The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

Could it be...that this is also part of his plan?

The three songs Yukina sang, plus Hirayuko's first song, were all standard Japanese-style songs, so the audience was inevitably a bit tired of them. The final English song, with its completely different style, firmly captured the audience's attention, but the winner was still unclear. It's just that... Yukina always felt that Hirayuko simply wanted to sing this song -

After all, although the first song is very good, it is definitely not the most suitable song for him.

It was probably like what he said before, this was a "war" between him and Yukina, so it was enough for Yukina to recognize him. Even though this song only contained simple words——

But...I don’t understand English——!

A certain aloof singer who can only speak broken Japanese English is unable to rise again in the face of Heishin's pure English!

......

You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down

Even though you are like a huge rock dragging me into the abyss

Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground

But I'll light a match and burn you to ashes

We are the jack-o-lanterns in July

We are like pumpkin lanterns in July

Setting fire to the sky

Burning wildly across the sky

Here, here comes this rising tide

Now the tide is rising and crises are everywhere

Just eat on

We will all rush to the battlefield and fight bravely

......

Here, Hirashin's song selection weaknesses began to show. Although Hirashin's "synchronization rate" with the songs was higher than the first, and the singing was even more effective, his language weaknesses were already evident—most of the audience simply followed the rhythm and enjoyed the performance, without the same deep resonance that the first song had resonated with them.

......

Put on your war paint

Put on your armor.

Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies

I wish to bear the cross, pray silently, and die on the battlefield

Silver clouds with gray linings

And I have seen the dawn of victory behind the dark clouds

So we can take the world back from a heart attack

We will eventually take back the city from the hands of the lost and violent

One maniac at a time we will take it back

Even a manic warrior is enough

You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start

You know time flies by when you're waiting for the battle song to sound

So dance alone to the beat of your heart

So dance alone and follow your heart

Hey! young blood!

Hey! Hot-blooded youngsters!

Doesn't it feel like our time is running out?

Can't you feel that the end is approaching?

I'm gonna change you like a remix

I will definitely transform you completely like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Then you will rise like a phoenix from the ashes

Wearing our vintage misery

We all carry the same suffering and sorrow

No, I think it looked a little better on me

No, I still think I understand better.

I'm gonna change you like a remix

I will change you like a mix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Then I will let you rise from the ashes like a phoenix

Put on your war paint

Draw the camouflage you need for war

......

The war is won, before it's begun

We won this fierce battle without fighting

Release the doves, surrender love

Release peace and hand over love

The war is won, before it's begun

We won this fierce battle without fighting

Release the doves, surrender love

Release peace and embrace love

The war is won, before it's begun

We won this fierce battle without fighting

Release the doves, surrender love (Wave the white flag!)

Let go of peace, let go of love (waving the white flag)

The war is won, before it's begun (Wave the white flag!)

We won this fierce battle without fighting

Release the doves, surrender love (Wave the white flag!)

Release peace and embrace love (waving the white flag)

Heyyyyyyyy

Hey!

Young Blood!

Young people who love rock music!

Doesn't it feel like our time is running out?

Can't you feel that we are all going to die soon?

I'm gonna change you like a remix

I will definitely transform you completely like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Then you will rise like a phoenix from the ashes

Wearing our vintage misery

We all carry the same suffering and sorrow

No, I think it looked a little better on me

No, I still think I understand better.

I'm gonna change you like a remix

I will change you like a mix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Then I will let you rise from the ashes like a phoenix

Hey! young blood!

Hey! Passionate and enthusiastic young people!

Doesn't it feel like our time is running out?

Can't you feel that the end is approaching?

I'm gonna change you like a remix

I will definitely transform you completely like a remix

Then I'll raise you like a phoenix

Then you will rise like a phoenix from the ashes

Put on your war paint

Please put on your battle makeup.

Although Ping Xin's synchronization rate with this revised version of "The Phoenix" (originally sung by Fall Out Boy) has reached 120%, it is true that a song that is difficult to understand, no matter how exciting it is, can only bring temporary stimulation like fast food with a lot of seasonings, and cannot become a meal that warms the heart.

"...Thank you all for listening."

But it turns out that the venue is full of minors who can't let loose. After all, if Ping Xin follows his own style, there will definitely be some lyrics that don't fit the "baby physique" and may cause a cross-dimensional impact. If there is a chance, maybe I can organize a special show with a certain threshold next time... There will be no next time!

The venue erupted in cheers as Hirayuko performed a short impromptu guitar solo. However, everyone, including Ms. Minato Yukina and the other audience members, felt in their hearts—

No, actually I didn’t understand at all!

"...In the end, it's the audience who makes the final decision. Are you ready for this (feeling guilty)?!" Yukina answered after taking the microphone from Ms. Tsukishima Marina.

Are you the only employee here, Ms. Marina? What a shady company!

After collecting the admission tickets and voting choices from each audience member, Tsukishima Marina returned to the stage and stood between Minato Yukina and Hirayuki, who had been standing there under the gaze for a long time.

"Well, finally it's time for the two of you to vote," said Marina.

"...Hey—are we both going to vote too?"

"Of course. After all, you two should have seen each other's performances and bought tickets, so you have the right to vote."

After exchanging a glance with Yukina, Tsukishima Marina began counting the votes. There was actually an electronic voting process specifically for the Taibang, but since these two had suddenly decided to participate and were both going it alone, it couldn't be considered a true Taibang (band competition), so this primitive method was used.

"By the way, Yukina, who did you vote for—?"

Standing on the stage, the two parties were talking to each other without any pressure. Winning or losing was not important to them.

"I voted for you. Your skill in eliciting resonance is indeed better than mine, and your guitar playing skills are also excellent and impeccable. You deserve the victory as you are capable of both jobs." Yukina replied.

At this moment, as the counting was nearing the end, Ping Xin was leading by a narrow margin of one vote.

"Really... So we both voted for each other."

"...All?"

At this point, the two people on the stage hadn't noticed that the microphone was still on because Ms. Marina was counting the votes.
