Anime Crossover Band, Rock Girl Won't Let Me Go

Chapter 54 Can I sing "Spring Shadow"?

In a blink of an eye.

Bai Qiu and the other two entered the adjacent private room.

Sitting on the sofa.

I don't know if it's just psychological, or if the soundproofing of this karaoke bar is just so-so.

The three of them felt as if they could faintly hear Otsuki Yuyuko's singing voice in their ears.

This made the three of them even more guilty.

Or, how about we call Otsuki Yuuko over too?

Bai Qiu thought to herself.

Fortunately, at this time...

Chihaya Aine was the first to suggest it.

"Um, let's quickly choose a song!"

"Deng, Bai Qiujun, is there anything you'd like to sing?"

She picked up the tablet for selecting songs and looked at the two of them.

Deng shook his head.

But I couldn't help but recall the last time I went to karaoke with everyone from Crychic.

Bai Qiu shook her head as well.

Singing yourself is nowhere as fun as listening to others sing.

If he had to sing, he would like to sing a song from his hometown.

I just don't know if there are any karaoke bars around here.

Although both of them seemed somewhat uncooperative as they shook their heads.

Chihaya Aine smiled.

"Then I'll choose!"

"Let's sing a song by Sumimi."

“sumimi?”

Bai Qiu repeated the sentence curiously.

The lamp blinked blankly.

"Huh?! This is Sumi! Don't you guys know Sumi?"

Ai Yin was very surprised, and then introduced it.

"They're a very popular idol group this year!"

Bai Qiu nodded slightly; he never paid attention to these things.

Chihaya Aine had already chosen a song for Sumi.

Suddenly, two very different beautiful girls appeared on the screen, each holding a guitar.

One was blonde, the other was brunette.

A melodious song followed.

Bai Qiu narrowed his eyes. "This is Sumimi?"

"Mmm!" Chihaya Aine proudly raised her head, then excitedly said, "Isn't that amazing! She's my idol. I wish I could meet her in person."

"I feel like I've seen this before."

Bai Qiu said suddenly.

Chihaya Aine froze, her eyes widening, her voice slightly agitated.

"You've seen it? Really?!"

Takamatsu also looked at Shirai with a puzzled expression, even though she didn't know anything about this Sumimi either.

But from Aine's introduction, she seems really impressive.

"I've met you, twice."

Bai Qiu glanced at Ai Yin and said indifferently.

Chihaya Aine was petrified, exclaiming, "You're kidding me, right?!"

"Last time was at the planetarium."

Bai Qiu said.

"A planetarium?"

Upon hearing about the planetarium, the lamp became interested as well.

Bai Qiu looked at the lamp and explained,

"Actually, I've seen the lamp before, but I probably didn't notice it. Last time we went to the planetarium, this blonde girl was sitting next to me."

Deng recalled the scene from last time and shook her head slightly. She seemed to have no recollection of it; she had been too busy looking at the stars.

“It’s Chuhua!”

Ai-yin said enviously.

"Chuhua?"

Bai Qiu was stunned for a moment; the name reminded him of a distant memory.

"The blonde one is called Mitsumi Hatsuka, and the black-haired one is called Junda Mana."

Chihaya Aine explained the facts to the two of them, but inwardly she was marveling at the situation.

How wonderful it would be if I could give my idol a chance to meet her!

If I could get an autograph or a photo with him, hehehe!

Bai Qiu, however, began to carefully observe the triangular Chu Hua on the screen.

It can't be such a coincidence!

Although it's been a long time.

But he once met a friend on a small island who was also named Sanjiao Chuhua.

Compared to the screen in front of me.

Although they seem to have changed a lot, upon closer inspection, they do have some similarities.

Has Chu Hua transformed into a popular idol?

Bai Qiu found it hard to believe.

Is Tokyo, or rather, neon-lit Tokyo, really that small?

"By the way, which planetarium is it?"

Chihaya Aine interrupted Haku's thoughts.

She clasped her hands together, speaking with a mixture of expectation and earnestness.

"Please tell me!"

"It's not far from here..."

Subsequently.

Chihaya Aine was overjoyed to receive the address of the planetarium and began to sing with a delighted expression.

The songs ended.

The atmosphere felt just right.

Bai Qiu and Chihaya Aine exchanged a silent glance.

Bai Qiu: Shall we do it or shall we?

Chihaya Aine: Leave it to me!

Before this, Bai Qiu had already told Chihaya Aine that Takamatsu Akari had previously been in a band and was the lead singer.

Chihaya Aine, while surprised, said with a smile that having two lead singers was not a problem!

"Deng, actually... I want to form a band. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

Ai looked at the lamp and gave a sweet smile.

"Huh? A band?"

Takasōdō seemed somewhat caught off guard.

"Yes, you can let Lamp continue as the lead singer!"

Ai Yin seduced him.

"But... I don't sing very well."

Deng subconsciously belittled himself, and his voice became weaker.

Hearing this, Bai Qiu sighed softly and couldn't help but say something as well.

"Light, don't say that."

"I really like your singing style, where you shout with all your might."

"It may not be the best, but many people will definitely like it."

"is that so?"

The lamp looked uncertainly at Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu nodded and answered affirmatively, "I'm really looking forward to the song by the lamp."

Chihaya Aine added, "I'm looking forward to it too."

expect……

Gao Songdeng didn't want to disappoint the two of them, but she still had many concerns in her heart.

"Light, don't you want to sing?"

Bai Qiu asked again, "You must answer seriously."

After a slight hesitation, Takamatsu Akari nodded.

"miss you!"

"Can I sing 'Spring Shadow'?"

Bai Qiu smiled.

"Um……"

"Haruhikage?"

Chihaya Aine was unaware of this, but she quickly started searching on the tablet used for song selection.

"No?"

"Idiot, how could a karaoke bar possibly have songs by a regular band?"

Bai Qiu complained.

"Oh, right?" Chihaya Aine realized belatedly.

……

However, in the next private room.

Yuyuko Otsuki was indeed singing a song she had written herself.

Actually, at the karaoke bars here, as long as you pay, you're allowed to upload your own songs to a tablet.

……

then.

Bai Qiu plans to use her phone to play Crychic's live performance as background music.

The accompaniment slowly began.

Familiar piano, guitar, bass, and drum sounds rang in Gao Songdeng's ears.

With encouraging looks from the two of them.

The lamp also tried to muster its courage.

He gripped the microphone tightly, and a sound gradually emerged from his throat.

"悴んだ心 ふるえる眼 differ"

"World Servant Servant"

"San ることしか知らない春は"

"Every year, it's cold"

"In the dark, Accelerator..."

.........

Ai Yin listened attentively.

Bai Qiu was the same.

Familiar lyrics echoed in his ears.

Perhaps it's because I haven't sung in a long time.

Perhaps the context is wrong.

At this point, Gao Songdeng was not nearly as desperate as he appeared in the video.

But there is no denying that she has a remarkably good voice.

Gradually, her voice began to overlap with the voice in the video.

There’s no technique, it’s all emotion.

These are the opening lines of the lyrics.

Bai Qiu had read it in Deng's diary.

At the time, I felt it was too pessimistic and negative.

But after hearing about their Crychic story last time...

Bai Qiu later revisited this poem, "Spring Day Shadow," many times.

Undoubtedly, this song is excellent in both lyrics and composition.

They are all excellent!

It's so good that it's hard to believe this was a song written by the band themselves, who were performing live for the first time.

And listen until the very end.

"君の手は どうしてこんなにも热かいの?"

"ねぇお愿い"

"どうかこのまま 里さないでいて"

"ずっと ずっと 里さないでいて"

You will then discover that the shadows of spring are not purely of a sad tone.

It is the cry from the heart of Takasatsu-den.
