Collapse, surrender to me!

Not to mention that after Goto Ichiri's parents found that Pochi-chan really started to change because of music, they fully supported it.

I heard that Goto's mother almost cried.

"I was really scared for her. In the end, she was still alone when she attended her sister's wedding."

These are the exact words of Goto’s mother.

Although it sounds exaggerated, after all, Yili’s sister is only five years old now.

But everyone felt that what Goto's mother said was not an exaggeration at all.

Of course, more importantly – the members of the band.

If it was that kind of "mature" underground rock band.

In the minds of many adults, there is almost no difference between most rock bands and bad boys, and they can be equated.

Smoking, drinking, and even many messy things and scandals.

Even if they could earn money to support the family, they would not leave their daughter in such a place.

But Bond is different.

Just one look at the members gives you a sense of security.

No matter whether it is popular or not.

There is a sense of security.

"SHOPPING!"

Accompanied by Hongxia's slogan.

Crowds of people poured into the streets of Shimokitazawa.

Shimokitazawa is the place that once appeared in Jay Chou’s MV “Say Good Not to Cry”.

As a Japanese metropolis, Tokyo is one of the regions.

It also has its own unique features.

In the world's top 2019 coolest street scenes selected by online media Time Out Index 50, Shimokitazawa was ranked second in the world, second only to Lisbon, Portugal.

As the reason for its selection, Shimokitazawa is like Brooklyn in the New York metropolis, but more charming. Unlike Shibuya and Shinjuku, Shimokitazawa retains a good sense of fashion and has many subcultures brewing from the underground.

Shimokitazawa is a free and retro piece of land located in the bustling center of Tokyo.

Chapter 71 Going international!

As we all know, rock bands are also a kind of subculture.

Hongxia’s dream of forming a band is inseparable from the popular cultural atmosphere of Shimokitazawa itself.

This is a favorite place for Tokyo's creative people.

Record stores, theaters, everywhere.

The relaxed bohemian vibe of Shimokitazawa offers a welcome respite from the frenetic energy of Tokyo’s fast pace.

Whether it is a musical theater or vintage clothes, everywhere is filled with the breath of young people, creating a unique street atmosphere.

"In 1982, the famous actor Kazuo Honda founded the Honda Theater named after himself here, which led to a mini-theater boom in the surrounding area. Many young people who love music and drama regard Shimokitazawa as a stage where they can showcase their talents and a place where they can place their dreams."

Hongxia was walking on the street.

She said this with her hands behind her back.

"So after my sister knew my thoughts, she quit the band and opened a performance hall here."

Of course, in the past, people didn’t have much time to experience this kind of atmosphere.

Because of two words: poor.

Shimokitazawa’s most distinctive labels are music, drama, and vintage clothing.

It's not something that can be obtained without money.

And still in school.

"Anyway, we can definitely buy team uniforms here that we can use for the performance!"

Hongxia now seems to be a bit wealthy.

Now you can confidently step into the various clothing stores and trendy shopping malls that used to line the streets.

Because Shimokitazawa has many quaint independently owned bookstores, grocery stores, restaurants, cafes and bars, there are almost no car traffic on the streets, making this an excellent walking neighborhood, suitable for visiting one store after another.

"This one is pretty good. It seems to have a history of over a hundred years..."

“I heard this shop is really popular on Instagram. Even Japanese celebrities and models frequent it!”

"Here is also fine!"

……

Several girls were chattering.

The atmosphere is pretty good.

originally.

This is what everyone thinks.

But then things started to develop in a strange direction.

Originally, I just wanted to find a team uniform so that everyone could dress in a unified way, but when I walked into the store, I found that it was just as Hongxia said, every piece of clothing here was great.

So the style of painting gradually changed.

"Pochi-chan, take off your pink sweatshirt! This skirt looks very suitable for you!"

Hong Xia came over holding a pure white dress that reflected youthful style.

But Pochi-chan retreated madly, and finally stuck to the wall like a piece of pancake crust.

Then it was torn off by Hong Xia and dragged into the fitting room.

Not long after, waves of tempting screams of young girls were heard from the fitting room.

Accompanied by a set of yada yada yada butterfly extermination.

Goto Ichiri walked out with lifeless eyes.

It attracted everyone's attention in an instant.

As the old saying goes, Buddha relies on gold ornaments, and people rely on clothes.

Yili, wearing a white dress, gave people a completely different feeling.

"It's like a melon transformed into an exquisite doll..."

Ryo commented.

Plus that evasive look because of shyness.

Like a frightened little rabbit, it is very pitiful.

"Wait! This one looks good too!"

At this moment, Hongxia suddenly looked to the other side and immediately dragged Yili back again.

Gresh looked at Ichiri with pleading eyes.

He immediately spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless.

"Anyway, let Hongxia and Ichiri take care of choosing the uniforms."

Liang shook his head as he looked at the two people who couldn't finish the task in a short time.

"Let's find a cafe to discuss the performance."

The remaining few people raised their hands in agreement.

Wait a little longer, who knows if the matter of choosing team uniforms will change from Hongxia and Yili to Hongxia and someone else.

The thought of Yili being stripped naked repeatedly by Hongxia and then dressed in new clothes made me feel depressed.

Everyone felt the same way.

Under Liang's leadership, several people came to a cafe called BEAR POND, which is said to be very famous.

The owner is a very cool guy who came back from the United States specifically to open this store.

The whole store is full of retro country style, and the espresso it provides has a unique flavor, with a thick and sticky taste, and is very delicious.

Of course, several people didn't come here just to drink coffee.

After accepting the invitation.

The song list for the performance is about to be submitted.

After all, the coordination of the on-site lighting and the length of the music all need to be arranged.

Some people even sing a medley of two songs together because they are too long.

Of course, the restrictions vary depending on the status of the person.

"Normally, our band has to provide three songs. Some popular bands definitely provide more than that. These are top bands and singers, and they have little to do with us."

Liang took a sip of coffee, then picked up a pen and briefly explained the situation.

"If it's three songs, it shouldn't be that difficult to choose. After all, the total number of songs we have released now is less than ten." Hong Xia counted on her fingers and didn't think it was a big problem.

"It's really not a big problem. Mine was PASSED first."

Liang took himself out first.

I once thought about giving up on her song, but after experiencing it these days, I still feel that it is far from enough.

"I'm helping you eliminate wrong options."

Liang explained to himself.

"The remaining songs are fine, but they should fit the theme of SS."

"As for the theme, Hong Xia's fireworks are actually pretty good."

Kita suggested.

As a music festival that can achieve RMB 300 million in ticket revenue in three days.

It has long been labeled a summer festival.

Adding fireworks also fits the theme of the summer festival.

"I think this is good too." Liang nodded, and then said to Gray: "What do you think?"

"Huh? What's wrong with my sister?"

Grayxiu scooped a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth.

She doesn't care, as long as everyone is happy.

"That's settled then... As for the remaining two songs, you need to come up with a foreign song first."

"Foreign song?"

"Yes."

Liang nodded and said as a matter of course.

"This is the largest music festival in Asia, so even if it is for the purpose of increasing popularity and gaining an international image, it is impossible to only sing Japanese songs."

"National...international image?"

Kita, who was fighting with Grayshu for the ice cream, almost poked her tongue with the spoon when she heard this.

"Isn't this thinking too far ahead..."

“Not far.”

Liang said as a matter of course.

Or maybe other people have no idea, but Liang can see how great the band's potential is.
