Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

……

Ps: I really lost a lot of money this week.

On Wednesday, I watched TES being captured by France. On Thursday, I watched Chuhua crawling in the dark. On Friday, I watched TES lose to the other side. On Saturday, I watched Hanwha spinning tops...

It's the ultimate enjoyment.

Chapter 158: Master of Time Management.

Originally, the director's plan was to have Guitar Hero's band appear later in the film as the finale.

But now, standing in front of him is a little-known new band [New Kawasaki]

Even though Momoka is in the band, she was indeed quite famous in the past, but now... she is considered out of date.

Their appearance, regardless of popularity or market value, would make it impossible for the director to adjust the order of the program, let alone arrange them as the finale.

Therefore, they only had one hour to practice.

Although Taoxiang and her friends did not bring their own musical instruments, there was naturally no shortage of musical instruments at the music festival.

Hailing made a phone call to inquire, and her former teammates generously came over and lent their instruments to Taoxiang and the others.

One of them is a fan of Taoxiang.

She said excitedly, "Momoka, I didn't expect to see you perform on stage again after such a long time. I'm going to tell other Diamond Stardust fans about this!"

As she spoke, she was about to take out her cell phone to inform other friends she knew.

"Wait a moment!"

Taoxiang quickly stopped her, "I've left Diamond Stardust now and formed a new band. It's not a good idea to use my previous name for promotion, right?"

"What's wrong?"

The girl tilted her head in confusion. "Does that mean the Diamond Stardust you are no longer yourself? Do you want to deny your life?"

"I……"

Taoxiang was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to explain it.

At this moment, An Hesuba suddenly pointed at the secondary screen on the stage and said, "Look at the news above! I don't think there's any need to promote it..."

The secondary screen on the stage has been rotating the information of the bands that are about to perform. At this moment, the news displayed on the secondary screen is about them [New Kawasaki].

It said that one band couldn't be there, and would be temporarily replaced by a new band with former Diamond Stardust lead singer Momoka Kawahara as the leader.

Now everyone in the audience standing on the main stage knew about it, and Momoka could hear the noise coming from the audience.

"Momoka, you can't run away from this anymore. Maybe even the members of Diamond Dust know about this!"

Jing Qin Rencai was naturally delighted to hear about this. She was already throwing punches with full fighting spirit, "That's perfect! We can finally declare war on them!"

"..."

Taoxiang was still very resistant, but the situation had reached this point and she could no longer stop just because she said so.

She sighed deeply, her eyes becoming increasingly resolute. "If that's the case, then let's practice hard. We absolutely cannot let Diamond Stardust look down on us!"

Time was running out, so they didn't hesitate too much. After reaching a consensus, they quickly looked for a suitable venue to start rehearsing.

At this time, most of the audience had gathered in the main stage area, and there were relatively few people near the backstage. As long as the volume was not turned up too high, it would not affect the situation on the main stage.

"Okay, everyone, tune up your instruments and start the first rehearsal right away."

Taoxiang whispered, pulling on the guitar strap and sliding her fingers lightly over the strings, making a series of clean plucking sounds.

She lowered her head to adjust the volume knob, hummed a few lines of the prelude, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Jing Qinrencai reached out and grabbed the microphone in front of her, humming a few times. There was no hesitation in her voice, and her eyes were focused, as if she had completely entered the state.

An He Subaru simply struck the hi-hat of the electronic drum, and a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes as she listened to the crisp echo.

Hachiman Kailing didn't say much, but just lightly plucked the bass string with her fingers, indicating that she was ready.

Taoxiang looked around at her current teammates, threw away the distracting thoughts in her mind, took a deep breath, and then slowly said: "Let's get started!"

Accompanied by Taoxiang's plucking, the guitar prelude slowly sounded.

This song "Empty Box" was written and composed by Momoka herself, and it is very familiar to her.

Her guitar playing was precise, her fingertips gliding across the strings quickly and smoothly, with just the right amount of emphasis and speed.

For Jing Qinrenna, this song also means something very special to her. She has sung this song thousands of times in the past, and even when she is most tired, she can hum it with her eyes closed.

She didn't need any preparation and entered the main part of the song accurately as soon as she opened her mouth. Her voice was clear and firm, and every syllable was in tune with the beat without any drag.

An Hesuba was used to using this song as a warm-up song during her usual practice. At this moment, she subconsciously followed the rhythm. The sound of the drumsticks hitting the drum set was clear and powerful, and the rhythm of the hi-hats maintained a steady speed, which added a touch of tension to the whole song.

This is their usual state during rehearsals. The only problem now is whether Hachiman Kailing, who joined temporarily, can keep up with their rhythm and avoid making mistakes.

The moment Hai Ling's bass joined in, they knew that their worries were completely unnecessary.

Her bass part was steady and precise, without any drag, and every note fell where it should, as if she had practiced this song thousands of times.

A hint of surprise flashed in Taoxiang's eyes. While she was playing, she couldn't help but glance sideways at Hailing.

Hai Ling played without any hesitation or mistakes. She just stood there calmly, her fingers plucking the strings nimbly, her body swaying slightly with the rhythm, looking very familiar with the instrument.

The vibration of the bass strings and the drum beats fit together perfectly, like a stable pillar, laying the most solid foundation for the entire song.

An Hesuba couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and even nodded vigorously to express his approval of Hailing.

At the moment the first practice session ended, everyone's fingers rested on their instruments, the echo of the last note still lingering in the air.

After a brief silence, Taoxiang was the first to speak with a smile: "...Haha, it seems my worries were unnecessary."

An Hesuba nodded vigorously and swung his drumsticks excitedly. "Perfect! Hailing, you're amazing! No wonder you've received invitations from so many bands!"

Hai Ling casually plucked the bass strings and expressed her approval of them in a calm tone.

"You guys performed quite well. We should be able to save a lot of time on getting used to each other."

Taoxiang looked at her, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and there was a hint of trust in her eyes.

"Very good, then let's do it again - this time, give it our all!"

When the Shinkawasaki band was rehearsing, Taku Hoshikawa did not go over to check, nor did he show any concern.

He stood at the lighting console, one hand casually resting on the equipment, the other leisurely twisting a small dimmer knob.

The stage in front of me was covered with lights of various colors, and each beam of light fell precisely where it should fall, like a carefully calculated chess game.

His eyes swept across the main stage, with a faint smile on his lips.

How Momoka and the others performed? Not important.

Taku Hoshikawa arranged for them to go on stage not out of kindness or confidence in their talents, but to make them owe him a favor.

Compared to whether Momoka and the others can perform smoothly, Hoshikawa Taku is more concerned about how he can "poach" them in the future.

Just as Taku Hoshikawa was thinking about how to find a reason to sign them later, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

"Xingchuan!"

A familiar voice sounded.

He turned his head and saw the figure of Yidizhi Xingge walking towards him from behind.

"Hishikawa, I heard that Momoka and the others are going to perform on stage. Could it be that... this is your work?"

she asked with concern.

Ijichi Hoshika also knew that with the current popularity of the band "Shin Kawasaki", it would be impossible for them to have the opportunity to perform on stage unless they were recommended and invited by an insider.

The most likely person she thought of was Taku Hoshikawa.

...It can't be Momoka's former teammate from Diamond Stardust, right?

"Yes."

The corners of Hoshikawa Taku's mouth curled up slightly, and he admitted without hiding anything, "It just so happened that a band couldn't go on stage at the last minute, so I recommended them to the director."

The director was not far away. When he saw Taku Hoshikawa chatting with Ijichi Hoshika about the "Shin Kawasaki" band without any scruples, his eyebrows raised in surprise.

What's going on? Does it mean that Ijichi Seika knows Kawahara Ki Momoka and the others?

Hoshikawa Taku is so bold that he actually wants to simultaneously pursue people who know each other. He is really not afraid that his actions will be exposed during the "reconciliation" and that the two boats he is standing on will capsize at the same time...

But it's also true that if he was afraid of failure, Taku Hoshikawa wouldn't be operating on multiple fronts.

The director's admiration for Taku Hoshikawa, the "time management master", has deepened.

Chapter 159: The new lead singer who deliberately acts cute.

Time passed faster than expected. The one-hour rehearsal was over quickly and Taoxiang and the others returned on time.

Taku Hoshikawa stood at the side of the stage, his eyes sweeping over them. Their expressions were confident and determined, and each of them had a firm look in their eyes, as if they had made all the necessary preparations.

It seems that the rehearsal was effective.

"I won't ask any more."

The corner of Xingchuan Taku's mouth curled up slightly, and then he raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation towards the stage, "Come on stage and show your strength."

Kawahara Momoka, Yawata Kairei, Isen Jinna, An and Subaru looked at each other, then nodded heavily together.

Soon, it was finally the turn of the New Kawasaki band to perform.

The moment their band stepped onto the stage, the lights followed their footsteps precisely, and beams of dazzling light gathered from all directions, illuminating their figures.

Seeing Taoxiang's familiar face, the audience in the audience, who were full of expectations, were suddenly in an uproar.

Excited discussions exploded instantly, like a huge rock thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

"The guitarist is indeed Momoka from Diamond Stardust! That's great! It's been so long since I've seen her perform. She's finally making a comeback!"

"Wait... isn't that bassist the band's mercenary, Hachiman Kairei? Why is she on stage again?! How many bands has she joined? Why do I see her everywhere..."

However, compared to the appearance of Momoka and Hachiman Kairei, what shocked the audience the most was naturally the girl standing in the lead singer position - I Serina.

Rencai is not tall. She stood in front of the microphone, holding the stand with both hands and standing on tiptoe to adjust the microphone to the appropriate position.

The audience fell into a strange silence, and then burst into even louder doubts.

"Wait a minute, isn't Momoka the lead singer of this band? She's just a simple guitarist?"

"Why would they let a kid be the lead singer? Could this band be some kind of amateur group just for fun?"

There were waves of doubts from the audience. No matter how you looked at it, Jing Qinrencai did not have any aura of a lead singer.

Jing Qinrencai did not argue or defend herself against the doubts from the audience.

She didn't even glance towards the audience, but just stood there calmly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sharp smile.

The next second, she suddenly raised her right little finger high.

Under the illumination of the stage lights, her little finger was coated with a layer of cold luster, and the curved arc carried a hint of provocation - as if she was raising the middle finger to the entire audience in contempt!

Aren't you skeptical? Then open your eyes and see clearly!

See how much of a storm her voice can create!

At this moment, Jing Qinrencai's fighting instinct was completely ignited.

She took a deep breath, slowly clenched her fingers into fists, then swept her eyes firmly over every member of the band, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a determined smile.

They are not here to prove themselves, they want to leave their mark as New Kawasaki in this music festival!

They are going to officially declare war on [Diamond Stardust] at this music festival!

……

As early as the news that Momoka Kawaharaki was going to perform on stage came out, the fan groups of "Diamond Stardust" were already going wild.

Various messages were frantically flooding the group chat, with excitement, shock, and excitement mixed together, making the entire chat box almost unreadable.

The discussion was most intense in one of the old fan groups.

"Momoka is finally back on stage!"

"Looking at you like that, I know you're not well-informed. Taoxiang has already held a performance at Livehouse before, and we discussed Taoxiang's situation back then."

"Although Taoxiang is no longer in Diamond Stardust, her new songs still have the style of the old group. I am listening to them on repeat now."
