259. Eibunka Festival and Idol of Idol [Happy Birthday Mai Majima]

At the end of the song, Mai Majima, who was wearing a headscarf and had shiny cheeks, held the microphone pole with one hand and stroked her chest with the other, and glanced at each other with Futami and Immortal River, and received two encouraging looks.

The audience in front of them was still silent.

The feeling of being unable to breathe in my chest at the beginning came back.

She eased her breath, just wanted to bow and apologize, make up for the mistake of being cold just now, and then start the planned introduction of the band members.

Da ~ Da ~ Da -

Behind him, there was the sound of drums and sticks clashing.

She couldn't help but turn her head sideways, along with the camera lens, to focus on the only male in the band.

Asama Shizui, whose white hair was wet and messy with sweat, didn't look at Mai Majima, who turned back.

He got up from the stool, and he stood on the stool again.

At this moment, Asama is no longer the expressionless face that has not changed for 10,000 years, and everyone can see that there is displeasure written on this face.

The owner who was unhappy and smelly-faced was using an unhappy posture - holding the drum stick with both hands, and after two strokes of his arms upward, he began to exchange drum sticks for 44 beats.

This will be realized off the stage, it turns out that the big teacher is angry because the applause just now is not warm enough?

After a burst of laughter, at least a few thousand people in the audience gave their joyful high-fives and whistles to the rhythm of Asama's percussion.

After training everyone for 2 minutes, Asama finally nodded and sat down.

The photographer immediately gave him a surprise close-up, and everyone saw the white-haired sunglasses of cos Kaneki Ken in the morning and Satoru Gojo in the evening, on the big screen, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Asama-sama aaaaaβ€”β€”β€”β€”"

Some people taste warmth in their smiles, some people feel cruelty in their smiles, and some people read contempt in their smiles, but they are all satisfied.

Those who thought that [Asama Still Water] was too famous, also felt that the person sitting behind the drum kit at the moment suddenly became clear-eyed, even though he was wearing sunglasses.

The screams were like ocean waves, one by one rushing onto the stage.

Majima even has the illusion of smelling the sea.

- It is worthy of still water.

I don't see that he does it often, it's not that he can't do it, it's that he doesn't want to do it for himself.

She understood his reasons for doing so, and she knew that she needed to work harder to bridge the huge gap between her and him.

Mai Majima took another deep breath, preparing for what she had just doneβ€”

Drums, bass, guitars, all at the same moment.

Majima unconsciously glanced sideways at Futami, who smiled slightly and winked at Majima.

It turns out that there is no need for an apology and self-introduction session?

Majima took a third deep breath –

Tonight, let the blazing flames of the wildfire light up the dark night sky.

[The trough looks up at the sky.]

Can you see a circular rainbow?

A stairway to heaven

Does anyone know its maximum load?

O man lying in the mud

Filth is also food

Scars are also strength

Towards the light, upward, upward

RISE! RISE!

in the world!

There is no savior of heaven

Destiny is in your own hands!

RISE! RISE!

in my war!

Prove that you are no longer cowardly,

Prove that you really lived -

RISE-RISE-RISE-RISE-RISE-RISE]

Mai Majima, who held the microphone with both hands and sang with her eyes closed, amazed the other three who restrained the BAND.

With the innate mezzo-soprano voice function, comfortable and rich and plump timbre texture, and improvisational and leeway change processing, Mai Majima will make this immortal river's debut divine comedy "RISE! RISE!" was reinterpreted into another song.

Her gifted singing ability is finally on display at this moment.

"Terrible, isn't it? This level is more than 10 times stronger than the rehearsal just now, right? ”

The second-grade female lead singer who was waiting in the backstage preparation area didn't want to play anymore.

"I'll just say, what's [it is said that the team has been formed for less than 2 weeks, 75% of the amateurs] Bujichuan as a professional, how can he find amateurs to form a band?"

"No wonder they didn't show up once in the rehearsals of the previous few days"

Other clubs backstage have also seen the stage dominance of the restrained band on TV or mobile phone live broadcasts. Most of them are also singing and dancing performances, and the oppressive force brought by the high-level performances of their classmates even makes many people can't help but swallow their saliva.

In the same backstage preparation area, Chie Ayase, a one-year student in the news department who had just finished interviewing several seniors of [Asian Kung Fu Monkey], said with emotion,

"It's even more powerful than those idols who debuted. It's a pity that Kazami Senpai didn't come over to see the performance of the big teacher. Is there anything I have to finish today?"

In fact, the current idols of Yinghe, as well as the idols who were invited to Yinghe to play the cultural festival, were shocked by this high-level performance.

The emotions of the audience gathered in front of the stage have been completely ignited, and with the "RISE! RISE!".

"Wow! This lead singer of the Big Teacher Band is really good! ”

"Just kidding, even the lead singer of RISE is willing to abdicate, can it be an ordinary person? Did you hear the treble part of the chorus she sang? The sound is not distorted at all, right? ”

"So, the one who made Riyo change to play guitar is also very good at guitar?"

"Well, of course it's not like RISE! However, they are by no means members of a regular band. ”

"It's also true, such a cold and good-looking person, I feel that it is difficult to talk to them, I don't dare to find them to form a band."

"By the way, don't you think this lead singer Sang looks a lot like an artist?"

"I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now I find that the lead singer has a very transparent and clean temperament~"

On the other side, the Asama support group.

"How do you feel that where there are Asama-sama, there are them? Sports festival news, movies, stage plays, and the after-night festival are abominable"

"Die, if you want to get close to Lord Asama, you have to be both good-looking. I heard that only people with an intelligence of more than 160 and a good look of at least 90 points are eligible to enter the love counseling department, and in addition, your gender is not right. ”

"You sluts don't want to get close to Lord Asama, and I will protect the peace of Lord Asama! Shh

"It's unfounded, Lord Asama has long issued a law that mortals cannot transgress, and they can be on the same stage with Lord Asama because their talents have been recognized by him."

The trio of the Dead Samurai Band were offstage, looking pained.

"No wonder Rishi has been so interested in bass lately. You can turn bass, but I don't want to turn the guitar, I just hate the guitar picks to play bass."

After the blue-haired punk girl Eimi Shiina finished speaking, she painfully ate the corners of her lips into her mouth.

"It's no wonder that both the old man Nakaoka and Riyo feel that their minds have not been on the band recently, I first thought it was because the sales of the new album did not meet expectations, so it turned out that I didn't need this old drum kit anymore."

The bald Koyanagi hugged his bald head in pain.

"It's no wonder I'm the only one in the whole band who doesn't take the world for granted. It turns out that there is no keyboardist in the ideal band of Riche? Obviously there is a piano department in the newspaper screen, haha, ouch!! ”

The cupola of Okubo has been softened by his hands.

Shiina bit her blackened nails and frowned,

"That's not right! Don't fall into self-doubt, listen! This version of RISE! RISE!", which is completely different from the final version of our record. Does Lee Se want to tell us to escape from our previous comfort zone and explore a new self? ”

"β€”β€”β€”β€” true, a layman listening to the drums of Brother Asama may feel like a wild lion agitating the emperor's engine. But in my ears, he's already a terrifying humanoid drum machine.

γ€ŠRISE! RISE!", a string of triplets, at least 300 bpm! There is also a six-tone plus flower at the back! The most important thing is that Asama-chan is too stable. The distance between the drum stick and the cymbal, the drum stick and the snare drum is controlled, and the strength of the wrist and fingers is so precise that there is no trace of human taste. What do you think of his kick drum? It's like a four-legged robot dog stepping on a drum!

To move towards cyberpunk and electronic music styles, do you have to play the same drum sounds as non-humans? ”

"Why don't there be keyboardists, ahhhhh

The second song ends,

Throughout the festival, whether the audience was professional or not, they were overwhelmed by the flawless performance of the Restraint Band.

At this moment, there is no need for Asama to agitate, and the audience is already cheering feverishly as if the Japanese football team has won the World Cup.

The hijab works because it absorbs the sweat on the forehead and successfully prevents the sweat droplets that can get into the eyes and interfere with the performance.

His arms, wrists, and fingers began to swell, and his right ankle felt sore.

Asama understands that this is the sequelae of the failure to exercise the muscles in the relevant position after the skill is improved.

In other words, playing drums is much more important for the human body, right?

Majima didn't look back this time, and in the face of everyone's cheers, he put his hand on his turban and began to introduce himself.

"This is the [Constraint BAND]."

As soon as the words fell, Futami suddenly came with a guitar solo echo, and Asama and Immortal River followed closely behind, each solo for more than ten seconds.

All four of them smiled knowingly.

The scene was another tsunami-like cheer.

"Let's take a break for a few minutes and introduce ourselves, standing to my left is our [Restraint BAND, Restraint Left Hand], guitarist Fuami Tsukimi."

"This is Futami Tsukimi."

The second sight wearing the [Water Moon Kannon] headscarf bowed slightly, and came to an impromptu solo.

Only those enthusiasts who know rock and roll can hear that the solo of the second sight is Van Halen's divine comedy "Eruption".

"Hey, hey, hey! Make no mistake! Can Eruption bounce to this level? ”

"The people in the Romance Counseling Department are monsters!"

"You're done, I heard you say that the big teacher is a monster!"

At the end of the 30-second solo, Majima flicked the bangs that were clinging to the side of his face because he was soaked, and pointed his palm to the right.

"Standing on my right is our [Binding BAND, Binding Right Hand], bassist and songwriter - Riyo Immortal River."

"Hello everyone~~~ This is the [Water on the Right] Immortal River Riyo who has been reborn~"

What the hell is the water on the right?

Immortal Chuan, who was wearing a hat, played a hat trick - he took off his hat and threw it behind him with a backhand, and after the hat flipped in the air for 3 weeks, it landed steadily on the gradient hair of the Genki idol.

After the trick, Immortal Chuan played the bass riff again [this song is either dead or injured].

The lead singer and lead guitarist of the Dead Samurai band, which already has a certain popularity, is like firing a water gun in a pot that is already hot to the point of smoking, and the scene of the already high temperature becomes even more boiling.

"Standing behind me is our [Restraint Band, Restraint Heart], the drummer and captain - Asama Stillwater."

What the hell is the heart?

Several beams of light with heat shot on Asama's face together, and the temperature in Tokyo was already very high at night, and this feeling of being scorched by the strong light was very uncomfortable, but fortunately he was wearing sunglasses.

"Asama still water, not the captain."

Asama simply played a few drum flowers, I don't know which tendon of the group of people in the audience was pulled, the cheers became more enthusiastic, and a group of people shouted together,

"Great teacher! Not enough! Please knock me! ”

He is obviously the drummer at the end of the stage, but he seems to be in the innermost seat of the palace, and he is the king who receives the envoys of all nations to pay homage.

Mai Majima stared at Asama for a long time with [sure enough] eyes, and waited for the scene to cool down a few minutes for Asama's cheers before laughing,

"I'm Mai Majima, who is in charge of the singing part of [Restraint BAND, Restraint Words], so please enjoy our band's next performance."

As soon as Mai Majima finished speaking, Asama, who was a metronome, lit the foot drum again.

The last two are slow songs, the OST of the movie "Falling in Love with Him Who Doesn't Exist".

The bouncing in the audience also turned into a uniform wave of hands.

Asama had noticed before that the three large screens arranged in a U-shape behind the stage were colorful and dynamic.

Not only are the lyrics subtitled, but the anime is also made that fits the theme of the music very well.

And at this moment, the big screen is playing a clip of the cultural festival movie of their love counseling department.

You don't need to know whose hand it is.

I've been taken care of by this guy from Komaba again.

[Life is like going to an amusement park,

If you don't spend it smiling, you can't do it.

This glass bottle of life that came in advance,

I want to hold countless voices that love you]

The two slow songs went very smoothly until the end.

Immortal River and Asama tacitly came to an impromptu backbeat performance,

Futami is in the solo paragraph.,Ran directly to Asama and rubbed the chords.。

Thanks to the blessing of the Great Ming God, in this round of performance, the skill of the drum kit has not only been upgraded to lv.3 in one go, becoming the 8th expert-level skill he has mastered, but the previous title of [Limelight Commissioner] has also been advanced-

[Title Advanced: Limelight Member→ Limelight Chairman,

Trait obtained: Units with a friendship of less than 50 will have +1 opinion of the title holder when the title holder is in the limelight on a certain occasion, and units with a friendship of more than or equal to 50 will have +10 opinion of the title holder, which will only be active once per month per unit.

While the favorability-increasing trait has a cooldown limit, the friendship-decreasing debuff is gone.

The last song is here, the title song of the new album "W! γ€‹οΌŒ

This ballad, which is somewhere between folk and post-punk, has a soothing tempo than the first two slow songs, and like the rock legend John Lennon's "Imagine", the drum kit has a low presence throughout the song.

Asama followed the beat in his head, RRLRLLRR, and struck the drum kit in front of him, but he didn't expect the song to become a chorus of the first three.

[What what what

We are the prisoner

Waters waters waters

Wish is rising so deep inside

]

The simple melody attracted the fans in the audience to sing along with the lyrics on the big screen.

The emotions carried by music are far more important than the skills of music; What music expresses is far more important than the form in which it is expressed.

The love contained in the Band song has been transmitted to everyone's hearts without obstacles, and let them immerse themselves in this atmosphere that is too lonely, lonely, but warm and light.

Pochi held Sinomiya's hand offstage, waving happily and singing, she felt that this song was simply customized for her and Ah Shui.

Xiao Lishi is really amazing!

I also want to learn what musical instrument, what instrument is the easiest and best to fish with Ah Shui?

Poch took a look and decided that if she had the chance, she was going to learn bass.

The performance, which actually lasted more than 40 minutes, ended when everyone was still unsatisfied.

The three girls said to the teacher one after another, "In this life, I have made an appointment~"

also instantly filled the variety show effect of the music program.

"These people are really whimsical, and they have a lifelong agreement with Lord Asama? Indentured slaves, huh? ”

"Big teacher, please, hurry up and agree, go and fall in love! Don't trouble our single high-quality women in Yinghe anymore! ”

"You're not curious, how did the big teacher do it?"

"Do you want to quit sex?"

"He's like that, quitting a fart, I'm talking about him for 40 minutes, and he didn't shake his head once."

The 5-minute-long encore shouting made Wisteria, who came to the stage to report the curtain, feel in a dilemma, and besides, is it really okay if the drum doesn't take the stage?

Some people even thought that today's night festival performance was a concert of "Restraint Band", so after Asama left the show, they also left early.

In the backstage preparation area, the four of Asama were interviewed by the first-year students of the Ministry of Information.

"Great teacher, hard work."

Chie Ayase's bow almost knocked her head straight to the floor.

"I'm not tired yet."

The last three slow songs are no burden on expert drummer Asama. He took off his turban and looked lightly at the classmate, who didn't seem to match his journalism attributes.

"I'm sorry, I was presumptuous."

"Let's get to the point."

"Okay."

Asama obviously answered in a normal tone, but the rumor that [the big teacher] was bullying the elementary school girl quickly spread in the background.

"Excuse me, it is said that the [Restraint Band] is a temporary band that has been established for less than two weeks, and except for the immortal Chuan-san, no one else has any experience in band performance or even musical instruments, such as the big teacher, your drum kit has only been practicing for less than a week, is there such a thing?"

"Yes."

"So, everyone in [Binding BAND] is actually a musical genius, right?"

"Any talent needs to be fulfilled by hard work."

"Well, the members of [Restraint BAND] are not only extremely talented, but they are also diligent and have worked hard to get such a perfect performance before the festival at the end of the night."

Asama looked at the newcomer to the Department of Information in surprise, and if she wanted to, he would put her on the throne of the Minister of Information.

"That."

"Time is limited, let's go interview other people."

"Okay."

Chie Ayase handed the microphone to Tsukimi Futami.

"Second sight, everyone is curious, you have shown amazing strength in tennis, running, skating, acting, guitar and other aspects, may I ask, how do you arrange your time to master these skills?"

"Next to Jingshui-kun, these skills have been mastered or improved unconsciously."

Great Myojin, you said the opposite!

"We Yinghe have also produced many national-level artists, do you have any plans to make your debut in the second sight?"

"It's up to the plan of the still water lord."

"Does the husband sing and the wife follow?"

Chie Ayase muttered quietly.

Asama looked at Futami and gave her a [own destiny in her own hands!] ] eyes. Futami tilted his head slightly, and replied with a [I don't care about anything else except you~] look.

Then pay more attention to my opinion!

Chie Ayase bent over and moved to the next place for fear of interrupting Asama and Futami's eye contact.

"Majima-san, your voice today is like a heavenly sound, as the lead singer, how do you usually protect your voice?"

"Eat more dishes made by Shizuizu."

Why do you come too!

"It turns out that the great teacher's cooking still has the effect of protecting the voice? I remembered! Majima-san, many people say that you are very similar to Minami Hamabe, what do you think of this statement? ”

Majima glanced at Asama,

"Sorry, it's like, but I'm not. I am who I am, I am Mai Majima. ”

Majima handed the microphone back to Chie Ayase, moved to Asama's side, and asked softly,

"What does Shizusui think of my answer just now?"

"Remove [sorry]."

Majima looked at Asama putting on his hat and mask again, and smiled slightly as he recalled Asama's encouragement to him on stage.

"Hmm."

Chie Ayase handed the microphone to Immortalgawa again. Immortal Chuan adjusted her position and stood in the aperture of a spotlight, the wind from the floor fan in the greenhouse blew her hair slightly, and the whole person showed an impeccable state.

"Immortal Chuan-san, all the songs are composed by you, where does your inexhaustible inspiration come from? How do you define your music genre? ”

"The inspiration comes from the constantly flowing water in life, oh, if you want to talk about the type, it should not be in the flow hahahaha~"

Genki Idol showed a modest expression of [oops, cultivation is not enough yet].

"So, what exactly do you want to express in the musical situation where these elements are full?"

"I'm a little embarrassed to say that the big theme content is a small theme, probably love and peace, right?"

Ayase wonders if it is an immortal Kawaguchi mistake, how can there be a bigger proposition than [Love and Peace]?

"Immortal Chuan-san, the last question, may I ask, you, who are already successful idols, do you have any idol predecessors to look forward to?"

"Yes~"

The eyes of the Genki idol are shining,

"It's Robert!"

"Robert? Which Robert? ”

There are too many rock members named Robert!

"Robert with the quadruple galaxy, huh?"

β€œ.”

The eyes of the girls in the love counseling department fell on Asama's body.

Am I the idol of Genki Idol?
