Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 467 Welcome back
"This old fox Zhou Fang has kept his 'coming to earth' so secretive that he didn't even dare to attend the award ceremony. Is it because the contract is too short, or is it not 'exclusive' enough?"

"If that's the case, is it worth investigating using 'unnatural' means?"

Sitting in the guest seat, Johnny Matsudaira glanced at Suo in the distance, who looked calm, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Others may not know, but he knows very well that the Burning Department has taken the highest level of strict defense against the identity information of those who "come to the mortal world".

The entertainment industry has always had a competitive method of "buy it if you can't beat it", but during this period, despite all the means used by J, A, and S, such as commercial espionage, headhunting companies, and music department surveillance, they were unable to pry out the detailed identity information of the musicians from Bethesda...

The only gain was the vague confession from several former employees that "I heard from colleagues in the music department that he was a young and handsome guy."

Therefore, after careful consideration, Matsudaira felt that Bethesda's decision not to allow the "descendant" to receive the award in person this time was both an unexpected and reasonable decision.

"Everyone, although Mr. Xiafan cannot be here to receive the award, he has specially commissioned Ms. Hoshina Hanami, together with a mysterious guest, to bring us a brand new single that he wrote and composed, and it will be the world's first live performance before the studio version!"

"Well, next, let's welcome the original singer of 'Sakura', the new singer Hoshina Hanami-san..."

As the discussion in the room died down a bit, the host took the opportunity to regain the rhythm, lengthened his tone, and announced a shocking news.

"What? I thought Hoshina Hanami was going to sing the award-winning song 'Sakura', but it turns out he's going to sing a new song from the mortal realm?"

"There's a secret guest, so are we still going to sing a duet?"

The whole audience began to look for Hoshina Hanami in the guest seats...

The public and media initially had only superficial labels for this young female singer, such as "a lucky idol" and "became famous thanks to the song "Sakura"...

But later, with an extremely dedicated and hardworking spirit, she followed the "Sakura Front" and sang in almost the entire 11th District. Whether it was her singing skills, stage presence, or fan base, she had made great progress...

Looking back, Ming Yan Hanami has quietly taken up the banner of Be company's new female singer.

"Who sings is not the point, the point is, there is a new song coming out!!!"

"Half a year, and four songs in. If this one is also a hit, I can be deified right away if I come down to earth!"

"You gave the new song to Hoshina Hanami again. Isn't this too obvious favoritism?"

But what the audience was looking forward to even more was that the "monster musician" who did not show up at the event came down to earth and actually asked Hoshina Hanami to bring an original new song.

The first three songs of Xia Fan are all impeccable phenomenal works, but they also follow the song release model of the entertainment industry: pre-promotion, original lossless version online, and live performance...

But this time, without any media publicity or public opinion warm-up, he actually authorized Hoshina Hanami to debut his new song in a live performance on this open-air stage without professional equipment...

This bold and counterintuitive way of releasing a song is enough to prove that Xia Fan has absolute confidence in the quality of this song and the effect of its live performance.

Although I have never seen the person who came down to earth, his unparalleled genius has been conveyed through this behavior.

"Where is Hoshina Hanamito?"

"Could it be that he went to the toilet and hasn't come back yet?"

"It seems that I haven't taken any photos of her since the award ceremony began. Could it be that she didn't even come?"

But the media used their cameras to film around, but they didn't see Hoshina Hanami, who was supposed to stand up from the guest seats and walk onto the stage...

"At a time like this, where on earth is Hoshina Hanami?"

……

"Xia Fan..."

On the endless white sand beach, the girl squatted quietly on the ground, letting the white waves wash over her feet.

"This name...can't be forgotten..."

The slender fingers stubbornly and repeatedly wrote a name between the ebb and flow of the tide.

"Hanami... wake up..."

"You're the first place winner of the Tokyo Newcomer Music Awards, and we're waiting for you to come up on stage and receive your award."

The man's familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded beside his ears.

"Xia Fan..."

The boy's eyes, as bright as stars, were reflected in the sea in front of her. "Listen, he's calling your name already..."

"Don't sleep in...you still need to sing with me..."

"Remember, we made a promise!"

The boy's urging voice seemed as close to my ear as could be; I could even vaguely feel his hot breath.

"Go on stage... receive the award... sing in chorus..."

"I made a pinky promise with Xia Fan..."

The girl changed her posture for the first time and stood up slowly.

"But...how can I...leave..."

Looking around blankly, there was only the endless sea.

"Hanami..."

Turning around, she saw a bone mirror as tall as a person standing behind her without her noticing.

"I'll send you away."

In the mirror, the girl's reflection smiled, reached out and held her.

"After you get out, don't forget that we made a contract to become better Hoshina Hanami."

"You don't need me to do it for you now, and it will be fine."

At the same time, a layer of fluorescence lit up on the surface of the mirror, sucking the girl in.

"Although it was only a short time...but being a Hoshina Hanami...was pretty good..."

"The memories that should have belonged to you... are all returned to you..."

During this period, the experience of "Hoshiname Hanami" flashed across the mirror like a revolving lantern...

"Where am I..."

The world in front of her eyes shattered like a mirror, and Hoshina Hanami found herself running quickly in a dim corridor.

"Xia Jun?"

The person holding her hand and running in front of her was Xia Fan, who was wearing gorgeous stage costumes and whose makeup and hair were soaked with sweat.

"Hanami... Welcome back..."

Hearing Hoshina Hanami's voice, Xia Fan turned around in ecstasy and smiled at her gently.

"Everyone, just now, maybe the applause was not enthusiastic enough, so Miss Xingming didn't hear it..."

"So, next, let's give a warm round of applause to Miss Hoshina Hanami, who won the first place in the Tokyo Newcomer Music Awards!"

From the end of the passage ahead came the host's powerful voice.

Then there was thunderous applause.

"Did you hear that? The host and the audience are waiting for you..."

"We agreed to sing "Fireworks" together on stage, and now is the time!"

Pulling Xing Ming Hanajian all the way to the end of the passage, Xia Fan raised his hand to lift the curtain at the end of the passage and rushed out...

"Is this the stage where fireworks are set off?"

The moment Xia Fan took her out of the passage, the dazzling lights, the wide stage, and the ocean-like audience suddenly appeared in her sight, lighting up Hoshina Hanami's eyes.
