"Indeed." Lixi nodded. She had to admit that if she hadn't known in advance that this was their song, she might not have been able to recognize it at first.
By the time these ten songs were over, more than an hour had passed. Although it was a mix of Mujica and mygo's songs, the audience in the audience really enjoyed it.
The host walked up from the side of the stage: "Everyone, it's halftime. Now let's interview some members of Mujica."
The host's words were like a ray of light, piercing the dark sky of Miao Meng, and she could finally take a short break.
It was called an interview, but everyone knew that it was just an excuse to let Mujica's people take a break, so the interview would not last long at all. Five or six minutes was long enough.
Miao Meng placed the drumsticks on the drum set, her hands trembling slightly. Although the daily training time was at least an hour, this was the first time she had played ten complete and different songs in one breath.
If it's just a few hours of playing a song, that's fine.
The host looked at them with a smile: "Some viewers want to know, who is the most hardworking member of Mujica? Can you answer?"
Mu turned around blankly and tilted his head to look at Ruomai: "Is it... Ruomai?"
"It depends on the specific song, but I personally think it's Ruomai." Chu Hua nodded. After all, Ruomai has never played any light-hearted songs so far.
Hailing flexed her fingers. "It's definitely Ruomai, but if you factor in the energy spent on composing the music and lyrics, as well as other things, it'll look different."
Xiangzi leaned on the keyboard, his eyes unconsciously sweeping over Miao Meng, and then landing on the host: "Anyway, let's rule out Amoris first."
After receiving responses from the other four, the host came over to Miao Meng and asked, "Ms. Yutenji, everyone wants to hear you perform 'Symbol I:'. Could you please perform the instrumental solo that follows?"
"?" Miao Meng turned to look at the host in surprise.
Huh? Didn't Xiangzi agree that the solo part would be Mutsuko and her performance? Give me some time to rest... You want me to play twice?
ha?
Seeing Miao Meng's expression, Xiangzi spoke up to the host on her behalf: "Ms. Host, we know that most of the audience are fans of this song, right?"
"Indeed." The host nodded.
"Of course, we won't let the audience down. Ruomai will show the solo of 'Symbol I:'"
After saying this, Xiangzi turned around and bowed to the audience in the auditorium, his manners showing great elegance.
This sentence made the audience in the audience cheer continuously. Some of them really came for this song, and now they got Xiangzi's guarantee, how could they not be happy for Master Wu Liu?
Miao Meng blinked and looked at Xiangzi in confusion. "Didn't we agree to let me take a break? The song we chose for the encore is also "Symbol I: ", so... Toyokawa Xiangzi, you want me to play it three times?
It is true that Miao Meng can play this song skillfully, but being able to play it skillfully does not mean that he likes to play it.
"Eh? I'm playing 'Symbol I: ', is that true?"
Chapter 335: The End of Tokyo Dome
"Really? Everyone's looking forward to it." The host smiled at Miao Meng, "Ms. Yutenji, many of your fans fell in love with you because of this song, right?"
Recovering from the shock just now, Ruomai nodded: "Ah? Oh, yes."
This is true. Since she performed "Symbol I:" at the Budokan, her personal account has gained hundreds of thousands of followers, forcing her to change the style of her account from beauty and makeup to drumming.
Although her beauty account, which she had accumulated over a long period of time, has become like this, Miao Meng does not feel sad. Although she had many fans before, basically not many people watched her beauty videos. But now that she has become famous by playing drums, the number of views of each video is several times or even dozens of times higher than before.
For Miao Meng, this personal account only needs traffic.
Miao Meng turned to look at the host and smiled politely, "Indeed, quite a few fans came for 'Symbol I:'."
"I heard that the drum sheet for this song is not something that ordinary people can play. Miss Yutenji will play it twice in a while. What do you think?"
Although the host said it was two times, she knew in her heart that it was actually three times, but the encore segment could not be revealed to the audience in advance.
Miao Meng's eyes twitched. Thoughts? What thoughts? I'm exhausted. What else can I thank you for?
Tsk, who among my family members understands...
However, Miao Meng could just think this in her heart, but she couldn't say it out loud: "I'm very happy that the fans like my drums. If they want, it's okay for me to play a few more times."
Looking at Miao Meng's appearance, Xiangzi couldn't help but recall the scene when Miao Meng quarreled with him.
Do you really understand what the audience wants? We have to cater to the audience—that’s what Miao Meng said at the beginning, but now…
Cater to the audience? It seems that Ruomai has given up on this idea. Although he says he will cater to the audience, his body is very honest.
It was five minutes later when the host finished interviewing Miao Meng.
There was no suspense in the subsequent performance process, except that the originally scheduled solo of Mu became a rotating solo between her and Miao Meng.
The whole performance was pretty much as Xiangzi and Hailing had expected. After the audience's emotions gradually calmed down, it happened to be their turn to play "Symbol I: ". With this song, they once again raised the heat of the whole venue.
As for the encore, they chose the two songs that the audience had most requested: "Symbol I:" and "Ave Mujica".
Back in the lounge, Miao Meng plopped down on the sofa. Three hours of intense drumming had left her exhausted, but fortunately, she made zero mistakes during these three hours.
"Huh... I'm so tired." Miao Meng sank into the sofa. "This money is really hard to make."
"But this Tokyo Dome performance was a success, and the audience loved it." Xiangzi looked at her with a smirk, "Ruomai, you must continue to cater to the audience in the future."
"What the hell is catering to?" Miao Meng rolled her eyes at Xiangzi. For her, catering to the audience was premised on the fact that there was no threat to her own life.
Xiangzi looked disappointed: "Oh, this drummer really is... he starts to exclude the audience as soon as he gets popular, right?"
"What's the exclusion?" Miao Meng didn't have the mood to chat with Xiangzi at the moment. She closed her eyes and said, "I won't talk to you anymore. I need to rest for a while."
Hearing this, Xiangzi nodded and stopped playing with Miao Meng.
After the lounge quieted down, Mu walked over to Hailing and gently tugged at her clothes: "Um... Hailing, generally speaking, when can we be on the popularity list after our performance?"
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Hailing was confused, but she still told Mu, "Generally speaking, it takes about half an hour to an hour."
"Oh, I see..." Mu sat aside silently, her hands tightly gripping the phone, her eyes fixed on the screen, not noticing that her fingers were starting to turn white from exerting too much force.
Chu Hua looked up at Mu: "Why did you suddenly start paying attention to the popularity list, Xiao Mu?"
"I...I..." Mu turned his face away, his expression hesitant.
"Mu..."
Xiangzi's voice suddenly rang out behind Mu. She turned around and saw Xiangzi with a calm face: "Xiangzi..."
"Mu, what happened?"
However, Xiangzi only received Mu's silence. Seeing this, she sat down next to Mu, gently took Mu's hand, and said, "If you have any difficulties, please tell us. We will all help you."
"This..." Mu bit his lower lip. He had not told anyone about this because of Aine-chan's matter, but now... Aine-chan has been discharged from the hospital. If he told them, it wouldn't cause trouble to anyone, right?
No... Aine-chan was finally discharged from the hospital, and the Tokyo Dome was successfully held. If they heard the news at the beginning, their mood would definitely get worse...
Xiangzi seemed to see Mu's concerns and could not help but put some strength in his hands. The sudden tightening of his grip made Mu stunned for a moment. Xiangzi said, "It's okay. Your business is our business. Don't worry."
"Yes." Miao Meng opened her eyes without knowing when.
Mu glanced at the four of them, nodded, and told them about the agreement he had made with Minami.
After Mu finished speaking, Miao Meng lost her composure. She stood up, completely free of her initial fatigue. "What is this? World-class number one trending search? How is that even possible? Even Minami herself hasn't achieved that."
"Huh? Really?" Mu was stunned for a moment. She didn't know about this kind of thing. To be exact, she didn't pay attention to this kind of thing.
Hai Ling frowned slightly: "This kind of thing... can we really do it alone?"
Not to mention being number one in the world, she feels that being number one on Japan's trending search list is already very impressive.
Chu Hua took out his phone and said, "It's been a few minutes since the Tokyo Dome event ended, and our popularity has reached the second most searched topic in Japan... Is there any hope?"
Chu Hua turned his gaze to Hai Ling, but the latter just shook her head silently. Although their performance was very eye-catching, it was still not worth mentioning in the world. There were many people who were much more famous than them.
The relaxed atmosphere after the Tokyo Dome event was gone, and all that was left was boredom and worry.
Xiangzi sat aside, his arms folded across his chest, his face filled with anger. "Really, Mu, why did you hide this from me? Do you really consider me your childhood sweetheart?"
"I... I'm sorry, Xiangzi. I was afraid that if I told you about what happened with Aine-chan, you would be even more worried..."
Hearing this, Xiangzi was furious but she kept it all bottled up in her heart. What could she say? Mu's original intention was good.
"Shoko... don't tell Aine-chan and the others, okay?" Mu lowered his head. "I don't want her to worry..."
"I see." Xiangzi sighed deeply and stood up. "I'm going home today and looking for my grandfather to see if he can help me."
Chapter 336: Money Got (Two Chapters Left)
Back at the Toyokawa family home, Shoko sat in his room.
Originally, she went directly to her grandfather's room, but unfortunately, he was in a group meeting and was not there.
Xiangzi sat at his desk with his chin in one hand, looking at the comments from fans on his phone, all of which were positive.
After flipping through it for a few times, Xiangzi threw his phone aside and lay down on the table.
According to the agreement with Toyokawa Sadaharu, Xiangzi will definitely get a large sum of money, but she does not look very happy at the moment.
With a long sigh, Xiangzi's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, his mind full of what he and everyone had talked about this afternoon.
If Mu hadn't been allowed to go to mygo during this period, and had gone on his own, he would have been able to focus more on practicing those difficult Mujica pieces, and his perfection at Tokyo Dome would have definitely been even higher...
As expected... I should have accepted Rikki's request myself... Who knows, Mujica might have two identities - the fastest legend in Tokyo Dome and the band with the best performance in the first show.
With these two titles, the traffic will definitely increase, maybe it will meet Minami's requirements, right?
Thinking of this, Xiangzi stood up and took the phone back in her hand. She had been following the world's hot search list since the end of Tokyo Dome. Unfortunately, not to mention first place, their Mujica didn't even make it to the world's hot search list.
"It's been several hours, and it looks like... there's no hope..."
Just when Xiangzi was feeling bored, there was a gentle knock on her door, and the housekeeper called softly outside the door, "Miss."
Hearing the call, Xiangzi jumped up from her chair. She knew that her grandfather had returned.
Without hesitation, Xiangzi pushed open the door and came to her grandfather's room, where the latter was indeed sitting on a chair waiting for her.
The moment Xiangzi pushed the door open, a glimmer of admiration flashed in Toyokawa Sadaharu's eyes. He didn't expect that Xiangzi could actually organize the Tokyo Dome, and do it so perfectly, even while helping another band in the middle.
He was in frequent contact with Xiangzi's agency, so he naturally knew about the things Xiangzi did in the company - including composing music and lyrics, touring, and another band.
Although he had said before that he would not help her with the Tokyo Dome incident, he couldn't help but provide more or less help in private, but most of it still depended on the efforts of Xiangzi and her band.
Toyokawa Sadaharu naturally recognized Xiangzi's ability. In about a year, he went from forming a band to performing at the Tokyo Dome, and the performance was so perfect. How many people can do that?
"Xiangzi." Toyokawa Sadaharu changed his usual serious expression, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. The more he looked at his granddaughter, the more he liked her.
"grandfather……"
Without waiting for Xiangzi to speak, Toyokawa Sadaharu placed a bank card on the table: "Here is the money agreed to be given to you. I also transferred some of the shares of the Toyokawa family to you today."
After a pause, Toyokawa Sadaharu continued, "Although the group's dividends are irregular, I will have the group pay you your share every month. The dividend money will be in this card."
As he spoke, Toyokawa Sadaharu took out another bank card and placed it next to him.
"After that, when are you going to come visit the group?"
"Me?" Xiangzi was stunned. She had never considered this question. "I don't know."
"How about finishing college as soon as possible?" Toyokawa Sadaharu saw that Xiangzi was not ready yet. Of course, there was no need to call Xiangzi over for the group's affairs. He said this just to give Xiangzi a shot of prevention in advance.
From now until the end of university, Xiangzi still has more than five years, and this period of time is enough for her to think about it - this is what Toyokawa Sadaharu thinks.
"Okay." Xiangzi nodded and answered casually, "Grandfather, I have two things I want to ask of you."
"What?" Toyokawa Sadaharu took a sip of the freshly brewed tea. He was in a good mood today.
"The first thing is, I want Grandpa to find some equipment that can help treat Xiao Ai's ALS."
"Equipment?" Toyokawa Sadaharu's face was calm. He placed the teacup in his hand on the table. "She's currently at NCNP, the most advanced neurology treatment center in Japan, right? Is there still a need for equipment?"
"After all...there's still some distance between Japanese and American medicine."
Although Xiangzi didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was obvious. Toyokawa Sadaharu also understood it and nodded: "Okay, I understand. I'll have my subordinates take care of this matter."
After saying this, Toyokawa Sadaharu looked at Xiangzi and continued, "What about the other thing?"
After much hesitation, Xiangzi finally spoke: "Grandfather, can you help Mu?"
Hearing this name, Toyokawa Sadaharu was stunned for a moment: "Mu? What happened to her?"
"She made a bet with her mother..."
After telling Toyokawa Sadaharu what Mutsu had told her today, Xiangzi stood quietly aside, looking at Toyokawa Sadaharu who looked thoughtful, as if expecting him to come up with some good ideas.
After listening to what Xiangzi said, Toyokawa Sadaharu fell silent.
Minami had never told me about this. She had come to me before just for the child named Chihaya and the matter of Xiangzi's band.
Becoming the number one trending search on the world's list? I don't know what Minami is thinking, but I can be sure of one thing: for her to say such a thing, either there is a serious problem with her brain, or... it is pure nonsense.
However, based on my understanding of Minami, I am more inclined to believe that she is talking nonsense and is actually trying to scare Mu?
However, even if Xiangzi said so, he was embarrassed to come forward and tell Minami to let Mu stay in the band. After all, it was the Wakaba family's family affair, and the Toyokawa family's intervention seemed a bit overstepping the mark.
