Cultivating a girl band, but the goal is to lose money!

Chapter 34 Before the Live

"Everyone who has finished the band, it's your turn to go on stage for the sound check!"

The door of the lounge was pushed open from the outside, and the staff reminded with a smile.

"Hi!" Aiyin responded loudly, and then took her guitar out of the guitar case.

"Aine, you're holding your guitar upside down!"

Taoxiang reminded her kindly, then she put the guitar on her back with ease and turned the pegs to tune the strings. As an experienced guitar singer with three years of experience, she did not feel much emotion at this moment, but just a little emotional.

I stood on the stage again, but my former teammates had become my new companions.

Will the three of them come to see today?

"Hehe~ I'm a little nervous now, but don't worry, I will definitely not let you down later!"

Aiyin smiled sheepishly and turned the guitar back.

She didn't feel anything a few minutes ago, but when the clerk asked them to go for an audition just now, she felt inexplicably nervous and her heart was beating violently.

At this time, Aine noticed Ryo who was standing there coolly, holding the bass with one hand.

She asked curiously, "How did Liang adjust his mindset? It's obviously his first time on stage."

“Wrong.” Ryo looked at Aine expressionlessly and said calmly, “Aine is the only one who is on stage for the first time here.”

Aine widened her eyes and looked at Yamada Ryo and Nijika in surprise, as if to say, "You two actually hid it so deeply? The sisterhood is going to fade."

"Aine, don't listen to what Ryo says." Hongxia waved her hand and explained, "Ryo's previous band was just for fun. I was just a guest drummer before. After all, my sister runs a livehouse."

Lin Yi, who had been watching from the sidelines, waved his hand and spoke.

"Hurry up and get on stage. We can talk after the sound check is over. Don't delay the other bands."

“Besides, Aine, you don’t have to be nervous about this. You’re the only one in the band who has never been on stage. Doesn’t this just prove that you’re gifted? You’re born to do this. Be more confident.”

“Yes!” Aiyin nodded heavily and waved goodbye to Lin Yi: “Then we’ll go over first.”

Lin Yi looked at the girls' backs as they left, feeling emotional.

Whether in his previous life or this life, Lin Yi had never seen a girl who was easier to please than Aiyin.

Although she is a little willful sometimes and likes to show off sometimes, this is exactly what makes Aine lovable.

When the live show fails, Lin Yi will definitely have to counsel this top general, otherwise he will feel guilty.

The audition process didn't take long.

In less than ten minutes, everyone returned to the lounge after the band finished.

Aiyin placed her guitar on the floor, then took a deep breath and sat on the sofa.

“Ah~ Even though there’s no one in the audience, I feel really nervous when I get on stage. Also, the seniors from other bands are so amazing, I feel like I can’t compare to them at all.”

"Really?" Liang shook his hair, still looking confident, "Their bass is a little bit worse than mine."

Hong Xia, who was always very lively, looked very nervous at this moment. She did not sit down but walked back and forth in the lounge, still waving her hands in the air.

"Just be at ease."

Momoka, the older sister and senior, stepped forward with a smile on her face and a steady voice, exuding a "reliable" aura.

"With me here, there will be absolutely no problems with the performance."

Aine raised her head: "Momoka-san, you are so confident and handsome!"

……

The tense atmosphere makes time pass slowly, but today is an exception.

It seemed like just a blink of an eye before the staff came to remind us.

"The band is over, it will be your turn soon, please come backstage and get ready!"

At the critical moment before going on stage, Lin Yi stood up and clapped his hands to attract the girls' attention.

"Everyone, we're about to go on stage for the live show, so I won't nag any more and just make it short."

"I wish you guys a happy live, sing out your own voice and style, I will be here to witness you, and also to end the birth of the band!"

"come on!"

……

The streets of Ikebukuro.

A petite girl dragging a red suitcase was "running rampage".

“Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry!!”

Jing Qin Rencai repeated her apology and quickly passed by passers-by one after another, running towards the location of RiNG marked on the map.

The current situation was a little unexpected compared to what she had expected during the day.

After getting off the train in Tokyo, Nina took the train in the opposite direction. By the time she realized it, there was not much time left before the live show in the evening.

So Nina made a prompt decision and chose to go to Ikebukuro to watch the live first, which led to the current scene.

After running for a long time, I finally found the same building as the one in the photo, panting!

Renai took out her cell phone.

【7:15PM】

There are still fifteen minutes left before the band’s live performance ends, there’s still time!

With a happy smile on her face, Renai dragged her suitcase into RiNG without noticing that her cell phone's battery was running low.

I have to say, big cities are different.

After Nina lowered her head and stated that she was there to watch the last band's live performance, the clerk immediately handed her the ticket and said that he could keep her luggage for the time being.

Renai had never been to such a place before, but following the flow of people, she was able to enter the live area smoothly.

There were a lot of people inside, and although it wasn't that crowded, Rencai still just stood at the back.

She looked around curiously and found a middle-aged man on the left with a Diamond Dust band on his head, and two girls of the same age as her on the right, one of whom was wearing RiNG work clothes.

"Have you seen Xiangzi?" Li Xi, standing in the middle of the crowd with his arms folded, suddenly asked.

"No." Su Shi shook his head, his voice sounding a little lonely.

Seeing that his former teammate was in a low mood, Li Xi held back the sarcastic remarks he had prepared and instead changed the subject.

"Come to think of it, there are quite a lot of people coming to watch the show today, and many of them are fans of Diamond. They come with bad intentions."

Su Shi didn't reply. She lowered her head and fiddled with her slender fingers, not knowing what she was thinking.

Nina, who was listening to their conversation, had a puzzled look on her face.

What does it mean that Diamond's fans come with bad intentions?

Aren’t they here to cheer for Taoxiang?

Renai secretly looked at the uncle next to her and found that he was looking at his mobile phone.

And from his face, Renna could not see any expectation or happiness, but instead felt a dark and gloating emotion.

Just as Nina was thinking, the lights in the venue suddenly went out, and the lights on the stage came on instead.

Four figures walked onto the stage one after another, and the one standing at the front was none other than Momoka Kawaharaki, the guitarist and lead singer.

"Hello everyone, we are the Ending Band."

Chapter 35: The Last Empty Box

“We’re the closing band.”

After explaining the name of her band, Momoka didn't say anything else.

She stood in the center of the stage, quietly gazing at the audience under the spotlight.

She saw Diamond fans wearing cheering peripherals, passers-by who didn't know the band had ended, young boys and girls looking at her expectantly, Lin Yi with his hands in his pockets on the podium, and the Diamond quartet appearing in the internal employee area, wearing masks and casual clothes.

You guys...are here as expected.

Momoka smiled. Even though it was just a unilateral declaration of war by the band, it was time to put an end to it tonight.

Momoka turned around and looked at Aine, Nijika, and Ryo who were already prepared, and nodded slightly.

come on!

Ending the band's first shout!

It is a farewell and also a rebirth!

Her fingers slid across the strings, and a gentle voice filled with rich emotions came out of Taoxiang's mouth.

"The blank test paper submitted can confuse the long and tedious thoughts"

"The so-called answer is probably just common sense in form."

"Even if my fingertips tremble"

A familiar yet unfamiliar tune resounded in the livehouse. It was the "Empty Box" that was familiar yet unfamiliar to many people.

Since Diamond found a new singer to replace Momoka, they have adapted this band's signature song.

Empty Box became more pop and more rock, it was still good to listen to, but it was different than before.

"At this fork in the road that is not recorded on the map"

“Will we encounter each other?”

“What should we rely on to move forward?”

The Sora no Bako, especially Momoka's Sora no Bako, has a gentle drum beat, and even Hongxia, whose level is not very good, can master it perfectly.

Hongxia sat at the back of the stage, looking at Taoxiang who was singing in the front, and her sister and PA lady in the corner of the stage.

To be fair, Sora no Bako is not a song that belongs to the ending band, it is only related to Momoka.

But the End Band is not an ordinary band, it is a bond, a bond connecting their band and Lin Yi.

All of them recognized Momoka as a gentle and reliable person, and were willing to play her own Sora no Bako for the last time at the debut live!

Hongxia had a bright smile on her face, her hair stood upright, her two slender but powerful arms waved the drumsticks alternately, and her body swayed wildly to the rhythm of the music.

Did you see that, sister?

"If I fill in this blank, will it be solved later?"

"What choice will you make, to continue moving forward?"

Chihaya Aine was wrapped in a Band-Aid, and her scarred fingers plucked the strings.

At first, she kept her head down when playing the piano because she was afraid of making mistakes and was nervous.

But it turned out that Aiyin's sweat and hard work in the past month were not in vain. Not only did she not make any mistakes, but her performance was even integrated with her teammates' without a trace of disharmony.

Lin Yi is right, I am indeed a genius.

Chihaya Aine was no longer nervous or worried.

She raised her head, faced the bright spotlight, and showed off her talent to the fullest.

Humph, I’ve told you before, Lin Yi, I won’t let you down.

This is the strength of the number one admiral Chihaya Aine!

"The answer sheet is blank, no trace"

“Is it a loss or a beginning, even if I don’t understand it yet”

"But there is no other way but to continue, right?"

The performance of Sora no Hako is coming to an end.

Most of the Diamond fans who came to RiNG today regarded Momoka as a traitor to the band. They came today just to see Momoka have fun and let her know the price of being a traitor.

But as the live performance began, Momoka's familiar and gentle voice rang in their ears, and there were three beautiful girls on the stage who were performing seriously besides Momoka, and their hearts were shaken.

Why did they like Diamond before?
