Girl band, because of the shining heart

Misaki Ozawa just felt that something was very strange, but when she looked at the huge living room in Kokoro Genmaki's house, as well as the furniture and tea sets that looked very expensive, she suddenly didn't think it was strange anymore.

But when she heard that Jiuzhong Qianxiao was Xianjuanxin's friend, she thought, hiss... they are friends, why doesn't Xianjuanxin know anything about the band?

Misaki Ozawa's brain was working so fast that she didn't pay attention to the conversation between the people, otherwise her brain would probably be overworked.

"Oh, by the way, Qianxiao, are you going to come back with me later? We have a new batch of meat on sale at home!"

"Hey? Of course no problem. I'll buy some when I come back next time. We just ran out of meat at home."

As the daughter of the manager of the Kitazawa Butcher Shop on the commercial street, Kitazawa Ikumi has also known Kunou Chisato for a long time, but their relationship is not as good as that of the childhood sweethearts and Yamabuki Saya.

"Wait a minute, weren't we just talking about the band?"

Kanon Matsubara looked at Ikumi Kitazawa who suddenly invited Chisato Kunou to go home with her, and suddenly realized that they were talking about the band just now, but now the topic has suddenly turned into whether they should buy some croquettes on the way back.

"Isn't this good? The leisurely time just passes by like flowing water. It's really like a dream."

Kaoru Seta was also looking at the few people with a smile on her face. No matter what, at least everyone looked happy.

"Yes, it's great to have a happy chat and go home happily together, isn't it?"

Xian Juanxin on the side also nodded. It was nice for everyone to get together and chat happily like this.

“Huh~”

So Matsubara Kanon didn't know what to say again.

However, after chatting for a while, Jiuchong Qianxiao asked another question with a smile.

"Come to think of it, since it's a band, the instruments should be ready, right?"

"Yes, the band's instruments are ready. Do you want us to get them now?"

"Then I'll trouble you."

After finishing the conversation with the man in black without looking back, they saw them taking the instruments needed for the band to the living room.

"By the way, do you know how to play these instruments?"

Jiuzhong Chixiao glanced at them, and everyone except Matsubara Kanon shook their heads.

Misaki Ozawa doesn't care, since her instrument isn't included in the band. She doesn't seem to have considered actually joining the band, but for some reason, she's still in the band.

"That's it."

Chisato Kunou nodded. Except for Kanon Matsubara, no one else could play any musical instrument. It seemed that Genmaki Shin was only responsible for the lead vocals at the moment, so she didn't need an instrument. As for the other two, Ikumi Kitazawa actually used to play a little guitar, but now she has switched to bass, and Kaoru Seta couldn't play at all.

No wonder you don’t even know the band’s performance style.

But it’s okay, let them practice first and then consider things like debut performances.

...Who is responsible for writing the lyrics and composing the music?

Jiuzhong Qianxiao was suddenly stunned again. The most important thing for a band to debut is their own work. Even if the entire band can complete the performance, they still need to have their own work, but...

Who wrote the lyrics and composed the music?

After pondering for a moment, Jiuchong Qianxiao gave up the idea.

It’s too early to talk about writing lyrics and composing music, let’s practice musical instruments first.

"Well, Ikumi and Xun, it's okay for you to call me that, right? Um... you two should take your bass and guitar home and practice well. After that, go find this CiRCLE, book a practice room, and practice there. Of course, both individual practice and practice with the band are important."

“Don’t bring your personal practice into the band practice. You should practice regularly so that your skills can improve. At the same time, the band practice should be used to practice tacit understanding and coordination. After all, the band is not a performance by one person, but a performance completed by everyone cooperating with each other.”

"Well, that's all I have to say for now. Anyway, just practice and see. You can also go watch some performances of other bands. That will be of great help to you."

Completely different from her previous gentle tone, Jiuzhong Qianxiao spoke to them very seriously about these things. After all, if you just play music for fun, then you don’t need to think so much. But since you want to use the band to bring smiles to everyone, you naturally have to take it seriously.

"Well, I will practice hard!"

Looking at the bass in her hand, Kitazawa Ikumi nodded and answered Jiuzhong Chixiao very seriously.

"Ah, when I'm on stage, I naturally want to present the most perfect performance, and also to show my charming moments to the audience. I will naturally practice well, and I will show my fantastic charm."

Although Seta Kaoru's words were still a bit exaggerated and frivolous, there was a serious look in her eyes. She was the only one in the band who had never touched a musical instrument, so it was natural for her to put in more effort.

She thought so seriously.

Jiuzhong Qianxiao withdrew her gaze from the two of them, glanced at Xianjuanxin who was smiling happily, and responded to her with a smile.

Finally, his eyes fell on Matsubara Kanon.

"Matsuhara-san."

"Huh, just call me Hanane."

"Well, Hanane, you are the only drummer in this band who has practiced the instrument for a long time, so I hope you won't feel inferior. You should show your best performance in both practice and performance."

"Uh-huh."

Matsubara Kanon nodded. Although she still had some doubts about her skills, she raised her head and responded to Jiuzhong Chixiao seriously.

When it was time to part, Kitazawa Ikumi received a phone call and left quickly, so Kunou Chisho left alone.

?

He turned around and looked at Ozawa Misaki, who was wearing a hat and following behind him.

"What's up, Ozawa-san?"

"Ah, I've been seen again."

No, it would be better to say that she had no hidden thoughts at all. When she left, she followed him without hesitation, as if she wanted to ask him something.

"So, what do you want from me?"

"Um, I actually want to know why you, the lead singer of the Xingluo band, know Xian Juanxin."

No, what she actually wanted to ask was why he was fooling around with Xian Juanxin, but for some reason, she didn't tell the truth.

Chapter 47: Past and Courage

"Just ask whatever you want to ask, Ozawa-san. You don't need to be so cautious."

There was an inexplicable affinity emanating from Kunou Chisho, which made Ozawa Misaki hesitate for a long time before finally asking, "Ah, I actually want to know why you would accompany Genmaki Kokoro to fool around like this."

Scratching her head in self-abandonment, Ozawa Misaki raised her inner doubts with a subtle expression. In her opinion, someone like Genmaki Shin, who knew nothing about the band and did nothing related to the band, said she was going to be in the band, but in the end it was more like she was having a tea party and chatting.

Why is the lead singer of the real top band Jiuzhong Qianxiao willing to play around with the other party?

Just now, when Haruka and the others said that if they wanted to bring smiles to others on the stage, they should practice well, it didn't seem like they were indulging Haruka without any bottom line.

That's why she wanted to know why the other party was like this.

"I see. Well, this is a long story. Anyway, why don't you come sit in my flower shop for a while?"

Kunou Chisato looked at her in silence for a while. When the evening breeze kissed his face and lifted his long hair, he smiled helplessly and invited Ozawa Misaki to his flower shop for a chat.

After hesitating for a moment, Ozawa Misaki nodded and agreed.

She was really curious why.

The two of them sat in the flower shop. Jiu Zhong Qian Xiao poured her a cup of floral tea and sat opposite her.

"What do you know about my band?"

Jiuchong Qianxiao looked at her and asked a question that seemed a bit strange.

"When we debuted, we were a six-member band, with two guitarists, a bassist, a keyboardist, and a DJ. With you as the lead singer, every performance was sold out since our debut. We soon started to arrange concerts, then went to the Budokan, went to the Tokyo Dome, and finally appeared at the Red and White Songs Festival."

"Really? These things are indeed widely known. Do you know what happened after that?"

"In the second year and the following year, as the lead singer, you gradually began to train another guitarist as the male lead singer and a bassist as the female lead singer. Although the popularity dropped a little at that time, it was followed by an even hotter popularity. It was also at that time that you went from performing in Japan to participating in large-scale music festivals and holding concerts abroad."

"In the third year, you only appeared on stage for about a quarter of the Starfall band's concerts, and you only participated in the entire tour. You only spent half of the time on stage for the rest of the concerts. After the final tour, you announced that you would temporarily stop band activities."

After Ozawa Misaki finished speaking, she suddenly found that Kunou Chisato, who was sitting opposite her, was looking at her with some surprise, as if she expected that she would know this much. At least no one had counted the number of concerts he had performed since the second year when he gave the position of lead singer to someone else.

You, Ozawa Misaki, wouldn't you be...

"Ahem, anyway, I want to know why you are willing to play around with Xian Juanxin."

Ozawa Misaki suddenly blushed, coughed twice, turned her head away, and changed the topic back to the previous question.

"Because the Starfall band actually started out the same as her current band."

"Eh?"

"When Xingluo debuted, it wasn't actually the original six people."

Jiuzhong Qianxiao began to talk about his band.

There were only two people who debuted at the beginning, and they did not use the current name Xingluo. At that time, there was only him and the bassist. At that time, the bassist was actually the female lead singer, but later she lost her voice, so she stopped singing.

But the bassist didn’t actually practice bass at the beginning. Her family made clothes.

The two guitarists are brother and sister, and at the beginning, neither of them had ever played a musical instrument.

The only keyboard player with some basic skills was the loser who had once lost to him in a piano competition.

Dj is a guy who came from Kyoto to study and works in a bar.

The drummer was even a fan of the show up the first time he and the bassist played together.

Can you imagine these people being able to form a band?

Totally unimaginable, right? Ozawa Misaki also couldn't imagine why a few people like this would form a band with Kunou Chisho.

But reality often exceeds her imagination.

They didn't know how to play any musical instruments at all. After they joined, Jiuzhong Qianxiao was the only one who taught them. After a month, they made their debut.

At the first performance, everyone enjoyed the singing on stage, everyone enjoyed the music they played, and everyone enjoyed the cheers from the audience below the stage.

But after that.

Jiuzhong Qianxiao just realized that this band was very strange.

why?

Because he could clearly feel that the other five people were trying hard to follow him, trying to catch up with him.

Maybe it was because of his talent, maybe it was because he was guiding the five of them alone, or maybe it was because he alone could complete tasks such as writing lyrics and composing music.

They all admired him and followed him. The five of them were trying hard to cooperate with him alone. They never cooperated with each other, because the five of them were gathered together because of him. But is such a band really a band?

Jiuzhong Qianxiao didn't think that was what a band should be like.

This is why he is willing to accompany Xian Juanxin now.

"Can you explain it more clearly?"

Misaki Ozawa frowned slightly. She felt that apart from hearing the unknown things about the Starfall Band, she had basically no idea why Kunou Chisato was willing to accompany Genjumaki Kokoro in making trouble.

"Because you guys are a lot like our band used to be."

"us?"

"Well, you are now five people in the band. You would never have any intersection before, but now because of Kokoro, the five of you have gathered together. Whether it's Xun, Ikumi, Kanon, or you, aren't you all accompanying Kokoro?"

"No, no, no, I haven't decided to join this band yet."

Misaki Ozawa quickly shook her head. She didn't want to have anything to do with this troublesome-looking band. And judging from what happened to Kokoro Genmaki's house and the strange man in black, Kokoro Genmaki should just want to cause trouble, right?

I want to make the whole world smile or something...

"If you really don't want to join, just say so and leave. Why do you still want to stay here?"

"That's because..."

"Because you want Kanon, who is still communicable, to leave with you, right?"

"I......"

Ozawa Misaki opened her mouth. This was indeed what she thought, but she didn't understand why Kunou Chisaki knew it.

"Ozawa-san, have you ever thought about why Kanon didn't leave even though she looked like she was being forced?"

"..."
