Joker's Band Game Story

It is not easy to open a livehouse in Japan because it is quite difficult to apply for a venue license due to policy reasons, so many businesses will find loopholes and choose to apply for a license as a "restaurant".

After all, it is normal to have a band perform in a restaurant, isn't it? Using meal packages as a sales method instead of "ticketing" has also successfully enabled many livehouses to operate smoothly, such as RiNG and "Fanxing" not far from here.

Livehouse also appeared in that Goddess band record. Not only Livehouse, you can even participate in various activities in the game, and you even have the opportunity to visit the martial arts hall.

It’s just that the game has just been launched, and these things have not yet been fully integrated into the game. For example, current band performances are still being performed live. However, in the future, the advantages of the game will gradually be reflected, and the performances in reality will naturally become less.

Maybe in the future, there will be strong competition in the Livehouse in the game, but this has nothing to do with Amamiya Ren. He doesn't run a shop. As a band mercenary, he only cares about whether there is anyone who pays him to work.

"Hello everyone! We are Hallo Cat~ Thank you for watching our performance. Next, let me introduce the members of the team to you!"

Soon the third performance began. Amamiya Ren leaned against the wall and admired the beautiful band on the stage from afar.

At this time, the lead singer was introducing the other members on the stage.

"Hello everyone, I'm Ayaka Sakai, the rhythm guitarist of the band. Thank you for your guidance."

A brown-haired girl greeted everyone rather nervously, and the lead singer waited for her to finish introducing herself before handing the microphone to Hachiman Kailing.

"I'm Hachiman Kailing, the bassist who's filling in for a band member who's sick and can't come to the show. Thank you for your guidance."

As Hachiman Kailing was speaking, her eyes on the audience couldn't help but turn to Amamiya Ren who was leaning against the wall. She didn't react much, but just glanced at him a few times before standing there and preparing to continue playing.

"Then next is our band's cover song - Light High! I hope everyone can rock out with us!"

As the lead singer finished speaking, the lights were immediately adjusted, and for a moment the entire Livehouse was ready to listen to the band's performance.

'Maybe I am just a firefly, shining a faint light in the night.'

Amamiya Renya closed her eyes and listened to the lead singer's performance.

Not professional enough, a bit amateurish. The breath is unstable and the rhythm is a bit fast.

In just one sentence, he could hear two problems.

'Perhaps I am just a candle, left on the table waiting to burn out.'

The sound can't be lowered. In this song, the main melody suppresses the high-pitched secondary melody, but the main melody can't be suppressed. To be honest, this song is not suitable for the third performance.

Amamiya Ren was criticizing the performances in his mind, which he felt were quite inadequate.

His idea was not wrong, and the gradually cooling atmosphere on the scene also proved that his guess was correct. This song was indeed not suitable to be sung at this time.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as the chorus is exciting, the cold moments before it can be easily forgotten.

So Amamiya Ren listened quietly to the subsequent singing.

"But I am the light! I shine like hope!"

The chorus was indeed exciting, but Amamiya Ren couldn't help but frown.

Compared with the original version, the band's handling of the rhythm in this part is not delicate, and the transition from low to high atmosphere should be smoother instead of being so abrupt.

It’s just that everyone is not that picky about music. For the general public, liking music does not mean that one has a high level of musical literacy. Naturally, when faced with this band, everyone still started to move their bodies.

"My heart is beating! Joy is shaking! It's time for her to make a brilliant appearance!"

The best performer among the people on the stage is undoubtedly Hai Ling. She can be said to be a professional musician and is quite good at this.

It was a pity that she was a bit out of tune with the others. The others were not as good as her in music. If her instrument was not bass, the performance would have been even worse. The band's tacit understanding was also very average, and everyone seemed to be doing their own thing. Fortunately, they chose a cover song, which was not difficult to cover, otherwise they would have been completely at a loss.

But Amamiya Ren has already guessed the future of this band. This band will not be remembered by the audience. At most, they will only remember that a band performed a cover of 'Light High' today, and that's all.

There is no way, but this is the cruel truth. If they were just a group of entertainment bands, they would not be upset about this, but if they want to achieve results...

The song ended very quickly, and the band sang two more songs afterwards. It was a pity that the band was overconfident or something, and actually sang their own original song in the last song.

Naturally, the atmosphere that had just warmed up cooled down again, and the atmosphere became awkward again for a while.

"Alian, Alian!"

At this time, Amamiya Ren heard someone calling him from behind. He turned around and found it was the store manager Rinrinko.

"What's wrong, store manager?"

Amamiya Ren walked over and looked at Rinrinko, wondering why she called her at this time.

Rinrinko pointed to the back row of the audience. Several of them had already left, and some of the others were wavering, seemingly having no interest in the subsequent performances.

"I'm really sorry, but I really need your help now."

Rinrinko quickly clasped her hands together and begged Amamiya Ren: "Someone from the band originally scheduled for the fourth performance is late, but the atmosphere is already very cold. If no one can go on stage to liven up the atmosphere, then..."

Rin Rinko looked like she was about to cry, and her appearance made Amamiya Ren sigh, "I know."

There is no doubt that Rinrinko hopes that Amamiya Ren can perform on stage to warm up the atmosphere.

“How long will that band take?”

"Five minutes. It seems that the team member is almost at the store now because of traffic jam. Please!"

At this time, the band had already left the stage in embarrassment. It would be terrible if the show continued to be dull. Rinrinko didn't want any more guests to leave during the show.

In this case, Amamiya Ren didn't say anything more. He just nodded and threw the bass on his back to Rin Rin Zi: "Then you can help take care of this bass first, and the money will be settled according to the old rules."

"Don't worry, it's just adhesive tape."

When Rinrinko heard Amamiya Ren say she wanted to go on stage, she immediately said there was no problem.

Compared to preventing the business from cooling down and affecting the store's reputation, the money that Amamiya Ren needs is a small amount.

Amamiya Ren has always been like this. He always charges money for this kind of work. If he helps for free just because he is a friend, there will be more trouble later. Brothers should settle accounts clearly, let alone friends. Amamiya Ren is too lazy to get involved in friendship and favors, so he must charge money.

"Cough cough."

With her guitar on her back, Amemiya Ren immediately ran backstage and took advantage of the two or three minutes of black lights during which the band would switch to another stage to quickly prepare to go on stage.

He usually carries a guitar and a bass, and these two are usually the only things the band needs most.

It is impossible to move the drum set casually, and a keyboard player is not a necessity for some bands, so he carries the guitar and bass instruments on his back. It is impossible for him to play the bass alone on the stage this time, so he has to bring the guitar with him.

Hai Ling, who had just stepped off the stage, suddenly noticed that Amamiya Ren was about to go on stage, so she reached out and asked, "What's wrong, Ren?"

"The next band will still need a few minutes, I'll go on stage to catch up."

"So what are you going to play?"

"impromptu."

Hearing this, Hai Ling also took her instrument and prepared to go on stage with him: "Let me help you."

"I'll give you half of the money."

"……it is good."

Hai Ling helped Amemiya not for the money, but she knew Amemiya Ren's character. He did things for money, and if she helped him, he would owe her a favor, which he would of course not be happy about.

But he didn't really say that he was so short of money, so he didn't mind even if someone came to help share half of the money. Hai Ling understood Yu Gong's thoughts, so after a moment of silence, she agreed with him.

"Eh?"

At this time, the rhythm guitarist Ayaka Sakai who had just come on stage suddenly exclaimed. What happened around her just now was so fast that she didn't react. Only then did she realize that the bassist who had just helped the band had come on stage again.

She glanced at her teammates again. They also knew that their performance had just gone wrong. They were all dejected and seemed not to notice what had happened.

“Swish~swish~”

At this moment, the sound of bass suddenly appeared on the stage.

This sound also focused the attention of the audience who were waiting for the black screen to turn to the stage. They all heard a cold male voice on the stage: "A song called "I'm So Annoying" for everyone."

As the sound fell, he took a deep breath and tapped the drumsticks in his hand.

Yes, he originally planned to play guitar, but now that he has a bassist, he has a new means to try - drums.

For solo performance, guitar and singing are the most suitable, but two people together can be regarded as an ensemble. Compared with guitar and bass, drums and bass are more compact. The bass line provided by the bass can complement the rhythm of the drums. Now we need to make the place lively, so naturally we need this kind of strong rhythm to make everyone excited again.

So Amamiya Ren immediately started playing, cleared her throat, and began to sing.

'What is right? What is stupid? I'll make it clear for you!'

As these words came to an end, dense drum beats and deep bass sounds burst out together. It was so explosive at the very beginning that it immediately aroused the audience's hormones.

The lights immediately came on at this moment. As an old employee, the backstage lighting engineer knew exactly when to explode to give everyone a surprise.

After singing the first sentence, Amamiya Ren did not continue singing, but instead banged the drum set hard. The rhythmic drum beats immediately aroused the excitement of the audience, and for a moment everyone couldn't help but shake along.

Some excited audience members even recognized Amamiya Ren and took out their phones to start filming the scene.

"I have been an excellent student since I was young, and I have grown up without realizing it. You don't deserve to have a brain circuit as sharp as a knife."

Amamiya Ren spoke again, and this time the lyrics caught everyone's ears immediately. The deep and sexy voice coupled with the youthful lyrics naturally made this group of young people excited, and many of them took out their glow sticks and shook to the beat.

"But it's not enough, it's never enough, it's a dilemma, whose fault is it, it's just a aimless and chaotic April Fool's Day, that's natural."

Si Guoyi!

Behind the scenes, Ayaka Sakai looked at the lead singer who was singing on the stage with a look of surprise. He could sing with such confidence while playing the drums, without any aura mixed in between. She admired his sophistication.

And in this steady voice, the main melody gradually came to an end, and the chorus began with his low roar: "Huh?"

"It's so annoying! I'm much healthier than you think! How can you, who is ordinary from head to toe, understand me!"

The already warmed-up venue suddenly exploded. The roaring sound like a collapse coupled with an even more powerful rhythm swept over, and the audience in the audience immediately became excited.

That’s right! This is exactly the feeling! It’s so powerful! It’s worth dying to this kind of music!

For a moment, everyone was suddenly excited as if they had been to bed. Under this full-of-tension performance, Hai Ling next to her was also shaking her left leg, and an excited expression gradually appeared on her face.

Yes, that's the feeling, that's rock 'n' roll.

She tried hard to suppress the smile at the corners of her mouth, but it seemed that she couldn't do it, and her face was about to collapse like in a certain video.

There was no other way. Only by his side, only in this kind of pleasure, she couldn't help herself at all!

"Is it really okay? I can't stop! The accumulation of resentment and dissatisfaction has turned into a sadistic temperament."

The other bands backstage could also hear this wild performance. They all stood up and looked at the stage performance on the monitor. They were all wondering what kind of monster this was.

"It's so annoying, I'm very casual, I'm not afraid of anything! No problem!"

As the last sentence fell, the lighting technician gradually turned off the lights on the stage.

The bands that were about to go on stage next realized that they were about to go on stage and all looked bitter.

It's over! This can't be stopped!

(PS: I have to say, ado’s songs are really hilarious. I often play her songs on repeat and can be hilarious for the whole day.)

(PS2: You can listen to this song 'うっせぇわ' to understand how excited the audience was.)

Chapter 4 Blue Twin-Tailed Deliveryman

“Thank you for your hard work…”

Rinrinko looked at Amamiya Ren who was counting money with a tired face. She really regretted letting Amamiya Ren go on stage.

I feel like letting Amamiya Ren go on stage is a bit like robbing Peter to pay Paul. If he doesn't go on stage, the place will be so cold that some people will leave. But when he goes on stage, it will become like this, too exciting that the next band can't catch up.

But this can only be regarded as a punishment for their lateness. Amamiya Ren has already helped them. Anyway, for them, a place that is too lively and a place that is too cold are both troublesome. It is just a matter of which one is more troublesome.

However, Amamiya Ren was not in the mood to care about the band that was suffering on the stage. He skillfully counted the money in his hand twice, divided it into two, and handed one of them to Hachiman Kailing.

"yours."

Amamiya Lian handed the money to Hai Ling, but the other party seemed to have not come back to her senses at this time, so Amamiya Lian gently patted her face with the banknote: "Oh, you are back to your senses."

After being slapped in the face by the cold banknotes, Hachiman Kailing finally came to her senses. She looked at Amamiya Ren in confusion, and noticed that he held a handful of money in each of his hands. Only then did she understand what had happened.

"Oh, sorry."

She was apologizing for being distracted just now, but there was nothing she could do. She was too excited to be on stage just now, and she felt she needed to calm down.

Amamiya Ren put his money into his wallet and couldn't help but sigh that this was the only trouble in Japan. He was used to mobile payment, but now he had to use a wallet to pay again. He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

But at least he could feel the money in his hands, which made him feel much better. This rescue was not cheap, he charged the normal band price, so the two of them split it equally, which was 10,000 yen each.

In this world, 20,000 is considered a small amount to get a famous band to play a song. Amamiya Ren offered this price because he has the ability to do so. The explosion level of him and Hai Ling is far better than that of a band.

"But A-Lian, are you and Hai-Ling really just friends?"

At this time, Rinrinko no longer felt bad about the place. After all, she was just a store manager and not the boss. The boss wouldn't say anything even if she tried her best.
