Losing money, mygo, what does it mean that I really lost money?

Curious, Toyokawa Shoko naturally struck up a conversation with the dejected woman.

Her name is Iori Serina, a bear herself, and she came to Tokyo to take university entrance exams. Through an agency and her uncle, she rented a room for studying, but it wasn't located in Tokyo; it was in Kawasaki.

Kawasaki is part of the Tokyo metropolitan area, but it is not part of Tokyo City; it belongs to Kanagawa Prefecture.

Serina Izakura clutched her head, feeling the iron fist of society: "So, Kawasaki isn't in Tokyo at all? You...you mean, I was scammed by my uncle and the agent?"

"It only takes half an hour to get from Kawasaki to Tokyo, so it's not too bad."

"How can it be okay? This is deception! Nobody takes me seriously. When I go to Kawasaki, I'm going to make things clear to them! No, I'm not going to Kawasaki either!..." The child, Serina, looked quite angry.

Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu exchanged a glance.

Jingqin Rencai is 17 years old, a year older than them, and her performance is really...

xIAosO：扒∥◇7∶→)六弎丝℃死二Toyokawa Shoko, even with little social experience, could see that Iori Jinna had absolutely no experience in independent living. Why would her parents let her come to Tokyo alone to prepare for university entrance exams? It's so strange.

This isn't about taking a college entrance exam; it's about sending people here to work hard.

Shoko Toyokawa fell into thought, while Nina Izare would occasionally take out her phone, which had run out of battery and shut down, and tap it, as if this could ease the awkwardness or turn the phone back on.

You mean, you can sing?

Finally, Toyokawa Shoko spoke:

"I don't know much about part-time jobs... You said you really like Diamond Star's songs, are you good at singing? I can recommend you to work at an agency as my assistant, what do you think?"

If she were struggling to make ends meet, Toyokawa Shoko certainly wouldn't have done this, but she was already enjoying a stable, comfortable salary from the firm and had been given several internal referrals by Ima Teruyuki. Within her capabilities, she was willing to help Iori Nina find a hard-to-get job, even though the two had only met by chance.

......

"Is this the child who got scammed?"

On the streets of Tokyo, Momoka Kawahara, carrying a guitar, met Shoko Toyokawa, who was leading Nina Iori, and chuckled, "Are they really high school students? They look so cute."

"Ms. Momoka, I'm your fan!"

Jingqin Rencai bowed to her excitedly, while Gaosong Deng looked over curiously from the side.

Kawahara Momoka was performing a nine-act play with Takamatsu Akira on the street when suddenly, Zero received a private message from the second-generation captain, asking her where she was.

This made Momoka Kawahara think that the second generation members were going to fight her and stage a street brawl. Later, she learned from Shoko Toyokawa that it was just one of her fans who had run away from home.

It can't really be called running away from home. Her family knew she had dropped out of high school and even gave her a little money to rent an apartment in Tokyo to prepare for university entrance exams... How could she possibly pass the exams?

It means I was abandoned by my family in the big city.

Whether it was because of her past experience of not attending school or because of her own status as a children's idol, Kawara Momoka was very interested in her and simply asked Toyokawa Shoko to bring her to meet her.

"Her father is really irresponsible. Thank you for letting me bring her to see you."

Shoko Toyokawa crossed her arms, clearly quite dissatisfied with the role of an "irresponsible father."

“They’re fans after all, how could I not see them?” Momoka Kawahara scratched her cheek and looked at Nina Izare. “But, Toyokawa, are you just an assistant? Your second generation is still missing a vocalist, isn’t it?”

"Eh? What do you mean?"

"Since you don't have a lead vocalist right now, how about letting Nina give it a try? Her voice is very unique, maybe she'll be another Takamatsu Akari? Consider it a treat for her fans, how about it?"

Momoka Kawahara didn't really have high hopes for her.

It's simply a matter of giving the other person a better chance out of pure goodwill; whether they succeed or not is unimportant.

After all, the agency's primary pursuit is commercial profit. While Ima Teruyuki gave Toyokawa Shoko considerable power in selecting performers, it doesn't mean she can just pick any kid and have them sing. Not everyone is like Takamatsu Akari.

After thinking for a while, Toyokawa Shoko nodded, "We can try going to a karaoke bar."

"The next Takamatsu lamp?"

It has probably already far surpassed the current Takamatsu lamp.

In the KTV room, does Momoka Kawara want to laugh when she thinks about what she said?

She couldn't laugh.

The result of Jingqinrencai's singing was obvious.

As expected of a 17-year-old girl, her breath control and explosive power in singing are outstanding, making her a formidable opponent for Arale Nakamachi. Compared to her, Akari Takamatsu, who doesn't rely on technique and explosive power, pales in comparison.

A child came to the second generation, and her song soared through the sky.

If she could go back in time, if she had known about Izana's singing talent beforehand, she definitely wouldn't have recommended her to the second-generation leader, Toyokawa Shoko, so easily...

After listening to Izare Nina sing "Sora no Hako" (The Empty Box), Kawara Momoka felt a strong urge to recruit her as her lead singer.

What a pity, what a pity.

First it was An and Subaru, then it was the celery seeds I found by the roadside...

Although Momoka Kawahara admires her teammates and has no intention of making any changes, she is still very unhappy that someone she has high hopes for has been sent to compete for a spot among the second-generation members of the Guan Qi department.

This is also human nature.

Now, she could only watch helplessly as Toyokawa Shoko held Izayoi Nina's hand, looking as if she had found a treasure, and happily introduced her to the agency and the second-generation veMjic project.

"Ms. Momoka, Ms. Momoka, and Mr. Takamatsu next to you are all artists from ExElio agency. My band is currently looking for a vocalist, and I think Nina would be a perfect fit..."

Jingqin Rencai was overjoyed, her words already broken: "Me? Really? I can form a band with Miss Momoka?"

She felt like she was dreaming.

Unlike her hometown, which she felt so aggrieved by that she didn't want to remember, there are so many kind people in Tokyo!

"Not with me, but with her."

Kawara Momoka pointed at Toyokawa Shoko.

"I'm sorry, my team is already full. I'm also very satisfied with my team members. We won't have the chance to debut together in a band. She's your team leader. Her arrangement of 'BIBIDIB' is pretty good. If you like my songs, you'll definitely like hers too."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Toyokawa Shoko still looked elegant and poised, almost like the composure of a victor.

After all, in terms of personnel, the first generation was indeed outclassed by the second generation. 」々七，‖∩.〖｛

"Tch." Kawahara Momoka was a little annoyed, but she was determined to give Takamatsu Akari, who just stared at her blankly, and Chihaya Aine a good beating when they got back. Lack of experience? She'd make up for it with hard work.

Izayoi looked around. Even she could tell that she had been drawn into a competition. However, "Toyokawa-senpai is a good person too."

Jingqin Rencai thought silently.

Although she wasn't her idol, Momoka Kawahara, Ms. Shoko Toyokawa would be fine too. Shoko's elegant demeanor on the tram left a good impression on her, and forming a band with Shoko Toyokawa would be wonderful.

However, the only thing that puzzled her was veMjic's style... singing while wearing a mask? Maybe that's the difference between Tokyo and Kumamoto; Tokyo bands are so trendy.

I think my name is Dolores.

Well, Ishigami Rina suddenly realized that once she accepted veMjic's premise, this special girl band that defied conventional views actually suited her taste quite well.

If you're going to form a band, form the coolest one!

She was also very curious about what the first-generation students of Ms. Kawaraki Momoka were like now.

Being in the same firm, there's some competition, but also some cooperation.

Izayoi is already eager to meet her fellow members from other agencies. What kind of people will her own Rakuten 3 members and the 6th generation members be?

......

"May I ask the celestial palace, when will we meet again? My heart yearns to return, and I will leap over mountains and passes..."

"...You're like the comfort of snuggling in a blanket, yet as elusive as the wind—like the scent of perfume on your wrist, like those irresistible red high heels..."

The two first-generation members are practicing singing.

Jin Zhaozhi sat in the monitoring room, nodding repeatedly.

Nakamachi Arale's ancient-style songs are very charming, full of energy, and have a long aftertaste. They match her hidden characteristic of being aggressive like a wild beast when she has a goal, making them very suitable for ancient-style songs.

Miao Mengqin also found the trick; her song "Red High Heels" finally captured that languid yet subtly charming feeling.

Although using "alluring" to describe a high school student is really abstract, and he might get scolded if someone said it, that's definitely how Miaomeng felt. She had already mastered the classic song for hooking up with anime fans.

As for "Weak Water Three Thousand", it has become the agency's theme song in a sense. Almost all artists who want to sing it have to learn it, and Nakamachi Arale also has to learn it.

There's no way around it, "Weak Water Three Thousand" is just that effective, getting tons of views every time. Even Bilibili is subtly hinting to the agency to sing more songs like this that generate buzz. For the sake of viewership, Bilibili is really going all in; they'll sing even the most obscure songs, the more the better!

Lost in thought, he received a call from Toyokawa Shoko.

"...Found a lead singer, quite talented? Hmm, you can choose for yourself. I trust your skills. Bring her to the agency tomorrow to sign the contract... Shouldn't we lower the requirements for the bassist?"

The agency also posted a recruitment notice for veMjic based on the salary, and there were quite a few applicants. However, Toyokawa Shoko showed unexpected strictness, and only a few people passed the first round of screening. Then, they could not accept that they also had to learn Chinese and open B-level accounts. So far, no one has passed.

But can that 17-year-old lead singer who doesn't attend school really study properly? Jin Zhaozhi has some doubts.

He suddenly thought of the plot of Crychic's disbandment and discussed it with Toyokawa Shoko:

"The agency is planning to produce a radio drama about the era of girl bands. We'd like to adapt most of the plot from your Crychic. Is that alright?... Yes, the name has nothing to do with reality, but the lead singer of Crychic will be voiced by Himeko Hitomi, and she'll form a new band... Shiina Tatsuki and Arale are fine. I'll contact Nagasaki-kun..."

It sounds a bit immoral, but Jin Zhaozhi finds this kind of withdrawal from the team quite amusing.

This was inspired by Takamatsu Tō's poem "Shiori".

This song would be perfect as the ending theme for an anime or radio drama.

The band's founder, whose personality is drastically inconsistent, and the persona he created for Gao Songdeng—"hurt by Crychic, then saved by a new band"—are sure to be well-received.

This is jumping on the bandwagon; to put it more politely, it's creating something that's in line with the times.

By having veMjic make a cameo appearance in the story, perhaps we can cultivate a group of fans of Gao Songdeng and veMjic in advance?

Main text: Chapter 54 (Chapter 52) Have you heard of it? The story of MyGo

Although Ima Teruyuki has never been a screenwriter (series composer), he has seen it all. He witnessed the entire process of Crychic's creation and disbandment, and gained a lot of inspiration from it.

I have some insights into how to write catchy radio dramas about girl bands.

For example, replace Crychic's lead singer with Takamatsu Takamori.

Imaizumi talked to Nakamachi Arale about it, and she didn't care at all about being replaced in the story. After all, it was just a virtual creation, so she would do whatever made the show interesting.

Therefore, he plans to launch an "if" story where "Crychic's lead singer is not Arale Nakamachi, but Akari Takamatsu," and Akari Takamatsu will use the stage name Hina Hitomiya to voice the lead singer.

Lead vocalist (CV: Himegami Hina)

Keyboardist (CV: Oblivionis)

The story is largely drawn from Shoko Toyokawa's experiences, from founding Crychic to joining the agency and forming veMjic. After the second generation is formed, there's no need to create new radio dramas anymore, because the real veMjic members will debut by then, and they will write the stories themselves.

In the phone call just now, Toyokawa Shoko clearly said that Riku didn't really want to retrieve Crychic's memories from his heart again, but he didn't have any objections to the radio drama project of the agency.

This is a low-cost, high-return marketing strategy.

If she were to come herself, she would probably choose a radio drama as well.

After hearing that Imaizumi intended to keep only her, she changed her attitude and hoped to obtain authorization from Nagasaki Motoyo and Shiina Tatsuki to maintain the original character settings of the Crychic members.

Her attitude towards Crychic is that she neither wants to mention it nor wants it to be distorted. What exactly does Crychic represent to her?

As for the reasons for her departure from Crychic, she hopes to keep them a secret forever in the radio drama and not reveal them in the future. Furthermore, she hopes to portray her departure from the group more rationally in the storyline.

"After all, she's the captain of the second generation. Let's do as she says."

After thinking it over, Imaizumi decided to listen to Toyokawa Shoko and go to Shiina Tatsuki and Nagasaki Motoyo to ask for authorization. He could simply say that it was a fictional work and had nothing to do with the two of them, but Toyokawa Shoko would definitely see through that.

Without incurring significant expenses, he decided to respect Toyokawa Shoko's wishes.

Let's start with Shiina Tatsuki, who is already an employee of our store.

In the future, Jinzhao will occasionally go to RiNG to watch their live performances and see if there are any good artists he can sign. There will be contact between him and Shiina Tatsuki in the future.

So, he sent Shiina Tatsuki a message about adapting Crychic into a radio drama.

After sending only a few messages, she typed out a lot of question marks and called directly: "Huh? Whatever the situation, I believe you will give an objective evaluation..."

"I only have one question: why replace Arale as the lead vocalist in Crychic? Who is Gao Songdeng, and what commercial necessity is there to do this?"

Shiina Tatsuki was very unhappy that Nakamachi Arale was replaced by Takamatsu Akari in the adapted radio drama.

Even after Ima Teruyuki explained the dramatic elements, the conflict, and the equivalence of the two people's promotional effects, Shiina Tatsuki still wouldn't budge, not even for more money. After much persuasion, she finally reluctantly agreed.

"Alright, I hope you can keep your promise and expose that guy's true colors. Are you going to talk to Nagasaki Motoyo next? She's very persistent about that guy, and she's hard to persuade..."

"Toyokawa Shoko is in your firm? ...Never mind, she is indeed talented. Besides her talent, I can't say anything else. I won't ask any more questions."
