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

"This is Ps*Ple, an old friend of Bilibili. Their MC-themed home is really popular lately; it seems like Hina Hikawa stole Aine's home and got a comeback. This is the band Rise Len, who recently joined Bilibili. They're quite popular in Japan, and doing alright on Bilibili..."

"There's no need to introduce Zero, he's the second generation member that all of us at SN are really looking forward to! When talking about the first and second generation members, we definitely have to mention E-Company's radio drama."

"E-Company is currently pushing forward with two projects: an anime adaptation of the MyGO radio drama, and a new radio drama, 'The Virtual Idol's Witch Trial,' and its game adaptation. The radio drama's author is still the first-generation member, Himegami Hina; it seems E-Company intends to groom her in a different direction..."

This can also be seen as a change of pace for Takamatsu Tohru. After finishing MyGO, which is essentially a heartwarming story, Takamatsu Tohru's next radio drama is "The Witch Trial of Virtual Idols".

The Witch Trial tells the story of a virtual character.

Sixteen non-human beings, including dolls, witches, and fox spirits resurrected under the moonlight, are imprisoned by a mysterious entity. They have lost all memories of their connection with humans, only remembering joining the agency and then being imprisoned. The dog witch, Sakuraha Aine, initially thought everyone could get along and eventually escaped prison. However, one night, the sheep princess, Hina, was declared dead, and subsequently, a game of werewolf began in the prison.

The radio drama will be adapted into a mystery-themed game similar to Danganronpa.

While introducing the new radio drama, Fan suddenly saw a familiar person.

Even with a baseball cap and mask on, he could recognize that person as Bottle152! Didn't he say he canceled his flight? Why did he still come?

Chapter 103 (Chapter 99): Welcome to the world of veMjic! (3 words)

Among these 800 tickets, there are about 30 Bilibili content creators (P&C creators), which is quite normal.

E社 is actually not that bad in the Japanese music industry. It's just a small, aggressive company that crushed many second- and third-tier agencies in two months.

The music industry has given "Sbtitle" very high praise, and many musicians can accept being overwhelmed by this kind of music. Although the artist may use underhanded tactics, their own talent is undeniable.

But on Bilibili, it's different.

On Bilibili, E社 is the undisputed emperor of the anime and manga world. Its signed artists and MyGO radio dramas boast over 20 million fans. Whether it's a PS*Ple group broadcast or a first-generation Bilibili-exclusive livestream, peak viewership consistently reaches 20,000 to 30,000. With that kind of popularity, it would be strange if other content creators didn't try to capitalize on it.

Fan sent his assistant to interview several Japanese people, while he secretly approached Mr. Baotou Niu. Three

This is the coffee shop's rest area, where various signs and notices are in Japanese, Chinese, and English.

This isn't actually surprising; Tokyo, with its thriving tourism industry, has a lot of Chinese-speaking people, and larger stores often have Chinese-speaking staff. The only issue is that QR code payments aren't yet widespread in Tokyo.

"Why are you dressed like that? Did E社 (E-Company) stop you from making those trash talk? Did your fans not let you come?"

"Hey! I'll disguise myself a little."

Mr. Niu cursed, "I don't want to be filmed! E-Company definitely won't intervene, but if it were the Mercedes-Benz Arena in China, I might actually be stopped."

“Do you really hate me that much? That's an exaggeration,” Fan Shi said.

"It's just picking on the weak. Uncle Chen forwarded the news about E社's MyGO animation, and as a result, Uncle typing 'cll' became a new meme in the anime community. I typed 'cll' to ride the wave, and I got scolded again," Mr. Niu said.

As is well known, Pingzijun152 has always had a poor reputation on Bilibili.

Of course, while his reputation is bad, it's not as bad as that legendary ninja master who passed down countless ninjutsu techniques. He's criticized simply for initiating fights, but his attempts are often poorly executed and prone to errors. Within his own field, the macro-level anime industry, he still holds considerable renown.

“Actually, I think you’re fine going down this path. Your video, ‘My Confession,’ has a pretty high number of views. If you were to do something like ‘Conversion to E-Society,’ it would definitely be a hit.”

"No, no, I actually really like the first generation and MyGO. I don't want to be associated with negative publicity. As long as the MyGO adaptation doesn't reach the level of the four great anime classics, I'll directly name it Anime of the Year..."

Mr. Niu chatted with Fanshi for a few minutes, then quickly said goodbye.

It must have been tough for him to have to disguise himself just to see a show in a foreign country.

Fanshi checked Bilibili and saw that Pingzijun152 had posted a message saying he was sick and that tonight's reading radio show and tomorrow's emotional radio show were canceled. A bunch of comments below were speculating that he was just joking about collecting tickets and hadn't actually gone; he was just pretending to go to the show... It's just that Bilibili can't display IP addresses right now.

"It starts in half an hour, everyone can enter!"

A staff member called out from the LiveHose café, and the surrounding crowd immediately began to slowly move towards the studio. There were also many people who were just pretending to have tickets.

Fan Shi, accompanied by his assistant and a popular Arknights content creator, went inside. Upon seeing the glass panel that was somewhat difficult to spot due to the lighting, he immediately understood:

"Oh, this kind of holography. In that case, the viewing experience should be quite good. Under these conditions, the most ideal holographic effect can be achieved."

The studio lights dimmed.

Suddenly, the somewhat scattered lights illuminated the edges of the stage, and cheers erupted in the studio. The star-shaped, radiating stage lights converged at a single point. Then, the starlight fell.

A golden fox, holding a microphone with its right hand raised high, appears amidst a shimmering starlight particle effect. The fox has pointed ears, and a large, fluffy tail of considerable value sways slightly behind it.

Arale Nakamachi wagged her tail and turned to the side, making a fox gesture.

“Ohhhhhhh!!——”

"Arale! My fox god!"

"Fox God, take me away, Fox God!"

Even though there were only 800 people, the cheers that erupted instantly were incredibly enthusiastic.

The difference between watching on a live stage and watching online is huge. With the cheers, even someone as calm as Fan Shi in real life felt a bit exhilarated.

The stage lighting was very professional, and E社's production standards were very high. It wasn't like the casual kind that PS*Ple did for their first performance. It was really well-designed. The entrance animation effects alone probably cost tens of thousands of yen, not to mention the "Universe of Stars" stage, which really cost a lot of money.

The lights gradually turned a deep, atmospheric red.

The other members of the first generation gradually appeared in the special effects, each appearance eliciting cheers from the offline audience and online viewers. The cheers and the number of comments peaked when Shishigami Momoko appeared!

"Mengmengxiang, we're waiting for you in the Moon Forest!!" (Liu)

Come and visit Hanasaki River!

"Mom! Mom, stop hitting the guitar! Hit me instead!" (Surname)

Various sounds mingled with the cheers. (The last phrase, "欺", appears to be a fragment and doesn't translate directly.

The virtual avatar of Shishigami Momoka crossed her arms, and a sweating effect appeared on the model's face, captured in real-time. Clearly, Shishigami Momoka, who initially rejected this kind of audience atmosphere but didn't explicitly express dislike, is now inextricably linked to this image. (玐)

"The first piece, 'Our Bustling Streets'!"

......

At first, Fan Shi and the surrounding audience seemed to be enjoying themselves.

The high-quality music, combined with the enthusiastic atmosphere of the audience, made it a truly unique experience for him and the online viewers on Bilibili. The song was great, and the obviously young lead singer displayed remarkable talent, truly deserving of his title as a supernova in the Japanese music scene.

There are actually many newcomers in the Chinese music scene, and there are quite a few talented ones. It's not the case that there's a lack of new talent as some Bilibili users believe, but it certainly can't compare to the Japanese music industry.

There aren't many Chinese-language musicians who have joined Bilibili, but they probably don't have time to leave now.

He seemed to see Bilibili being dominated by E社.

After the first song ended, several first-generation trainees were introducing themselves and talking about their MC roles on stage. Fan Shi glanced at Bilibili and found a barrage of criticism. It seemed there was a server issue; the audio quality of the entire beginning of the song was very messy, and some audience members even experienced silence.

All I can say is, he truly lives up to his uncle's reputation.

The next song, "Sbtitle," was another explosive performance. This song didn't rely on flashy vocal techniques; it was simply beautiful and showcased the expensive stage effects.

Judging from the soaring temperatures of the audience, you can tell just how powerful this song of the year is. From the arrangement to the lyrics to the performance, nothing is lacking; it's truly amazing.

"Not only does he know how to make money, but he also really understands music. He truly deserves to be rich at E-Company," Fan Shi remarked with some emotion.

Midway through, he also heard the audience shouting in Japanese, which he could vaguely understand.

Congratulations on topping the Bilibord trending chart in Japan!

"Sbtitle has reached number one, and its YouTube views have surpassed 20 million!"

"Now everyone in the Japanese music industry will know about E社 (E-Company). The first generation band has instantly become a second-tier band, right? This song has received rave reviews overseas, and the Japanese music industry will have to hold their noses and praise it!"

The live chat was flooded with congratulatory messages.

After "Sbtitle" ended, the light once again faded into darkness.

Next up is the part that Pan-style is most looking forward to.

veMjic, which was mentioned briefly in the second season of the MyGO radio drama, is the Super Galaxy Battleship band that Xiangwan Shirley formed after leaving Crychic and being spurred on by MyGO!

E社's various promotional strategies also show that the second-generation band veMjic is the band they have invested the most promotional resources in. They even preferred to have veMjic perform at this live show, where the first-generation members made up half of the songs, in order to promote them.

Viewers are really curious about just how strong the second generation members are, and whether they can compare to Arale Nakamachi.

Then, an eerie moon hung high in the sky.

In a corner of the stage, a blue-haired girl quietly played distorted piano music.

It wasn't a real stage play, but rather an animated version of moonlight spilling onto a tranquil stage. A group of indistinct, masked figures gathered together, watching what appeared to be a crime scene, followed by a lighting technician, a forensic doctor, and police officers.

This scene, almost impossible to replicate in a live performance, elicited murmurs of surprise. Ordinary performances could hardly create so many visuals; this is a unique advantage of virtual models.

Moreover, this scene is difficult to evaluate.

Did the lead singer fall to his death?

The petite lead singer with brown hair and blue eyes lay quietly inside the cordon, surrounded by a crowd pointing and whispering about her body. Countless voices began to echo around her.

"Only children care about right and wrong; mature people only care about interests."

"You should have just kept quiet! Why did you point it out?"

"It was like this from the beginning, what difference would it make if it were changed? Weren't you one of them too? Dying like this is just causing trouble for others, what good would it do you?...

"..."

The images of the person who fell to their death gradually faded into the distance.

Beneath the towering building, the lead singer walked silently, holding flowers to commemorate the dead. Around her were countless scenes of school bullying: water splashed in the restrooms, graffiti on desks, a group of people deliberately laughing at a pitiful black sheep, and countless small candles laid out on the ground, as if the dead had returned to life...

Eight parents weeping before a white bed, a girl silently facing them. A classmate sobbing while looking at photos of the deceased in the bathtub, a girl silently writing pessimistic words on the rooftop...

The dimly lit animation created an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

Suddenly, the lead singer let out a shout:

Lu: "I hate this!"

Instantly, the stage lit up completely. All animations vanished, leaving only four masked girls on the red and black stage. Izare Nina stood in the very center, clenching her fist tightly as she faced the screen.

"Go ahead and beat me up. What's the difference between giving in and dying? If this is rebellion and wrong, then keep making this mistake!"

4. "Welcome to the world of veMjic!"

Main text:

And Chapter 104 and Chapter 100: The Shocking Rebellion of the veMjic Band (3 words)

veMjic's appearance brought an unprecedented shock to the audience.

No band has ever dared to write a storyline as exaggerated as "lead singer jumping off a building to commit suicide." Even suspense novels would be criticized by mainstream society for giving a negative influence on teenagers if they wrote such a story. As for bullying? We know about it, but we can't solve it. Adults can't get involved in teenagers' problems.

Tokyo is probably okay, but places like Kumamoto and other areas are completely out of control.

This magical realism animation alone, depicting "the band's lead singer Dolores jumping off a building after being bullied at school, and being resurrected as a doll under the moonlight," is enough to make veMjic a viral sensation.

Of course, there are many other interpretations of this animation.

For example, jumping off a building to commit suicide is merely a symbolic act; after being rejected by her peers, her heart had already died. Or perhaps, the lead singer who survived and continued singing is from another world, another possibility where she refuses to say no to a world filled with black sheep and the silent majority.

Anyway, Yamada Ryo, who got an internal ticket to E-Company, has already had his fill of watching.

She hadn't experienced bullying, but because of her unconventional ways, she had faced strange looks. She loved being rebellious, she loved the feeling, she loved being unconventional!

The lead singer didn't even introduce herself to the audience, or explain why she looked like the person who fell to their death in the animation, before the music started.

However, before the subsequent arrangement and vocals.

None of this matters anymore.

Footsteps that were barely perceptible.

Distorted and deliberately elongated piano sounds. (Note: The last line appears to be a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)

Amidst the light, slightly melancholic keyboard sounds and full harmonies, bassist and vocalist Doloris begins singing veMjic: "Is the traffic light blue or green? Trying to distinguish this ambiguous thing..."

The arrangement intentionally emphasizes the bass; aside from the distorted piano, the first minute of the music consists entirely of heavy bass riffs. As soon as the lead singer begins to sing, the heavy and negative emotions from the beginning of "Black Sheep" to the chorus are fully and completely conveyed, with the intense, somber mood even causing the applause to pause.

The listener's emotions are completely captivated by the song, left only to be overwhelmed by its masterful arrangement and astonishing vocals, allowing the song's emotions to rise and fall, even to the point of being awe-inspiring.

Bass and lead vocalist Dolores' young voice is masterful; whether in deep, somber tones or in the accusatory chorus, she doesn't need to draw out the last word of a lyric. The powerful, whispering, and even breathy surround sound conveys the overflowing emotion of the song.

More importantly, this song isn't a typical love song, nor is it a celebration of life, nor a song praising relationships between people... or any of those other positive-energy songs. Zero

This is a song that begins with negative emotions and ends with rebellion and accusation in the second half—a truly unconventional song! It accuses society of controlling the individual, the powerless self-destruction of individual personality in the face of society, and the control and oppression of teenagers by adults! (Wu)

Middle-aged people may find this kind of music noisy and childish, but for young people who are the main force in the consumer market, veMjic is simply amazing. This band that expresses their innermost feelings is truly fantastic!

Go ahead and beat me up, but if I give in, what difference is there between that and death!

If you want to control all of this, then step over my dead body!

"Black Sheep" and "Dissonance" were the only two songs performed by veMjic in this compilation live, but the arrangement of each song was very beautiful. The band's main theme of resisting adult control and advocating rebellion was even more amazing and left a deep impression in this era of big girl bands!

veMjic didn't even introduce himself. He performed two songs and then decisively left the stage, letting Roseli, who also has a dark gothic style, take his place.
