Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 121 Thousands of People Chorus

"Xia Jun's playing is amazing, the emotions he conveys are even more abundant than singing. Could it be that he and I have the same thoughts?"

She had heard the prelude countless times, but when Xia Fan played it, Xing Ming Hanami felt an unprecedented sense of emotion and it touched her heart...

The longing that had accumulated in her heart, like the increasingly full buds of cherry blossoms, bloomed irresistibly!
Taking a deep breath, Xing Ming Hana turned to look at Xia Fan, her eyes sparkling, and she sang softly: "I have been waiting for the day when I can meet you again..."

"On the road where the cherry blossoms are dancing, I wave to you and call out your name."

Just this first line has surpassed the countless times she has sung it before, and the emotions in the song have once again been sublimated to a whole new level.

"Because, no matter how painful it was, you always smiled like that."

“It makes me feel like I can keep working hard no matter what setbacks I encounter.”

Watching Xia Fan playing the piano attentively, Hoshina Hanami's clear and pure voice, in addition to longing, expectation and blessing, also carries shyness and love, which adds a strange touch of pink to the song with sadness as the main theme.

"What a moving performance... such a soulful singing..."

"Ms. Hanami, I have been, and have been waiting for a 'reunion' like today..."

"Yes, on a day when cherry blossoms are flying, I can put aside my work and daily affairs and come here from thousands of miles away to wave to you and shout your name from the audience. It's really wonderful!"

The "Sakura Guards" who were cheering in the audience felt their tears burst out uncontrollably, and their cheering actions became more intense.

"So, the song 'Sakura' can be so touching when heard live?"

"It's so powerful... It's worthy of being the hottest new song this spring..."

“The support from these fans is really nice!”

Most of the audience had heard "Sakura" before, but listening to the live performance was a whole new experience.

"As expected of the original singer, the emotions are so full... But I won't admit defeat..."

Following the melody, "Kurokawa Tsubasa" standing on the other side of Xia Fan licked the corner of his mouth with his pink tongue, looked at Xia Fan affectionately with his eyes, and picked up the microphone:
"In the scenery illuminated by the sunset, I can almost hear the song from that day."

"Sakura, sakura, blooming. Right now, I understand my fleeting fate."

Compared with the clean and melodious voice of Hoshina Hanami, the voice of "Kurokawa Tsubasa" is more passionate, high-pitched and penetrating.

"Goodbye, my friend. At the moment of parting, I will leave you with my unchanging feelings. Now..."

"I don't know if I can say those unadorned words to you right now, the real words that pray for your bright future."

She used her hair-raising voice pressure, gorgeous transitions, and wide vocal range to inject a strong sense of reluctance and undisguised admiration into the lyrics...

Compared to the gentleness, playfulness and sweetness she displayed the last time she sang "Summer Meeting in Tokyo", she is like two completely different people.

"How can the song 'Sakura' be sung with such passion?"

"Wow, so amazing! It turns out that the lead singer of "Broken Wings" has such a diverse style?"

The audience in the audience was still savoring the youthful emotions in Hoshina Hanami's song just now, when they were suddenly bombarded with emotions as strong as a direct shot from Kurokawa Tsubasa.

Hoshina Hanami and Horie Tsubasa have very different singing styles and different emotions, both extroverted and restrained, which are like ice and fire confronting each other, or like streams interweaving and merging into the sea, refreshing the audience's experience over and over again.

"By the way, are they singing in duet or to the keyboard player?"

"In this intense atmosphere, it's a relief that the guy in the middle can still calm down and play the keyboard..."

Many viewers noticed that although the two girls seemed to be singing face to face, their affectionate and shy gazes were all focused on Xia Fan, who was in the C position.

The fierce gazes and soulful singing of the two girls on his left and right formed a kind of "ice and fire" aura, which made Xia Fan instinctively dare not look up and just concentrate on playing.

When the song reached its climax, his eyes flickered and he carefully leaned towards the microphone in front of him:
"The ever-changing streets seem to be urging us on."

"Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms, they just fall quietly. Believe that one day, the moment of reincarnation will come." The voices of the three people blended together smoothly and sang the last chorus together.

"Don't cry, my friend, at this time of parting. Come with our unconcealed smiles."

"Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms, dance brilliantly. Bathe in the dazzling light, forever."

"Goodbye, my friend. Let's meet again there, on the path where the cherry blossoms are falling."

Many audience members in the audience also joined in the singing.

The chorus of three people gradually turned into a collective chorus that made the whole audience excited.

The simple and pure melody and catchy lyrics of "Sakura" are given a stronger and more shocking power in the voices of the crowd.

"Not bad, not bad, louder, we can get some nice pictures!"

"Thousands of people sang "Sakura" together. This is the first time in history!"

Yoshihide Higashino, who was standing in the outer stands and taking pictures, gestured "YEAH" to Ryoko Tachibana in the stadium from a distance.

"The unlucky guy who came on stage after us, was he singing 'Sakura'? It was so noisy..."

"Wait, Matsumoto-senpai, what's going on here?"

At the entrance of the stadium, Makoto Shibata, who had just walked out of the exit passage, looked at the "chorus of a thousand people" that was shaking the entire stadium with a puzzled look on his face.

"The group behind you, 'Broken Wings', has invited Hoshina Hanami to be their guest singer."

"There were probably more than a hundred Hoshina Hanami mad fans who sneaked into the audience like stalkers and started cheering crazily."

"In the end, it became like this..."

Matsumoto's face darkened and he spread his hands helplessly.

"Hoshina Hanami, the original singer of "Sakura"?! How could Xia Fan and the others possibly invite her?!"

Gazing from afar at the stage where Xia Fan was sandwiched between Hoshina Hanami and Horie Tsubasa and was being "madly tortured" with his singing and eyes, Shibata Makoto was so surprised that his jaw could not close.

"Manager Matsumoto, you didn't tell me that Hoshina Hanami would also come to this competition to promote her new song..."

"If they knew there would be a 'publicity conflict', I believe the company would have carefully considered whether to send me to such a small campus competition."

"I will report today's situation to the company truthfully when I return."

Wearing sunglasses and a mask, Terada Risa walked out of the exit passage, said this angrily, then turned and walked towards the school gate.

As for popular newcomers like Hoshina Hanami, mature (over) mature (hot) artists like them usually carefully consider appearing on the same stage together, so as not to become a stepping stone for others to climb up.

"Ms. Terada, please listen to my explanation. I have confirmed the guests with the organizing committee in advance. But Hoshina Hanami is a 'burning type' and it is impossible for her to inform us in advance..."

Matsumoto jogged after him and explained humbly.

"Hanami-san, she seems even more pure and lovely in person!"

"Hurry, there's still room over there, let's go in together!"

The other members of "Cheng Band" rushed into the gymnasium as if to watch the fun.

"No, how could this happen... Just two amateurs... No, forget it. No one can affect my gorgeous debut that I have been planning for two and a half years..."

Only Makoto Shibata was left abandoned there, staring blankly at the chorus in the gymnasium, his whole body trembling, his fists clenched, and his eyes becoming more and more resentful.
