When I’m in a music show, I just want to make music seriously!

What he didn't know was that he would regret his decision in the near future.

4. The real music circle

"See you next time, Taku-kun."

"See you."

The two sides added each other on Line, and Toyokawa Shoko said that once they recruited enough teammates, they could start practicing Xi.

Taku Sakagami was not in a hurry about this. He was even afraid that Shoko Toyokawa would only be enthusiastic for a short time.

However, through what he just learned, he felt that at least Toyokawa Shoko's love for music was real, but it was unknown how long this passion could last.

Alas, he felt that if the other party liked him, it would be best to just support him.

During this brief contact, Toyokawa Shoko's naive and young lady character was revealed, and Sakagami Taku even vaguely suspected that she was the child of a wealthy tycoon.

Putting aside these unrealistic ideas, Taku Sakagami took out a shabby flip phone from five or six years ago, waited for the social software to load for a long time, and then sent a "Hello boss" emoticon to Shoko Toyokawa with a few lags.

If you have money, you should change your phone first.

Otherwise, if something happens one day and the phone suddenly malfunctions and can’t send messages, it will be a disaster.

At this time, Hachiman Kailing, who had finished her performance, also walked out of Ring. After noticing Sakagami Taku at the door, she greeted him:

"It seems like the deal is done?"

Sakagami Taku turned around and threw the mandarin orange drink he was holding over: "Here, please."

Hachiman Kailing was a little surprised. She reached out and took the drink thrown by Sakagami Taku, with a calm expression on her face. "It's really rare that you are willing to join the band."

"It was just that I didn't have enough money before. By the way, I saved this drink especially for you."

"Stay?" Hachiman Kailing asked in confusion, and then she probably understood how he had money to buy drinks.

But soon, Taku Sakagami noticed another message on Line.

"Taku, my sister has already paid your rent. Do you want to record music today?"

The moment he saw the message, Sakagami Taku remembered that today was the rent payment date.

He immediately said to Hachiman Kailing, "Something's going on. I'll be leaving now."

After reluctantly renting a shared bicycle, Taku Sakagami pedaled towards his rented house.

The 2,000 yen I just got today isn’t even warm yet!

Hachiman Kailing, carrying her bass bag, was left watching his departing back.

I don’t know if I have really found my home.

————————————————————————

Half an hour later, downstairs of the apartment building, a beautiful girl with a blonde side ponytail was standing at the door waiting.

Taku Sakagami felt like his soul was about to be pedaled out by this shared bicycle, but fortunately he finally got back in half an hour.

He was breathing heavily, and finally saw the blonde girl waving at him downstairs.

"Hello~~~Taku~~~"

"Hello~" Sakagami Taku replied weakly, breathing heavily.

Noticing the sweat on his forehead, the blonde girl trotted over and said, "There's no need to be so anxious to come back."

As she spoke, she took out a tissue from her pocket and wiped the sweat from Sakagami Taku's forehead.

"It's too late now. Sorry for taking up your time."

After finishing practice with Toyokawa Shoko, I looked at the time and it was almost ten o'clock.

Sakagami Taku pulled out two freshly warmed thousand-yuan bills from his wallet, clasped his hands together, and said, "As for the rent, can I postpone it for a while? My self-media salary doesn't get paid until the 15th of this month, and this is all I have on me right now."

Seeing the two bills handed over, the blonde girl blinked, but took one with her hand. "Well, then I'll take 1,000 yen first. I remember the number of views was pretty good last month, so it should be more than enough to cover the rent."

"Well, thanks."

Taku Sakagami didn't act pretentiously and carefully put the remaining 1,000 yen into his wallet.

The girl in front of him was named Ijichi Nijika, a neighbor of Sakagami Taku, and also half his childhood sweetheart and half his benefactor.

When he resolutely embarked on the journey to Tokyo with debt, the first thing he faced was the high rent. Sakagami Taku used all his remaining savings to find a relatively cheap small house. Although it was only ten square meters, it had everything. It was also at that time that he met the Ijichi family as his neighbors.

Seeing that Taku Sakagami was pitiful, the Ijichi family temporarily helped Taku Sakagami pay the rent for several months. Since then, Taku Sakagami has been working part-time to pay off his debts.

However, it was obvious that working part-time would not provide any future for him, so Sakagami Taku quickly thought of a relatively easy and convenient way to make money - making videos!

However, Taku Sakagami still faces a problem: minors cannot create accounts and make profits.

So, after discussing with Ijichi Hongka's sister Ijichi Hoshika, Sakagami Taku created an account by borrowing her memory card, self-media account and computer, and began to record some of his golden songs from his previous life into it one after another. The frequency was not very high, about one song every two weeks.

Taku Sakagami loved music in his previous life. After traveling through time, this world no longer had the golden songs of the past, which was a pity for him. He originally planned to let the people in this world enjoy the charm of these songs in the form of charity, but he was forced to do so by life.

I'm so sorry, my music predecessors from my previous life! I'm really broke and can't make ends meet, so I can only borrow your works and post original works to make some money.

So, he never turned back from the path of plagiarism.

But Taku Sakagami should have some shame. He has never said in his account that any sentence is original. He just keeps posting his own stuff. If I don’t say it, it’s not plagiarism!

Every time a video account is released, he will also simultaneously release it on the music software and register the copyright.

Occasionally, Taku Sakagami will release some of his own original music.

According to his current level, he is actually a standard top music star, but inspiration is not always available. No matter how top-notch his lyrics and music are, they don't come out of his mouth.

At the beginning, there were almost no fans. It was impossible for a song to become popular on the Internet as soon as it was released. It not only requires strength, but also luck and traffic.

And as his updates are stable, he never takes leave.

Gradually, this account gained some popularity and started to grow. As more and more works were produced, and the quality of the arrangements and lyrics was extremely high, Sakagami Taku's account once had 300,000 followers, and the number was still rising, even though there was almost no promotion.

Moreover, the fans of this account are all real, and the number of views and comments each time far exceeds those of bloggers with millions of fans.

Alas, it's mainly because of the music industry. The competition is too fierce. I don't know why, but it's always popular to perform in bikinis, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger. Sakagami Taku feels that he is simply a breath of fresh air in it.

While others were thinking about how to wear less and post videos, he was the only one who was holding his broken guitar, covering his face and shooting a four-minute music video.

Although many entertainment companies have contacted his account, they were all rejected by Taku Sakagami.

He is now in a lot of debt, and signing a contract with an entertainment company will have to go through procedures and check his credit history. Whether he can sign the contract is also a question. Moreover, he is still a minor, and this account essentially belongs to his sister Ichichi Hongxia.

Taku Sakagami still plans to finish his studies first, and then rely on his account and his own talent to win trust and get a contract, but now he has an additional trial method of forming a band.

The self-media now earns about one million yen every month, but most of the money is used by Taku Sakagami to pay off his debts, and usually there is only a little left for his own use. Occasionally, he faces the situation where if he does not pay off enough debts, the interest will continue to rise, forcing him to pay more.

I think you just want to force me to jump off the building!

If he doesn't pay back the money, he will be tracked down and the debt collectors will come to his house. He doesn't want to involve others in his own affairs.

After returning to his cabin and taking out the broken guitar, Taku Sakagami followed Ijichi Nikka back to her home.

The soundproofing of that cottage was so poor that other neighbors would often knock on the door, so when recording the video, Taku Sakagami would go to Ijichi's house.

And Taku Sakagami has already thought of the song to be recorded tonight.

5. We won’t take a shower together!

"Excuse me."

After saying hello to Ijichi Kouka's sister, Sakagami Taku changed his shoes and walked into the house.

"Yeah." Ijichi Hoshika nodded. She wasn't surprised by Sakagami Taku's monthly visit. "Are you recording again today?"

"Ah."

"Didn't I tell you before? If you need me, you can come work at 'STARRY'. It's all the same anyway. Plus, we have all the necessary facilities here, and it's right downstairs, so it's very convenient."

However, in the face of Ijichi Xingge's kindness, Sakagami Taku just smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you, Xingge-sister, but I'm working in a good place now, so I won't bother you anymore."

Favors are the hardest thing to repay. Sakagami Taku felt that he already owed the Ijichi family a lot and there was no need to trouble them anymore.

After hearing this, Yidi Zhixingge said no more.

Taku Sakagami walked into the soundproof room and set up the camera with the help of Kouka Ijichi.

He asked, "Is it aligned?"

Ijichi Hongxia nodded and made a YES gesture: "No problem, my face won't be in the picture."

"Ah."

Taku Sakagami simply tuned up his worn-out guitar, while Nijichi Kouka watched quietly from the side.

As Sakagami Taku's childhood sweetheart, she almost always participates in every song recording of Sakagami Taku.

For her, every song of Taku Sakagami seemed to be filled with infinite charm, allowing her to intuitively feel for the first time that a person's talent could be so outrageous.

She liked every song played by Taku Sakagami. Every time Taku Sakagami started recording a song, Ijichi Hongka would be ready and waiting for him in advance.

Over the years, it has become a part of her life.

And you have to know that she is the first listener of every new song in the true sense!

Nothing could make her happier than this.

It’s a pity that her sister explicitly asked her not to let Taku Sakagami join her band, otherwise Ijichi Nikka would have asked Taku Sakagami to join her band no matter what.

In her sister's words, Taku Sakagami joining her band was a complete dimensionality reduction attack, which would make her path much easier.

She obviously thinks it's good to relax a little...

However, Ijichi Hongxia knew that Sakagami Taku's financial situation did not allow him to play in a band as a hobby like herself.

Ijichi Nijinka looked at Sakagami Taku expectantly: "What kind of song is it today?"

"love song."

Hearing this, Ijichi Hongxia didn't look surprised: "Oh~~~ Another sad love song?"

She had heard many love songs performed by Taku Sakagami before, but she preferred pop music with clear melodies to love songs.

"Ah."

After debugging was completed, Taku Sakagami simply tried the prelude and it was pretty good.

The song he will perform tonight is "You Hide and I Hide", which won the 32nd Chinese Golden Melody Award.

As a music lover, even if his soul was transported across time and space, the melodies of those golden songs in the past had already been deeply rooted in his mind. He could sing them at will. He had to let the people in this world appreciate these songs.

Seeing that Sakagami Taku was getting into the mood, Ijichi Kouka walked to the camera with her small feet in white socks, and then knelt down properly, intending to enjoy the music that was about to follow.

After confirming that the camera angle was correct, she made an 'OK' gesture to Taku Sakagami, who placed his hands on the guitar and began to play.

“Dating is like sharing the feeling of being full

If you have any problems, don’t mention them

If this is romance, why would I feel like we are about to break up?

......"

Taku Sakagami's voice is low, and the whole prelude of the song is filled with dullness. As the song progresses, it seems to slowly walk out of the haze.

When the song ended, Ijichi Hongxia showed a surprised expression on her face, and then began to applaud without any hesitation.

No matter how many times she saw it, she always thought Sakagami Taku was just too good to be true.

Since Taku Sakagami almost never makes mistakes in his performance, the recording of the song can basically be completed in one go.

The two of them didn't even do too much editing. They simply watched the entire process on the computer in Ijichi Hongxia's house. After seeing no footage that exposed their location information and identities, Ijichi Hongxia clicked the upload button.

A few minutes later, the video was uploaded successfully. In just one minute, the number of views began to soar. Even in the comment section, various comments such as "No. 1 in the front row" appeared.

Compared to Sakagami Taku's composure, Ijichi Nijika looked at the feedback from various viewers with some excitement, as if she was the starring actor in this video.

She hopes that one day she can be like Sakagami Taku.

Soon, Ichichi Hongxia found a familiar identity in the comment section and said:

"Woohoo, it's Guitar Hero."

She pulled Sakagami Taku's arm and pointed at the comment. "Look, look, it seems like every time she releases a song, she's one of the first to comment."

"Well, he's also a video host in the music section after all." Sakagami Taku has watched the guitar hero's videos several times on the recommendation of Ijichi Kouka.
