Service Club? Just like you guys, you want to step into the whirlpool of the band?

And the progress bar was rewound back to when the band members appeared one by one.

“I should have thought of that earlier.”

She looked at Shoko Toyokawa who appeared in the video and shook her head.

If the other person is a member of Asaba Ichinose's band, then the photo he saw at Asaba Ichinose's house that day...there is no doubt that the rest should be a group photo of other people, right?

After all, the size of the photo can just accommodate the six of them, and this can be analyzed by comparing it with the space occupied by one person.

But none of this matters now, because she has already gotten what she wanted from it, and it is not too late.

ps: That’s right, how did you know that I updated so early today because I’m going on a date with Mikan tomorrow.

Chapter 144: Kaname Lenai: Are you happy to form a band? (5200)

The progress bar moved forward, and Yukinoshita Yukino saw someone... um... how should I put it, someone who looked a little familiar?

"Celebrity children?"

As she watched Wakaba Mutsu playing the guitar in the video, the images of the famous actress Mori Minami and the popular comedian Wakaba Takafumi whom she had seen on TV before emerged in her mind.

There is no doubt that these two have considerable popularity and status in the Japanese entertainment industry today, so as their daughter, information about Wakaba Mu has long been circulated.

But what she didn't expect was that although Ruoye Mu came from such a family, he not only did not strive to enter the entertainment industry, but instead... formed a band here.

By the way, is the configuration of this band so high?

After all, Yukinoshita Yukino watched the video once and then played it backwards again, and after listening to the entire song, she naturally knew how high crychic's technical level was.

Wakaba Mutsu, who already has a certain degree of popularity and is a hot topic, has very good guitar skills.

The lead singer also performed very hard on stage, and his voice was very contagious and penetrating.

The drums and keyboards, which perfectly drive the rhythm, perform very well.

Finally, there is the bassist and lead guitarist Asaba Ichinose. Not only do they look very similar, but their coordination is also perfect.

How to say it, after watching Asaba Ichinose's performance on stage a year ago, she could understand why the bassist named Hachiman Kairei said what he said to her yesterday afternoon.

You'll understand once you see his old photos.

That's right, she understood now. After all, compared to photos, videos can show more things, and many of them are intuitive feelings rather than pure guesses.

The change is so great that if you put a mask on Asaba Ichinose in the video and said it was him, she would definitely not believe it.

But the reality is right in front of her, and she has to believe it even if she doesn't want to.

Then let’s talk about the bassist standing next to Asaba Ichinose. I guess she is his younger sister or older sister.

"Su Shi...I remember that was her name."

Recalling what Yukinoshita Haruno said to her that day, Yukinoshita Yukino paused the video again, took a screenshot, and zoomed in a little. She really couldn't find any difference between the two of them. It just corresponded to what Miura Yumiko had said to Yuigahama Yui before.

So in the end...why did such a perfect band break up?

And it seems that these people haven't even been in touch with each other since the band disbanded.

This can be seen from the three people she has met, including Ichinose Asaba.

Out of curiosity, after turning off the video, she started searching on crychic's website again, and found that some of the content before the live was basically the band's daily life, such as rehearsals, or pictures and texts of dinners. It seemed that the atmosphere in the team was quite harmonious, and there was no sign of disbanding at all.

Wasn't it thriving? How could it disband so suddenly? Without even a hint of warning, it just collapsed like a bang.

Could it be that this problem only appeared after the live ended?

But she thought this live show was quite successful, with quite a few fans present, all the seats were full, and the atmosphere was very hot until the end.

Or is there something else here that she doesn't know?

How about checking out the comments on related tags?

"Let's look for it, maybe there will be some clues."

With a give-it-a-give attitude, she returned to the homepage of the band's website and clicked on the tag related to crychic.

"many"

Sure enough, she found quite a few comments, and it took her a lot of effort to turn to the bottom page.

【crychic is so cool! 】

【I look forward to crychic's future growth.】

【I can’t stop crying.】

This band has such a high level of talent, and everyone's skills are amazing.

[I wonder if you've noticed, but the rhythm guitarist in the group seems to be the daughter of actress Mori Minami. I never thought someone with such a background would form a band.]

The lead guitarist is also amazing, and he and the bassist in the band are probably siblings, or even siblings! So sweet!

The above are all positive comments about the band crychic. Of course, they are not all of them. She just picked out some of them and deleted them.

Because the real heavyweights are the negative comments mixed in here, for example.

The lead singer is working too hard.

[This is such a popular performance for the first time? Is it just hype?]

[It feels like this band is being run by an agency in many ways, with the goal of making money?]

I don't understand the lyrics either. This band is just playing house.

This wasn't the most intense part of the message. The remaining messages even contained blocked words, and she had absolutely no intention of clicking on them.

After all, any discerning person can see that these negative comments are actually nonsense, and there is no argument to support their validity.

Between the lines, she saw only malicious slander and jealousy. After all, villains do not discriminate between circles.

Maybe only the first one, the one at the bottom, which said the lead singer was too hard-working... is a little interesting, but it may also be a misunderstanding. After all, it was caused by being too involved, not working hard.

So even she, an outsider, can understand this, so how could Ichinose Asaba and the others not understand this?

No matter how you think about it, the problem can't be this. It's too unrealistic to think that the band will disband because they can't withstand negative comments.

If we look back at the rest of the comments, which are the comments a few months after the live ended, we can see that they basically went from polarized to one-sided.

At the beginning, there may be some fans standing up to defend the band, but later on, they basically just burned incense and paid tributes. After all, crychic ended too suddenly, leaving people no time to react.

"Ok?"

Just when Yukinoshita Yukino was about to close the comment section, she suddenly saw the latest news.

The release date shown above is

"The day before yesterday?"

This surprised her a little. She didn't expect that more than a year had passed and there would still be new comments.

Are you a fan of crychic?

[Wasn't this band great? Why did it suddenly break up? Does anyone know the reason?]

[I'm just curious because I just recently discovered this band and the songs they released are amazing!]

Then she clicked on it and found that there was no reply under this comment, but this was normal.

The weirdest thing is that a small account like this, which is obviously newly created, is commenting here.

Could it be that the other party is also a friend of someone in this band, and followed the clues to investigate like her?

Otherwise, there is no need to use the newly registered account. If this is not because you are afraid of being discovered, what else could it be?

So...would you like to add me as a friend and ask about the situation? It would be even better if we could share intelligence.

""

After thinking it over again and again, she decided to test the other party first. After all, it was all her subjective judgment. It would be embarrassing if the other party agreed with her friend but did something different from what she thought.

So, she also followed the other person's instructions and created a new account, then returned to the comment and sent a message saying, "Same question, I'm curious too."

All that remains is to see her reaction. I hope she won’t be disappointed.

After doing all this, Yukinoshita Yukino slowly saved the URL and closed the page. She turned up the air conditioner temperature and slowly walked towards the bathroom.

After being busy for so long, I finally have time to take a shower. After all, it’s really uncomfortable to feel sticky all over.

There was a rustling sound, and after throwing all the clothes into the laundry basket at the door, soon the sound of water splashing came from the bathroom.

　Moon.Yi*First/Post-

At the same time that Yukinoshita Yukino was taking a bath, at the same time, in a Japanese-style courtyard on the other side, Ichinose Asaba had just finished facing the "judgment" of the old man.

"Yu...are you okay?"

The moment Ichinose Asaba put down his guitar, Kaname Rakuna rushed up and hugged his arms.

His words were full of worry.

To be honest, she was originally very happy that Asaba Ichinose could play the guitar, because in the year of separation, she was thinking about the sound of Asaba Ichinose's guitar almost all the time, a sound that made her happy, as satisfying as eating a matcha parfait.

After all, it can be said that she was taught to play the guitar by Asaba Ichinose herself, so only she can understand the sound produced by Asaba Ichinose's guitar.

To put it simply, it should be relaxed and cheerful.

But now? All she heard was heaviness, as if the strings were no longer strings, but heavy shackles, full of struggle and despair.

And in the midst of despair, all she heard was a little clarity, representing hope and redemption.

That was what she really wanted, not this noise.

She was also familiar with the noise, because when SPACE was just closed and Asaba Ichinose left her, the guitar she played during that period also had this kind of noise.

It was for this reason that she chose to put down the guitar in the next two years.

As for recovering later, that was a story for the future, so she was now very sure that Ichinose Asaba's current condition was the same as hers, or even worse.

"It's okay... I'll be fine after a short rest."

Yaoi Qiyi Ersixi Yaoi Asaba took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead. His chest was heaving violently, as if he had just experienced something horrible and was trying hard to adjust himself.

In fact, this was caused by his being too nervous. After all, this time he was no longer facing himself in the mirror, but Tsuzuki Shisen, who was known for his strictness.

Her graying hair meticulously coiffed, the legendary guitarist Dozuki Shifune, known to both as "Grandma," had lost her usual dignity. Instead, she sighed, "I've grown, but... it's not enough."

After saying that, she slowly shook her head, and her eyes fell on Ichinose Asaba as if they could penetrate people's hearts.

"grandmother"

Ichinose Asaba didn't know how he performed just now, but judging from what the old man just said, although he was not particularly satisfied, at least he avoided a scolding.

Then he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and his trembling fingertips gradually regained their composure.

The next second, the old woman's voice came again, but this time her words were more unquestionable, "Qianyu, you can do better."

"Don't be bound by the past. Try to break free from it. That's what you should do most now."

Remember that phone call on the beach? Back then, Tsuzuki Shifune had already seen the real problem with Ichinose Asaba.

It can be said that over the past year or so, Asaba Ichinose has been bound almost every day by the closure of SPACE, the disbanding of the band, and even earlier experiences.

Now he has let go of the SPACE incident, figured it out, and made some progress in the band, as if he had untied a certain knot in his heart, so now he can play a complete song in front of her.

But untying the knot to a certain extent does not mean completely untying it, so if he wants to completely get rid of the past and usher in a new life, the first thing he needs to do is to solve the biggest problem first.

And who is this trouble?

The answer is obvious. It is Shoko Toyokawa, the starting point of the band and also the end point of the band.

While he reconciled with the other members of the band, only Shoko Toyokawa was still like a thorn in his heart, so as long as Asaba Ichinose could resolve this matter, the matter would come to an end.

Yes, it is that simple, but it is also very difficult.

“I’m doing my best to do that.”

Ichinose Asaba also understood this, so when faced with the old man's advice, he nodded without hesitation.

“I saw it, so next time”

"I will do better."

This time, before Tsuzuki Shifune could finish her words, Ichinose Asaba predicted what she was going to say and answered first.

After hearing what Ichinose Asaba said, the old man was a little surprised and stunned for a moment, then he reacted and nodded with satisfaction.

Originally, she thought she had to say something more to make Ichinose Asaba say such words, but now it seems that she was indeed overthinking it.

Isn't this already realized?
