Tokyo Wingman King

There are three people in Old Apple World, and each of them looks even worse than the tattooed guy from Infinity Society. They are the most difficult ones to mess with in the movie bar scenes.

Gogyoin stopped Fukasawa behind him, while Futami, Majima and Pochi walked up to Asama and lined up next to him.

"I'm Asama Shizumizu, what's the matter?"

"Except for the white hair, there is nothing remarkable about you; your expression is like a sad donkey, and your temperament is like a robot without emotions; you look frigid, but you like standing among beautiful women. It's a perfect match, it's you."

"."

Asama vaguely knew where these stereotypes came from.

The lead singer of the independent rock band seemed very anxious. He put his hands together and pleaded,
"We are missing a drummer in our band. This show is very important to us. I hope you can help us. Please!"

"Be our drummer!" x3
Uniform wide-angle bow
Asana's gaze passed over the back of the three people's heads and looked at Busei. The energetic idol nodded at him vigorously, then turned the pen and laughed.

F-san, how much do you owe me?
You've already played the Franklin effect to its limits
Asama sighed and asked,
"Where's your drummer?"

"He was dehydrated and couldn't do it anymore. He said if he could get out of the toilet, he would go home."

The keyboardist of Old Apple World detailed the situation, saying that the band's drummer ate too much nougat during lunch break, which resulted in a peanut allergy and severe diarrhea.

"You should take him to the hospital."

"It's okay, he took medicine. Oh! That's right!!! Please keep this a secret for us. He is a guy with a lot of idol baggage, I hope you won't spread it around."

Could you please speak more quietly?

"Didn't the drummer know he was allergic to peanuts?"

Yuxingyuan asked from the side.

"No, or maybe he never ate too much peanuts before. The nougat that RISE-san sent today was probably too delicious. He ate four boxes by himself at noon."

Four boxes is too much! Aren’t you afraid of getting diabetes?

"Not even one was left for us." The bassist, who was covered in tattoos and had lip piercings but was still not very noticeable, complained.

Is the leader of your band the drummer?
Asama was a little envious.

"Drummer, can't someone else take his place?"

"That's impossible. The arrangement of our band's music was done by that guy. The drum part is so bad that no one would be willing to help."

So, you are calling me a non-human?

Erjian asked doubtfully,
"It doesn't say that the drum score of a song must be fixed. Can't we adjust it?"

"It's not impossible, but the rhythm of this song has a lot of changes and is very designed. Even an experienced player would find it challenging to play it according to the score. So RISE-san recommended you to us. We watched your performance at the art festival and yesterday's "Before I Forget". You are indeed very talented."

"Please show me the drum sheet first. It would be best if there is also the music score and lyrics."

"So you agree!"

What else?
It's just a task assigned by the heroine.

"I won't wait in line to get a signed album."

Asama turned around and said to Futami and Majima.

Futami and Majima understood what Asama meant, and they had no plans to act separately.

"You can get the signed album later, Riyo-chan, you can't run away."

"We'll go with you, too."

Asama handed the shopping bag in his hand to the brother from Mugensha to help look after it, and looked at Yugyoin.

"Are you interested in taking a look?"

"No, I still have to wait for Brother Yao and Guangdou. You go first."

Fukasawa also took hold of Gogyoin's arm and waved to Futami.

Follow Old Apple World to the LIVE HOUSE.

The stage lighting equipment has been basically set up. There is already a band practicing on the stage. A female lead singer dressed quite artistically waved to Asama and his group.

"The lead singer of the band Gemini in the water, Sawada-san, is an emo band that has been very active recently. People on X say they are the next Downt."

He didn't respond. Although he had always been paying attention to fashion magazines, Asama was indeed blind to what rock bands were popular recently.

However, Futami had a lively conversation with the lead singer of OAW, and acted like a translator, providing scientific translation for Asama.

"Let's go back to the rehearsal room. The drums happen to be right there."

"Eh~? You guys bring your own drums?"

Futami said that today's LIVEHOUSEs are fully equipped. Generally speaking, drummers only bring drumsticks, drum cymbals, and at most a snare drum with the band's logo printed on it.

"Stop talking, we are all that guy's porters."

The lead singer started to complain about the drummer's daily bullying, and was echoed by the keyboardist and bassist.

The rehearsal room on the 4th underground floor also has the characteristic of Tokyo where every inch of land is valuable. Although it is small, it is fully equipped with a mixing console, external speakers, and computers.

The original drums in the rehearsal room were moved to the corner to make way for the drums of the OAW band drummer.

The lead singer pointed to the stickers on the side of each drum and said that the drummer even gave each of his drums and cymbals a name.

[Lisa], [Luna], [Rebecca], [Rozalia]
"All the left ones are L, and all the right ones are R"

"Very perceptive! Here, this is our music score, take a look."

Briefly introduce the score.

Backbeat, backward shift of accent, frequent triple hits, double pedal, rub, choke cymbal, 8-beat front and 16-beat back high-speed tom-toms
A breath of showy chaos hits you in the face.

But considering the master-level drum level, this is still a good score worth playing over and over again.

Asana imagined himself playing this song in his head. In his auditory hallucination, he only had some ideas about the rhythm changes in a few paragraphs.

It can be said that there is a reason why this drummer can be the leader of the band.

"is that OK?"

"I won't know until I try it once."

He looked at the music score with lyrics again, and suddenly the answer came to his mind.

“Can I hear your previous performance?”

"can."

The OAW lead singer pulled out an album and inserted it into the portable CD player.

“This song is the only one on our EP that has received positive reviews.”

Although they are a popular band, the fact that they released two EPs in a row and received mediocre responses has seriously undermined the confidence of everyone except the drummer. Some people also said that they are a band that is all show and no substance and lacks creativity.

"How about it?"

"Cooperate with me to arrange it first."

"Eh??? Now?" x3
The three OAWs looked at Asama in surprise.

Futami and Jiandao smiled at each other. It seemed that the three people from OAW didn't know that when Asama played "Before I Forget" yesterday, he only listened to the original song once, and that was the song without the drum track.

"Down below is, Old Apple World!!!"

"OHHHHHHHH~"

The OAW band is the first of 6 supporting bands.

The audience outside was completely aroused by the three songs of the Death Samurai band.

It seems that as long as you hear the rhythm, you can swing your arms, jump and shake your head wildly.

Fuzugawa, who had just finished singing "W!", came down from the stage with his guitar and greeted Asama and the others who were about to go on stage to perform.

"Takarai-kun (vocals/guitarist), Yanai-kun (keyboardist), keep going! Oh, and Sakai-kun (bassist), keep going too~~~"

Fuzugawa got close to Asama, but was blocked by Asama using a snare drum.

"Robert-kun~~~ As expected, anytime, anywhere, and in any matter, Robert-kun can be the savior."

The girl's movements and expressions were full of love, causing the other three members of OAW to rush onto the stage. The three members of the Dead Samurai looked at the two with either mocking or disgusted looks and left tactfully.

A space for two people to be alone was created.

Fuzukawa grabbed Asama's wrist and whispered,
"Want to know how fast my heart beats when I think of Robert-kun singing?"

After saying this, Busei took a deep breath and straightened his chest, obviously trying to guide Asana's hand to where it shouldn't be.

Asama struck her cruelly with a drumstick. "The idol's mask and the bridge of our friendship are about to be shattered together."

"As long as Robert-kun can always look at me, always be willing to accommodate me, and help me who is useless, nothing else matters at all."

The girl's face was printed with a heart symbol and the word "water", and her forehead, which was covered with a red cap, was slightly sweaty. Her expression was several times more sentimental than usual, which made Qianjian's intuition go against common sense and think that the sweat on her forehead, side of her face, and around her neck must be as sweet as honey.

Science has proven that after exercise or being stimulated by exciting music, girls will produce a lot of hormones, making them more likely to become emotional. And the more emotional she is, the more attractive her pretty face will be.

Fuzukawa is an aura monster.

Can't watch any more.

Asama took off Uzui's hat, took out a handkerchief and covered her head with it.

"Wipe the sweat off."

Thinking that Asama was a little disgusted, Busei's eyes regained a hint of clarity.

"Robert-kun, do you want to collect the sweat of beautiful girls? Or do you only do this to me?"

The girl retaliated against Asana with slanderous words.

At this time, the drummer came down from the stage and urged Asama to come on stage.

"The spirit of rock and roll is not about romance, F-san. Also, I'll give you the handkerchief as a gift."

Asama put on Busei's hat and walked onto the stage.

Lead singer Takarai apologized to the fans who came to support them and gave a brief introduction of Asama.

Even though those female fans who were particularly attracted by the drummer Sakurai's looks had learned about this on X 2 hours before the show, they still couldn't help but boo from below.

And those male fans of Fuzugawa saw Asama wearing two hats, with the one on his head being the same red baseball cap as Fuzugawa's, and they screamed with jealousy.

1000 people were crammed into a 3000-square-meter venue. Members of the Infinite Society wore uniform clothes and formed a human wall, cutting the densely packed audience into small squares to prevent trampling.

They also dutifully dealt with those who spoke ill of the Great Sensei.

Asama saw the people in the front row.

Futami, Majima, Pochi, Daiki, Yamashita, Hohoin, Shinomiya, Ogata,
Ryugasaki, Gogyoin, Fukasawa, Takashi, Kisaragi, Mitsui.
There are also girls from Class A of the first year and the Modern Art Department.

There are so many acquaintances.

"let's start."

Let’s liven up this somewhat cold atmosphere first.

The violent and intensive drum beats immediately ignited the scene.

Asama's revisions to drummer Sakurai's strong arrangement.

In the prelude, the embellishments become more intensive, with even grace notes added before each accent, but the swing between sentences increases the sense of space.

For the melody of the main song, in order to match the meaning of moving forward without stopping in the lyrics, Asama cut out a lot of the rhythms that dominate the song, and instead alternated between half speed and full speed, using the highly granular rhythmic sounds hitting the top of the ride cymbal, double jump rolls and six strikes to form a fixed sentence pattern, filling it with a constantly accumulating weight and thrust, emphasizing the sense of progress of the entire main melody.

The rhythm syncopation and rhythm changes in the bridge and chorus also serve the mood of moving forward in the lead singer's vocals and keyboard player's harmony. The chorus even introduces a simple and easy-to-shake rhythmic sentence pattern such as disco beat.

The drummer's bullying performance receded, and the space left was filled by the instruments and singing of the other three members of the band.

Most importantly, OAW fans finally heard that their bassist was not slacking off.

Bassist Sakai shed tears on stage for the first time.

The new interpretation of "Going Straight in the Sky", which has an uplifting and catchy melody, has impressed many experts.

"Hey! Have you noticed that this new drummer is incredibly strong?"

"Although Sakurai is recognized as a genius, this Asama is undoubtedly a master."

"Amazing! Compared to the original drums that you never get tired of listening to, this version of the drums is undoubtedly the bible for technical drummers."

"Which band and management company is this Asama affiliated with now?"

"What? A student band called "Constraint BAND"? A knockoff of a 2D band?"

"Give me their contact information, I want to sign them no matter what!!!"

"The eldest son of the Konoe family. Asama Shizumizu is a stage name, right?"

The female fans have rebelled, as if they have been completely caught up in the plague called [Asama fanaticism].

"Lord Asama!!!"

"As expected, those wearing red hats are so handsome!!!"

"Did drummer Sakurai really pass away? Doesn't that mean Asama can stay in OAW forever!?"

"When I get back, I'm going to draw a fanfiction about Super Attacker Asama-sama and the four wells. These four empty wells should be filled up!!!"

"Great! I like it! Don't listen to me anymore, go back and paint!!!"

There was a large-scale pushing and shoving among the OAW female fans.

Asama's family and friends standing in the first row had already witnessed Asama's drumming skills.

Only Futami, Yamashita, Fukasawa, and Takashi, who understand rock music or can play drums, understand the terrifying dominance that Asama is now displaying.

One song reshaped a popular band that had been working together for a long time.

"Futami-san, has Jing been practicing drums these days?"

"No, I only practiced it for a while yesterday. For the piece I played today, Shizumi-kun only practiced it three times~"

Dahui touched the head of his girlfriend who seemed a little depressed.

"Don't worry, Li, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Think positively, the master is right beside us, isn't he? The meaning of rock and roll is definitely not to surpass someone or become the number one selfish idea."

Ryuzaki listened attentively to other people's reactions and shook his head. Rock music was a complete waste of Asama Shizumi's talent.

He should just write lyrics about freedom, equality, justice and love, and stamp those idiots with their thoughts!

"The hat Yue Hai Jing Shui is wearing should be Rishi's hat."

".Well, I remember Jingshui-kun said that this hat has symbolic meaning. Maybe they have communicated with each other. I hope more people will pay attention to this red hat."

"Symbolism?"

"There are a lot of rock stars wearing hats. Looking at what Risei-chan is wearing today, it's probably [Anti-Authoritative Revolution]."

"I see. That fits Shizue's personality very well."

Pochi asked Futami,
"Xiao Yuehai, what is the current level of Ah Shui's drums?"

“Absolutely a master-level level.”

Pochi showed a distressed expression, but suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Does Xiaoyue Hai know bass?"

"I know a little."

"Well, that means you are really good at it. How about you teach me how to play the bass? Risei-chan can play the drums and guitar anyway."

"."x2
Jiandao also wants to learn bass. After all, a lead singer without an instrument doesn’t seem very rock and roll.

The audience was filled with shouts for an encore.

Asama ignored the OAW lead singer's pleading eyes like a puppy, and picked up the snare drum and went on stage.

The earrings hung down to her pretty face, and that expression made her look so effeminate.

With his death, the workload of Infinite Social Security increased several times.

In short, the place is extremely dry, several levels dryer than the forests in Canada this year.

Someone wanted to rush onto the stage and force Asama to sit in front of the drum set and play drums all night.

Some people also took off their shirts, hoping to keep Asama on the stage for a few more seconds.

These people overestimate themselves.

Asana took off his hat and prepared to find the rehearsal room of Uzui and the others to return the hat.

Sawada, the lead singer of the band Mizuno Gemini, whom he had met once, blocked Asana's way.

"Asama-kun! Our drummer is feeling unwell. Could you please cover for him?"

".Is he allergic to peanuts too?"

"Eh???" (End of this chapter)
