Soon, the current band's performance ended, the lights on the stage dimmed, and the staff began to busily set up the stage in preparation for the next performance.
"Xia, it's our turn to go on stage, come here quickly." Nagasaki Suyo looked back at Sanka Hatsuka who was chatting with the store manager and said gently.
"Well, I'm here."
He quickly followed and went on stage with everyone from Crychic.
Shiina Riki was already seated behind the drum set, sticks in hand, tapping gently a few times, producing a few crisp sounds. Wakaba Mutsu lowered his head, plucking the strings of his guitar, checking for any irregularities, his expression focused and calm.
Takamatsu Touma came up from stage left, carrying a notebook and a water bottle, also holding a microphone. Nagasaki Motoyo saw her and quickly stepped forward to help her get the water bottle.
"We've brought so many things. Can we put the water in front?"
Gao Songdeng nodded: "Yes, thank you."
"let's work hard together."
"Ah."
"Remember what I just said, Xiao Deng." Sanjiao Chuxia smiled and winked at her.
"I see."
Walking to the center of the stage, Gao Songdeng squatted down and gently placed the notebook on the ground.
The lights came on, and the five figures of Crychic were instantly illuminated, fully displayed in front of the audience.
Sanjiao Chuxia held the microphone in front of her and said, "It's our first meeting. We are Crychic. Everyone in the band is a little nervous. I hope you can bear with us."
His voice flowed with ease, like someone who had long been accustomed to the stage.
After saying this, he also showed a standard business smile, which made the audience feel very comfortable.
While Sanjiao Chuxia was speaking, Gao Songdeng looked down at the stage and saw a blue-haired figure in this slightly cramped and crowded space.
It’s Xiaoxiang!
She turned around and looked at Nagasaki Suyo and found that her expression was a little excited. She had obviously seen Toyokawa Shoko in the audience, ready to watch their performance.
"Everyone, are you ready?"
The four of them nodded together.
"Okay, let's get started."
Mikado Hatsuka took her hand off the microphone and signaled to Shiina Riki with her eyes.
She nodded and tapped her drumsticks three times, producing a crisp sound. Then, a fierce guitar sound suddenly sounded, instantly igniting the atmosphere on the stage. The drum beats inserted from the middle, making the music more rhythmic.
Gao Songdeng took a deep breath, and then...
"ティアドロップス?レボリューションキミが教えてくれたね (You taught me tears and change)
NON STOP's loop tomorrow SO GOOD!
......"
Her voice was weak, as if suppressed by nervousness. Her fingers tightly gripped the microphone, and her eyes wandered, not daring to look directly at the audience.
Gao Songdeng's heart was beating fast, his mind was blank, and he almost forgot the next lyrics.
At this moment, the words that Sanjiao Hatsuka said came to her mind.
"Just ignore the other audience members and keep looking at her while you sing."
So she turned her gaze to Toyokawa Shoko in the audience and found that she was also looking at her with a gentle and determined smile on her face.
Toyokawa Shoko's eyes met Takamatsu Deng's and she nodded slightly, as if silently saying, "You can do it, Deng."
Gao Songdeng's heart trembled suddenly, as if a warm current surged out from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, her mind emerged the time when Toyokawa Shoko was still in Crychic, the time they spent together, and the encouragement and support he gave her.
Those warm memories were like a force that gradually dispelled the tension in Gao Songdeng's heart.
This time, her voice was no longer restrained, but full of power. Every note seemed to be telling of her inner emotions, with an indescribable appeal.
Sanjiao Hatsuka stood behind Takamatsu Deng, her fingers sliding nimbly across the guitar strings with a satisfied smile on her face.
………………
P.S.: I suddenly realized that I can’t write “Why to Play Kasuga Shadow” in this chapter. I guess I have to wait until the next chapter or the next one. I’ll try to write it as soon as possible after getting up from a good sleep (
ps2: Don’t worry about whether you need to apply for a cover (I only remembered this after I finished writing)
ps2: I have added them to my collection and subscribed to them QWQ, could you give me some free tickets and blades at the beginning of the month to comfort me (
Chapter 68: Why Play Kasuga Shadow!? (Part 1)
"Chuhua, look, Xia and Crychic are on the court."
Toyokawa Shoko took the hand of Mikado Hatsuka beside her and pointed at the five people who were getting ready on the stage where the lights had dimmed.
Although the light on the stage was dim and Shoko Toyokawa could not see their faces clearly, she was very familiar with her friends and could recognize them just by their blurry figures.
"Yeah, I saw it." Sanjiao Chuhua nodded.
After the lead singer standing in the middle of the stage squatted down and put something on the ground, the spotlight suddenly lit up, and everything about the five people was revealed to the audience.
The blond-haired young guitarist on the right of the lead singer held the microphone on the microphone stand and introduced himself to Crychic with ease before the show started.
"It seems that Xia is very good at dealing with this kind of situation."
Hearing Toyokawa Shoko's sigh, Sankaku Hatsuka smiled slightly and reminded her: "Xia was an idol like me before coming here. The stage is already commonplace for him."
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot."
I've forgotten about this setting for a while.
"But the protagonist of this show isn't Xia, but Crychic. Xiaoxiang, you should focus more on your teammates for the time being."
"Ah."
On the stage, Mikado Hatsuka asked everyone one last time if they were ready, and then began to play under the drumming of Shiina Riki's drumsticks.
Shoko Toyokawa's eyes were fixed on the stage, and she noticed that Takamatsu Deng's expression was not right, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Small light...
As expected, after the prelude, Takamatsu Touma's voice sounded, but it was so weak that it was almost drowned out by the sound of the instruments.
Her lips trembled slightly, and her whole body almost curled up into a ball, as if she was suffocating under some invisible pressure.
Toyokawa Shoko saw Takamatsu's eyes moving around the stage in a panic, as if he was looking for something, until...
Their eyes met in the air, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Shoko Toyokawa looked into Takamatsu Deng's eyes, nodded to her, and showed the same gentle smile as before on her face.
Come on, Xiao Deng, you can do it.
At that moment, Takamatsu Tomo's voice on the stage suddenly became firm, and the singing was full of power. The emotions contained in it were continuously transmitted to Toyokawa Shoko through the intersecting line of sight.
At the end of the song, there was warm applause from the audience.
Although the performance at the beginning was not satisfactory, the touching singing after getting into the mood was fully worthy of the applause from the audience.
At this moment, Takamatsu Deng was full of courage. She didn't want to just rely on the help of Sanjiao Hatsuka and others.
So, before Mitsuko Hatsuka was about to enter the CM segment, she gripped the microphone tightly and suddenly spoke.
"I'm very happy that you are willing to come..."
Gao Songdeng's eyes were fixed on Toyokawa Shoko who was standing next to Sankaku Hatsuka in the audience.
"At that time... I didn't sing well... and that caused you to stop coming to Crychic for training. I felt so bad... so bad...
However, my encounter with Hatsuka that day gave me the courage to express my feelings to you...
Today, I've also been feeling very scared... but I felt as if you were saying 'come on' to me...
All I can do is sing! If someone says I'm trying too hard, then I'll just sing as hard as I can!
Her voice echoed in this slightly cramped livehouse, carrying a special magic that infected Toyokawa Shoko's emotions.
Plans have changed!
Although I still want to take this opportunity to sing that song to Xiaoxiang, it seems that it won't work.
Sanjiao Hatsuka looked at the emotions revealed by Takamatsu Deng and felt that in the current atmosphere, it would be obviously inappropriate if the next song was a cover.
That being the case...
He gently played the guitar, and the simple melody mixed with Takamatsu Deng's voice, gradually following her emotions.
"Because... my singing is the cry of my heart!"
At the moment when Takamatsu Deng's emotions reached their climax, Sanjiao Hatsuka very naturally switched the guitar melody to that song by Crychic that everyone is so familiar with.
!!!
No, this is different from what we agreed!
Nagasaki Suyo immediately recognized the melody. It was the "Spring Shadow" originally written by Takamatsu Tomo and composed by Toyokawa Shoko.
Obviously the second song should be "Kun no God's Tree", why is it "Haruhi Shadow"! ?
She subconsciously turned her head to look at her other teammates, only to see Shiina Riki smiling as he followed Sanka Hatsuka's performance, beating the drum beats of "Haruhi Shadow".
Wakaba Mutsu, whose lead guitar position was taken away, also responded flexibly and took the initiative to switch to the rhythm guitar and started playing in cooperation with the other party.
Everyone, how could this happen... or am I the only one who's been kept in the dark...
It was too late to stop everyone, so Nagasaki Suyo could only frown and play the part that she had practiced countless times before.
Shoko Toyokawa's heart skipped a beat in the audience. She didn't expect that Crychic would play "Kasuga Shadow" at this moment, and it was an adapted double-guitar version.
But come to think of it, since no one else in Crychic had studied composition, after she left, this was the only original song left. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a cover of Poppin'Party's song as the first song.
"悴んだ心ふるえる灗世で (The heart is full of haggard and the eyes are trembling)
Servant (I am alone in this world)
三ることしか知らない春は (in the ever-fading spring)
......"
With the previous song as a prelude, Takamatsu Deng, who was in the right state, became much more relaxed when singing "Haruhi Shadow", but the emotions that should be contained in the song were not lacking at all.
Because "Spring Shadow" is our song.
The thoughts of Shoko Toyokawa and Deng Takamatsu overlapped at this moment. She looked at the gray-haired girl singing on the stage, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.
Xiao Deng, you sing better than before.
Both her breath and vocal technique have improved a lot compared to what Toyokawa Shoko remembered from Crychic's first live performance. It seems that even without her, the band can still go further and further.
The two emotions of relief and joy and sadness intertwined in her heart, and Toyokawa Shoko's eyes gradually became moist.
She was indeed happy that Crychic could still train and perform live independently without her, but when she realized that Crychic was no longer "Shoko Toyokawa's band", the loss and sadness were hard to shake off.
In this dilemma, Toyokawa Shoko's tears burst out and rolled down her cheeks.
………………
ps: Famous scenes will be included soon, but the shocking kneeling scene will not be included, as it is very distressing to watch (voice can be included)
ps2: Because I found that writing three songs was too slow, I set it to be that Chu Xia sacrificed the second song for Crychic and the duet with Deng (
Chapter 69: Why Play Kasuga Shadow!? (Part 2)
In this dilemma, Toyokawa Shoko's tears burst out and rolled down her cheeks.
"Xiaoxiang, are you okay?"
Sanjiao Chuhua, who was not that concerned about the band, immediately noticed her abnormality and asked softly with some concern.
Shoko Toyokawa shook her head, gently wiped the tears from her cheeks with her hands, and tried to force a smile.
"I'm fine... I'm just feeling a little emotional."
