Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

Compared to the difficulty of this song, what it requires most is abundant emotion. The darkness and struggles that one has gone through must be poured into the song without reservation.

And this kind of feeling of wanting to die but being saved is what Mizuno Ai has the most.

It can be said that in Mizuno Ai's view, this song really seems to be tailor-made for her.

So, in order to repay the kindness of producer Taku Hoshikawa, she secretly accompanied him to "work overtime" for several nights in addition to recording and rehearsing.

During those days, Taku Hoshikawa was overworked and had to walk with his hands on his waist.

Standing on the stage at this moment, Mizuno Ai gently closed her eyes, recalling every little detail of her journey, and poured her emotions into the singing.

The years when she was so painful that she almost lost all hope, the collapse in the dead of night, the mental journey of being redeemed by Taku Hoshikawa and regaining her faint love for the world...all of them were condensed into this one song.

Under the soft lighting, her singing was like a warm current that infected the audience below the stage. Many fans cried because of her singing.

"I once thought about ending it all because I hadn't met you yet."

"Because of people like you, I've come to like this world a little bit..."

As the last few lines of the lyrics slowly fell and the music gradually stopped, Mizuno Ai on the stage slowly opened her eyes.

The whole place was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

At this moment, it seemed as if the entire space was tightly wrapped by her emotions.

Everyone was immersed in the melody of pain, confusion, struggle, and ultimately a faint hope, and was reluctant to withdraw for a long time.

A few seconds later, applause broke out like a tide, shouts rose one after another, and the scene was completely boiling.

“I didn’t expect Xiao Ai to prepare such an original song!”

“This song is amazing and will definitely be on the charts after tonight!”

"I can hear Xiao Ai's emotions in this song. It's definitely the best song of the show!"

The live broadcast room barrage was also flooded:

[I cried...]

【The lyrics really hit home, I can totally relate to it.】

[Thank you, Xiao Ai. I feel it’s worth the price of admission just to hear this song…]

In front of the screen, many online viewers were quietly wiping away tears.

There are also many people who have similar experiences to Mizuno Ai and can empathize with her. They have found comfort in this song and gained some courage to face life.

After listening to this song, a hint of tenderness and relief flashed in the eyes of Taku Hoshikawa in the backstage.

Xiao Ai sang this song so sincerely that even he was touched.

After tonight, this song will definitely become Xiao Ai's representative work after she goes solo.

While being happy for Xiao Ai, Takuya Hoshikawa always keeps an eye on the online developments.

Mizuno Ai's comeback concert was already among the top five hot search terms at the beginning.

After the band [Extension Line] took the stage, its popularity soared into the top three.

After the song "I Once Thought About Ending It All" was sung, countless audiences were moved and expressed their feelings under this entry. Every second, more than a dozen comments were posted.

The amount of discussion on social platforms has surged, and with such a hot momentum, it is no surprise that the concert’s hot searches have officially topped Twitter!

Countless passersby were attracted by this entry and clicked into the top live broadcast room to watch.

Taku Hoshikawa doesn't know what the conversion rate is, but so far, the number of viewers of this concert has reached nearly 80,000!

Judging from this trend, the number of viewers is still rising.

Of course, this is not only due to the traffic from the hot searches. The live broadcast room of the concert is also firmly on the homepage of YouTube, further attracting a large number of new viewers.

Taku Hoshikawa was not satisfied with this, but continued to dispatch the publicity and promotion team to coordinate with the rhythm and use the popularity to add fuel to the fire.

He was already beginning to wonder how many online tickets this concert would ultimately sell.

While Taku Hoshikawa was busy backstage, Ai Mizuno sang again on stage.

The next two tracks are not new songs, but lively and energetic songs in their album.

Listening to the tune with brisk rhythm and bright melody, the audience's emotions gradually calmed down, and they adjusted their mood and gradually relaxed and enjoyed the music.

After singing three songs in a row, Mizuno Ai felt a little tired again.

She raised her hand to gently wipe the sweat off her face, then raised the microphone and said in a light and playful tone: "Everyone, I'm a little tired. Please give me some time to rest~"

After a pause, she blinked and raised her voice: "Next, it's time for the long-awaited performance between the bands Diamond Stardust and Thornless!"

The audience immediately erupted in cheers, with fans holding up glow sticks and shouting the names of the two bands in unison.

"Which band will be the best on the stage tonight? Even I, Xiao Ai, am curious!"

Chapter 306: Can Jinna sing a song that never gives up?

"Here we go, it's our turn."

In the backstage corridor, An He Subaru gently tapped with drumsticks the girl I Serina who was wiping her tears and still immersed in the atmosphere of Mizuno Ai's song.

She asked with some concern, "Are you okay looking like this?"

"No problem, I actually gained more strength from Xiao Ai, just wait and see!"

Jing Qinrencai straightened her back.

Kondo Hina, who was standing by, raised the corners of her mouth slightly when she heard this.

"Oh? I don't know where you get your confidence from?"

She said frivolously, "Don't cry if you lose miserably later, okay?"

"Just wait and see!"

Jing Qinrencai retorted angrily.

They looked at each other and snorted coldly, no one looking at each other anymore.

Not only the two of them, but even the members on both sides were exchanging glances with each other. The atmosphere was filled with a sense of hidden competition, mixed with excitement of eagerness to try.

In tonight's "Double", none of them wants to lose.

Following the stage director's instructions, they each walked towards the stage from different passages on the left and right backstage.

The stage lights slowly dimmed, and the audience was silent for a few seconds. Then, the lights on both sides of the stage suddenly lit up, and the blue beam first illuminated the left side of the stage - [Diamond Stardust] appeared!

Lead singer Kondo Hina was the first to walk out, looking confident and with brisk steps. She waved to the audience with her usual bright smile on her face.

"Hello everyone, we are Diamond Stardust! I'm the lead singer, Hina Kondo!"

"I'm the guitarist Urushiyama Rin!"

"I'm the bassist Nana Matsuoka!"

"I'm the drummer, Miyabi Ai!"

Watching them go on stage one by one, the audience suddenly erupted in enthusiastic cheers, which was very loud.

Immediately afterwards, a red light came on on the other side, illuminating the [Thornless] side.

Jing Qinrencai perked up, took the initiative to step forward, and shouted to the audience: "Hello everyone, we are [Youci Wuci]! I am the lead singer Jing Qinrencai!"

"I'm the guitarist Momoka Kawaharaki."

"I'm the drummer An He Subaru!"

When they came on stage, although the cheers were obviously weaker, there was still a group of loyal fans who responded loudly.

This was something that was expected, and the people, whether they were thorny or not, were not affected by it.

Five people came up on their side, but they only introduced three of them, and the remaining two were even wearing masks that covered their faces.

When everyone was a little surprised, Rencai explained: "There are only three people in our band at the moment. The remaining two are temporary reinforcements we invited. Due to some reasons, they are not convenient to show up."

The bassist and keyboardist, both wearing masks, waved to the audience.

Many bands will hire temporary reinforcements. Some people do not want to reveal their identities, so they hide their faces. This is normal and everyone is used to it.

However, many people online started discussing curiously at this moment, guessing who these two temporary members were.

When it comes to bassists, many people mentioned the same name: "Hachiman Kairei".

There is no way. Hai Ling’s reputation as a “mercenary” is too famous in the band circle. When people mention temporary bassists, they will think of her.

However, no one has any idea about the identity of the keyboard player.

As the online audience continued to give wrong answers, two pairs of eyes in the front row VIP seats at the concert suddenly became fiery.

They know the keyboard player's true identity.

Sanjiao Chuhua tried her best to resist the urge to lose her composure and stared at the keyboardist on the stage. Her heart was pounding and her eyes were flashing with ecstasy and amazement.

Ah, I can finally see Xiangzi’s live performance… It would be great if the lead singer next to Xiangzi wasn’t that little sister, but myself.

However, that day won't be far away.

Wait a little longer, Xiangzi, I'll come find you right away...

Just as excited as Sankaku Hatsuka was Nagasaki Suyo.

She bought several VIP tickets just to watch Xiangzi's performance.

She wanted to use these eyes to carve Xiangzi's image deeply into her heart...

They both bought VIP tickets for the front row, and Xiangzi noticed their gazes.

When she looked at Chu Hua, she showed a gentle smile, but when she looked at Su Shi, there was a hint of disgust in her eyes.

Seeing her staring at him with shining eyes, Xiangzi felt a little chilly.

However, Xiangzi is a highly professional musician, and she will not let these minor incidents affect her performance.

In the center of the stage, Ai Mizuno did not leave.

She stood in the middle of the stage, smiling like a host, holding the microphone, and began to introduce the show to the audience:

"I think many of the friends here don't know why these two bands suddenly want to compete against each other?"

"[Thornless Thorn's] guitarist, Momoka Kawahara, was once the lead singer of [Diamond Dust]. Many fans have discussed this, saying that her departure has changed the style of [Diamond Dust]. Some like the original, while others prefer the current version."

Mizuno Ai smiled slightly, glanced at both sides of the stage, and continued:

"I like the members of these two bands very much, so I invited them to be my guests at this concert to give them the opportunity to perform on the same stage."

"Everyone can switch the colors of their glow sticks freely. After the two bands finish their performances, if you prefer Thornless, light up red. If you support Diamond Stardust more, switch to blue."

"On one side is Thornless, who refuses to follow the crowd and insists on being herself. On the other side is Diamond Stardust, who is loved by the audience... Which side will everyone choose? I'm really looking forward to it!"

Ai Mizuno introduced the two bands with a smile.

It seems to be taking a neutral position, but in fact, if you look closely, you can see the subtle tendency in it.

[With or without thorns] Except for Kawahara Momoka, the other members are all newcomers and lack popularity.

Diamond Stardust is now very popular, with a huge fan base and great momentum.

In terms of fan appeal, this match is already a battle with a huge disparity in strength. Mizuno Ai put the two teams together, which is equivalent to "taking sides".

However, several members of Diamond Stardust did not care about this.

There is already a huge gap in the number of fans. If they really win by overwhelming the number of people, they will also feel that the victory is unfair.

Now that they can compete with each other, it is exactly what they want.

"Next, let's enjoy Diamond Stardust's performance!"

Mizuno Ai said this with a smile, and the red lights on the stage and the white lights in the center gradually went out, leaving only the deep blue lights shining on Diamond Stardust, making the four members look like the brightest stars on the stage.

Lead singer Hina Kondo stood at the front, wearing a bright blue and silver-white stage costume with a fluttering skirt. She had a sweet and confident smile on her face and was full of energy.

She raised the microphone and shouted in a clear voice: "Thank you Xiao Ai for providing the stage. Let's sing a song first and let everyone have fun together!"

Diamond Stardust played their band's signature song, a pop song with a light and rhythmic beat.

The lyrics are filled with sweet imagery about youth, dreams, and friendship, which is exactly what Diamond Stardust is all about.

Kondo Hina is not only the lead singer, but also the rhythm guitarist.

She was very active on the stage. While singing, she played the guitar from time to time, waved her hands, and jumped. Her movements were lively and cute, which instantly aroused the emotions of the audience.
