After bankruptcy, I was invited by Chihaya Aine to join mygo

Then, I saw someone familiar.

There are members of Crychic, Deng, Riki, Soyo, and Chihaya Aine, a transfer student from Class A, the same class as Deng, whom they met once in the music room.

"This is my first time as a captain, and I still lack experience in how to organize a band. As for the current situation, everyone is basically practicing on their own."

"Then, there is no match." said Yu Mikami.

Oh.

Xiangzi understood.

In other words, they come to seek experience.

and.

“…”Xiangzi.

Xiangzi saw in the video recorded by Mikami-kun that there was no problem with Lixi's drum playing, and she was still excellent, just like her sister, but Soyo made several mistakes on the bass.

And it looks like it's still unfamiliar.

In other words.

Soyo kept saying that he wanted to rebuild Crychic, but his bass was completely abandoned.

So, it's not that the bass is completely forgotten, or even...

Why play Kasuga Shadow?

She could tell that they were playing Kasuga Shadow.

[My heart is filled with haggardness, my eyes are wandering]

I am alone in this world

And this is the song of the lights.

The song of the lights is still so contagious and can penetrate deep into the air.

It's like a cry from the heart.

and.

She has also made some progress compared to when she was in Crychic. In other words, today is the first rehearsal for Mikami-kun and the others, but Deng actually listened to her and really went to train and practice.

"If the team members can't match up, then we can entrust it to Lixi." Xiangzi offered his own suggestion. "Lixi's own skills are solid and he's very reliable."

"As for Mikami-kun, he's a keyboard player, and his performance is average, no problem, but it would be better if he could inject some emotion into it."

"So the bigger problems now are the bassist and the guitarist, and we can just assign Lixi to take care of this. Although Lixi is only a drummer, she is also proficient in other instruments." Xiangzi said.

As expected of the former captain of Crychic, Xiangzi immediately saw the problems of the band members.

"But as for Su Shi, she definitely hopes that you can come back." said Mikami-kun.

"It's impossible." However, Xiangzi shook his head.

She has given up on Crychic and has now embarked on another path.

We are already on two different paths.

"Then help me." Mikami-kun said. "We are going to practice Kasuga Shadow."

"While Deng's singing here is touching, I still feel it lacks technical learning. In other words, it's all emotion and no technique."

“I definitely hope she can sing other songs in the future.”

"So it would be nice to have a demonstration," said Mikami Yuu. "And Toyokawa-san, you composed this song, so you must know it better."

"So can you demonstrate it?" asked Mikami-kun.

"Eh? You want me to sing?" Xiangzi seemed to find it incredible.

ps: First update.

Chapter 041 Even the most stubborn people can be defeated by the economy!

"Eh? You want me to sing?" Xiangzi seemed to find it incredible.

Since she is no longer a Crychic member, does she still have to sing Crychic's songs?

"Since Kasuga Shadow is the work of you and Deng, you are of course qualified to sing it."

"Mygo! We're not just planning to perform at live houses, but we're also preparing to debut as a commercial band," said Yuu Mikami. "'Kasuga Shadow' is a good song, so we might release it as a commercial song later. We'll have a chance to receive royalties later, and we'll transfer them to you when the time comes."

Japan has a strong awareness of copyright. Once a song becomes popular and is played in karaoke or commercial performances, as long as it is sung, copyright fees need to be paid.

So in a band, the people who make the most money are still the ones who write lyrics and compose music, which is equivalent to the lead singer and the composer being the most important. Then the other drummers, keyboardists, guitarists, etc. can be regarded as substitutes, and Xiangzi is the composer and can get income.

It would be a shame if the songs you made were just sung and played randomly and you didn’t make a penny.

Especially Kasuga Shadow is indeed an excellent song.

"There's no need." Xiangzi said.

For her, although leaving Crychic was a necessary choice, she also chose to cut off ties with the past, so she couldn't treat her past songs as commodities.

but.

"If you really want to sell it, then give the copyright fees you receive to the band members," said Xiangzi.

She knew that she quit Crychic because of her own situation and reasons, but in the end it seemed that the band disbanded because of her, which was not the situation she wanted to see.

Therefore, if Kasuga Shadow is launched as a commodity, then this is also a subsidy that she, as the initiator of Crychic, can provide to its members.

So Xiangzi's attitude was very firm.

"You should be able to get a refund of over 500,000 yen for the practice room you paid for with your RiNG membership card. Are you sure you don't want it?" Mikami-kun added.

"So that call was from the store manager of RiNG whom you entrusted?" Xiangzi seemed to have remembered something.

Last week, on the night she met Mikami-kun, the person in charge of RiNG's store called her to inform her that there was still a year-round subscription fee for booking a practice room at RiNG.

No one has used the practice room for two or three months, so I called her and asked her if she would definitely not use the practice room in the future, then I could refund her the remaining annual package fee.

It can be said that Xiangzi's financial situation is already very poor.

but.

She refused.

That expense was paid by her own black card as the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family. After choosing her father, she cut ties with the Toyokawa family, so given her self-esteem, she would not use this money.

Because once it is used, it means that she is still dependent on the Toyokawa family.

But she had broken with her grandfather for her father.

The hard life she lives now is her choice.

Looking at Xiangzi's silent expression, Mikami added, "Now all the expenses of mygo! are covered by Suyo-san. So the other members don't actually need to spend money."

It can be said that you don’t have to spend any money.

Then even Xiangzi can continue to play in the band.

But just like Xiangzi's self-discipline, she had to work every day and had no extra time to play in the band. Moreover, having cut off her past self, how could she have the face to go back?

and so.

The stubborn student Xiangzi chose to sing to repay the favor.

But Yu Mikami checked the time, it was 21:50.

"It's very late now, and tomorrow is the weekend. Why don't you come over tomorrow?" said Yu Mikami.

During the school hours, I work from 5pm to 9pm, and there is more time to work on weekends.

It is also acceptable to free up the morning time tomorrow and go back to work in the afternoon.

"Okay, then I'll come to see you at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning," said Xiangzi.

"Okay." After making an agreement with her, Mikami-kun returned to his home.

……

Time quickly came to the next morning. 8 o'clock.

Xiangzi arrived next door on time.

But when there was a knock on the door, she found that Mikami-kun was preparing breakfast.

"You're really punctual," said Mikami Yuu. "But since you're here so early, you probably haven't eaten yet, right? It's perfect, let's eat together."

"Eh……"

Xiangzi did not eat breakfast in the morning. This has become his daily routine recently, in order to save money.

After all, her father had only rented the house for three months at first, and now, after three months, she would have to take over the rent, water, electricity, internet, and mobile phone bills.

Especially the cost of her father's bail, which costs 5 yen per bail, which will take up a lot of her part-time job wages.

And if no one had taken her father to the police station, it would have been even worse. She had also seen news reports of people getting drunk and falling on the side of the road and then freezing to death.

So, why has life become like this?

While Xiangzi was in a daze, Mikami Yu had already put breakfast on the table.

A double portion of soy milk and meat buns, and rice rolls.

"This looks like Chinese food," Xiangzi said.

Xiangzi remembered that the last time he had dinner with Mikami-kun, he also ordered Chinese food.

"Does Mikami-kun like Chinese food?" Xiangzi asked.

do you like it?

This happened in my previous life.

However, after being reborn here for so many years, he still prefers Chinese food.

After all, if you follow the local customs, you will eat small salted fish, natto, miso soup, steamed tofu, mixed tofu, mashed radish with soy sauce, and sushi rice balls.

It looks like a lot, but wow.
