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

But it's only 11:2 now, and there are still more than two hours before the real live competition starts, and it will take more than three hours for them to actually perform, so there is still more than enough time.

So, everyone started to take action.

The staff quickly came over to help move everyone's instruments to the side hall for testing.

"First, the lead singer..."

"Well, you can't bring the notebook with you." Senior Shinji guided everyone.

"Very good, the drum is ok."

"And then there's the keyboard player—"

"As for the bass, I need to make sure it's tuned properly—"

It's not a big deal, but everyone needs to confirm that there are no problems with their instruments.

"Then it's... a guitar solo--" and Shinji-senpai soon took turns with Aine and Rakuna.

"I'm just the rhythm guitar." Standing on the stage, Aine immediately said. "The rhythm guitar is played by Xiao Le Na, and Xiao Le Na——"

"Hey, I saw her just now, but now I don't know where she went--" Shinji-senpai also took the microphone and started looking for Lenai, but there was no sign of little Lenai at all.

"I'll go find her!" However, Aiyin suddenly put down her guitar and quickly jumped off the stage.

Such mobility and speed prove that she must have been very good at sports when she was in junior high school.

but.

"Aine seems to have some problems." Shiina Riki, who had experience in live performances, said immediately.

"clear."

Mikami-kun is already very experienced.

……

Although there was a small episode, after the test, everyone went to the main hall. The main hall was very large, and unlike the side hall, it was equipped with chairs, rows of chairs, a wider stage, and better lighting and sound effects.

It makes people feel confused. For example, am I going to perform here this afternoon?

It wasn't just for fun, but a direct performance in front of so many people.

And they directly asked for 2000 people!

Considering that there was a performance in the afternoon, no one went home, but went directly to the buffet restaurant in the shopping street.

Because I wasn't quite sure what the band members liked, I opted for a buffet.

If you settle the bill in advance, the average meal cost per person is 4800 yen, which is already very generous.

For five people, that would be 25,000. After checking the price, Mikami-kun looked at the flaxen-haired girl beside him.

"..." Su Shi.

"Yes, yes, I know." Su Shi said immediately.

Obviously, she is very familiar with her identity as a wallet.

"But since we can get the share today, then Su Shi-san won't have to keep paying." said Mikami Yu.

"Are you planning to sell the songs directly?" Su Shi asked.

But before Mikami Yuu could answer, Shiina Riki on the side immediately said, "Profits for commercial bands can be divided into three parts."

"One is a traditional CD, just like a light novel. Usually, 1-1 songs are released on a CD, and the price is set at 3 yen. If it's a series of 1000-8 songs, then it can sell for 10 yen."

"2. The band performs at livehouses for commercial performances, or is invited by companies to perform there, etc. Right now we are participating in a livehouse commercial performance."

"3. Live streaming to absorb tips, sell band-related peripherals, etc. Here at RiNG, there are puppet peripherals of commercial bands Roselia and RAISE A SUILEN. I wonder if we at mygo will have this opportunity in the future." Li Xi said.

While saying this, Lixi found that her teammates seemed to be looking at her.

"Well."

This made her face flush. She stood up straight and added, "I just checked in advance. Isn't it said that our band is going to be a commercial band and hope to make a profit?"

Even so, she was so concerned about the development of the band that Mikami Yu suddenly thought that perhaps the promotion work could be handed over to her.

After all, Ms. Nagasaki Motoyo, who was originally in charge of the band's publicity and operation, you are not working!

Mygo doesn’t have any videos on SNS now. Even if it is just a video of daily training, it’s fine. After all, other bands do this.

However, although Li Xi said a lot, Mikami Yu still has something to add to it.

Because this world is centered around music, the focus of this world is also on girl bands.

The proportion of music is also greater.

For example, the animations and light novels in this world don't sell as well as in his original world. Instead, old-fashioned things like CDs are very popular.

And even my own home has a traditional CD player.

This is equivalent to light novels. A light novel costs 500 yen, while a CD costs 1000 yen. You can get it by working part-time for an hour or the price of eating original soup ramen, so CDs of popular bands are also very popular.

To put it more specifically, because of the bias of the world, the commercial value is also higher. For example, in the original world, the theme song of EVA brought 20 billion in revenue to the lyricist and composer in years. In this world of girl bands, the revenue can be tripled, quintupled, or even tenfold if it is the work of the world-renowned music master Kenshi Yonezu.

But Li Xi’s understanding is actually not enough.

He also conducted a serious investigation.

In addition to the three ways to make money that Li Xi mentioned, there are also ways to collaborate with karaoke and upload to paid music websites. Some animations and TV series also give priority to these platforms when choosing music.

Then there is the YouTube account he created, which can earn money based on the number of plays. At the same time, it would be best if he could contact advertising partners, and if it could become a signature song of a certain brand, the rewards would be even greater.

Because he just didn't see any more profitable model than making music in the era of girl bands, so he firmly chose to absorb Crychic.

Otherwise, seeing that the band is full of talented people, I would just run away.

Fortunately, the band members don’t know what their captain is thinking yet, but as a reliable band member, Riki quickly set his sights on Chihaya Aine.

"Chihaya." Riki said. "Are you feeling uneasy?"

"Eh? Me? I don't have any! Didn't I pass the test just now? There's nothing wrong with me." Aine said immediately.

"Are you sure? The guests haven't entered yet. When 1800 people come in, are you sure you can remain calm?" Li Xi said sharply.

His gaze was fixed on Aine, making her feel like she had been seen through.

"..." Chihaya Aine.

what.

Suddenly, she felt the pressure doubled. Or rather, when Li Xi said this, she felt the pressure increased.

"Aine-chan—" However, Deng suddenly turned around at this moment. "If you're nervous, just look at me. I can do it, and so can Aine-chan."

Deng's eyes were full of sincerity, and being looked at by her felt like being healed.

"I'll do my best, Tomo Rei!" And Aine immediately smiled.

"That's great." Deng clasped his hands together happily.

"Hey, Tomo Rei, let's go get the food together—" And Aine immediately took Tomo Rei's hand.

"Hey, I'm going too!" Li Xi, as the light guard, hurriedly followed.

"..."X2

"It doesn't look like it's completely resolved." But Su Shi had some doubts about Aine's back.

Because everyone at Crychic has participated in a Live in the past. Although the scale is different from this time, it is easier for those who have experience than those who have no experience.

"..." Mikami Yuu didn't say anything.

Because I really didn’t expect Aine to be stage fright.

Because just like the Yangkaku character that Aine herself played, she also performed at the school festival with the student council when she was in junior high school.

As a result, I now feel stage fright.

Perhaps she also understood that the student union’s performance was different from the current one.

In commercial performances, mistakes cannot be made easily and cannot be too embarrassing.

These are all limitations.

Mikami Yuu remembered that the goal yesterday was to get Deng to overcome his stage fright, but now it seems that what was needed was to get Aine to go as well, or to be more precise, to get her to stand up from the audience and sing together.

"Is there any way?" Su Shi asked. "For example, let Aine go to a place like an intersection to face the crowd in advance?"

Although she is obsessed with Crychic, she has also cried at Crychic's funeral. What is incredible is that she has no intention of quitting mygo now.

So naturally, I wanted to support mygo's first debut.

Especially since he had left Bess behind and ran away earlier, this was actually a bit stressful for Su Shi.

But didn't she just reveal what happened at the station square in Shibuya yesterday?

But surprisingly, Mikami-kun did not show any distressed expression.

"No need to bother."

"Besides, we're going to perform this afternoon. It's kind of embarrassing for us to perform for free in front of RiNG."

"Leave it to me," he said.

At 3:30, when the Mygo band entered the main hall stage, Chihaya Aine really got rid of the tense atmosphere, and even Riki felt that she seemed to be strengthened.

"We must make mygo's performance a success!" After everyone arrived at the stage and took their positions, Aine encouraged the team members with a determined expression.

"..."X4

This behavior is very unusual, okay? How can one go from being nervous and flustered to being so determined?

"What did you do?" As the bassist, Su Shi was standing in the last row, and next to her was Mikami Yu's piano area, so she could talk to him directly.

but.

What have you done?

This story begins after we all had lunch together.

After lunch, no one rushed back to RiNG's lounge. According to Mikami-kun, they should take a rest first. If they feel energetic, they can go watch other bands' live performances.

Anyway, as a participant, you don’t need a ticket, you can just stand at the door and see it.

As for Yu Mikami, after lunch, he was different from others. He returned to RiNG first, but sat in the lobby on the first floor.
