The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

Naturally, her family would be worried about her going on a long journey at such a young age, but Asahi Rikka learned how to take care of everything in her life, and studied hard, with her grades improving significantly in a short period of time. In the end, her determination moved her father.

She currently lives in Shengxiang's student dormitory and works part-time at the public bathhouse "Asahiyu" run by her aunt's family in the shopping street and the newly renovated Live Galaxy. Since her cousin Nanami plans to study abroad next year, she may move there to save money.

Although she is currently receiving meal and housing subsidies from Shengxiang, it is highly likely that she will not stay and will go to Hanasakigawa to chase stars. PPP, I didn't expect there would be such a great place here...

Another thing worth mentioning is that when the restaurant first opened, Asahi Rikka invited Roselia, HHW, Afterglow and her favorite PPP to hold a concert.

Not only did she gain popularity but she also met her idol. Could it be that she is actually very smart?

Regardless, this happened when Hira Nobu was away, and although he had some understanding afterwards, it was only in written and verbal form, so whether Asahi Rikka was qualified or not was another matter.

"So you should have heard from Kasumi that RAISE A SUILEN is looking for a guitarist. Why did you apply for this position?"

"Because... because I want to form a band in Tokyo like everyone in PPP! And... and I saw RAISE A SUILEN's performance a while ago, it was amazing!"

In short, there is no point in talking too much, let’s see the real results with our own actions.

......

...

..

"Unqualified!"

"I think so..."

The expression on CHU2's face changed from expectation at the beginning to disappointment at the end, and Ping Xin, who was sitting on the chair on the other side, also looked embarrassed.

It would be better to say that Ping Xin even wanted to ask in return, how did you get the Shengxiang Special Talents Subsidy for such a performance? Is there anyone in your family?

"Although your guitar and playing style are indeed unique, I'm sorry, you're not the person we need at RAISE A SUILEN."

"Your playing technique is quite proficient, but during the performance you gave me the impression that you were a bit unsure and restrained... You were like 'a friend' of mine."

After hearing Hira Nobu's comments, Tamate Chiyu also became curious: "The friend you are talking about, is it you?"

"No, she's the lead guitarist for the band that ended up closing... They're also very potential 'rivals'. If you have time later, you might want to learn more about them."

"OK~"

Although the interview result of Rikka Asahi brought by Hirayobu was not satisfactory, it did not hinder CHU2's recognition and appreciation of Hirayobu. These days, she would occasionally ask Hirayobu for advice on music and band formation, and gained a lot.

Seeing that Asahi Rikka hadn't left yet, CHU2 waved and said, "Why are you still here? If you have time, why don't you go home quickly?"

This action is quite hurtful.

"It hurts...! Why did you hit my head so suddenly!?"

After giving Chu Pingfang a stab wound, Pingxin finally spoke to Liuhua, "Actually, what she meant was, 'Instead of standing here in vain, you should go home early to find your own problems and improve them.'... The child can't speak, so you should be more patient with him."

"Who are you calling a kid? But that's what I mean. Will things get better if you just stand here?"

At this moment, CHU2 also has some of the same eager-for-success attitude as Yuki Minato in the early days, but one side hopes to gain recognition for her father's music, while now she wants to achieve musical achievements that will be recognized by her parents.

It's ironic that although both sides were lost because of others and couldn't see the love deep in their hearts, Tamate Chiyu and Yukina became "enemies".

Perhaps this is also destined to be "fate" -

Chapter 85: Not even a moment to sigh for Asahi Rikka's free gift

To comfort Rikka Asahi after she failed her interview, the members of Poppin'Party wrote a new song called "StepxStep"...

Are all the high school students in the East Country really monsters?!

On the night of the band’s first anniversary celebration, the five members of Poppin’Party worked together to complete the new song “Returns”, which happened just last week.

Just a few days after Ping Xin took Asahi Rikka to the interview, they came up with a new song of high quality and personal characteristics without any preparation. Ping Xin was silent for a while and called himself a waste.

How could Rika Asahi be discouraged after receiving such a strong fan support? How could she continue to be depressed and stagnant?

The next day, Asahi Rikka found CHU2 again, and this time she came alone—

"Please, please give me another chance!"

"ha...!?"

Faced with Rikka’s sudden visit, CHU2 felt that he and RAS were underestimated. Otherwise, how could someone who was eliminated a few days ago dare to come to the second round so soon?

Faced with Tamade Chiyou's visible impatience, Asahi Rikka, who has a softer personality, was a little concerned but still asked with a very firm attitude.

Her perseverance and drive reminded Hirashin of a story he had heard from Kasumi Toyama. It was said that guitar was the only hobby that Asahi Rikka had persisted in.

She worked hard as a helper at home and saved up her New Year's money for several years to buy her first guitar. Perhaps it was because of her persistence and hard work that the specialist at Shengxiang made her an offer.

"Okay, okay, let her try it. It only takes the time of one song. And looking at her determined expression, do you think she will give up and leave if you don't let her try today?" Ping Xin coaxed.

"Yes, CHU2. Let her try it. It's time for our intermission now, right?" Ruiyi, the team mom, agreed and gave her a way out.

"Well...I'll let you try, but if you don't pass this time, I'll definitely find fault with you and criticize you harshly!"

Haha, she is indeed a good child. Criticism is the most serious punishment she can think of.

Pingxin smiled inwardly. It's really fun to take care of children.

......

...

..

Without her headband and glasses, Asahi Rikka is like a Gundam freed from its limitations. Besides being more powerful than usual, she also possesses many more fancy special moves, which is exactly what the two mentioned earlier about her lack of "personality"...

Naturally, this time Rika passed the interview assessment of CHU2.

"So one last question... Why did you want to join RAISE A SUILEN?"

"It's because of Poppin'Party-san's encouragement..."

"...Um?"

“But before that, I saw the RAS performance and was really shocked and moved!”

Although there was still a hint of bullishness in it, CHU2 still accepted Asahi Rikka's words and announced the next arrangements in a condescending manner while standing on a chair.

"Now that we've decided on the final member, let's start filming the promotional music video... If we want to compete with Roselia in popularity, online and social media promotion is essential!"

"He's right..."

Although Ping Xin answered first, Tamade Chiyu, who was used to being praised again and again, did not throw a tantrum like a child as usual. Instead, she was quite supportive of Ping Xin, the new "fairy assistant".

When I woke up, I found that someone had prepared solutions to all my problems and I only needed to follow the steps. I can only say, is there such a good thing?

Although Ping Xin wanted to complain about the fact that the first thing they did after joining the team was to shoot a video, he could not deny the correctness of doing so.

And if you think about it carefully, RAISE A SUILEN, where everyone performs under a stage name, is much more "professional" than girl bands like Roselia, who use their real names to go online, right?

If it weren't for Ping Xin's efforts, they would have been crushed to pieces long ago!

*Affected by the protagonist, the Internet in this world line is more abstract and developed, so their popularity is growing rapidly through the Internet, and the number of troublemakers will naturally increase accordingly.

If this continues, Tokyo Bay will be full sooner or later...

This place is full.jpg

"Come to think of it, even though you said you wanted to shoot a music video, CHU2, you should have a rough plan, right? For example, the style, scale, etc., those must be in place, right?"

"Well...of course! Our goal this time is to make a music video that's as good as BRAVE JEWEL!"

Oh huh, this is the end...

After all, the MV nicknamed "Passionate Desert" was shot by Ping Xin and the other five people. For this purpose, the five members of Roselia even took a week off.

"But...it's not easy to shoot an MV like this. Roselia and the others suffered a lot when filming in the desert, but they were lucky enough to make a decent film in the end. It's not difficult to achieve similar quality, but if you want to surpass them..." Pingxin tried to be as tactful as possible.

"What, isn't that a special effect!?"

Obviously, Zhu Shouzhiyou was very surprised at this time.

"What kind of person would be so bored as to actually go out in the desert under the scorching sun and set up equipment for people to play? The lighting, the environment, the performance, there are so many things to pay attention to!"

"..."

In the silence of the crowd, Ping Xin raised his hand stubbornly.

"I, Asuka Maheishin, always do things with sincerity and reliability, without a single lie—"

Believe it, believe it, even Captain Dragonfly doesn’t have as much credibility as you!

"Anyway...if it's not a desert, let's just forget about it, right?"

Sato Masuki, stage name MASKING, the blonde, fierce-looking Takarazuka-style cold beauty, made an exception and said this, and everyone else echoed him.

"Save the world."

"If I really want to go abroad, it will be very troublesome to deal with my passport and school."

"If we go to the desert, CHU2, which is used to air conditioning, won't be able to last even three minutes, right?"

"PAREO...?"

Unexpectedly, the majority of the RAS were people with common sense.

......

...

..

RAISE A SUILEN is very much to his liking. In addition to the powerful music style that incorporates electronic elements, there is also a sense of excitement in seeing new things.

Of course, practical needs are also an important factor. If any field wants to develop, it must have a constant stream of new and promising people; otherwise, it will eventually become stagnant.

By the way, Ping Xin's favorite music has always been rock music, and he prefers the harder metal rock. But this does not prevent him from liking other types of music, especially the strong rhythm music such as electronic core.

If a heavy metal rock girl band appears one day, then maybe it will be his (next) single push——

A masked band that hasn’t been implemented yet: What, are you thinking about me?

Chapter 86 His Cultural Festival

"Brother Pingxin, you helped us so much before, please let us do something to repay you!"

"Ah this..."

Toyama Kasumi's attitude is very sincere. Even if it is not sincere at all, doesn't that mean he won't get the labor for free?

impossible!

"Although I really want to decline your offer, I'm actually a bit short of manpower right now, especially talented actors with great potential like you."

"Okay, we'll definitely give it our all... huh?"

Not an excellent musician, but an actor?

Ping Xin pulled out a thick cylindrical object from his crotch. It turned out to be a script printed on standard A4 paper. The title on it was...

"Stand User: Blood Fate..."

I have to say that as soon as I saw the title, I felt a sense of awe. Now I have to add Ping Xin to this special stage play that is expected to last more than an hour and a half——

Don’t ask why it takes so long, the answer is that it uses up the quota of four programs at once!

"So, Brother Pingxin, what are we going to play? Are we going to play the heroine?"

If every man in the world has fantasized about becoming the strongest on earth, then every woman must have also fantasized about becoming a big star, a heartthrob, and stealing the show in front of the camera. Even Kasumi Toyama, who has already appeared on TV, is no exception.

"No, you're mainly responsible for the interludes in the play and acting as a street singing band. In short, your role is to set the mood and, by the way, you can also use your popularity to your advantage."

The current arrangement is for Hirayuko to sing and perform key songs such as the theme song, while PPP will be responsible for recording some background music for the drama. Hirayuko has entrusted them with the more everyday, warm, and uplifting parts, and the five of them will appear on stage as special guests that day.

Ah, this...

Ping Xin's blunt declaration of conscription left Toyama Kasumi speechless. This guy is really trying to climb up if given a chance, and he's almost reaching the sky!

You're a little too real.

......

...

..

"Please entrust this task to us, Brother Pingxin!"
