Joker's Band Game Story

The naughty little rabbit, the cute little brown bear, the chubby big raccoon, and the smiling white mouse, they all danced around Amamiya Ren, as if they were indulging themselves and not letting themselves be so sad.

'Get used to taking steps in the sick city. (Da Da Da). Don't care whether you cry or laugh at what others think. (Mmmmm.)'

'Let it go, the righteous superman is just a burden. (Tap tap tap.) Open your heart and let your 3 to 6 syllable confession ring out. No, no, no, please make your own decision.'

The end of the first half brought this short chorus to an end. Mu, who was listening to the performance, didn’t even notice that a tear fell from the corner of his eye.

She just stared blankly at Amamiya Ren and the closing band that was playing there.

She saw happiness and joy on those girls’ faces. Is this a real band?

They are so happy, they are so joyful, have they let go of their burdens and no longer care about what others think?

Can I... do the same as them?

'Even if you are full of anger, you can never win over soft-heartedness and weakness.'

'I hope that my father will only exist in this game. (Save this game Mr. A)'

'The only thing that's real in me is the me that's trying my best to perform.'

Hongxia was playing the drums excitedly. She had gradually become familiar with the song and had the leisure to look at other teammates. She saw Liang playing the bass towards her and seemed to have noticed her gaze.

She also saw Pochi-chan playing the guitar with her head down, and she still couldn't let go.

She also saw Kita playing the guitar with a confused look on her face. As a rhythm guitarist, she couldn't keep up with the rhythm and was still not very skilled, so she made a lot of mistakes.

Finally, she saw Mu sitting there with his hands on his chest, staring blankly at Amamiya Ren who was singing with her chest and head held high. His gaze was like that of the most devout believer in worship.

What did she hear in this song?

'I tried to take a step forward, and the unpleasant memories came flooding back, playing the opening music of hell, no no no.'

'Try to take another step, and the unpleasant memories will come flooding in. Open your heart and let your 3 to 6 syllables of confession resound. At the fork in the road, you must also break out of it according to your own ideas. 'The plan I gave you is an explanation of selfishness.' Come on, play the notes of Hakuna Matata! '

(Hakuna Matata is a Swahili proverb meaning "no worries, no worries.")

The words that sounded like the high-speed divine language came out so clearly in Amamiya Lian's mouth. He must have practiced speaking this part quickly many times.

Hongxia couldn't help but think, her eyes turned to the only customer Mu again, and she noticed that Mu was already crying.

Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. She must have been moved by the song.

Brother Lian is really amazing, this song is so powerful.

As Pochi-chan lowered her head and played the song, she couldn't help but think that this was not the first time she had tried to play this song, but every time she played it she was deeply impressed by Amamiya Ren's ability.

The first time she heard him play this song, she could sense some commonality in his voice. A good song can evoke empathy, and she also thought of some bad things.

She secretly looked up at Mu, whose face was already covered in tears, and couldn't help wondering if she had the same worries as herself.

Don't let yourself take a new step.

'No, no, no, it's my turn to make the decision. I'll try my best to dance. I'll try my best to dance. (Dance for a day).'

'Dance as hard as you can, dance as hard as you can. (Louder!)'

The lyrics of the second time are exactly the same as the first time, but the feeling it gives people is completely different from before.

If before it was others who advised you, this time it is your own affirmation of yourself.

Believe that you can indeed resist this kindness that has hurt yourself.

It is wrong to always think about helping others and to work hard for others even when you are distressed. The protagonist in the song seems to have figured it out, but what about Mu?

'Get used to walking in the sick city. (Bang Bang Bang). Don't care, cry or laugh at what others think. (Ding Ding Ding.)'

'Let it go, the righteous superman is just a burden. (Hehe.) Open your heart and let your 3 to 6 syllables flow. No, no, no, please make your own decision. (Okay, I'm happy to serve you! I'm willing to be at your service at any time! As long as I can do it, I will do as much as I can. Yes, I know! I'm willing to be at your service at any time!)'

'Open your heart and let your 3 to 6 syllable confession ring out. No, no, no, no, please leave me alive.'

With the end of the harmony and the fall of Amamiya Ren's voice, the song came to an abrupt end. The song was over. Amamiya Ren looked at Mu crying silently at this time. He picked up the tissue on the table and gently wiped her tears.

"Someone once said to me, 'Even if you did find a way to make your life better in this difficult world by suppressing your ego, I'm sure you'd be living a life that made you unhappy. If you're doing something and you think, 'That's not like me,' you're probably right. That's what you hate.'"

He wiped Mu's face, which was very soft and tender. She was sixteen years old and in her prime, but Amamiya Ren did not see any spiritedness on her face.

She seemed to always be living for others rather than for herself.

"'I think the first step to treating yourself well is to create a small space for yourself to indulge yourself, because it is really not difficult to do. I still hope that when you extend your 'my own space', you can frankly say 'I am so happy now' and be proud of it.' Let's keep our hearts beating as hard as we can and continue to live our lives up and down."

Syllables 3 to 6 refer to the heartbeat, and the meaning is 'seek help for your mental state while you are still healthy'.

This song is dedicated to all the people in the world who are living in pain.

There are some other small details in the song, such as "No, no, no, please leave me alive." There are only drum sounds in the lyrics, and the sound of Hongxia's drumming is exactly "SOS" according to Morse code. In the first verse of SOS, Amamiya Ren deliberately made Hongxia stop playing at the last sound, turning SOS into SOI, as if to say that the request for help failed, and also as if to say "I (myself)".

All kinds of small details made the band gradually get used to this song like an obsessive-compulsive disorder, but for Mu, she was stunned when she heard this song for the first time.

Tears kept flowing from her eyes, and Amamiya Ren was wiping her eyes considerately, waiting for her to cry out what was in her heart.

He had always seen that Mu was a very dull girl, but he had no idea why she was dull.

Perhaps we can see something now. At least for Mu, the fact that she made such a big noise when she heard this song means that she is the audience of this song, and her heart really needs to vent sometimes.

"Sorry... I, I can't stop..."

Mu couldn't help but say that the power of the song was still too great, and the feeling made her unable to recover at all. Amamiya Ren didn't urge her, but just rubbed her head silently and wiped her face with tissues.

Others could also see that Xiao Mu seemed like a girl with something on her mind, so they didn't say anything and just watched the scene.

Amemiya Ren's singing voice is so amazing that hearing such a song live will inevitably stir people's emotions, so she couldn't help crying here.

"We're back... Hey, Lian, why did you make the little girl cry again?"

Xingge walked in with two bags and a lollipop in her mouth. She saw Yu Gong Lian comforting Mu who had stopped crying.

Although she stopped crying, her eyes were red from crying and you could see clearly that she had suffered a lot of injustice.

"It was just a song, and it brought back memories...Mu is here to look for your Xiangzi."

Amamiya Ren continued to comfort Mu, but he raised his head and looked at Xiangzi who was following Xingge with a bag in his hand.

Xiangzi looked up after hearing what Amamiya Ren said. When she saw Mu sitting there, her eyes widened slightly: "Mu...what's wrong with you?"

"Well, no one expected it. She just reacted so strongly after singing 'At Your Service'. But it shouldn't be a big deal, don't worry."

Hongxia tried to smooth things over at this time by laughing it off. She was worried that Xiangzi would be angry because he thought Amamiya Ren had made his good friend cry, so she quickly signaled that it was not the case.

But it was difficult for Xiangzi to say anything to Mu at this time. She had originally called Mu today to talk about Shuangshi’s affairs, but Mu’s current state... there was no way to talk.

Let's wait until she calms down first.

Or wait until later. Now, looking at Amamiya Ren standing there, she was even more reluctant to talk about these things.

She was very reluctant to tell Amamiya Ren more about her own affairs. She was also a girl with self-esteem. She... hated having to rely on others for help in everything. Amamiya Ren had already helped her a lot, so she didn't want him to know about other things.

(PS: There is no need to say much about the song "Happy to Serve". It is the second most popular Japanese song in 2024. Friends who pay more attention to Japanese songs have basically heard this song. After all, it is really good. It seems to have been popular for a while before, and the Encyclopedia of Stalks also mentioned it specifically.)

Chapter 63 This Masked Girl... Looks Familiar

It was almost time, and Xiangzi had to be busy selling tickets again. She sat alone at the ticket office, looking at Amamiya Ren who was sitting next to Mu not far away.

The members of the band were discussing the lyrics at this time. After a day of hard work, Pochi-chan successfully wrote the lyrics, and the lyrics were successfully praised by everyone, indicating that this song is a song with soul.

"Don't worry, I will write a song that matches the lyrics. I already have the inspiration in my mind."

"So... I did a good job?"

"Yes, you did a great job."

“Hehehe.” “Mmmmm.” “Hehehe.” “Mmmmm.”

Kita watched as Ryo and Pochi seemed to have entered into a strange brainwave state, and even connected with each other. She was very unwilling to accept the situation and was making a fuss beside them: "Ahhh! When did you two become so close? Ryo-senpai!"

Compared to the noise from the ending band, Amamiya Ren sat next to Mu and stayed with her until her emotions gradually calmed down.

"I go first."

Mu glanced at the time, and when she found out that Xiangzi didn't want to chat today, she decided to say goodbye.

"Don't you want to stay a little longer? You can watch the live show later."

"No, I have to go back to class."

Mu said this calmly, but it made Amamiya Ren sigh.

There is no doubt that this kind of class is definitely not what Mu likes, but she has to take it.

"Well, I won't advise you any more. I just hope you can continue to play the guitar well."

"how do you know……"

"There are traces on your hands, those are the traces of your love for guitar. If you can't rebel against your parents, then just indulge yourself a little. As long as you still love music, you have a future."

Yu Gong's words made Mu lower his head in silence for a moment, and then he slowly responded: "Thank you."

"By the way, are you interested in joining my band?"

"band?"

Mu felt a little strange about Amemiya's words. She didn't expect Amemiya Ren to have such a plan.

"Oh, don't worry, it's just for fun. Come and play when you have time, forget it if you don't. Do you want to play with me? I think since you have been playing guitar for so long, you can't just give it up."

It has been a long time since that incident, and the roughness on the fingertips of Mu's left hand is enough to prove her efforts during this period.

Only a little girl who works hard to play the guitar every day would have fingers like that. It was precisely because of her love for the guitar that Amamiya Ren made the suggestion.

Since she can be moved by the song, if we play it together... at least she can be happier, right?

"…Please allow me to think about it."

"Ah, never mind, we'll talk later. By the way, you don't have any contact information yet, right? Do you want to add it?"

"……it is good."

Mu and Amamiya Ren exchanged contact information. After completing the Six Spirits (Three) task, she left.

Xiangzi didn't hear what Mu and Amemiya were talking about, not only because they were far away, but more importantly, the closing band next to them was even louder, and she couldn't hear what Mu and Amemiya Ren were saying.

When Mu left Fanxing and stood at the ticket window, Xiangzi said to Mu, "Wait until the weekend, I'll talk to you on the weekend. I'm a little busy at work here, so you've made a wasted trip today."

"It's ok."

Xiao Mu shook her head slightly. She didn’t feel that her trip today was in vain.

Not only because it was Xiangzi's request, but more importantly...

She heard a great song.

If I play in a band with Amamiya Ren...will my guitar skills improve?

Mu couldn't help but think.

One thing she always had was that she couldn't make her guitar sing.

Her guitar friend is a friend she cherishes very much, and she also hopes that her guitar friend can be happy and sing happily.

In some ways, she might have something in common with Pochi...

She watched the band play today, and she could tell that their instruments were singing.

She wanted it too.

If I could play in a band with Amamiya Ren, and let my guitar sing, I would be so happy...

She wanted to try it.

"Have you written the lyrics yet? That's great."

At this time in RiNG, Shiina Riki got the newly written lyrics by Takamatsu Deng, and she immediately picked up the notebook and looked at it quickly.

Yesterday, after Deng and Aine said they would participate in the live performance, she finally felt completely relieved. Now that she saw the lyrics, she felt completely at ease.

"So if I were to compose music..."

"I told you, I'll come."

Hearing Shuangshi's question, Lixi interrupted her and directly stated that he could write a wonderful song.

She must write a song that matches the lyrics. Only in this way can she see the scene she wants to see in the live performance again.

The lights can sing loudly on the stage.
