Chapter 713: There is really something worse than what Maki Horikita sang

Zhu Zi regretted it not long after saying this, because there were really people who sang worse than Maki Horikita.

That's right, it's Erika Toda.

If Maki Horikita is a soul singer, then Erika Toda has sublimated herself to a higher level.

She also sang AKB48's "Love Lucky Cookie", which was attended by Mayu Watanabe, Erika Ikuta, Aya Yamamoto, and Yasuko Akimoto.

The three girls had strange faces, they didn't expect this famous actress to sing so badly.

Zhu Zi clasped his hands on his shoulders and smiled.

"In the future, if you lose faith in your singing, you can take this thing out and look at it. The famous Horikita Maki and Erika Toda have such poor singing skills. They are still singing bravely, what are you afraid of? Zhu Zi turned around and said to Ikuta Erika, Mai Shiraishi, and Mayu Watanabe.

The girls nodded heavily.

The corners of Nanako Matsushima's mouth twitched, there was still such an encouragement, she could be regarded as having learned.

After Erika Toda finished singing, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Do the special judges have any thoughts on Toda-san's performance, Mr. Akimoto, please speak first. Mao Inoue pushed the issue to Yasu Akimoto.

Yasu Akimoto smiled: "It's still difficult to sing this song, but it's not easy for Toda-san to have the courage to challenge this song. ”

"Kimura-san, what do you think?"

Takuya Kimura also smiled: "There are three members of AKB48 behind me, I guess their hearts are broken now, and I guess they wouldn't have thought that Toda-san would sing this song so distinctively." ”

"Zhu Zijun, what do you think?"

Zhu Zi laughed, and everyone looked at him strangely.

"All I can say is that Toda and Maki really opened my eyes today, and it's rare in the world that you can sing these two songs so badly. However, I think you are very good teachers, and the members of AKB48 and Nogizaka 46 have lost faith in singing, but after hearing your singing, they are full of expectations for their future. Zhu Zi didn't save face for the two girls at all.

"I'll look good with you later. Erika Toda gritted her teeth.

…………

The progress of the competition is quite fast, except for Rika Toda and Maki Horikita, the singing level of the other singers is okay.

"System, get me a song that hasn't come out yet. I'm going to pretend to be B later. ”

Soon a song appeared in Zhu Zi's mind.

γ€Šsee you again》。

In writing this song, which looks back at one of his best friends who died in a car accident, Puth was emotionally moved.
