Mygo, the band legend of Tokyo handsome guy

Shoko Toyokawa's solo appearance on stage was partly intended to recruit suitable band members. She had heard about this from Rinko Shirogane, who said that Roselia's Saya Hikawa, their guitarist, had once performed on stage by herself and even attracted Roselia's lead singer, Yukina Minato.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

Yawata Kairin has been involved with more than twenty bands. She is technically skilled, has the intention to form a band, and the two even share similar visions for the future of their bands.

Toyokawa Shoko already had a vague plan for this business group.

Since the era of girl bands became a trending topic on the internet, a new era of music has arrived. Commercialized girl bands have emerged one after another, with famous ones such as PPP, RAS, and ROSELIA... Their performances are no longer limited to the traditional stage, and the girls' figures have appeared in mobile games, music, radio, comics, and anime through secondary creation.

Perhaps it should be called: the idolization of musicians.

After personally participating and conducting thorough research, Toyokawa Shoko concluded that if there was a trend in this era, it was commercial bands.

A commercial band could help Shoko Toyokawa accomplish what she wanted to do in the shortest amount of time.

She ran away from Narusawa Kaede's house and woke up from her life of pleasure, all to avenge her previous humiliation and to fight again in Tokyo.

Toyokawa Shoko thought to herself: This time, the proud soul named Toyokawa Shoko will never be defeated by anything again!

The only unexpected thing tonight was that Wakaba Mutsu didn't go with her.

Wakaba Mutsumi was waiting for Yahata Kairin here, not Toyokawa Shoko. In other words, meeting Toyokawa Shoko was a chance encounter. Yahata Kairin had a dissertation performance at this live, while Toyokawa Shoko just impulsively showed up yesterday.

What are your thoughts on your friend?

Hachiman Kairin recalled the promises she'd just been given. Although it was a last-minute encounter, the other person spoke with an air of confidence, explaining the project clearly and logically, and the agency had already been contacted...

Sometimes, even simple clothing cannot hide the air of a young lady that shines through in every gesture.

Yawata Kairin has worked with more than 30 bands, spanning from Shimokitazawa to Shinjuku, from Haneoka to Tsukinomori. The number of band members she has spoken about is at least several hundred.

more importantly...

Toyokawa Shoko is a friend of Wakaba Mutsu.

"Wakaba, what kind of person is your friend?"

What kind of person is Saki? Wakaba Mutsu sat there, stunned.

If Ye Mu carefully selected his words, simplifying his lengthy discourse, in the end, only a few words remained that left the reader to guess what was being said.

"Xiangzi is getting better..."

Kairin Hachiman is someone who trusts her friends very much.

Although she couldn't understand what Wakaba Mutsu was saying, Hachiman Kairin roughly understood what Wakaba Mutsu meant.

Toyokawa Shoko must be a warm, sunny, and positive person.

These Hachiman sea bells have already sensed it.

Wakaba Mutsu is a very sensitive and introverted person. For Toyokawa Shoko to be able to trust and get close to her, she must have some admirable qualities.

In short, at a family restaurant near the station not far away, Hachiman Kairin took her seat, and Wakaba Mutsu treated her.

Neither of them were talkative; on the contrary, they were both quite sparing with their words. They ate in silence until Hachiman Kairin indicated that she was full, at which point Wakaba Mutsu also put down her chopsticks.

Hachiman Kairin's eyes remained calm, carrying a world-weary maturity. "These young ladies from the Moon Forest all sit in the same way," she thought.

Ruoye Mu: "Hailin, look for someone."

Yawata Kairin: "You can go find the police or a detective."

Wakaba Mutsu: "A man."

Yawata Kairin: "I take back what I said earlier. You should find a matchmaker or a marriage agency."

Neither of them spoke with any warmth in their tone, yet they sat there, neither showing any intention of leaving. Instead, they exchanged words as if they had reached some strange tacit understanding.

When Wakaba Mutsumi fell silent, Hachiman Kairin also fell silent.

Under Wakaba Mutsu's gaze, Hachiman Kairin took a few sips of water and then put down her glass.

"Wakaba-san, you're using silent treatment on me."

Yawata Kairin returned the same calm gaze to Wakaba Mutsu and said earnestly, "Please don't do this."

Ruo Yemu lowered his head guiltily.

Looking at her like this, Hachiman Kairin really didn't know if Wakaba Mutsu was faking it or if she was just casually putting on an act that would soften her heart.

Yawata Kairin sighed inwardly.

How do you plan to find them?

I don't know if it was just my imagination, but it seemed like Wakaba Mutsu's eyes lit up for a moment beneath her light green hair.

Then, Hachiman Kairin saw the other person start rummaging through her handbag.

“I have photos…” Wakaba Mutsu said.

If you have photos, you should go to the police. Even if they were taken secretly, you can hire a private investigator.

Until Hachiman Kairin took the T-shirt from Wakaba Mutsu, she kept thinking about how she, as a band mercenary, could help Wakaba Mutsu, a regular at live shows.

Then, Hachiman Kairin saw the familiar yet unsettling headshot on the T-shirt.

"..."

This man has become at least twice as shameless as before by printing himself on a T-shirt.

Of course, there should also be wallets.

Unconsciously, Hachiman Kairin looked for a mirror, took out her phone, and then held the screen-off phone up to her face.

If it's this cute face...

Will my wallet also double in size?

"Hachiman?"

Wakaba Mutsumi's voice pulled Hachiman Kairin back to reality.

Hachiman Kairin paused for only a moment before recalling that they were discussing finding someone, and that she happened to know the person Wakaba Mutsu was looking for. The person's name was Narusawa Kaede, and they had done business together and had overlapping activities with the band. He also had good relationships with several high school bands from Haneoka and Hanasakigawa.

But then, Hachiman Kairin remembered the gossip she had heard some time ago.

It first came from the Roselia group, where it was said that Naruzawa Kaede was seen with two girls. Later, both girls disappeared, and it was revealed that he was dating a woman who had already graduated from university, and they were often seen kissing after performances.

Such rumors.

If you're a morally fastidious group, you should avoid this kind of person. But those who play rock music are somewhat rebellious. And those who like punk are even more unconventional.

Hachiman Kairin recalled her first meeting with Narusawa Kaede. It was when she accompanied Shirogane-senpai to a performance. Shirogane had simply dragged the shy Shirogane-senpai out onto the street, staging a spontaneous, impromptu performance...

This self-centered and capricious approach, I don't know who he learned it from, is the best way to capture the hearts of girls in this age group.

Afterwards, Platinum couldn't forget that man for a long time. Do high school students really like this kind of person?

I don't dislike Hachiman Kairin either.

Not disliking someone like that doesn't mean you should push your friends onto them. If it's band support, Narusawa Kaede would be a good teammate, but if it's a relationship issue, then... Hachiman Kairin will have to sit on the sidelines and watch.

If Ye Mu is looking for Narusawa Kaede...

To be fair, Hachiman Kairin's initial reaction was that she felt her friend had been deceived by a scumbag, and she didn't really want to reply. But now, Narusawa Kaede's activities are basically fixed around a few live music venues, mainly FLOAT, in the Higashi-Shinjuku area.

You can easily find out about this by asking Cricket or Ring in front of the band members.

If Mutsuya directly asked Hachiman Kairin, he probably thought that Kairin, as a wandering mercenary, would know more information.

He handed the shirt back to Wakaba Mutsu.

Yawata Kairin pondered for a moment before speaking, "You guys..."

"Hachiman, do you know him?" Wakaba Mutsumi asked. "His name is...?"

I don't know the name, maybe I'm just curious about the band that Naruzawa Kaede belongs to?

That's great. Getting involved in other people's relationship disputes is the most troublesome thing. Hachiman Kairin sincerely hopes that no one around her will encounter such a thing.

Yawata Kairin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, saying, "I'll take you to see him."

Ruoye Mu smiled faintly.

His happiness was palpable.

"He basically doesn't perform on the circle and ring anymore; he's now a member of the band SickHack. You know SickHack? Or flot."

"..."

Ruoye Mu's expression at this moment, like her silence, was completely blank.

Yawata Kairin offered an explanation.

Ruoye Mu asked in confusion, "Minors going to bars?"

Now it was Yawata Kairin's turn to be stunned. In her two years in the industry, this was the first time anyone had asked her this question. But she was experienced and wouldn't linger on such a topic, so she quickly composed herself.

With a blank, expressionless face, Hachiman Kairin asked directly, "Are you still going?"

Wakaba Mutsumi: "Move (walk)..."

Having taken a taxi, Hachiman Kairin asked Wakaba Mutsumi what she thought of the band her friend wanted to form.

Xiangzi has escaped the shadows of the past and is looking towards a better future. What could be happier than that?

Wakaba Mutsu nodded with a light laugh, "Saki will definitely be fine this time."

This time, it means something similar to last time.

Hachiman Kairin nodded. Everyone has a past, that's okay. What's important is where the future leads and what this person does from now on.

Listen to their words and observe their actions. It's not just Toyokawa Shoko who needs to consider more; Hachiman Kairin also needs to consider many things.

Having witnessed the rise and fall of many bands, Hachiman Kairin doesn't want her own band to become the kind of farce where people inexplicably say, "I'm going to disband this band."

Chapter 8: Wakaba Mutsumi's Mission, Birthday, and Wish

Yawata Kairin is amazing.

It's not that Mingze Feng has a keen eye for talent; it's just that everyone in the industry says so.

Even during the era of girl group bands, the initial aspirations of 60-70% of them revolved around ideas like "becoming the center of attention and becoming popular." And the bassist and drummer just happened to be neither in the center of attention.

Therefore, there are far fewer bass and drum players in bands compared to guitar players, so it's common to see a bassist playing for several bands.

Yawata Urin is one of the professionals. Even in junior high, she was already hanging out with a group of senior band members who were about to graduate high school, accumulating a wealth of experience. In comparison, Narusawa Kaede, who entered the field later in life, is actually her junior.

Although this girl wore paperclips as earrings, wore a bodycon skirt at fifteen, and loved punk metal, from the first moment he saw Hachiman Kairin, Narusawa Kaede knew she was a good woman.

He's determined to be friends with this person.

Later, the band activities that Hachiman Kairin helped introduce filled Naruzawa Kaede's empty stomach and wallet at the time, and Naruzawa Kaede's heart was also overflowing with gratitude.

So when he received the call from Yawata Kairin, Narusawa Kaede agreed without hesitation.

Yawata Kairin said she brought a cute fangirl to meet him. When she arrived, she introduced her to him and said that the girl was a young, rich, and beautiful woman who was playing bass alone and might be looking for someone to play with.

As Naruzawa Kaede listened to Hachiman Kairin's words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Whether I'm rich or not is secondary; the main thing is how to let my fans down."

Yawata Kairin was silent for a while on the other end of the phone, speechless at Narusawa Kaede's words.

There are no performances today, but since Hachiman Kairin has already booked a time at Flot, let's go to Flot.

The scheduling of SICKHack events was based on both Hiroi Kikuri's whims and Iwashita Shima's work schedule. In addition, there were also regular activities such as going shopping together on weekdays.

It's said that this group of them is going to go shopping at a lingerie store. Naruzawa Kaede had the audacity to go along, but there was really no need. Lately, Hiroi Kiku has been singing a lot, so Naruzawa Kaede has been staying home making porridge.

He spent his time alone at home practicing piano, cooking, eating, and sleeping. In the afternoon, he messaged Hiroi Kikuri, telling her to heat up some porridge for herself when she got back, and then Narusawa Kaede went out.

Soon, Mingze Feng spotted an incongruous figure inside the flot store.

Flot isn't a quiet bar, and the stage doesn't feature the glamorous piano performances you might expect. Instead, it's filled with energetic metal music, and once the Germanic chants and clanging notes fill the air, there's no chance for the place to quiet down.

The atmosphere was jubilant, but amidst the commotion, two figures sat in a corner, unaffected and each going about their own business.

As soon as Mingze Feng entered the store, he was spotted by the overwhelmed store manager, who came over to ask him to come and help. It was then that Mingze Feng learned that there were indeed two incongruous customers waiting for someone.

Then... Naruzawa Kaede stopped in his tracks.

Yawata Kairin is easy to recognize. In the era of colorful girl bands, there were very few people with long, straight black hair like her. If she could sit up straighter, she might even have the air of an ice queen.

But she was wearing mid-calf boots, a pencil skirt, and a leather jacket... these things are too much for someone who's only 1.58 meters tall... the mid-calf boots looked like knee-high boots on her.
