Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 329 is arguably one of the greatest guitar solos in history!

The girl has 30,000 followers.

The audience thought it was a bit exaggerated.

It's just an exaggeration in reverse.

With this level of skill, he only has 30,000 followers?!

However, most of these comments on the screen were just for fun and to make memes; no one actually thought they were offensive.

After all, for music-themed anime, exaggeration is fine; what's scary is music that isn't energetic enough.

From the start until now, the two consecutive segments have been incredibly energetic and powerful.

It gave the audience two exhilarating moments in a row!

That gave me the patience to keep watching.

In the female protagonist's memories.

The shared dark history of rock music lovers was revealed to the public.

[During the school break, I requested my favorite death metal song!]

In the scene, death metal echoes through the campus, creating a world where only one person is having a blast, while the surrounding students look utterly devastated.

It's more realistic now.

After recalling these memories, the female protagonist felt even more desperate.

He kept banging his head on the ground.

"The memory is coming back! Forget it! Forget it right now!"

The barrage burst into laughter.

As the story unfolds, both anime fans and longtime rock music enthusiasts are curious about what will happen next.

How can someone with social anxiety stand on stage and receive so much attention?
The anime provides an explanation.

We simply cannot handle even a little bit.

The female lead, carrying a guitar, finally caught the attention of a fellow enthusiast who was preparing to form a band in high school. As a result, the drummer from the community came to invite her.

However, the performance was extremely explosive, a negative explosion.

The female lead is very strong.

However, due to her social anxiety, she struggled to perform at her normal level even during rehearsals. When it came time to perform, she even wrapped herself in a large cardboard box.

This setting for social anxiety perfectly captures the feelings of every socially anxious person.

Holy crap, this is totally me!

This is so real, my heart is already racing!

[Wow, that's easy to understand!]

In anime.

The socially awkward female protagonist made a statement.

We must break through our limitations and unleash the full potential of our guitar hero, instead of performing as poorly as we did this time.

The first episode ended here, leaving many viewers stunned.

【Huh? That's all?】

Wait a minute, this progress bar is pretty high up!

【Wait, there are still ten minutes left, what's going on?】

Many viewers were puzzled.

However, I subconsciously thought of it as some kind of anime behind-the-scenes footage or some strange promotional advertisement.

I don't know.

This first episode of "Girl Rock" is completely genuine.

You could even say that the real essence is all in this ending theme.

Yes, the remaining ten minutes are all the end credits music.

If it were any other anime, someone might have already run away by now.

But unfortunately, this is a music anime.

Among the audience of a music anime, most viewers pay great attention to the opening and ending themes.

The music fans attracted by Li Can and his group especially deserve a taste of their music.

The ending credits begin with simple hand-drawn cartoons.

Free Bird

Free bird.

People in the live chat have already started playing.

[A free bird?]

[What the hell is this free bird? This is a free bird!]

Who cares what it is, it's just a bird.

[I must say, it's actually pretty good, it sounds great, I like it!]

There were bullet comments, but they were noticeably few.

The ending theme song is very lyrical.

It's a warm feeling.

Unlike traditional Japanese anime, this ending theme is very un-anime-like.

But anime fans found it very strange.

The churn rate was shockingly low.

"If I leave tomorrow, will you still remember me?"

"Because there are so many places I want to go, I need to set off quickly."

Hand-drawn illustrations gradually transformed into anime content.

The pink-haired female protagonist walks down the street.

As usual, the socially anxious person felt out of place with those around them.

However, when paired with the theme of "freedom," there seems to be a rather peculiar contrast.

"The spirit of freedom will never waver until death."

"And the bird you cannot change!"

Even seasoned anime fans didn't realize it.

When the male voice came on, the English accent became normal, no longer resembling the neon accent seen in the previous PV promotional song.

In a flashback animation, a blond man in his thirties is seen drunkenly sprawled in a bar, his back to the camera.

Verse.

refrain.

An interlude with an excellent melody.

Then repeat the verse and chorus once.

This seems to be a very common music format.

Only about four minutes had passed.

In many people's minds, this seems to be a complete song.

Some viewers have already started praising it in the comments.

[So heartwarming, I love this kind of rock music]

[A passionate person's tenderness is the most captivating!]

It can be repeated in the second paragraph.

But something seemed a little off.

Many audiophiles have already noticed the differences in the details.

The drumbeats seem a bit heavier now!
The guitar's echo is a bit stronger.

Is the bassist getting excited too?
No, it's almost over, why is there no sign of it ending?

Normally, the music should start to end at this point!

"Who knows if I can still change?"

The guitar intensifies the emotion.

More viewers realized that things were not so simple.

"My God! It's time for me to make a change!"

The lead singer's singing style suddenly changed.

Make a change!

And then the drumbeats suddenly sped up!
Swish.

The content adapted from anime has also been brought to three dimensions.

a second before.

The pink-haired female protagonist is carrying an electric guitar and looking down.

But the next second, he tilted his head back.

The cartoon image of Winnie, the "Guitar Queen" who appeared at the beginning, gradually turned into a real person.

Even the images of the pink-haired female lead's teammates behind her were transformed into the Devil Power band themselves, following the same positioning!

The scene that crossed the dimensional barrier caught the audience completely off guard.

And this "change" has even permeated directly into the music!

As the drumbeats speed up, the texture of the song "Free Bird" changes dramatically!

"Lord, I can change!"

"wont you fly high, freeeebird, yeah!!"

In the scene, Lin Feng suddenly stopped.

Winnie's guitar solo sent the entire audience into a frenzy!
Lyrical?

Everyone's energetic, let's get rocking!
The sudden change in style caught the audience off guard, prompting a collective gasp of disbelief.

The live chat exploded once again.

[Holy crap? This is awesome!]

I really didn't expect this job!

[Holy crap!! High energy!!] [Flying flying flying flying flying!!!]

[Go! Go! Go!]

Holy crap, this is so awesome!

Where's my skull? I'm asking you, where's my skull?!

Holy crap! God! This is absolutely divine!

[A solo that sparks like fire! A true guitar hero, a guitar queen!!]

[I had ears just to listen to this! So satisfying!!]

An explosive guitar solo, using string bending techniques, actually made the guitar seem to speak.

It seems to be saying "fly~fly~"!
The guitar solo showed no sign of stopping.

A variety of solo riffs kept sending the audience soaring into the air.

As the excitement spread...

The bass and rhythm guitar went completely crazy.

Even the originally calm drummer now had afterimages in his drumming movements, transforming into a Force Kid, swinging his drumsticks like a lightsaber.

[Flying, flying, flying! Still flying!]

[A strong sense of weightlessness reported from Luoyang]

[This is real takeoff, this is real flying, holy crap!]

I'm soaked! This is almost certainly one of the greatest guitar solos of all time!!

The drummer is truly insane, and Chan-ge's physical abilities are as amazing as ever.

[It's obvious they weren't there for the money; they were genuinely having a blast.]

The entire solo.

It flew for four minutes straight!
The incredible weightlessness gives you the feeling of suddenly flying into space and floating.

These four minutes or so left the audience completely thrilled; the immense sense of surprise combined with the feeling of weightlessness was unbelievable.

The first episode of "Girl Rock" showcases some incredibly ruthless and outrageous acts.

From an anime perspective, perhaps we can find some problems.

But from a musical point of view, what more could you ask for?

Just crush everything.

The solo, which lasted for more than 4 minutes, did not tire the audience at all; on the contrary, it was more and more enjoyable as it went on.

The beginning of the song is quite long, but it's almost a completely different song, with a distinctly different lyrical quality.

The two together create an amazing contrast!

After the first four minutes of lyrical experience, all the emotions suddenly take flight in the guitar solo.

It's like the gentle experience before passion.

The whole thing can only be described as incredibly vivid and thorough!

The anime was released forty minutes ago.

The comments section below experienced a surge in activity!

This is awesome! All new songs, and every single one of them is amazing!

I would call it a divine anime!

[It's a music anime, but DP... well, who else can pull off something this demanding?!]

This is real music!

[I just want to ask, DP never played "Riot" in Los Angeles, did they? Is this some kind of parallel universe?! You better hurry up and add that!]

[Seriously! Holy crap! God has no idea how many times I've listened to "Free Bird"!]

Just hearing the song title makes me feel weightless, buddy.

[Damn! After hearing what you guys said, I immediately clicked on it again and listened to the ending theme song again.]

When the latecomers saw these comments, they became even more curious about the anime.

After watching it once, the end credits rolled again.

Then I saw the "Parachute" prompt in the comments.

Some people jumped.

But some people just sneered and continued to watch.

Sometimes, the groundwork laid beforehand is very important.

After listening to the ending theme song, the new viewers, who also felt like they were flying, began to comment.

And they excitedly kept recommending it.

The animation itself is not just passable, it can even be said to be excellent.

And the music? It's simply divine.

Looking at the market as a whole, considering only the music aspect, there doesn't seem to be any other music anime that can be compared to it.

Can't beat it at all!
The first episode aired.

"Girl Rock" quickly became a hit!
This time, with real answers and serious content, it's more than just propaganda!

Various edits appeared on major platforms at lightning speed.

Fans who originally didn't want to watch anime and only wanted to listen to the songs couldn't resist their curiosity after listening to the songs and ended up watching the anime themselves.

Then I got excited.

The anime starts off with high energy, and it only gets more intense later on.

In the hearts of many fans.

This is undoubtedly one of the most brilliant guitar solos in history. In fact, many fans of the original series can still vaguely see Winnie playing "Through the Flames" like she was going crazy at the beginning.

The true guitar queen.

Memories of past DP band references are starting to become clearer.

This time, the storm is truly brewing again.

Even the major wards have finally rediscovered their original purpose.

A content creator filmed Winnie's guitar-wielding action from the Devil Hunter DLC and added a guitar solo from Free Bird to the video, which received an unexpectedly high number of likes.

Takeoff and rocking out in a physical sense.

[The real takeoff]

【I'll make you fly today!】

The True Guitar Queen

【The Power of Music】

[One rocked, the other rolled, it really was rocking and rolling!]

After learning of its extraordinary popularity online.

The production team finally laughed with relief.

People who frequently watch anime know that the ending theme song is not just the ending theme song.

In music anime, there's a unique way to make the opening and ending themes more memorable and impactful.

That is to immerse yourself in the storyline!

Music-themed anime are good at this, but most of the time they appear in the plot first and then serve as the ending theme. I originally planned to wait until the plot transitioned to later stages before experiencing this kind of explosion.

As a result, it took off right from the start.

The explosive popularity resulted in an extremely high number of clicks.

Click on the anime.

Quite a few comments from people who have come to "report in".

In addition, the anime itself is excellent.

The female lead, with her pink hair, has a very rich inner world. Due to social anxiety, her expressions often break down, and almost every now and then, she will have a meme-worthy moment.

This further amplified the buzz.

With emojis flying everywhere and music exploding.

The extent to which it went viral left Saito dazzled, exclaiming that it was simply an unrepeatable miracle!
"Hiss Kingdom One!"

"Is this the appeal of the DP band?! It's terrifying!!"

Saito wasn't the only one who was dumbfounded.

Even the veterans of the rock scene were dumbfounded.

With the explosive popularity of anime.

Surprisingly, many newbies have become curious about rock music and have started telling band jokes based on information found online—mostly bassists.

The injection of new energy has given old rock a second spring.

Many rock musicians were even shocked to find that with the explosive popularity of anime, the attention given to "rock and roll" was also increasing.

Although very limited, the increase in exposure is real.

in the country, band culture is not considered mainstream.

However, with the help of many anime and manga fans, it seems to be experiencing a revival and is once again coming into the public eye.

Is rock music niche?
It's definitely not niche!

The entire short video platform is filled with the weightless takeoff background music of "Freebird"!

This guitar solo quickly won people's hearts.

In Japan, the response was even more explosive.

Japan is a place where band culture is very popular, and it naturally attracts a lot of attention.

The world of anime and manga goes without saying; it's practically the flagship industry.

When the two are combined in this way...

That's like having two trump cards, making them invincible.

In addition, the DP band has two top-tier beauties, Lee Chan and Winnie.

The already popular band DP has shown amazing popularity, with a significant number of anime and manga enthusiasts among the huge number of new fans.

This is only the first episode.

Saito couldn't help but sigh.

"Fly fly fly fly fly"
