We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

He thought to himself, the scene before him was that of Yuzawa Cafe.

The girls were passing around the lyrics written by Takamatsu, occasionally offering their comments. Takamatsu looked at the scene before her and finally a slight smile appeared on her lips.

It really felt like a band, with everyone brainstorming ideas for a new song that was about to be composed.

Shiina Tatsuki, who initially spoke in a somewhat cold tone, also joined in, and Toyokawa Shoko was communicating with her.

Surprisingly, Shiina Tatsuki seems to be the most normal one right now...

Nan Yun Yuyue secretly thought in her heart.

Just then, Toyokawa Shoko called out to him.

So Nagumo Ugetsu also gathered her thoughts and immersed herself in the lyrics of Spring Shadow.

Chapter 95 Nanyun Yuyue’s singing, Takamatsu Deng’s bravery (6k)

"Knowing what a warm spring is"

Tears were shed because of you and me.

"These two lines of lyrics are so beautiful..."

"This sentence is also very well written."

"As for the arrangement style... lyrics like these would definitely require a more melodious tune."

"Wait a minute, can I take a picture?"

Inside Yuze Cafe, everyone was discussing something together.

Shoko Toyokawa gazed quietly at the notebook in front of her, the lyrics gradually imprinting themselves into her heart.

For some reason, she felt as if the melody of the song was already in her mind, as if the throbbing in her heart had inspired her soul, making her compose music several times faster than before.

"The lyrics to 'The Lamp' are so well written."

Toyokawa Shoko has never forgotten the scene of her first meeting with Takamatsu Akari.

At that time, they had not met each other yet. It was Nan Yun Yuyue who sent him lyrics written in a notebook by Gao Songdeng that made him want to get to know this girl.

In retrospect, this was undoubtedly the right choice. In her mind, Gao Songdeng was a rare lyric-writing genius, and the lyrics of every song seemed to resonate with her.

"We must compose a good melody to match the lyrics written by Deng."

Toyokawa Shoko's resolve was firm.

She felt a melody involuntarily appear in her mind, so much so that she desperately wanted to grasp this feeling.

The group discussed things at Yuzawa Cafe for a while before heading to the training room at Live House RiNG to practice.

This time, in addition to the electronic keyboard, there were also instruments like the drum set that were really inconvenient to carry. Both Wakaba Mutsu and Nagasaki Motoyo brought their own instruments with them.

Seeing that his lyrics were recognized by everyone, Gao Songdeng's expression became much more relaxed than before.

Upon entering the practice room and turning on the lights, Nanon Ugetsu first checked the rented instruments.

Once everyone was ready, he turned to look at Gao Songdeng:

"Deng, come here."

He once again pulled Gao Songdeng to the center of the rehearsal room.

Then, he handed the microphone to her.

"Relax, just like you did on the overpass before."

Since the music for "Spring Shadow" had not yet been composed, Takamatsu Akira sang the same song he had sung before.

Nan Yun Yuyue specifically asked her to try singing a short song a cappella first, and then gave her some reminders about the precautions for performing on stage.

"Yes, lift your head and face the audience."

"Just focus on your singing and don't pay attention to the audience's reactions. Just glance at them as if they were fleeting shadows."

"If you feel really nervous, you can try walking around on stage a little while singing. That's a good option."

"That's great, Deng. You're making great progress."

Nan Yun Yuyue stood beside her until Gao Songdeng gradually got into the zone, then quietly stepped back.

Takamatsu Akari was facing forward and did not notice Nagumo Ugetsu's movements; her a cappella singing continued.

I really want to be human.

"Even though we're looking at the same things..."

"Even though we're in the same place..."

"But it's different..."

As the conversation drew to a close, her voice suddenly softened, because she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Nan Yun Yuyue was no longer standing beside her.

Gao Songdeng felt a moment of panic.

During practice sessions, Nagumo Ugetsu would always stand by and listen to her singing.

It was thanks to his encouragement that I felt much more relaxed when I sang.

And now, he has suddenly disappeared.

Where is he...?

Gao Songdeng turned around; this was the first time she had made such a stage-like gesture while singing in the rehearsal room.

now,

Nan Yun Yuyue was standing in the corner, her gaze meeting hers from afar.

Gao Songdeng immediately felt at ease.

Next second,

"I really want to be human..."

The last notes of the song finally faded away.

Gao Songdeng held the microphone, looked at Nan Yunyuyue, and seemed to be stunned, remaining motionless for a long time.

clap clap clap-

Nan Yun Yu Yue was the first to applaud.

Shoko Toyokawa and Motoyo Nagasaki immediately followed suit and applauded as well.

"That's great, Deng!"

"He was much braver than before, and his singing was beautiful!"

Even Shiina Tatsuki showed a surprised expression:

"I didn't expect... you've progressed so quickly."

When she first met Gao Songdeng, she felt that although Gao Songdeng had some talent in songwriting, his singing was really nothing to write home about.

She had seen classmates before who couldn't sing no matter what they tried. They had worked hard for a long time, but they couldn't overcome their inner demons, let alone stand on stage to perform.

I never expected Takamatsu lamps to have changed so much.

From being unable to speak in front of an audience for the first time to now being able to sing an entire song a cappella with perfect rhythm and emotion, it's simply incredible.

Shiina Tatsuki glanced quietly at Nagumo Ugetsu.

The main reason why Gao Songdeng has changed so much is because of the boy in front of him.

"His skill level... is indeed much higher than I imagined..."

"And she's also very approachable."

“Not only Takamatsu Akari trusts him, but so do Toyokawa Shoko and Nagasaki Motoyo… not to mention Wakaba Mutsu.”

Shiina Riki thought to himself.

Previously, she had always felt that something was off about the band.

Because many of the people in the room reminded her of her older sister, Shiina Maki.

Although they have different temperaments, they feel strangely similar in many ways.

But as Nan Yun Yuyue joined in, she didn't feel so strange anymore, and she naturally blended in as well.

"A band...a community with a shared destiny, playing music together..."

Shiina Riki suddenly remembered what Toyokawa Shoko had said in the coffee shop when she first met her.

"Fate..."

"My sister really found me a great place..."

As Shiina Riki thought about it, she twirled the drumsticks in her hand.

"Now that my sister has gone abroad to study... she doesn't message me much anymore, which is a good thing."

"Speaking of which, her school starts really early. But soon, I'll be starting high school too."

Thinking of this, her chest heaved violently a few times.

"How come in this lousy school... there are always people talking about how amazing Maki-senpai is, and so on."

"She's already graduated, why are you still spreading stories about her at school every day? Don't you have any new tricks up your sleeve?"

Shiina Tatsuki was a little angry.

As Shiina Maki's younger sister, she passively receives all sorts of legends about her older sister every day at school.

It was already outrageous enough when her older sister was still alive, but now, after Shiina Maki graduated, such rumors are only increasing.

She already had a somewhat strained relationship with her sister, and hearing all sorts of such information sometimes made her even more annoyed.

"Ugh……"

Shiina Tatsuki sighed inwardly.

"I wonder if things will be better if I switch schools in high school..."

She thought to herself, then put down the drumsticks.

Shiina Riki privately believes that the reason why the group of people in the school are so enthusiastic about praising Maki-senpai every day is partly to elevate themselves.

After all, the more impressive Maki appears, the more impressive they seem to be to be compared to such an upperclassman, which naturally makes them seem very impressive as well.

This kind of thing has to involve me...

At first, Shiina Tatsuki could still give normal answers a few times, but later on, he gradually became cold and indifferent.

Shiina Tatsuki's thoughts drifted further and further away, and she unconsciously started waving her drumsticks again before being pulled back to reality by Nagumo Ugetsu's voice.

"Alright, since Gao Songdeng is doing well on stage for now, let's continue practicing."

Nanyun Yuyue said.

"Let's try out the combination of instruments first."

He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"Since we haven't had time to compose music for 'Spring Shadow' yet, let's change to another song. How about Butterfly Band's 'Flame of Hope'? We should all have heard this song by now."

Everyone nodded.

Butterfly Group was a popular band in Tsuki no Mori, and Nagumo Ugetsu, Toyokawa Shoko, Wakaba Mutsu, and Nagasaki Motoyo had all heard their songs.

Although Takamatsu Akari and Shiina Tatsuki were not familiar with the Butterfly Band at first, they gradually became familiar with the group after joining the band, and naturally listened to the songs of Toyokawa Shoko's favorite band.

"Flame of Hope" is one of the most famous songs by the Butterfly Band, and it was also performed at the Tsuki no Mori Music Festival. The clips of it also caused a lot of discussion online, so the two of them naturally paid a lot of attention to it.

"Li Xi, Su Shi, why don't you two try it together first?"

Nan Yun Yuyue looked at the two of them.

"I'd like to see how you coordinate your bass and drums."

"The drum kit is usually responsible for the rhythm, providing a stable beat for the band's performance, while the bass is mainly responsible for the low frequencies. Together, they form the rhythmic foundation of the entire band, making their coordination particularly important."

"Although we don't follow the style of the Butterfly Band, their drummer and bassist work together very well in their performances, which lifts up the rhythm of the whole song."

"However, with more practice, we can definitely do it too."
