of the band.

The first song, "I'm Willing to Serve," was sung by Amamiya. He set a good example for the others, letting them familiarize themselves with how to play the music after their entrance. This would not only reassure Kita but also allow Pochi to immerse himself in the music as quickly as possible.

The second song features Kita singing while she plays guitar. With her presence, the band members can relax. The third song is their final band song, with Ren Amamiya playing along.

That's right. The original plan was for Ren Amamiya to play only two pieces, but he chose to play the third piece as well, to avoid them feeling uncomfortable and having problems after losing themselves.

Playing music is like singing in a choir. With a leader, everyone else feels more at ease, and the leader can guide the others to avoid problems such as going off-key.

Compared to the band that ended, Ai Yin and her band may have had even bigger problems.

Ren Amamiya was watching the three people rehearsing their audition; Aine and Rakuna were nowhere to be seen.

It's obvious that Ryuna has run off somewhere and Aine is going to bring her back. The three people left on the field also have their own things to do.

Lixi sat in her seat, looking at Deng with concern, while Deng held the microphone with both hands, looking nervous. Shuangshi was tuning the bass, and it seemed like she hadn't tuned it before.

I felt just as nervous as when the band finished playing.

Rinrinko also felt a bit helpless; this band's performance was even worse than the End Band's.

But there was nothing she could do; after all, it was their band that Li Xi had brought in to support. She couldn't really say anything.

Besides, everyone has a first time. She had seen bands with much more chaotic live performances. Compared to those, this band's problem was simply that each band had its own unique circumstances.

For example, the lead singer's voice is very soft, the drummer is very nervous, the guitarist has run away, or the bassist is tuning the instrument.

Okay, there are quite a few problems too.

"Amamiya? You're here? Can you help me?"

Rinrinko noticed that Ren Amamiya had come onto the field, and her eyes lit up. She wanted Ren Amamiya to help her talk to them.

Ren Amamiya didn't have a microphone at this moment, so Rinrinko definitely couldn't hear him. He just made an OK gesture to Rinrinko sitting in the mixing room and then walked onto the stage.

"Amemiya..."

Lixi was surprised that Ren Amamiya had come. She didn't think he was there to laugh at them; he had helped the band so much, so it was only natural for him to come at this time.

"Looks like you guys have a lot going on here... Light, look at me."

He couldn't handle the cats, and he also had a hard time dealing with Lixi and Shuangshi. Compared to these, his gaze turned to Deng.

Her problem is the most serious, and it's the biggest problem if it's not addressed.

After all, the lead singer is the core of the band; if she can't sing, the band's performance is a complete disaster.

Upon hearing Ren Amamiya's words, the lantern couldn't help but raise its head and look at Ren Amamiya.

She wasn't actually that familiar with Ren Amamiya, but her brief conversation with him before gave her the confidence to keep an eye on him.

"I'd like to hear you sing 'Walking with the Azure Sky,' is that alright?"

Ren Amamiya glanced at the time. The band's rehearsal had taken a little longer than expected, and now they were a bit late again, and the performance was about to begin.

So he took over Ai Yin's place and started testing the guitar: "Let me test the guitar for Ai Yin. Let's rehearse once."

"But the music..."

“I taught this piece to Aine, so what could be wrong with it? Let’s use the first draft of the guitar tab.”

The bass, drums, and vocals are identical in both versions, only the guitar is different. Riki's version forgot that they have two guitarists, so only one guitar is needed to play, and since only Amamiya Ren is currently playing, he's the perfect fit.

"it is good……"

Lixi nodded in agreement and looked at Shuangshi: "Have you finished adjusting the sound?"

"All right."

Shuangshi clenched her fists nervously and nodded in response.

No matter what her ulterior motives were, she was determined to give a good performance at the live show.

Now that the guitarist, drummer, and bassist were all settled, Ren Amamiya gestured to Rinrinko that they could begin rehearsals.

So everyone started playing inside, but when it came to the main part, the sound of the lamp was very low.

"lamp?"

Since it was just a rehearsal, Ren Amamiya was very casual. He walked up to Akari while playing his guitar and looked at her, saying, "Could you turn the volume up a bit?"

Although his voice was gentle, his presence in front of Deng made her even more nervous. She gripped the microphone tightly with both hands, but her voice still wouldn't come out.

So Ren Amamiya stood next to the lantern, bent down, and asked her sideways, "So, what about now?"

"I...I'm afraid I'm using too much force..."

At this moment, Deng finally spoke up, revealing that her biggest problem in not daring to speak was the message she had seen after the live performance.

'The lead singer is pushing himself too hard.'

In Japanese, this phrase means she overdid it, and it's a derogatory term, which is why she still remembers it.

"It's okay, this is just a rehearsal. Just sing it and see. Rehearsals are for trial and error, and if there are any problems, we can solve them quickly."

Ren Amamiya comforted Akari. Although he was wrong in some ways, no one was arguing with him now; instead, everyone was looking at Akari.

"Besides... how do you know you'll use too much force if you haven't even tried?"

"I... have been criticized."

"Really? Who has criticized you?"

Deng shook her head. She didn't know that person, nor did she know who the person who commented on that sentence was.

"So you've been worried ever since a stranger said something casually?"

Ren Amamiya roughly understood what was going on. He remembered that Aine had mentioned something about lamps to him before.

He hadn't expected that Deng would care so much about one person's comment. There were so many people commenting, yet she only cared about one person's comment.

So he stopped playing the guitar and patted Deng on the shoulder: "Deng, you have to understand, you can't expect everyone in this world to like you. Don't care about the comments from people who don't like you and hurt the people who like you. He said he was trying too hard, but I don't think so. If you refuse to sing loudly, you'll only make those who support you and like you sad. So believe me, you're not trying too hard. Please sing it, okay?"

Ren Amamiya did not deny Akari; instead, he supported Akari, using words that Riki would never say in his entire life to support her.

The lamp needs support and encouragement, so she pays extra attention when facing criticism from others. She hopes someone can support and encourage her, so Ren Amamiya reminds her how to do things correctly.

Ai-yin is indeed a good friend of Deng, and she has helped Deng a lot, but there is one thing she couldn't help with. After all, she was barely able to take care of herself when the band was practicing, so how could she have the time to help Deng?

The lamp looked up at Ren Amamiya, and seeing the certainty in his eyes, it gripped the microphone again and nodded slightly.

Amamiya has made a good start. Next, let Aine help persuade Akari more. Then, the problem won't be too big when she goes on stage.

Chapter Seventy-One: The Beginning of the Live

"Wow, that's amazing, live."

"Right? This live show was pretty good too. Lian got us the tickets so it was easy for us to get in. That's really great."

In the RiNG audience seats, Nina looked around in surprise. Next to her, Momoka was holding two drinks and handed one of them to Nina.

The two of them had received tickets from Ren Amamiya and came specifically to support the performance. Momoka also knew the general details of the show.

Moreover, both AG and 4P are quite famous bands with a large number of fans; even people like Nina have heard of them.

Of course, if we're talking about which band Nina is a fan of the most, it has to be Diamond Stardust, without a doubt.

Who could have given Momoka such great motivation back then? It even made her give up on death.

"Enjoy the show, you country bumpkin, in one of Tokyo's most luxurious livehouses."

Momoka used her free hand to rub Nina's head, and Nina turned her head to look at Momoka with a displeased expression.

Although she knew that Momoka was just joking, she was still annoyed.

So she simply replied, "Indeed, I will appreciate it, Sister who left the team."

The two seemed to be at odds, exchanging a snort before deciding to continue watching the performance.

But Momoka's gaze was always wandering around.

"What are you looking for?"

“I’m looking for my friend. I invited her over, but I don’t know where she is.”

"Hey~ Did you send it on LINE?"

"Unread, probably asleep again. Oh well, I'll torture her later."

Momoka stopped thinking about it and instead watched the upcoming performance with Nina.

Hello everyone! We are the poppin party!

At this moment, the 4P band on stage immediately began their performance; it was time for them to start singing.

Meanwhile, in the audience, a girl with long, straight black hair wearing sunglasses and a mask was waiting expectantly for something.

Her name is Anhe Mao, and she is a fan of AG.

She has a friend named Momoka Kawaragi, who gave her an AG concert ticket, and she was very happy.

But she didn't plan to watch it with Momoka, because Momoka's habit of watching live shows was always to watch from a distance in the back. But today was different for her; she wanted to stand in the front row and wait for AG to give her an autograph.

For this reason, she even prepared autographed copies and pens, and was just waiting for AG to sign them for her.

AG was performing for the third time, but she came for the first show just to get a front-row seat. If she came for the third show, she wouldn't be able to squeeze into the front row at all.

She was very grateful to Momoka for the tickets to the concert. She had originally bought tickets for the concert in the game, but who would watch the concert in the game if they could come to the concert in person? There was no way to interact with the audience!

That's right, that's the game's only flaw, and its fatal one: the audience can't interact with the singer live.

But it is precisely because of this flaw that livehouses in reality haven't completely died out.
