How to raise a random guy's wife

We will never see them sweating on stage again, nor will we be able to cheer them on from the audience.

[Like an interlude, all that remains are clear memories and a hazy melody.]

Aren't you afraid I'll cry?

I really want to see them live again!

It's uncertain whether they're still in contact with each other.

[If I have another chance, I will definitely cheer for them with my loudest voice.]

Of course!

[Me too]

[But that's just wishful thinking.]

We only learn to cherish things after we lose them.

[There are so many new idols, but no one can replace them]

[Of course! It was their encouragement that got me into my current university.]

[I frantically searched for all sorts of information, but found absolutely nothing.]

If only there was another chance.

I really want to cheer them on one more time.

[yes]

[......]

The Star Cluster members read through the messages one by one, watching them talk about their feelings, their youth, the changes the Star Cluster had brought them, and their uncontrollable nostalgia...

"You are also a source of regret for many people," Kobayashi Megumi whispered. "Unbeknownst to many, you have become a symbol of youth for many."

"If I have the chance..." Shibuya Kanon stared at the screen, "One more time—this one!"

Her eyes lit up; she had finally come up with an idea.

When faced with regret, people's first thought is naturally—if only they could do it all over again...

If I had another chance, I would definitely do this and that.

This is such a pity!

What makes you hate your past self is regret.

What makes people cry at night is regret.

What makes you want to do it all over again is regret.

Shibuya Kanon took a pen and paper and wrote down "Once again".

That's the topic.

With a light touch of the pen on the paper, two lines of lyrics flowed out naturally.

What else do I have to lose before I can forgive myself?

How many more nights must I cry before I can meet you again?

again......

The lyrics got stuck in the flow.

Shibuya Kanon's pen remained on the paper, hesitant to move.

Those around her held their breath, knowing that Shibuya Kanon was currently in a state of creative inspiration and needed to remain quiet and not disturb her, waiting for her to wake up from her creative state on her own.

Inspiration is something that cannot be explained or grasped, yet it is absolutely crucial in the creative process. This burst of inspiration is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought after.

If I get interrupted, it will probably be difficult to get back to my current state.

Therefore, it is essential to remain quiet.

Thump thump thump~

A guitar melody suddenly rang out, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

When Ran Kobayashi felt everyone's gaze, she immediately removed her little hands from Shibuya Kanon's guitar strings and looked at her mother with some unease, her hands behind her back.

Nian Gao turned to look at everyone and hooked her paw on the strings of the zither.

Then I ticked it again.

Kobayashi Sora turned to look at Shibuya Kanon and found her staring blankly in the direction of the guitar, then scribbled a line on the paper.

"This is the melody!" Shibuya Kanon shouted excitedly, wanting to hug Kobayashi Ran, yet also wanting to continue writing.

In his haste, he spun around twice before calming down and recording the melody that Kobayashi Ran and Nian Gao had just played.

“Not ‘once again,’” Shibuya Kanon wrote a new name next to the crossed-out title, “it’s ‘onemoretime’!”

Changing the language brings about a change in melody.

Furthermore, if the same language is used, the lyrics need to be connected appropriately.

However, when using different languages, you don't need to worry too much about the flow of content.

[OneMoreTime, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, May the Seasons Never Change]

[OneMoreTime, those memories of playing with you]

"Ranran," Shibuya Kanon put down her pen and paper and gave Kobayashi Ran a big kiss on the cheek, "Thank you. May I use the guitar for a moment?"

"Lanlan...didn't you do anything wrong?" Xiaolin Lan was still a little uneasy.

"No!" Shibuya Kanon replied, "She was a great help."

"really?"

Shibuya Kanon smiled. "If you don't believe me, ask your mother."

"Mom..." Xiao Linlan called softly.

“It’s true.” Kobayashi Megumi picked up her daughter. “Auntie Kaon said so, so it must be true.”

"But Lanlan seems to have disturbed Aunt Xiangyin just now..."

“Lanlan is a brave and responsible child, but you don’t need to blame yourself too much,” Xiaolin Hui explained. “Aunt Xiangyin wasn’t disturbed and was even inspired by you, which is a good thing. Also, if you really did disturb Aunt Xiangyin, it’s not your fault, it’s your parents’ fault for not teaching you properly.”

"Hmm..." Ran Kobayashi looked at Shibuya Kanon, who was tuning a guitar, "Then... Ranran wants to learn!"

"Great!" Shibuya Kanon smiled happily, feeling wonderful as inspiration flowed through her. "Aunt Kanon can teach you to play the guitar."

"Auntie Lianlian can teach you piano," Hazuki Lian chimed in.

"Auntie Xiaoqian will teach you to dance!" Lan Qiansha also joined in the fun.

Tang Keke patted her chest confidently, "Auntie Keke will teach you crafts!"

"Aunt Jin will teach you acting!" Ping An Ming Jin tossed her blonde hair.

"I'll also teach you the Ipod Dance~" Tang Keke added with a smile.

"Don't mention isopods!"

Amidst her friends' laughter, Shibuya Kanon plucked the strings of her guitar, expanding on the melody that Kobayashi Ran and Mochi had played earlier, and softly hummed the lyrics she had written.

How much more do I have to lose before I can forgive myself?

How many more nights must I cry before I can meet you again?

[OneMoreTime, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, May the Seasons Never Change]

[OneMoreTime, those memories of playing with you]

She paused here, her gaze falling on Tang Keke and Ping An Mingjin, "I remember every time we argued and got angry..."

What should I write next?

Tang Keke put her hands on her hips and said, "I'll give in so you won't cry."

Ping An Mingjin gritted her teeth, "You really dare to say that!"

Chapter 529 Now Begins

Shibuya Kanon was taken aback, then realized that she wasn't the only one with creative abilities.

The first song that made them school idols was written by Tang Keke, and she composed the music.

Lan Qiansha looked at Ping An Mingjin and Tang Keke with a maternal smile, "I remember your willful and temperamental nature, which only made you more adorable and beautiful."

Shibuya Kanon plucked the strings, "OneMoreChance, bit by bit, I can't let go of the past; OneMoreChance, I don't know where to go in the future."

After the two verses, the chorus begins.

The verse can be considered the content, the backbone of every piece of music, and an explanation and elaboration of the theme.

The chorus differs from the verse in content, is more developmental and general, and contrasts with the verse in rhythm, emotion, and melody.

In many songs, the chorus often serves as an emotional climax, the finishing touch that brings the entire song to life.

The two verses express present sadness, followed by nostalgia for the past, and finally uncertainty about the future.

So what's next...?

Shibuya Kanon recalled a scene from an animated short film where the male protagonist reminisced about the past while rushing to the place he had arranged to meet the female protagonist:

"I have been searching for you, searching for your figure and footprints."

The old route home from school, the neighborhoods we walked together

Even though I knew perfectly well that you wouldn't be there anymore.

If I could fulfill my wish again in a single day, how I would want to rush to see you immediately.

"I've learned to muster courage and not back down or hesitate."

"I'd hold you tight in my arms no matter what~"

Shibuya Kanon pressed down on the strings, and by this point, the song had already taken shape.

The structure is roughly intro - verse - pre-chorus - chorus - interlude.
