Shimizu Toru, Yuhi Lily, Rindou Takashi, and Machida Chima stood in front of their respective microphones and put on their headphones.
The dog-and-pig bed finally left her sofa, slowly swaying in and standing in her place, still with a hint of nonchalance.
"Take a deep breath and feel the flow of the melody." Gentian's clear voice came through the internal communication system, carrying a calming power.
"Remember the emotions we want to convey in our song, 3, 2, 1—"
The moment the prelude ended, the clear, bright, and resilient voice of the young man, like the first ray of sunlight at dawn, firmly supported the foundation of the melody.
"The rainbow on the rain is full of flowers and the colors are full of colors."
“Looking up at you, gazing at the crimson sky,” followed by Lily’s gentle and hopeful voice, like a warm morning breeze across the sea.
"あの日爱にfallちた(That day I fell in love)"
Gentian's rich, elegant, and highly penetrating mezzo-soprano voice, like the steady earth, gives her singing a profound depth.
"The dramatic moment"
Chima Machida's sweet yet energetic voice joins in, like a leaping stream.
"フィルムの中のコマも(like a close-up on the screen)"
Finally, Xu Hai's unique voice, with its languid husky texture yet explosive power, joined in, like a thunderclap shattering the silence!
"心えないよ心に开むから (It has been deeply engraved in my heart and will never disappear)"
Five distinct and unique voices, captured by top-notch recording equipment and controlled by Green Fairy's precise mixing console, did not clash with each other. Instead, they meshed, rotated, and resonated perfectly, like precisely calculated gears!
The layers of harmony are so rich they make your scalp tingle, making the main melody even more brilliant, and the emotions, like a long-accumulated flood, burst forth in the chorus!
"Junだよ君なんだよ教えてくれた (It's you, you told me)"
"Dark Lights Starry Night Sky"
The powerful harmonies of Shimizu Toru, Yuuyo Lili, and Longdan Zun filled the entire recording space like a golden torrent, even penetrating the thick soundproof walls and resonating in the control room!
It is a powerful force that transcends the individual, generated by pure musical resonance, with an infectious power that strikes straight to the soul.
On the monitor screen, Green Fairy's expression was one of unprecedented excitement and focus. Her fingers moved quickly and precisely across the mixing console, and her eyes gleamed with an almost fanatical light.
"Sorrowful smiley face (back injury turned into a smiling face no longer needs to be hidden)"
"The stars that shine all over the sky will illuminate your way forward"
Standing in front of the microphone, Shimizu Toru could clearly feel the unreserved trust and support conveyed by the singing of Sunset Lily beside him.
At the climax of the chorus, a cool yet firm hand quietly reached out from the side and gently grasped his slightly trembling hand, which was hanging by his side, in the shadow of the equipment.
That familiar touch was like a subtle electric current, instantly dispelling the last trace of gloom and unease in his heart and infusing him with a warm and reassuring strength.
Shimizu Toru gripped the handle even tighter, and the emotions in her singing became even fuller and more resolute.
The final, breathtaking long note slowly fades away in perfect harmony.
The recording studio was silent, except for the sound of my own still-rapidly beating heart in my headphones.
The four people's eyes met in the air, and they all saw the same shock, excitement and incredible sense of accomplishment in each other's eyes—together they had created a work that had surpassed all previous imaginations!
"Bravo!!" Green Fairy's excited voice came through the headphones, trembling noticeably: "Fantastic! One take! Perfect~ My God! This is the sound of Eute!"
It seemed as if she could be heard excitedly slamming her hand on the table from inside the control room.
"Phew..." Machida Chima let out a long sigh of relief, her face flushed with excitement, her eyes sparkling: "That was amazing! I felt like my soul was being shaken out of my body!"
Gentian-sama elegantly adjusted her non-existent skirt, a satisfied smile curving her lips: "The resonance is outstanding; I haven't had such an exhilarating singing experience in a long time."
As the sun sets, Lily lets go of Shimizu's hand and gives him a bright, encouraging smile, as if to say: See? We did it together.
Xu Hai slowly took off one of his earphones, rubbed his ear, still with that lazy demeanor, but there was a hint of approval in his eyes as he looked at Qing Shui Tou.
"Well, not bad," she mumbled, then opened another can of coffee.
"The results exceeded my expectations! Now I have even more confidence in our group's PV! Toru-kun—don't forget our promise!"
Green Fairy's excited voice rang out again, brimming with mischievous enthusiasm: "Crossdressing! We absolutely have to have it! It's the secret weapon to increase buzz and impact!"
She emphasized the words "secret weapon," her eyes gleaming as she looked intently at Shimizu Toru through the glass, her smile as cunning as a fox.
Shimizu Toru looked at Midori's sparkling eyes in the control room, then glanced at the expectant looks on Yuhi Lily and Machida Chima's eyes beside him. Even Rindan-sama cast an interested glance at him. Only Inu-inoko continued to drink his coffee, seemingly unconcerned.
He could almost picture himself being forced to wear a gorgeous dress and sway gracefully in a PV, a terrifying scene that seemed to appear before his eyes.
A chill ran from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head. The joy of our successful chorus was instantly overshadowed by the enormous shadow of women's clothing.
Shimizu opened her mouth, the words "I refuse" swirling in her throat, but under the increasingly bright gazes of four people, she swallowed them back with difficulty and resignation.
Oh well, it's just in the PV anyway, it's not like it hasn't been fan-made before.

I still owe eight chapters. The book club number is 239541650. Everyone is welcome to join and chat!
Volume 1: Chapter 75 Cohabitation Relationship Exposed
In pursuit of better results, everyone used different processing methods and recorded the videos several times separately.
Anyone who has watched Zhang Jie's recording of "Sleepless Night" knows that the recording of songs nowadays is basically done line by line, slowly polishing them until the most perfect version is found.
After more than an hour, everyone's excitement gradually faded, and their bodies honestly signaled that they were starving.
"Ugh—it was so much fun singing, but it was also really tiring. My stomach is growling."
After stretching out, Chima Machida rubbed her empty belly and turned her gaze to Toru Shimizu, the evil rich man who firmly held the top spot on the SC list and was said to already live in a villa.
To prepare for today's recording, she only attended two classes during her crucial senior year of high school before taking leave to come over. It would be a shame not to treat herself to a big meal.
Noticing her meaningful gaze, Shimizu Toru immediately understood the implication and gave her a thumbs up: "To commemorate our first offline Eutpe gathering, I'll show you all what I can do later."
"As for Chinese food, it's probably too late. Inui-san is already getting sleepy again." Yuhi Lily reminded him, glancing at Inui-ko, who had drunk two cans of coffee but was now yawning again.
"Inui was still live streaming at 2 a.m. last night. She usually streams very late. She's definitely a night owl, or rather, a night dog."
Green Fairy, who also stayed up until 3 a.m. before going to sleep, is now feeling sleepy. It's a pity that the appointment was only for the morning, otherwise she wouldn't have to rush like this.
Hearing her words, the man in bed, whose eyelids were drooping, suddenly snapped awake for a moment: "I'm not a dog!"
Thinking back to the last time he spent almost two hours preparing a meal for the Shaku and the others, Shimizu Toru had no choice but to give up on the idea.
However, they quickly found an alternative: "How about I treat you to hot pot? The non-spicy kind."
"Preparing hot pot is quite troublesome, isn't it?" Longdan Zun, who usually cooks, wasn't surprised that he chose hot pot.
Foods like hot pot and barbecue, which everyone can cook themselves, are undoubtedly the top choice for large gatherings. Even if your cooking skills are poor, the food won't taste too bad.
"It's not troublesome. All you need for the pot is a pot of water, a few pieces of white radish, and a few red dates. The main thing is to eat the meat."
That's right, Shimizu Toru was referring to ChaoX Beef Hot Pot. Although using Wagyu beef instead of yellow beef will result in some differences in taste, it's not a big problem.
Compared to spicy hot pot, which might be too much for some, the former, which focuses on the natural flavor of beef, is clearly more suitable for the discerning palates of the Japanese.
I happened to have bought authentic satay sauce at a Chinese supermarket before, but I haven't found the right time to use it.
As for beef?
I called Liyin and asked her to help me find a barbecue restaurant to deliver ten pounds of the freshest meat to my door. She had already prepared all the cuts of meat for me, so I just had to wait for her to come back and cut them.
The terms "snowflake," "spoon handle," and "three-flower toe" are just different names. If you say "back neck meat," "lower shoulder blade meat," or "beef short shank," people can understand that too.
—And besides tenderloin, ribeye, sirloin, and short ribs, other cuts of meat are even cheaper, because the Japanese eat steak like Europeans and Americans, and at most they add beef tongue when grilling meat.
When Green Fairy saw the clear, three-story villa, she had the same reaction as Shezhu: "Isn't it a waste for you to live in such a big place all by yourself?"
When Longdan Zun saw Xiyang Lili, he naturally took out new slippers from the shoe rack and placed them in front of the entrance door.
Suddenly, everything became clear: "Tou-kun? You and Lily aren't living together, are you?"
"Eh!? Lily, Lily-san and Yuzuru-san, are they lovers??" Machida Chima's eyes widened in surprise at the shocking revelation.
The dog-headed man, who had been drowsy and nodding off, suddenly perked up: "Living together?! Who's with whom?!"
Just then, Rion Takamiya came out of the kitchen: "Toru, the beef has arrived. Do you want me to help you prepare it?"
"Wait, wait a minute!? Rion, what are you doing here too??" Ryudan-zun looked at her with disbelief.
As for Lily in the Sunset, well, apart from recording a song together today, we haven't really interacted much, so we can't really say we're close.
But Kim Hanhan and she were in the same cohort! Although they didn't debut on the same day, they were both second-generation members of SEEDs.
Among the three batches of SEEDs second generation students, she was closest to Rion Takamiya and Tobiru, and they had gone drinking together offline more than once or twice.
"Hiss~ Has the atmosphere in Japan deteriorated to this extent?" Green Fairy said she didn't understand, but I was greatly shocked.
"Perhaps they're not actually in that kind of relationship? Maybe they're just living together temporarily?"
As soon as Machida Chima finished speaking, Yuhi Lily, who was standing next to him, smiled and took Shimizu Toru's arm, kissing him on the cheek: "Sorry~ we're in that kind of relationship~"
"Oysters, oysters, oysters—I can't accept this! This can't be real!!"
Gentian covered his face with his hands, trying to escape reality: "I must still be dreaming, ha, ha..."
"It seems you've been quite shocked, I'll let you in on a little secret~"
Lily, bathed in the setting sun, leaned close to her ear and began to whisper devilishly, "It was Rion and I who took the initiative and slept with Tohru~ We did it all night long~"
The Dragon Gentian, who was in a state of collapse just a second ago, suddenly raised his head: "Red bean paste? Is it really that amazing!?"
As expected of the DT assassin who always manages to manipulate Ange during their collaborations, my attention was immediately diverted.
"...Isn't this a bit of a misplaced focus? Never mind, since you all know, I'll go prepare the beef. There are drinks in the fridge, help yourself to whatever you want."
Feeling that the fire was about to spread to her if she stayed there, Shimizu Toru quickly said something and went into the kitchen.
Watching his fleeing figure and the expressions of the remaining four waiting to see what would happen, Rion Takamiya and Riri Yuhi exchanged a glance and decided to confess.
From how the two of them first met and were immediately attracted to Shimizu Toru's face, all the way to their confused reverse deduction on the second day of living together.
"Wow~ You guys are so bold, and you can actually get along so well? This is like a scene from a harem light novel!"
Hearing Machida Chima's words, Yuhi Lily deliberately sighed: "ε=('ο`*))) Sigh, who told that girl to be so useless? Without my help, she would have been bullied to death by Toru."
Rion Takamiya's pretty face immediately turned bright red: "I, I've already tried my best, okay?"
"Is it really that powerful?" Longdan Zun suddenly became interested.
"Of course it's true! Let me tell you, one use is enough to finish a whole box of Okamoto 001!"
"What is Okamoto 001?" Chima Machida blinked and asked with a curious look.
"Sweetie~ Kids shouldn't listen to that. Go get a drink from the fridge first."
After getting rid of the only minor present, Green Fairy also came over with a gossipy look on her face: "Tell me in detail, just how amazing is Yuzuru!"
"I secretly measured it while he was sleeping, and it's 18cm long! The diameter is even thicker than an egg."
"Ugh—that's not pleasant, oh no, it hurts like hell!"
-------------------------
The last chapter included over a hundred words of lyrics, but this chapter has two hundred more words, so it makes up for it.
Volume 1: Chapter 76 If you're tired from playing, you can just go to sleep, it's okay.
About ten minutes later, Shimizu Toru brought out a large iron plate and took out all the cut meat in one go.
Since I hadn't prepared a professional electric hot pot beforehand, I had to temporarily use a large stainless steel basin, which I placed on the induction cooker instead.
Add a 2L bottle of mineral water, along with white radish, red dates, and goji berries. I was supposed to add some beef balls and offal as well, but there's obviously no time to do that today.
After the water boils, first put the brisket in, which is the fat inside the brisket. Unlike other parts that need to be cooked for a few seconds or they will become tough, the brisket becomes crisper the longer it is cooked.
Moreover, it can also add oil to the broth, just like the lamb tail fat added first when eating hot pot in northern China.
"Wow~ This meat is cut so beautifully!" Green Fairy immediately went to the table and couldn't help but exclaim when she saw the clearly defined marbling of the beef on the plate.
"Compared to professionals, it's still quite a bit inferior, and the meat isn't fresh enough. I'll treat you to an authentic one sometime."
Although the cow was slaughtered today, it has been more than twelve hours, so the taste will definitely be slightly worse.
The beef hot pot restaurants in Chaozhou are all located next to slaughterhouses. The meat is still jumping when it is delivered to the restaurant. If you still think it is not fresh enough, you can only hug the cow and eat it.
The only dipping sauces were satay sauce, fried garlic, and scallion oil. They were worried that the girls couldn't handle the spice, so they didn't even add chili sauce.
Originally, fried tofu skin rolls were an essential item, but I couldn't find anywhere to buy them.
