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

Momoka Kawaragi continued her self-introduction with a displeased expression.

My mood always improves when I talk about things I like.

"My favorite thing? It's my music, and then drinking."

"My dream, of course, is to hold a concert at the Budokan or Tokyo Dome with a full house, right? Every musician dreams of that. Secondly, I hope to have fans who completely accept all my strengths and weaknesses and send me a lot of money every month. I hope you guys are like that too, okay?"

Towards the end, she chuckled twice, though it was unclear what she was happy about.

Her words were pointed.

Rather than saying it's something she likes or her dreams, it's more like the streamer's confession.

However, even if this is seen as a "confession to the audience" by the viewers in the live stream, it is no different from other virtual streamers trying to trick viewers into sending them money.

Such blunt remarks still drew a barrage of criticism from the live stream chat.

Wake up! You're an idol, don't drink!

Is it really okay to be so blunt? Don't treat your fans like your wallet!

[This person definitely has industry experience. E-Company is smart; they didn't build a team entirely composed of new people. The identity of this team leader will probably be confirmed within a few days. It's quite reassuring to have her leading the team.]

Drinking? ? Idol…haNqN:娸ˇ@泀∧一∶&陆;玖［零∠〖Disqualified Grass〗

The other managers, just by their voices, you can tell they're young; they're more like idols than companions. Mengmengxiang is different; she has a real older sister vibe. I like her!

[Guitar Hero: Miss Mengmengxiang, I love you and the sound of your guitar!! I'm willing to send you a lot of money every month, please allow me to become your fan and send you money!]

[Sakura Aine nonCh.: I love it!!! Momoka is the cutest! I'd even accept it if you spent all my salary on pachinko! Everyone say Momoka is cute!]

[The person obsessed with the box push tube is really...]

"The effect is good." Jin Zhaozhi nodded.

As expected, Momoka Kawaharaki's decision to pursue a differentiated path was the right one.

It's also right to confess your feelings in a live stream.

Live-stream confessions can earn money; this money-making method could become the underlying logic of an agency, and people in the industry will definitely learn from it when they refer to his agency in the future.

Her laid-back attitude of asking for money but implying that she wouldn't like you even if you gave her money actually attracted viewers who wouldn't give money to the other first-generation members.

Many people enjoy the feeling of being controlled and manipulated by older female streamers.

Unfortunately, Momoka Kawaharaki was still a bit reserved and didn't say things like, "Maybe I'll find someone who meets all the criteria I mentioned above to marry," because if she had, the revenue would have exploded.

"and......"

Jin Zhao glanced around and, sure enough, saw someone who had heard the song "Diamond Star".

It's estimated that anyone with a keen eye could easily find out Momoka Kawahara's identity by doing a quick internet search.

Anyway, he said that virtual YouTubers would all form real-life bands and debut, which was also considering this point. Only by showing their faces publicly can the privacy of the first and second generation members be protected.

The privacy of virtual YouTubers has long been a headache for the industry. No matter how meticulous the protection, unless it's a completely untrained individual like a member of the first generation, their information can be easily uncovered online. Furthermore, the lack of professional ethics among some agencies, failing to protect their own YouTubers who are being stalked, has led to numerous psychological problems.

Numerous cases have demonstrated that rigorously protecting the identity information of virtual YouTubers is ineffective. It's far better for them to proactively disclose their identities; this significantly reduces the potential harm of the information uncovered, and many internet users who are naturally inclined to dig up secrets lose interest in uncovering the real information of virtual YouTubers.

While casually searching for comments that interested her, Kawara Momoka opened a can of peach wine: "Well, since we're here, let's have some to liven things up."

The sound of the bottle being opened was clearly transmitted through the microphone and heard in the live broadcast room.

The livestream audience finally realized just how chaotic ExElio, this final member of the group, really was:

[Live-streaming drinking? Is it a live stream?]

[I feel like I'm going to be labeled as a band that misleads underage girls by collecting "索':螧＞澌洢/≮九'◇－朳&"]

Before the comments could even begin to comment or stop her, Momoka Kawara immediately started drinking from the bottle, while expertly manipulating her virtual avatar to add a blush to her face.

Slightly tipsy, Momoka Kawara slung her guitar over her shoulder: "Alright, I'm getting into the swing of things! I'll play and sing for a bit, then I'm going to celebrate just how lucky I am!"

"Emotions must be expressed powerfully through music! Music without emotion is dead! So, everyone in the live stream, please listen to Yang Gongfei's original song, 'Sbtitle,' which she co-wrote with her agency and composed herself!"

"Sbtitle" still has the rhythm that Momoka Kawaharaki likes, but the rest of the song is mostly slow and lyrical, with several key changes that can almost be called technical virtuosity.

After joining the first generation of trainees and writing the lyrics for "Shiori" for Takasatsu Todori, she wrote more and more lyrical, slow-paced arrangements, which gave her a new understanding of herself.

Perhaps this is the answer that Momoka Kawaharaki gave to herself.

It contains her own experiences, popular trends, and technology. Her emotions surge like a tide, a direct yet poetic and subtle expression of feelings.

Inside the live stream, as the arrangement of "Sbtitle," a song of the year, began with its chorus, the number of viewers in the live stream successfully exceeded 10,000. The barrage of comments flowed so fast that they were almost invisible, and the number of Super Spectres (SCs) donating money to this virtual streamer, who was different from the first generation of trainees, was significantly higher than that of others.

Seeing the fiery revenue of 8∏∷.￥7［溜÷毶@↓”「小○⊙說：, Jin Zhaozhi, who had been listening to the confession in the live broadcast room for a long time with a calm expression, finally relaxed.

It was somewhat unexpected, but also quite reasonable.

With "Sbtitle," a song for which he co-wrote the lyrics with Takamatsu Akari and composed the music himself, coupled with the popularity he built with the first generation members, Momoka Kawaharaki is poised to break new heights as a virtual YouTuber!

......

(Takasaka Tō also covered "Sbtitle," and the emotion was quite good. This song was released by Bearded Man in 2022; the composition and lyrics are very moving, and it went viral on the Billboard charts.)

Main text: Chapter 73, Chapter 70 Poetry Recitation: "I Really Want to Be a Dog"

The lyrics of "Sbtitle" surge with emotion:

...I want to convey gentleness rather than correctness.

And I hope to receive this affection.

Not like the masses of people decorating with colorful lights

And just one person

That's you.

......

Is ExElio Studio a monster? Aine has "BIBIDIB", Arale has "Busy Busy", and they even have "Sbtitle" waiting for me?

This also reflects the era of the Big Girls Band; everywhere you look, there are great songs and lyrics.

No, if we really have to give a rating, the other two are songs by virtual streamers and girls, but this one is clearly on a different level. "Sbtitle" is the kind of super song that can dominate the whole year.

点评《Sbtitle》7这首歌的弹幕4，直接淹1没、消失在了6大片刷着9河原0木桃7香名字的8应援弹幕之0中，见不到踪影，只剩下连绵的欢呼。

The five-minute song passed in the blink of an eye.

Kawara Momoka let out a breath, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with herself.

She glanced at the comments section.

Even after the song ended, the comments section was still filled with people calling out "Moe Moe Kaori," a name that was a bit too cute for Kawara Momoka to like, hoping that she could sing it again.

She doesn't plan to do an encore.

Momoka Kawahara felt that her guitar playing alone wasn't enough to bring the song to its best stage performance, as it lacked too many important instruments, and singing while sitting in a chair was too uncomfortable.

She can only perform at her normal level when she's standing up; right now, she's only at a reduced capacity. At the same time, she also realized just how terrifying Arale Nakamachi, who was also singing while seated, truly was.

Kawara Momoka cleared her throat.

"Sbtitle is like that. It sounds a bit cheesy, but it's not really a love confession song. This song is about feelings that are greater than love, feelings for the person who supports your dreams and is someone you can rely on. I sincerely feel that I am lucky."

"Perhaps it will be a long time later before you realize that you are just an ordinary grain of sand in the industry. The you who once reached the future where your dreams were realized has become your dream for next year... What I'm saying is a bit strange, maybe it's because I've been drinking, that's probably how I feel."

"In short, that's it. Thank you everyone. Also, just like the lyrics, I hope that the one who receives this affection is not just one of the masses who are like decorative lights, but just one person, and that is you."

After a few words of conversation, the debut live stream came to an end.

4. When Kawara Momoka turned off OBS, cut off the live stream and microphone, her head was already a little dizzy. She struggled to move her guitar off her body, placed it on the table, and looked at Imaizumi.

1. "Don't you feel anything?"

6. She secretly revealed everything she wanted to say.

9. But Kawara no Momoka has no regrets.

As she herself said, being reserved and secretive is not in the nature of a musician like her.

7 Meanwhile, Ima Teruyuki was still constantly scrolling through the normal live stream data sent by the agency. Nakamachi Arale had already refreshed the first generation's live stream data, and Kawara Momoka refreshed it again.

Unlike the band girls who sell cuteness and dreams, Momoka Kawahara has a unique and valuable role as an arranger. With the hit song "Sbtitle", she has become a pillar of the agency, second only to Ps*Ple, and earned 600,000 to 700,000 yen in revenue upon her debut.

With this, all the first-generation members have debuted, achieving great success.

He looked at Momoka Kawaharaki and smiled: "For someone I trust, this should be considered normal performance, right? It seems your popularity is about to become the highest among the first generation, which doesn't surprise me at all."

Momoka Kawahara snorted: "Your cold remarks went a little too far. I also need to be praised. As your own artist, you should praise her when she deserves it, don't you understand?"

She came over.

As they passed by Imaizumi, Momoka Kawahara patted him on the shoulder.

See you tomorrow, my fans.

"If you have time, come over to my place for a drink? I'll show you how much I can drink."

......

The next day, the weekend.

The agency's first-generation trainees have all arrived, and they're preparing to discuss more detailed MC livestream scripts.

Momoka Kawahara, having vented her emotions in a hearty and unrestrained manner, only lasted one night. The next day, she noticed something was amiss with her fan base.

With all five members of the first generation debuting, the agency's accumulated popularity exploded, and she instantly became a virtual streamer with a fan base on par with Arale Nakamachi. In terms of memes, Momoka Kawaharaki is even more successful. Arale Nakamachi's character is entirely based on her singing ability, while she...

What does "I really want to be Miss Moe Moe's dog" mean?

Kawara Momoka's fingers trembled slightly as she looked at the short Chinese essay that Chihaya Aine had sent her using translation software. "I regret it. Virtual streamer fans are so weird. I want to go back to Kawasaki..."

The contents of the article are simply unbearable to look at.

She also regretted saying things like "If you have no emotions, then die." The emotions in this short Chinese essay were almost overflowing, so sincere and rich that she couldn't bear to look at it.

Chihaya Aine, always eager for drama, exclaimed, "Little Sheep seems to really enjoy poetry recitation. Should we let her recite some? Ugh, I really want to be Momoka's dog, but she's a feline. I'm crying..."

"Meow meow? There's something about felines too?"

4 "You two want to die, don't you?" Kawara Momoka subconsciously wanted to make a gesture towards Chihaya Aine, but she stopped herself, constantly telling herself to calm down, to calm down.

She can't teach these idols to give the middle finger.

Mikawa Momoka turned around and asked Imaizumi for help: "President, I've never asked you for anything, but could you please clean up the atmosphere in my comment section on Bilibili? I really can't stand these sincere but... weird little essays anymore, and no one told me that fans would do this."

Ling: "You'd better try to overcome this."

Wu Jinzhao feels sorry for Kawara Momoka, but he will only secretly collude with Bilibili to increase their efforts.

"These kinds of emotionally rich and abstract short essays are rare and hard to come by. Other members of the first generation would love to have them, and many of them are your fans' genuine feelings. Destroying and trampling on the genuine feelings of your fans will not end well."

"I'd rather not have fans like that!"

"Aside from those fans from exceptionally wealthy families who donate hundreds of thousands at a time, the fans who genuinely believe in your persona are the ones who spend the most money. Anyway, they only act crazy on the Chinese internet, so it doesn't affect you," Jin Zhaozhi reminded.

"..." Momoka Kawaharaki was caught in a dilemma.

Do we really need abstract, obsessive fans who are so deeply ingrained in our minds?

I don't care if she doesn't want it, but President Jin definitely wants to make money off these fans...

Main text: Chapter 74 Chapter 71 I was thinking, no one wants the club president either?

Kawahara Momoka's gaze involuntarily drifted to Imaizumi.

After their eyes met, she instinctively turned her head away, clutching her guitar, as if trying to do something to hide her embarrassment. But her personality wouldn't allow her to do so, so she turned back.

With a self-righteous look in her eyes, she crossed her arms and stared intently at Jin Zhaozhi.

Jin Zhaozhi: "..."

"Is there something you need, Miss Momoka?"

Saki: "No, it's just like yesterday, I'm feeling a bit sentimental. I've been drinking and eating too much meat lately, so I've become a bit melancholic. President, just think of it as me looking for inspiration for my new song."

Kawara Momoka stubbornly defended herself, closing her eyes in a fit of pique.

Jin Zhaozhi felt somewhat helpless.

The other members of the first generation of Sugimoto are all very nice, and they don't have the typical middle school grudges. How could 20-year-old Momoka Kawahara, who dropped out of school, be in this situation?

Si could only remind him, "Remember to contact me if anything happens, if I can help. If you really don't like the atmosphere of Bilibili's bullet comments, I can also contact them to resolve it for you."

I said, "No need, no need, it doesn't matter what they say over there..."
