When I’m in a music show, I just want to make music seriously!

Seeing that both of them nodded, she hesitated for a while before saying:

"Actually, I've been following Mr. Zhilu Jinqu since he started posting videos. Back then, he didn't have any fans, and no one watched his videos. But I could tell by the wounds on his hands, the guitar he'd used for years, and the music that seemed filled with countless emotions. When I first saw it, I wondered how such an amazing person could exist in this world, with such amazing skills and talent. Those hardworking but ordinary people will never be able to catch up to Mr. Zhilu Jinqu in their entire lives."

Ijichi Kouka's voice was sincere, as if she was narrating something from the past. Although Yamada Ryo and Goto Ichiri didn't understand why she suddenly mentioned this famous music video blogger, they still chose to listen carefully.

Ichichi Hongxia continued:

"At that time, I kept thinking that it would be great if I had his talent. If I could be so good, maybe I could become a big shot in the future, and I wouldn't have to worry about the band not becoming popular, and I wouldn't have to worry about not being able to play these songs well."

"But as I watched each of his videos and noticed the changes in him, the marks left on his body by his hard work, I realized that, in fact, he must have put in a lot of effort in places that others couldn't see, and he just showed us his best side."

Having said that, Ijichi Hongxia looked at Goto Ichiri sincerely, her voice as gentle as an angel:

"So, Pochi-chan, don't say you're useless or anything like that. Whether it's Pochi-chan's skills or the effort you've put into playing almost every pop song over the past few years, it all requires dedication and persistence. Although I don't know what happened to Pochi-chan in the past, when she played just now, I knew she must have put in a lot of sweat and effort for all of this."

Ijichi Hongka touched the five fingers of both hands together:

"So, what I want to say is that even very talented people, even those I consider very talented, must have put in a lot of effort and sweat in places we can't see. This is not something to be ashamed of. On the contrary, it is something to be proud of, and it is worth confidently saying, 'I work hard.'"

"Look, just like another music blogger I particularly follow, 'Guitar Hero'. She's similar to Pochi-chan, playing a lot of pop songs, many of which are songs from her golden teacher. When I used to watch her, I used to envy her talent, but when I think about it, maybe they actually work much harder than I do."

Ijichi Hongxia made a big circle in the air with her hands, encouraging Goto Ichiri in her own way.

When she first met Taku Sakagami, just as she said, she envied him, envied his talent, envied his ability, envied his independence, but as she got to know Taku Sakagami more and more, she realized that he had actually been carrying a lot of things.

Ijichi Hongxia doesn't think that Goto Ichiri is useless, and she sincerely hopes that she won't belittle herself.

It is a remarkable thing to have such great guitar skills.

Everyone has their own story, and we should have confidence in ourselves.

After hearing what Ijichi Kouka said, Goto Ichiri's heart suddenly trembled.

Guitar Hero...

That was her account. I didn't expect that Ichichi Hongxia was also following it.

She remembered that Takuya Sakagami had said something similar. During lunch that day, he also told her not to belittle herself.

She had previously avoided this matter because she was shy.

She thought it was just a coincidence at the time, or perhaps it was simply because Taku Sakagami was very gentle that he was able to notice these things.

But now, Goto Ichiri realized that the people in the real world were not what she thought.

People are not always immersed in their own world and are completely uninterested in people like her.

There are really people who can discover her shining points, and there are really people who can identify with her.

Noticing Goto Ichiri's gaze, Ijichi Nijika said sincerely, "Even if today's failure is the case, it's too early for Pochi-chan to say she's giving up on forming a band. Besides, it's not necessarily Pochi-chan's fault. Maybe it's just me and Ryo who's not compatible with you, right?"

At this moment, Ijichi Hongka's face seemed to overlap with the figure of Sakagami Taku that noon.

It seems... Hongxia and Taku's gentleness really seems...

These words from Ijichi Hongka finally broke through the fear in Goto Ichiri's heart, and she tried hard to support herself and stood up.

Thinking back to how I met Sakagami Taku, and now what Ijichi Kouka has said to me.

Along the way, Goto Ichiri realized that she had actually met some very nice people.

If she didn't muster up the courage today, even if the Lord God arranged the best teammates for her, she wouldn't be able to cherish them.

No, I have to stay here. Such a miracle will never happen again, and no one will be willing to talk to me and invite me so actively. I can't miss it, otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life!

The band that Tuo invited her to join happened to be the same band that was invited today. This kind of thing seemed like an opportunity arranged for her by God!

Thinking of this, Goto Ichiri slowly stood up, her hands tugging at the corner of her clothes, wanting to speak.

However, I found that I could not overcome my fear of performing on stage.

Noticing her actions, Ijichi Hongxia was a little surprised: "Pochi-chan?"

Is it possible that he is going to perform on stage?!

"I'm still so scared. I don't dare to face the audience..." Goto Ichiri made a small cry for help.

An idea suddenly struck Yamada Ryo, and she pulled out a huge, empty mango box. "If you're scared, how about hiding inside this and going on stage?"

Seeing this, Goto Ichiri's eyes showed some anticipation. Then she tried to get in and found that it was exactly the same as her own little house at home!

Seeing her so happy, it felt like she was back home, and Ijichi Hongxia suddenly felt a little ashamed.

By the way, where does Pochi usually practice playing the guitar?

However, after Ijichi Hongka said these things, the atmosphere obviously eased a lot. After telling Goto Ichiri the name of the band, Goto Ichiri finally overcame his fear by leaning against a cardboard box and prepared to go on stage to perform.

Before the performance, Ijichi Nijika said to Goto Ichiri, "Well, even if the performance was terrible, as long as Pochi-chan enjoyed playing, that's enough. Music can convey emotions very well. I just need to improve next time."

Hearing these encouraging words, Goto Ichiri's face showed obvious happiness, and his cheeks were slightly flushed.

And next time...

Even she was looking forward to it.

Not long after, Taku Sakagami, who was sitting in the audience waiting for the performance with nothing to do, looked at the mango box that was moved onto the stage and almost crushed the free drink in his hand.

What the hell is this! ?

Hongxia, after chatting for so long, did you just encourage this mango to go on stage?!

51. Money is not important, passion is the most important thing (5k words)

There's no doubt the show was a mess.

Let's not talk about the strange mango box on the stage. There was no lead singer and the members hardly cooperated with Lian Diao. They were not people like Taku Sakagami who relied entirely on talent. It was obvious that the performance could not be very good. Goto Ichiri even made several mistakes due to nervousness. Occasionally, the rhythm was too fast or too slow, which triggered a chain reaction, forcing Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Nikka to keep up with her rhythm to prevent problems.

To be honest, Sakagami Taku felt that with the cost of this performance, it would be better for Ijichi Hongka to treat him to a meal. At least he wouldn't have to see a mango box playing the guitar on stage.

Moreover, Hongxia's drumming skills improved slower than he had expected.

He was a little worried about the future of the band.

Taku Sakagami suddenly felt that he might not be able to give Hongxia a piece of music that was too difficult to play for the time being. Hongxia and the others obviously needed more practice in technique and coordination with the band.

And he may also have to change his strategy.

I originally wanted to create a high-quality, high-tech beautiful girl band, but now it seems that we should go with the cute idol style.

He felt it necessary to go back and remove the song he had prepared and replace it with "Love Cycle".

In his mind, Taku Sakagami tried to imagine the scene of Nikka Ijichi acting cute and singing "Love Cycle".

Yes! Definitely possible!

Just thinking about it makes me want to throw money in!

Who says you need technical skills to be in a band?

My face is so cute that it will kill you otakus!

After the performance, Taku Sakagami did not go backstage. He spent time with his three bandmates.

However, to Sakagami Taku's surprise, Goto Ichiri left from the backstage not long after.

The other party quietly chose a less populated road in an attempt to leave without being discovered by anyone.

However, he eventually met Sakagami Taku's eyes.

Goto Ichiri was shocked and then ran away quickly.

Sakagami Taku was a little speechless and sent her a message on his phone: "Why are you leaving so quickly? Also, how about the band? After all, I was the one who invited you. If it's not suitable, there's no need to force yourself."

Unexpectedly, the other party replied immediately: "Thank you, I will work hard, please take care of me in the future!"

Then there was an emoticon of someone kneeling down and kowtowing.

Sakagami Taku: ???

No, why do you act like you're marrying me?

However, because he had a general understanding of Goto Ichiri's emotions, Sakagami Taku knew that she was probably willing to stay in Hongxia's band. This was a good result for Sakagami Taku. He replied, "Well, you can tell me if you have any questions. Be careful on your way back. Send me a message when you get home."

"Roger that!"

After finishing the conversation, Sakagami Taku walked backstage. Yamada Ryo had fallen asleep while standing because she was too tired from performing on stage. Sakagami Taku waved in front of her, but found that she couldn't wake up at all.

He finally looked at Ichichi Hongxia: "Do you have time today? I want to talk to you about something."

"Huh?" Ijichi Hongxia was subconsciously confused at first, but after seeing Sakagami Taku's serious expression, she asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"band."

-------------------------------

A few hours later, in Ijichi Hongka's house, Sakagami Taku finished his shower and came to the familiar house. He skillfully made himself a cup of coffee and then took a sip.

It turns out that only at Hongxia's house can one enjoy real life.

He felt helpless when he thought about the smoke billowing everywhere in his shabby little house when he cooked, as if there was a war going on.

Hong Xia had also finished washing up at this moment. She was wearing pajamas and sitting barefoot on the bed, looking at Sakagami Taku with some curiosity: "What is Taku going to say?"

As for Sakagami Taku's skillful movements that made him feel like he was back home, she was already used to it.

Well, there's no problem with making this place his second home.

Sakagami Taku sat in her chair and first explained what had happened with CRYCHIC recently:

"...In short, the band is currently disbanded. I previously quit a part-time job and have no plans to return to work for the time being."

"Will life be difficult?"

"Not really. During this period, I'll post a couple more songs on my account. At the very least, I'll sell some usage rights. I've been getting private messages lately asking for usage rights."

"That's right, so does Taku have any other plans?"

"Ah."

Sakagami Taku looked at Ijichi Nijika and asked seriously, "Nijika, does your band need an arranger or lyrics?"

"Ugh?"

When this was mentioned, Ijichi Hongxia said it almost without thinking: "Of course it is necessary. Although Liang is currently in charge of these, there are still too many things left to her..."

At this point, Ijichi Hongxia was stunned, listening to the meaning of Sakagami Taku's words...

She looked at Sakagami Taku, her eyes filled with uncontrollable anticipation: "Could it be that Taku wants to arrange the music and write the lyrics for me?"

Sakagami Taku nodded and said seriously, "Well, if you need me, I can arrange music and write lyrics for you. If Pochi joins your band, the performers will be complete. Although there's no lead singer, it's still possible to just play music with a little ensemble. After all, since I introduced her to you, I still have to take some responsibility for her."

Hearing Sakagami Taku's words, Ijichi Nijika's eyes sparkled.

Of course, having Taku Sakagami join her band was something she had always hoped for.

It's not just because their band is currently lacking a professional arranger and lyricist, but also because Sakagami Taku's strength is undeniably strong!

When Sakagami Taku just said these words, Ijichi Hongka felt her heartbeat quicken, and countless joy filled her heart.

However, soon these excited emotions gradually subsided because of reality.

She hesitated and said, "But, if so, will Taku's work experience be affected..."

When asked about this, Sakagami Taku explained, "If it's just arranging the music and writing the lyrics, I can still do it, and I don't need to attend your band's rehearsals.

In this case, even if you have a scheduled performance and you lose money, the performance fees will still be paid by the three of you. After all, I have never been on stage, so I don't need to bear this part of the cost."

As childhood sweethearts, Sakagami Taku has nothing to hide from Nijigasaki.

It was a fact that he was in debt and short of money. There was no need to lie to Hong Xia and say that he had other purposes.

Sakagami Taku continued, "I want to give it a try. If your band is successful, I can make some money and it can help alleviate my current situation."

Ichichi Hongxia thought about it and decided it was indeed feasible. However, she soon thought of something more important: "Wouldn't it be a bit of a waste if we played those music scores that Taku had provided?"

Although she was very willing for Taku Sakagami to join and provide music scores, when the time came to actually implement it, Ijichi Nijika still felt that with their current strength, they might not be able to bring out the best of Taku Sakagami's songs.
