Anime, but you can win a prize by confessing your love

"Is everyone ready?"

What responded to her was everyone's determined gaze.

"come on!"

As she spoke, Hong Xia opened the door of the rehearsal room.

So many people, really so many people!

The sharp contrast in the number of people made Hong Xia's heart skip a beat.

Stay calm and don't lose your composure in front of the audience. You dream of debuting as a band.

Hong Xia bit her lip and carried the musical instrument to the stage as if nothing had happened. Only her slightly trembling hands proved her uneasy heart.

The dazzling stage and the crowds standing in the dark had a great impact. It was not until Ye Mu pushed her shoulder that Xiduo woke up from her dream and hurried onto the stage.

There is excitement and joy, but more of a nervousness in my heart.

What if I hit the wrong chord? What if the high notes crack? What if I mess up the performance?

This was her first time performing in front of so many people, and she was the only one in the band who had no experience in performing like this. At this point, she began to panic.

After the cables are arranged and a simple sound test is done, the performance can begin at any time.

But at this moment, Kita, who was standing in the center of the stage, had a blank mind. For some reason, she suddenly recalled what her mother had said to her.

"If your grades don't reach the average level in the final exam, we won't allow you to continue playing in the band!"

But, if I mess up now, even if I reach the average level, will I still be qualified to continue performing on stage with everyone?

"Kita..."

Only when Liang beside her reminded her did she come to her senses.

"It's our first meeting. We are the final band. Thank you for coming despite the bad weather today."

"Well, then... please enjoy our band's original song "Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet"."

She was in a very bad state, and her voice sounded forced and absent-minded.

When Ye Mu felt something was wrong, the distorted sound of the electric guitar had already played the beginning of the prelude, and this disastrous performance officially began.

The only way to describe Kita's guitar is to use the word "eccentric".

At this moment, she seemed to have completely lost the results of her hard training, like a beginner who just bought a guitar and even forgot the most basic string guard.

The sensitive pickups, during the vibration of rapid strumming, unreservedly amplify the sound of the strings that shouldn't make any sound, and then layer it with several wrong chords, making the sound of the rhythm guitar more and more abrupt.

Such a tense atmosphere quickly spread, and amid the irregular noise, Hongxia also made mistakes, and the drum beats began to become out of sync with the bass.

One wrong step leads to another. When it came to the vocal part, Kita sang one beat late because he didn't have time to play all the chords.

She spoke nervously, but what came out was a trembling voice.

This cannot go on.

Ye Mu clearly caught the astonished expressions of the two number one fan girls standing in the front row, and the friends who came to show their support also noticed the panic on the stage and became secretly anxious.

But what should I do now?

Chapter 85: Two People Turn the Tide

The chorus ended, and just when Kita was about to put his hands on the guitar again in panic, a compact melody suddenly stood out from the chaotic performance.

It's a sound I've never heard before!

Xiao Boqi and Kita turned their heads in surprise and found that the keyboard player's fingers were flying, playing a passage that followed the original rhythm but was richer.

Two parts, no, now the keyboard sound alone is three parts, but it does not seem chaotic at all when placed in the song, but instead has a sublimated beauty.

"Keep playing!"

Facing Xiduo who turned around, Ye Mu gestured slightly.

The others immediately cooperated with him after being surprised, but Kita, due to his lack of experience, had not yet caught up.

She looked like a frightened deer, her palms were sweaty and the pick was about to fall to the ground.

Trust me, don't panic.

Ye Mu gave Xiduo a sunny and cheerful smile, his eyes full of encouragement.

Kita was slightly startled. That familiar smile seemed to contain some kind of magic that made her calm down quickly.

I guess Ye Jun has experienced similar rollovers before. He got through it calmly, so why can't I...

She turned around, waited for a few beats, and then followed without hesitation.

With the support of rich vocal parts, the music just barely went on after Ye Mu turned the tide. Although there were some stumblings, it was much better than before. The two anxious fans slowly relaxed.

But the performance was still not amazing enough. The fans of other bands in the back only looked up twice when the rich vocals suddenly started, and then continued to play with their phones.

[Where have I seen Ye Jun’s smile before…]

Because it was somewhat familiar, Kita stopped to think for a moment after the end of "Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet", but to no avail.

She shook her head, and just as she was about to grab the microphone to announce the song title, the roaring sound of an electric guitar suddenly rang in her ears.

Little Pochi? ! !

The pink-haired girl in a band shirt and sweatpants immediately became the focus of the entire audience. Everyone on and off the stage was looking at her as she was playing the guitar solo.

The melody was powerful and restless, and it didn't sound like something a weak girl could play at all. Not only that, she played it faster and faster, starting with 90 eighth notes, and then gradually changing to sixteenth notes and thirty-second notes.

Little Bochi's right hand quickly drew an afterimage, and he lowered his waist because of the force, as if he was venting his inner anxiety and agitated emotions, and he made the atmosphere of the dull exhibition hall restless by his own strength.

Guitar hero indeed!

Ye Mu smiled with relief, looked at Hong Xia who was in the same row, and nodded silently.

Then, when the guitar solo reaches its climax, strong rhythmic drum beats and keyboard sounds come in together.

Move the time forward a little to the previous song where Ye Mu started playing the three-part instrument.

Seeing Ye Mu's smile, Xiao Boqi's heart suddenly stopped. Even though he was not smiling at her, her heart still beat fast.

Little Boqi lowered his head shyly and didn't look into Ye Mu's eyes.

and many more?

She was surprised to find that when Ye Mu looked up and smiled, his hands were still flying on the black and white piano keys without any pause.

He pursed his lips, an indescribable emotion brewing.

My seniors have all given their all for the stage, so why should I be timid and afraid to show my talents on stage?

From that time on, a picture always appeared in little Boqi's mind - playing with both hands desperately, raising his head, and showing such a frank and confident smile.

When the next song "That Band" was about to begin, she could no longer suppress her emotions.

It was an impromptu performance without any sheet music, but three years of uninterrupted practice allowed her to easily express her true feelings through the strings and in the restless guitar sound.

Back to the present, the inspiring prelude ends and everyone in the audience looks up, concentrating on finishing the band's performance.

Kita calmed down completely after Bochi's outburst. Although the sound of the lead guitar and keyboard were a little different from usual, she still adjusted her mood and spoke steadily.

"The songs that band sing are like high-pitched laughter to me"

"The songs that band sings are as piercing to me as a roadside bell"

"..."

As the Yang corner, Kita is in perfect harmony with the emotions that the author of this song wants to express.

That is Yamada Ryo's true feelings about chasing fame and fortune and composing meaningless songs to cater to the market.

Since composing Pochi's monologue into a song, Yamada Ryo seemed to have suddenly let go in terms of composing, and boldly portrayed his inner feelings in the song.

And Kita, this time, lived up to her expectations and perfectly expressed the emotions contained in the lyrics.

Just like that, either because of Ye Mu's encouragement or because they wanted to vent their inner feelings, everyone performed at their best and finished the song perfectly.

The next song was still "Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet", but Kitado slowly moved to the side, leaving the seat behind him for Ye Mu.

When the audience was either confused or expectant, the familiar yet unfamiliar melody once again resounded through the performance hall.

After the prelude of the revised melody, the singer suddenly turned into an inconspicuous keyboard player behind the stage. Not only that, the lyrics were also changed from Japanese to Chinese.

This was the method Ye Mu told Hong Xia - to rewrite the major key without changing the rhythm, and have him sing the Chinese version. This would ensure that all the songs in the band's LIVE were original and would also reduce the difficulty.

The practice of changing the lead singer before going on stage is indeed unorthodox, but it does not seem too outrageous in the rock music that is supposed to highlight individuality. After a moment of surprise, the audience in the audience was once again intoxicated by the LIVE.

Finally, the performance ended successfully. In addition to those friends, the applause from the audience came from fans of other bands who were also impressed by the band and spontaneously joined in the applause.

In addition, there were a few cheers mixed in, and when I looked where the sound came from, I saw that it came from the girl with an eyepatch whose eyes were shining and the blond junior high school student who was screaming.

…………

"The rain has stopped and the sky is clearing up!"

At the door of a pub, Ye Mu stretched lazily and breathed in the fresh air after the rain.

Tread.

There were footsteps approaching, a bright yellow ponytail flashed before my eyes, and then a familiar voice.

"It's already night time, how can it be sunny?"

"After the typhoon, the moon was dim and the stars were sparse. Although there was no sun, it was actually a sunny day."

Ye Mu responded with a grin.

"Are you here to use the restroom too?"

Hong Xia pushed his shoulder with her hand and complained helplessly: "Don't say such vulgar things to girls. Didn't you come out to get some fresh air? Why did you say you were going to the bathroom?"

"that is because--"

"I knew Hong Xia was going to come out for some fresh air, so I set up an ambush here in advance. Look, isn't she standing in front of me now?"

Chapter 86 Dream

His words made Hong Xia laugh uncontrollably.

As if she agreed, she looked up at the sky, gazing at the bright moon through the obstruction of buildings and power lines.

This was a celebration party for the band. The store manager was generous for once and dragged Ye Mu and the others, PA-chan, and the impossible-to-get-away Hiroi Kikuri to a izakaya not far from Fanxing for dinner.

By the way, the seats this time are much more spacious than the last time (Chapter 19). The jealous store manager was afraid that his sister and Ye Mu would be too close to each other, so he changed to a store with a larger private room. Although the so-called private room was just a compartment separated by a sliding door.

"call……"

Hong Xia breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly spoke.

"Thank you so much today, Ye Jun, otherwise this performance would be completely ruined."

"It's nothing. We are all in the same band. Who wouldn't want this performance to go perfectly? And we should thank Xiao Boqi more. Her perfect solo was the key to the success."

"Pochi-chan already thanked you, right after you said you needed to go to the bathroom."

"How did she react?"

Hongxia recalled and smiled faintly.

Being praised by everyone, little Bochi was at a loss at first, then she touched her head, drooled towards the sky and grinned foolishly. When everyone found out that she had this expression after being praised, they praised her even more vigorously, so little Bochi still had the same expression until Hongxia left the private room.

"Pochi-chan is naturally very happy."

"That's good."

After a period of silence, Hongxia took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"Come to think of it, there are so many girls in the audience, they should all be Ye Mu's friends... Don't deny it, I see that they are looking at you most of the time."

"That's right. If there are too few audiences, even if the performance is successful, everyone will still feel uncomfortable."

Ye Mu admitted it generously, but Hong Xia patted his shoulder in dissatisfaction.

"That's not what I mean. I mean those girls. I feel like... they all have a crush on you."

She was a little annoyed and hesitated at the second half of the sentence, but she still said what she really wanted to ask.

"Hongxia, what is your dream?"
