Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

Although what Taku Hoshikawa said was half true and half false, it could well explain everything that was happening.

When Yamada Ryo heard this, he felt a little shaken.

So Pochi signed the letter of intent to leave a way out for the band, to prevent it from disbanding...

There is a very cruel fact - in Japanese junior high and high school, although many girls will form girl bands together, only less than one-tenth of these bands are still active after graduation.

Most of them disbanded for various reasons.

After graduating from high school, the members would go to different universities, making it difficult to maintain group rehearsals and performances, and the group would naturally disband.

Some people treat music as a hobby, but it is just a temporary enthusiasm and they soon turn to other interests.

There are also reasons such as time, energy, interpersonal conflicts, creative differences, etc. It is very difficult to keep a band going for a long time.

If they want to keep the band going, the most likely option is to transition to a professional band, gain the attention of an agency through the popularity accumulated during high school, and become a "professional band."

Pochi probably already considered ending the band as her future "home" and was worried that the band would disband like other bands, so she signed this letter of intent with Hoshikawa Taku.

Yamada Ryo called Hoshikawa Taku over, originally intending to "hold him accountable", but she suddenly began to understand Pochi a little.

Before she met Hong Xia, she was actually the bassist of a band, but that band disbanded for various reasons.

It was Hong Xia who persuaded her to form the current Ending Band.

She still cherishes the band, but she has actually thought about the day when the band will end.

But Boqi is different, she really doesn't want the band to end.

She wants to form a "lifelong band" with everyone.

"So that's it..."

The corners of Yamada Ryo's mouth rose slightly.

This guy Pochi seems to be afraid to take any step forward due to his social anxiety, but in fact, he is the first one among them to take that step.

I really underestimated Pochi's faith.

But then again...how could someone who can practice guitar for long hours every day for years lack faith?

Chapter 111 is more reasonable than the guitarist having a dual personality.

Hoshikawa Taku could see that Yamada Ryo had been convinced by his words.

Xingchuan Taku took advantage of the situation and said, "Liang, you also know Boqi's painstaking efforts. Then are you willing to sign a contract with me like Boqi did?"

Yamada Ryo didn't reply immediately, but frowned and said, "Since you want to sign us, why don't you come to us directly and tell us openly and honestly, instead of coming to Pochi first?"

Hoshikawa Taku spread his hands and said helplessly, "Of course I approached you, but Xingge said you weren't qualified enough to sign a contract. She's just your agent, and if she doesn't agree, there's no way I'll sign a contract with you."

Hoshikawa Taku paused and said, "However, I feel that as a band, you're still a little immature. For example, lead singer Kita is still a complete newcomer and needs time to gain experience."

"But as individual musicians, I think you and Pochi have already met the standards for debuting. As long as you two are willing to sign a contract, we can slowly convince others later."

Hoshikawa Taku leaned slightly closer to Yamada Ryo and said, "Ryo, you've seen the popularity of Guitar Hero. It's already gone viral after just two appearances.

I think you have the potential to be like Boqi. If you are willing to sign a contract with me, you can also become famous on the Internet like Boqi..."

Yamada Ryo was a very cautious person. She was not fooled by Hoshikawa Taku's words. She just said calmly:

"No, I'd better sign the contract with Hongxia and the others. After all, this is a multi-year indenture, and I will only sign it after reaching an agreement with them. As for the letter of intent, it's enough for Pochi to sign it alone."

Hoshikawa Taku was a little disappointed, but he still kept a smile on his face and nodded in agreement: "If you are not short of money now, then signing later will be the same."

"Wait a moment."

Liang suddenly thought of something, "You said that you can only get paid after signing the contract. Does that mean that Boqi is working for nothing and won't get a penny?"

She suddenly felt a little dissatisfied and looked at Hoshikawa Taku sharply.

After all, Yamada Ryo and Pochi are in the same boat, and she doesn't want to see Pochi working for nothing and getting no thanks.

She is the only one who can bully Pochi.

Hoshikawa Taku shook his head and immediately explained, "Of course Pochi makes money. Pochi and I signed a temporary performance contract. We're paid based on the number of performances, and we get paid for every show. Furthermore, Pochi also gets a share of the creative incentives and advertising revenue earned on the Guitar Hero account."

Hoshikawa Taku pointed to Hiroi Kikuri who was also touching and looking around not far behind him.

"Hiroijima signed the same contract. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."

In fact, Pochi and Hiroi signed two different contracts, but Yamada Ryo was not a party to the contract. As long as Pochi and Hoshikawa Taku spoke with one voice, how could she know the difference?

"Hiroi-senpai..."

When he saw Hiroi Kikuri, Yamada Ryo immediately put aside his doubts.

Yamada Ryo respects Hiroi Kikuri very much and always regards her as a senior. If senior Hiroi signed such a contract, then Pochi should not have been deceived.

With his thoughts turning, Yamada Ryo quickly began to calculate.

In other words... Bochi is very rich now, right? Then it is only natural for me to ask her to borrow money, right?

I'll have to let Pochi treat me from now on...

Hoshikawa Taku felt that he had explained everything clearly to Yamada Ryo and that his mission had been completed.

He then said, "Liang, if there's nothing wrong, then I'll go back. Pochi probably needs some rest in her current condition, so I won't go shopping with you."

Pochi is still limp all over and is being carried by Hiroi Kikuri. It seems that he will not be able to recover for a while.

Hoshikawa Taku wanted to send her back.

However, Yamada Ryo suddenly said: "Wait, I haven't finished what I want to say. I came to you not only to ask about Pochi's situation, but also to ask you for 'hush money'."

As he spoke, Yamada Ryo extended his hand.

"Hush money?"

"You don't want others to know the true identity of Guitar Hero, nor do you want the fact that Pochi and you signed a letter of intent to be exposed. Then you have to give me some hush money to keep my mouth shut."

Yamada Ryo said as if it was a matter of course.

Hoshikawa Taku immediately understood why she wanted to meet at the musical instrument store. It turned out that she had been prepared for this and planned to use this opportunity to blackmail him.

Hoshikawa Taku smiled and said cheerfully, "Do you have a favorite bass in the store? Take it, and I'll pay for it for you. Consider it a signing gift I prepared for you in advance."

Taku Hoshikawa cleverly transformed the term "hush money" into "signing gift".

If you give hush money once, you will get it twice. If you give it once, you may eat it for the rest of your life. But the signing gift will only be given once, and... if Yamada Ryo is willing to accept this gift, it means that she agrees to sign the contract.

Taku Hoshikawa turned the tables.

Yamada Ryo looked at Hoshikawa Taku in surprise, and she immediately understood the meaning of what Hoshikawa Taku said.

After thinking for a moment, she took down a bass without hesitation.

"I want this one."

Pochi has already chosen the Hoshikawa Office as her future home, and she has no reason to resist. In that case, it would be a waste not to take advantage of the benefits.

Taku Hoshikawa took a look at the price, 500,000 yen.

A little pricey, but acceptable.

Anyway, the money that Yamada Ryo extorted from him will be returned in the end. The more expensive the bass she gets, the more comfortable he can exploit her.

"Are you sure you want this one?"

Yamada Ryo hugged Bess and nodded vigorously.

"This is a 1970s Music Man Stingray, a pioneer of active bass guitars. Very few were produced, making it a highly collectible. If you can get a fully original, first-generation Stingray in excellent condition for 50 yen, it's definitely a great buy."

Hoshikawa Taku doesn't know much about bass, but since Yamada Ryo said so, let's buy her this one.

Taking Yamada Ryo to the counter at the door to pay, Hiroi Kikuri saw Hoshikawa Taku paying and suddenly became jealous. She hugged Hoshikawa Taku's arm and said coquettishly:

"Xingchuan, if you're willing to buy such a good bass for Liang, why don't you buy me one too? My current bass has been used for a long time, and it's time to upgrade!"

In the face of Hiroi Kikuri's coquettishness, Hoshikawa Taku was completely indifferent and pulled Hiroi's hand away with a ruthless look on his face.

"This is the signing gift I bought for Liang Weilai. Why should I buy it for you? You're not signing a contract with me."

"Can't I buy it without signing a contract? We have such a good relationship, why don't you give me a gift too!"

Hiroi started to act like a rogue and held onto Hoshikawa Taku's arm and refused to let go.

"This is 500,000 yen. Why should I give it to you? You should buy it yourself."

Hoshikawa Taku tried to push Hiroi away with a look of disgust, but she hugged him tighter and tighter, completely disregarding her status as a senior.

This guy, why did he have to act crazy at this time...

Taku Hoshikawa has been taking a system of physical enhancement drugs in the past two days, and his physical fitness has improved slightly. It is not difficult for him to pull Hiroi away, but he is worried about hurting this guy, so it is not convenient to use force.

Just when Hoshikawa Taku was in trouble, Yamada Ryo came out of the store holding a black guitar.

Hiroi suddenly let go of Hoshikawa Taku and hugged Yamada Ryo excitedly.

"Liang, you're so nice to me. Is this guitar the gift you wanted him to give me? But you got the wrong one. I'm a bassist just like you!"

"I didn't take the wrong one. This is the one I took, and it wasn't for you."

Yamada Ryo pulled Hiroi away and put the guitar in Hoshikawa Taku's hands.

What surprised Taku Hoshikawa was that this was exactly the same guitar as the Heika guitar used by Pochi.

"This guitar is what I want to give to Porky, or the guitar hero."

Yamada Ryo lowered his voice and explained quietly, "Pochi and Guitar Hero use the same guitar, so it's easy for people like Hongxia and the others to notice the similarities and draw comparisons. But if two people and two guitars appear at the same time, it can conceal Guitar Hero's true identity."

Hoshikawa Taku was stunned.

I see...Ryo Yamada chose this music store not only to pick out a bass for herself, but also to cleverly devise a covert plan.

This is indeed a good idea.

Let one person play the guitar hero, and then let her and Pochi appear at the same time, so that Pochi can be cleverly cleared of suspicion.

This explanation is much more reasonable than saying that his guitarist has a "dual personality".

……

Ps:

Chapter 8 of Mujica is out. What can I say... Although it's not finished yet, I feel like the story has gone in a very ridiculous direction.

If Ye Mu does not have a dual personality but multiple personalities, he would be a mental hospital all by himself.

Hai Ling is in the same vein as other bassists. They all like to spend lavishly and let others pay for their meals. She also drinks protein/powder every day. In just one episode, Hai Ling's character was transformed from a cold beauty to a comedian.

The opportunity for Mujica's reorganization came from a completely unexpected angle.

I originally thought that the dumpling making would be very stiff, but I didn’t expect the screenwriter to directly introduce a teacher Da Mo who can’t live without Mujica.

In order to survive, it is indeed necessary to reorganize.

Writer, you win.

I no longer consider Mujica as a normal girl band anime. To me, it is a funny anime like "Azure no Blue".

I admit I laughed.

I have let it go, and I feel that I can now accept that Chuhua is Xiangzi's aunt.

Even if Sanjiao Chuhua was actually artificially created from Xiangmu's DNA encoded by my grandfather's genes, and was a container prepared for Xiangmu's resurrection, I can accept it.

Chapter 112: Nagasaki Suyo’s Expectations.

Shiina Riki and Takamatsu Touma waited in RING for a long time, and finally waited for Aine and Motoyo to come back.

As a result, as soon as they came back, Aine said that she planned to temporarily quit the group and become the lead singer of another band.

This news was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar at the scene.

When Li Xi heard the news, she seemed to be on fire. Her sharp eyes immediately narrowed into a line, and her tone was cold and her voice was full of questions:

"Chihaya Aine, you were the one who insisted on forming our band, and now that we've finally reunited, you're the first one to want to leave and go somewhere else to make a name for yourself? What on earth do you mean!?"

In stark contrast to her angry expression is Takamatsu Deng, who looks like a small animal in need of protection.

She pitifully tugged at the corner of Ain's clothes, pleading with a trembling voice: "Ain, please don't leave... If you really want to be the lead singer, I can give you this position, even if I have to play the triangle. Please don't leave us..."

Deng's eyes were full of dependence and helplessness. She had already regarded Aine as her support.
