Zongman: There are a few beautiful girls who like me

When Kawaharaki Momoka looked at An and Subaru's smiling faces, a row of black lines suddenly appeared on her forehead.

But I have to admit that An Hesuba's idea is indeed a good one.

Not only did it help Kawahara Ki Momoka get out of her depressed mood, it also satisfied their curiosity and eased the relationship between Kawahara Ki Momoka and Kitagawa Yu. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

Plus, after so much time had passed, her stubbornness had reached its end.

So, she had no reason to refuse, right?

"What kind of drinks should I buy?"

After another moment of silence, Kawaharaki Momoka said as she stood up from her chair.

Chapter 93 Help! The King has brought a small account to the Bronze Division to fish~~!

"Well, how about coffee and green tea?"

"..."

Are you sure you're not hinting at something?

An He Subaru explained with a smile: "Kitagawa-kun should be in charge of recording like me, so drinking coffee is just right to refresh yourself. Yuemian-chan can't drink too sweet drinks because she has to record songs, so green tea is just right."

Momoka Kawahara shrugged coolly, obviously convinced by her.

So two minutes later, Kitagawa Yu had just finished the second recording and returned to the monitoring room.

Just at this moment, Kawaharaki Momoka and An Hesuba, holding a bottle of coffee, a bottle of green tea, and two bottles of drinks of their own, knocked on the door.

"Huh? It's you guys?"

Kitagawa You walked over, opened the door, and when he saw that it was Momoka Kawaharaki and Subaru An outside the door, he was stunned for a moment as expected.

But what surprised him even more was yet to come.

"Oh... I'm really sorry about what happened just now... So... would you like some drinks? This is the coffee and green tea we just bought."

With the "encouragement" from An and Subaru beside her, Kawahara Ki Momoka spoke with some embarrassment.

This made Kitagawa You unable to help but be stunned for a moment, and a strange look flashed quickly in his eyes. At the same time, his impression of Kawaharaki Momoka changed slightly... a little bit.

"Thank you!"

After a brief hesitation, Kitagawa You reached out and took the coffee and green tea from her hands, accepted her apology, and then stepped aside to let them in.

At this time, An Hesuba also took the opportunity to ask enthusiastically: "How is the recording of your songs going? Is there anything we can help with? Momo-chan is a frequent visitor here. She writes the lyrics, composes the music, and records all her songs by herself. She is very familiar with these operations."

Upon hearing this, Kitagawa You's face smiled a little more, and his favorability towards this little angel An Hesuba also increased a lot.

However, he still said politely: "Thank you for your kindness, but please don't bother. Our recording is going relatively smoothly."

"Then can we listen to the songs you recorded?" An Hesuba asked at this time.

If this was said by Kawahara Momoka, Kitagawa Yuu might find it abrupt, but if it was said by An and Subaru...

Just looking at the smile on her face, which was just as friendly as Rupa's and even sweeter than Rupa's, Kitagawa You really couldn't refuse.

"Sure," Beichuan You paused for a moment, and then took the opportunity to say, "If everything goes well, our two songs should be released on Spotify tonight. We hope you will support us then~"

"So what's the name of your band? Let me follow you first—"

An He Subaru was slightly stunned at first, as if she didn't expect Kitagawa Yu and the others to be so fast, but then she took out her mobile phone and skillfully opened Spotify while talking.

"The name of our band is 'White Sands'. We were formed not long ago, so these two songs are actually our debut singles."

Kitagawa Yu came to the operating table and first played the recorded "Sunflower" again. Then he handed the two headphones to An and Subaru, who had already followed them, and Kawahara Ki Momoka, who had not said anything but had also opened Spotify and searched for them.

Then......

It is no exaggeration to say that Kawahara Ki Momoka and the others were really a little scared.

Although Kitagawa Yu has not had time to adjust the post-production reverb and other effects, and the current "Sunflower" is not yet the final product, the warm singing and melody are still far beyond their imagination.

It’s like when you are playing ranked games. Before entering the game, you think the opponent is a bronze player like you. But after entering the game, you suddenly find out that the opponent is a king who uses a smurf to attack the fish pond.

That feeling is really so sour and refreshing!

In addition, in addition to the good song writing and Tsukimi Eiko's singing, the two thought of another question after listening to it, which is...

"Did you just record this song?!"

"Yeah," Kitagawa Yuu didn't mind pretending to be cool in front of Kawaharaki Momoka and hitting this guy, so he shrugged casually and said, "Eiko-chan only recorded this song once and passed it. Now we are recording the second one."

"..."

"..."

I'm most afraid of the sudden silence in the air~

It only took one go and the result was so good that there was absolutely no flaw to be found.

The abundant emotions contained in the song directly touched their hearts and made them feel extremely warm.

This is too exaggerated, isn’t it?!

For a moment, An and Subaru were stunned, and their mouths could not help but open into an O shape.

As for Momoka Kawahara who was standing by, she couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. She felt so upset that she almost fainted.

"They're both lead singers, but the difference is too big, isn't it?"

"And these two guys, are they really new?"

"Are newcomers so scary these days?"

Kawaharaki Momoka's gaze first swept to the side, at Tsukimi Eiko, who looked innocent and cute, or... silly and stupid, and then looked at Kitagawa Yu again, still feeling a little bit of disbelief in her heart.

But the fact was right in front of her. She, Kitagawa Yu and Tsukimi Eiko came to the recording studio together, so she couldn't help but believe it even if she wanted to.

"What about the other song?" An Hesuba came back to his senses at this time and asked with a hint of indescribable nervousness and anticipation in his voice.

"I'm the one who's going to sing the other song. I've just finished recording it for the second time and haven't had time to hear the results yet."

Kitagawa Yu chose to tell the truth, which made An Hesuba and Kawaharaki Momoka both breathe a sigh of relief after hearing it.

If Kitagawa Yu could also pass "Sunflowers" in one take according to such high standards, it would be too discouraging.

"Can we listen to it then?"

"Okay~"

As Kitagawa Yu spoke, he also played the song "Horizontal Line" that he had just recorded, and switched the sound to public playback mode.

This way, he and Tsukimi Eiko could save time and listen together.

Then......

I have to say that the sound equipment in this studio is really good.

At the same time, compared to playing with headphones, rock music is more suitable for playing with speakers.

The warm and touching melody, and the singing voice that was almost 95% of the level of the original Prince Miyabi, with the addition of high-quality audio equipment, was like a pair of warm hands, gently covering the ears of Momoka Kawahara and Subaru An, making them close their eyes involuntarily and even subconsciously forget to breathe.

Although due to his limited talent, Kitagawa Yu's singing is not as good as Tsukimi Eiko's, but in terms of the touching level, this song "Horizontal Line" is not inferior to the previous "Sunflower".

Even if we compare the quality of the songs themselves, "Horizontal Line", as Prince Miu's most classic work, is much better than "Sunflower", which is just an ordinary work of Ado.

This undoubtedly brought a greater shock to Kawahara Ki Momoka and the others than before.

After listening to it, they looked at each other subconsciously and fell into silence. For a moment, they even forgot about the compliments and praises. The same thought popped up in their heads, that is...

"Where did this new guy come from? His creative ability... is it simply a monster!?"

Chapter 94 An Accidental Quadruple Kill

It is no exaggeration to say that with just this song "Horizontal Line", even if Kitagawa Yu's subsequent works are all mediocre, he and his Baisha Band are enough to have a place in the underground independent band circle.

In fact, even the top underground independent band, Pathological Hackers, has only one representative work, "Ghost Only Me", and its quality is far inferior to that of "Horizontal Line".

There is also the band "Diamond Stardust" that Momoka Kawahara used to be in, but they actually only have one representative work, "Empty Box".

Then, with this representative work, they were noticed by the agency and successfully promoted to a mainstream girl idol band. Even though their subsequent works are relatively mediocre, they now have the popularity of a "third-tier idol".

What's more, in addition to "Horizontal Line", Kitagawa Yu also has another song called "Sunflower".

The song was picked up by the then-famous Ado and chosen as the theme song for a TBS Japanese drama, ranking 30th on the Billboard weekly chart.

Even if "Sunflower" is not the best among Ado's works, it is still a work that far surpasses "Ghost Me" and "Empty Box" in horizontal comparison.

“No wonder a band like them, which has just been formed and has no performance experience, can receive an invitation to perform at Shinjuku LOFT. I have to say that they have a good eye for developing a performance hall~”

Even when the two of them returned to their own recording studio next door, An and Subaru couldn't help but sigh quietly.

This made Kawaharaki Momoka shake her head. She didn't regain her confidence and ease, but instead felt more stressed.

"Ah, sorry!"

At this time, An Hesuba also realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, so he hurriedly wanted to say something to comfort her.

But the facts were there. Whether it was singing talent or creative talent, there was a huge difference between the two that was visible to the naked eye. This made her not know what to say for a moment.

But at this moment, she suddenly thought of something. She quickly took out her mobile phone and opened Spotify to take a look. Then she switched to Instagram and opened the personal homepage of the "White Sand Band" she just followed and looked at it for two seconds. Finally, she switched to YouTube.

Then he said to Kawaharagi Momoka with an excited look: "Hey, Momo-chan! Come and see what I found--"

"Kitagawa-kun is just the captain, keyboardist, and sub-vocalist, and Tsukimi-chan is just the lead vocalist and guitarist!"

"It seems that their band currently only has two people!!!"

An He Subaru did not keep the suspense. Before Kawahara Ki Momoka could come over after hearing the sound, he told her his "important" discovery in one breath.

"What? There are only two people in their band!?"

After hearing this, Kawahara Ki Momoka was stunned for a moment, then her pupils trembled. Her originally slow pace suddenly increased a lot, and she quickly came to An Hesuba's phone and looked over with wide eyes.

Then just as An Hesuba said, whether on YouTube, Instagram or Spotify, the profile of the Baisha band only had the names of Kitagawa Yuu and Tsukimi Eiko, and there was no third person!

"So, so what."

Momoka Kawahara said this, but her heart was beating faster and faster, her clenched hands were shaking slightly, and a bold idea popped up in her mind uncontrollably.

At this moment, An Hesuba, as her good friend, could see through her tense body under her seemingly calm face, as well as her true thoughts.

However, An Hesuba pretended not to notice and said seriously, "Look, I'm a drummer, right? Momo-chan is good at bass in addition to guitar, right? It just so happens that what Kitagawa-kun and his friends are lacking is a drummer and a bassist, so the two of us are a perfect match for them!"

"But... not all the songs they sing are rock. For example, the song 'Sunflower' is just an ordinary pop song... And if I join their band, I won't be able to sing my own songs anymore..."

Kawahara Ki Momoka was silent for a while, and after calming herself down a little, she frankly expressed her concerns.

This was somewhat unexpected for An Hesuba, and he couldn't help but frown.

"That's right... From the contact just now, it can be seen that Kitagawa-kun is the absolute leader in their band. Tsukimi-chan is a little bit stupid, but she likes Kitagawa-kun so much, and she will definitely listen to Kitagawa-kun..."

The more An and Subaru spoke, the lower their voices became.

So much so that there is still one unpleasant but very true thing that has not been said at the end, which is that Kawaharaki Momoka's creative level is far inferior to that of Kitagawa Yu.

Her singing level is also far inferior to that of Tsukimi Eiko.

If Kitagawa Yuu lets Kawaharaki Momoka sing the song she wrote, wouldn't that lower the level of the Baisha Band?

Although from the perspective of career development, joining the Baisha Band is indeed a good thing for them.

But now Momoka Kawaharaki has not reached the point of desperation and giving up music. She still wants to sing the rock songs she wrote to prove to her three old friends that she can succeed without transforming into an idol and staying true to herself.

In this case, how could she join the Baisha Band?

"Well, forget it. We don't know Kitagawa and the others very well. Even if we want to join, they may not agree."

An Hesuba sighed secretly in his heart at first, then he cheered himself up again and put on a warm and friendly smile on his face again.

But by doing so, she made Kawahara Ki Momoka feel even more guilty and uncomfortable.

"I am so stubborn in insisting on myself and my dream...is that really right?"

“Dreams don’t have to stay the same, do they?”

Thinking that she had lost three of her former best friends because of her stubbornness, Kawahara Ki Momoka couldn't help but fall into reflection.

In fact, she and An Hesuba were not the only ones who were struggling over whether or not to join the Baisha Band.

After watching Yu Kitagawa’s performance last night, I also followed the White Sand Band’s YouTube, Instagram, and Spotify’s Rupa and Ebizuka Satoshi. I also noticed that the White Sand Band currently only has Yu Kitagawa and Tsukimi Eiko.

And...they have been struggling with this for a whole night and a whole morning!
