People are in animation, but they can connect to reality

The group stood up and prepared to leave. Asagi estimated the time. By the time they were ready and headed to the live venue, it would be almost 6 o'clock. But there was plenty of time. Last time, Asagi had found waiting boring. Unlike the others, he didn't need to go on stage, so he was very nervous.

Before the others left, Asagi stood up and asked,

"Are you going to put on a new song?"

It's been over a month since their last live performance, and during that time, MMK has played "My All" and "Blue Bird" countless times. Even Asagi is getting calluses from hearing them.

Several people instantly turned to look at Asagi, their eyes filled with surprise. Generally speaking, it takes a long time for a singer to create a song, as the song needs to be constantly revised and polished before it is finally released.

Normally, a singer only writes about five songs a year. And of the songs a singer writes in his or her lifetime, only a few of them are known to others.

"Asaki wrote a new song again?"

MMK looked at Asagi in surprise.

Asagi was a little embarrassed because he was the one who copied it, so every time someone asked him about his songwriting, he would either change the subject or avoid talking about it.

"Not yet, just a little frown."

"Speaking of which, I'm kind of looking forward to it. But, we won't be using new songs this time. Let's save the new songs for the summer music festival."

MMK thought for a moment and spoke again,

"Oh, by the way, do you need my help? If you get stuck when writing a song, I think I can probably offer some advice."

After finishing speaking, MMK walked out first, then she stopped at the door, turned around and looked at Asagi and the others, waving her hands vigorously.

"Everyone, come on, let's go for 10 followers."

"Su Shi, do you have time? We'll be waiting for you at Live House "RiNG." See you at Live House "RiNG."

Just after school, before the school bell had completely stopped ringing, Nagasaki Suyo's phone vibrated. On the stage, the teacher glanced in her direction, and Nagasaki Suyo immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.

However, the teacher did not say anything, but only suggested that everyone turn their cell phones to silent mode during class.

Nagasaki Motoyo opened her cell phone and saw a message from Chihaya Aine.

Nagasaki Suyo was a little surprised. Chihaya Aine took the initiative to look for her. Is there something wrong? Nagasaki Suyo thought to herself. Nagasaki Suyo put her phone in her bag, picked up her backpack and prepared to go to the Live House "RiNG".

She prepared five tickets, one for each person. While everyone was at the Live House "RiNG," she handed them out and invited them to the live show.

"Do you think Su Shi will be happy about what we have prepared?"

Chihaya Aine was still a little uncertain. She looked at the live tickets on the table and said anxiously, "That was their return gift, prepared for Nagasaki Suyo." But Chihaya Aine didn't know where this uneasiness came from, and she always felt a little panicked.

Chapter 90 Gift

“Dangdangdangdang…”

Just when Chihaya Aine was feeling uneasy, the door of the Live House "RiNG" opened, and Nagasaki Motoyo with long light yellow hair and a smiling face appeared at the door.

When everyone heard Nagasaki Suyo's voice, they all looked up at Nagasaki Suyo. Nagasaki Suyo walked in excitedly and sat down in the empty seat.

Everyone looked at Nagasaki Suyo with a little surprise, because they rarely heard such obvious and ostentatious behavior of pleasure from Nagasaki Suyo's mouth.

Shiina Riki stretched his waist. He put his hand on Nagasaki Suyo's head and measured the temperature of her forehead. After confirming that everything was fine, Shiina Riki felt relieved and asked doubtfully,

"Are you sick? Are you upset? Or do you already know?"

Everyone nodded at once and looked at Nagasaki Suyo, who also had a puzzled look on her face. What was that look? Did everyone already know?

Nagasaki Suyo was very happy, with a slight smile on her face. Then she lowered her head and took out five tickets from her bag. These were the tickets Nagasaki Suyo prepared for her companions. This time, she wanted to take them with her.

Moreover, Nagasaki Suyo had another important announcement to make: she had become friends with MY ALL's drummer, An Heang. Two days earlier, facing An Heang's enthusiastic invitation, Nagasaki Suyo, with some trepidation, finally agreed.

On the one hand, Nagasaki Suyo and An Heang have not had much contact yet, on the other hand, An Heang has a faint idol aura. Because Nagasaki Suyo watched their live performance last time, she still has a little liking for MY ALL.

With this feeling of both anticipation and fear, Nagasaki Suyo met An Heang. As expected, just as Inoue Asagi said, An Heang was a girl with a very good personality. She greeted Nagasaki Suyo very warmly and they quickly became friends.

If everyone knew that she knew An and Ang, what kind of expressions would appear on their faces? Nagasaki Suyo imagined everyone's surprised expressions in her mind. She even began to look forward to it.

She hummed softly and took out the five tickets.

"This is a gift for you."

"This is a gift for Sushi."

Nagasaki Motoyo handed over the ticket in her hand, but Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Touma did not take the ticket from Nagasaki Motoyo. Instead, they handed over a ticket and placed it in front of Nagasaki Motoyo.

Nagasaki Motoyo and they all felt that the tickets in each other's hands were very familiar. They seemed to be almost exactly the same as the tickets in their hands, if not very similar.

"??? Blink..."

"??? Group blinking..."

Time seemed to stand still, and there was a kind of innocent stupidity on both of their faces! They blinked, puzzled, and unconsciously took the ticket from each other and stared at it for a while.

"Ah..."

The girls screamed in unison.

Asagi, along with MMK, Ann, Lupa, Nina, and Satoshi, stepped off the train. They gazed at the familiar scene before them, finding themselves in the same place they had been before, yet without the fear and anxiety they had felt the previous time. This time, MMK, Ann, Lupa, and Satoshi all wore smiles, though Nina was the only one still needing to adjust.

Arriving at the door of the familiar live store again, Asagi saw the familiar uncle again. When the uncle saw MMK and the others, he stood up from his chair excitedly and waved to Asagi and the others.

The big smile on the uncle's face made MMK and the others feel very happy. Because if something like this happens, it means that the tickets are selling very well.

Generally speaking, as long as about half of the tickets for a live event are sold, the investment can basically be recovered. And the uncle was so happy, it was obvious that the situation exceeded his expectations.

"MMK, you're finally here." The old man greeted them from a distance, then walked out from the front desk and stood at the door to greet them. MMK and Rupa just nodded slightly in greeting.

"Hey, uncle, long time no see."

Asagi responded in the same way. The uncle looked at Asagi, tilted his head, and looked a little puzzled.

"Hey, long time no see. By the way, who are you?"

Asagi's excitement suddenly faded.

"Haha, uncle really knows how to joke."

However, he didn't care about that.

"I did forget a little. But, she looks familiar. And, MMK, is the girl next to you your new team member? Are all five of you together?"

As for Asagi, the uncle probably couldn't remember him clearly. After all, as the store manager, he stood guard at the door, seeing thousands of faces every day, including those passing by and entering the store. Furthermore, the store manager was old, so he probably ignored unimportant things. In other words, he was clearing unnecessary memory.

"Nina, our new lead singer."

MMK turned sideways to introduce Nina to the store manager, but Nina acted a little reserved. She bowed deeply and formally to the store manager, which startled the store manager and made him stand there in shock, not knowing what to do.

"I'm Jing Qinrencai, the new lead singer of MY ALL. Please give me your guidance."

The store manager looked at MMK with embarrassment, and MMK turned his head away, avoiding the store manager's sight.

After the greetings, the store manager reported the ticket sales results to everyone.

"It's sold out, Ms. MMK. Honestly, in all my years in the industry, I've rarely seen anything like that. But it's not a bad thing. It just proves that Ms. MMK's new band is very popular."

"This time, MMK, you really found a group of amazing teammates. And..."

Suddenly the store manager lowered his voice, looked around, and after confirming that there were no unknown people nearby, he whispered,

"During this period, many agencies came to me to inquire about your information, but I didn't tell them."

"I don't think they'll give up. Has MMK ever considered joining an agency? Actually, I know quite a few agents in agencies."

Asagi could see that the store manager was secretly promoting his products. Perhaps he really had a reliable acquaintance, or perhaps he had received a small benefit from others, but in any case, the store manager was poaching people right in front of Asagi.

It has always been Asagi who has been stealing other people's girls, but he never thought that such a day would come for him.

"I do have thoughts of joining the firm."

MMK answered. The store manager's eyes suddenly lit up. He was about to speak when MMK interrupted him and continued,

"We plan to set up our own firm."

"This is difficult, MMK."

After hearing MMK's words, the store manager swallowed his thoughts. But he persuaded MMK based on their long-term acquaintance.

"If you don't want to join an agency, you can definitely start an independent band. I know a lot of independent bands."

"Working with an agency is very different. They have to hire staff, which is a huge expense. I suggest signing with an agency first, getting established, and then when you become famous you'll have a large fan base. After the contract expires, you can then go independent."

Chapter 91 You know

MMK folded his hands and looked away.

"I understand everything the manager said, but this time, we have our own ideas. I've always thought joining another agency was a good path. Or rather, I used to really hope that an agency would take me in after leaving Diamond Star."

"But, things in this world aren't so simple that they'll act according to your personal ideas. So, now I don't care about the agency anymore. Besides, my teammates and I have our own ideas, which are completely different from those of the agencies."

"Maybe it's a kind of willfulness. So, we plan to find someone to help us and follow our path."

Asagi looked at MMK. This was the first time that MMK expressed her views on the future. There was already a consensus that she would set up her own firm, but what Asagi had never expected was that MMK had deeper thoughts on this matter.

MMK wanted to pursue his passion, something Asagi had already stated from the beginning; he supported MMK's vision. It seemed the agency's initial policies needed some adjustment, Asagi thought.

Although they didn't have a specific plan for the office yet, Asagi had already formed a rough plan in his mind. It was just that plans could never keep up with changes.

"Can you give it to me?" Asagi walked forward and looked at the store manager with a smile. MMK made way for Asagi. MMK's small gesture surprised the store manager. The president, who had worked hard in society, immediately understood the meaning behind MMK's small gesture.

It turned out that the leader of this band was this familiar-looking boy. The store manager looked at Asagi, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt. He wondered where he had seen him before. The store manager began to search and compare his brain, and finally a vague figure appeared in his mind.

"It turns out to be you."

The store manager suddenly realized something and stared at Asagi. He also remembered Asagi. The store manager took out a few business cards from the counter behind him and handed them to Asagi. There were about 7 of them.

Asagi looked at the names on the business cards one by one, but none of them looked familiar to him. It wasn't until he turned to the sixth card that he saw a familiar name: Miura Chaomei.

Asagi was very fond of Miura Shiomi. She was not only dedicated and hardworking, but also willing to take responsibility. More importantly, she was young and, unlike other managers, completely rational in planning the band's future. This rationality could potentially dampen the band's spirit.

Asagi smiled, and the store manager leaned over curiously to glance at the business card in Asagi's hand. The name Miura Shiomi popped up in his mind. He knew Miura Shiomi well; she frequently came to his store to watch live performances. She was a somewhat sentimental manager.

"This is a very good agent, very young and energetic. Oh, and she seems to be a fan of MMK. Do you want to contact her?"

The store manager suggested.

In fact, Miura Shiomi had already been in contact with MMK. Because she was an MMK fan, Miura Shiomi didn't know whether she was blocking the way on purpose or she just happened to meet him. Miura Shiomi extended an olive branch to MMK. However, Asagi refused.

Asagi was interested in Miura Shiomi, but not the agency behind her.

"Is that okay? I'll trouble you, uncle."

Asagi readily expressed her approval to the store manager. The store manager was also delighted to help MMK and the others. This time, the store manager practically earned a double favor: a double favor from Miura Shiomi and MMK and the others.

"She also bought a ticket. She will definitely come tonight. I'll let you know when the time comes."

"You understand a lot, uncle. Then we'll still be here for the next live. I'll turn down other people's invitations."

Although MY ALL still has some traces of popularity, their range of activities is limited, and the venues they can choose from are limited. Without the strong promotion of an agency, a band would not easily change its familiar live venues.

But the problem was, the manager didn't know. He was just happy to hear Asagi's words. In other words, Asagi was returning the favor the manager had just done, returning it with nothing but empty air.

"You understand it too. I'm optimistic about you."

The store manager was delighted and turned back to the front desk. It was almost time for ticket checking, and MMK and the others needed to go in and rest.

Before entering the venue, Asagi sneaked up to the store manager and whispered,

"Uncle, please keep an eye on her for me. When Miss Miura Shiomi arrives, please notify me immediately."

The store manager instantly understood what Asagi meant and nodded, agreeing with a smile. It wasn't a difficult task, just a piece of cake.

They walked into the lounge, where they were staying, the same place as last time, except there were fewer bands this time because MY ALL might take up a little more time. Asagi roughly estimated that MY ALL would take more than twice as long as last time.

Lupa, An and Ang were much more relaxed, finding a place to rest quietly. Rencai, on the other hand, was much more excited, standing in the lounge, constantly pacing, occasionally looking at others, anticipating what they would say.

"Asaki, what were you talking about with the manager just now?"

Waiting for the right moment, MMK asked. She looked at Asagi, seemingly concerned about what he and the store manager were talking about. Asagi and the store manager stood there, their faces constantly sporting those mysterious smiles characteristic of men who "know what I mean."

After hearing what MMK said, Asagi suddenly became serious.
