Young people with light music will not encounter lonely rock music

Yamada Ryo's body once again showed that kind of arrogance that is not afraid of anything and doesn't care what others think.

"When the time comes, please don't lose to me."

The girl squinted her eyes and smiled, and continued to move forward.

He walked into the area illuminated by the street lamp and walked back to Kotobuki Hikaru.

Then, she suddenly turned around again.

"However, if you put it this way..."

"Ok?"

"Should it be time for Hikaru to pick up the guitar again?"

"Uh--!" Qinbukiguang's mind automatically replayed some not-so-good memories. "You just want others to see my joke, right?"

"Why should you care about other people's eyes?" Yamada Ryo said with a smile. “Even if it’s only a small group of people, as long as it touches people’s hearts, that’s enough.”

The girl moves on.

Watching Yamada Ryo's retreating figure, Kotobuki Hikaru fell into deep thought.

Chapter 1 I'll play the guitar

Now that they have decided to perform at the cultural festival, with the momentum visible to the naked eye, everyone in the band has become extremely serious when practicing.

In order to practice new songs, Goto has to practice guitar for more than six hours a day even after band practice is over.

Maybe that's why...

"what......"

Gotou, who had dark circles under his eyes, let out a tired yawn.

And it was precisely because of this yawn that the new song practice that was in progress gradually stopped.

"Are you too tired, Xiao Yili?" Yi Dizhi Hongxia cast a concerned look.

"Ah...yes, I'm sorry..." Seeing that the practice of the new song was stopped because of him, Goto Kazuri apologized quickly.

In fact, Ichiri Goto has almost figured out the guitar for the new song, but he still lacks the coordination when playing together with everyone.

Yawning is contagious.

After stopping practicing the new song, Yamada Ryo took the lead in rubbing his eyes and then yawned.

"Let's rest for a while." Kotobuki suggested. "Drink a cup of tea first."

"But...practice..." Kita, the hardworking person, was still worried.

"It's just for a while, it's okay."

Kotobuki Hikaru took out the still warm tea from the paper bag she brought to the Livehouse practice room.

"Let's listen to the new songs we prepared." He mentioned in passing.

"Eh?!"

"?!"

"?!"

And it was these inadvertent words that shocked everyone present.

"No... Kotobuki-kun, it's only been one day since you said you were going to write a new song - are you ready?!" Itachi Hongxia felt a little numb.

"Well, since the cultural festival is less than two weeks away, I'm working a little harder at home."

If you observe carefully, the corners of Kotobuki Hikaru's eyes also reveal some fatigue.

The slightly darkened eye sockets are still a bit obvious under the fair skin.

Ichisato Goto, who had been dozing off at first, immediately cheered up after hearing that Kotobuki Mitsuru had written a new song.

new song...

He said he wanted to write a new song for himself...

"Really, is it possible that Kotobuki-kun is the kind of genius who can compose divine music at will?!" Itachi Hongxia was angry and laughing at the same time.

Although she was happy that everyone was practicing hard, she felt a little angry because it was overtaxing her body.

"I'm not a genius. A real genius can write a song in 10 minutes."

Kotobuki Mitsu brought the folding table, unfolded the two tables, put them together, and placed the afternoon tea on them.

"Speaking of it, I'm still a little embarrassed..."

"what happened?"

"When I was recording this song, I played the guitar myself..."

"Really?!" Yi Dizhi Hongxia was shocked. "Kotobuki-kun plays the guitar again?"

"Kotobuki-kun actually knows how to play the guitar?!" Kita was equally surprised.

Although her seniors had said before that the way Kotobuki-kun played the guitar was strange, she had never seen Kotobuki-kun playing the guitar.

So the girl's curiosity was aroused.

I really want to hear how Kotobuki-san plays the guitar.

Although in the past, most computer synthesis was used when making songs, there is an irreplaceable charm to playing the guitar by hand.

"Could it be some heavy metal..." Yijizhi Hongxia couldn't help but feel worried.

"You'll know after you listen to it." Ryo Yamada put down the bass, came to the table, and ate a strawberry.

The fatigue on his face was immediately filled with the refreshing sweetness and disappeared.

"Guitar of light..."

Goto Ichisato also took the matter seriously and surrounded him as if he were on a pilgrimage.

After everyone arrived, Kotobuki opened the sound source file in the player.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the player in the center, and even the refreshments on the table were forgotten and ignored.

As a few drum beats sounded, there was a burst of gorgeous guitar strumming at high speed.

'No pleasantries, no announcements, the performance almost started when the drum sticks caught the melody and started beating, and the intro alone almost made me slide out of my seat. '

This is what Ichiri Goto feels like.

The sound of picking the strings is crisp and clear, and the speed is so fast that it is dizzying, but there is no disorder at all. The technique of hooking the strings is also perfect, without any mistakes.

But after ending with the guitar solo, the presence of the guitar is still high-profile in the song, and it still maintains a full sense of presence. Various guitar techniques that require a lot of practice to get used to are added without any redundancy.

What's worrying is that Kotobuki Hikaru only plays music.

There is no singing in it, and naturally there are no lyrics. The vacant singing and lyrics seem to be waiting to be filled.

However, the feeling is slightly different from the music composed by Kotobuki Hikaru in the past.

It seems...a little more positive and sunny.

Unlike the song that makes people feel a little heartbroken, this one makes people yearn for it.

It has the power to move people's hearts.

Generally speaking, the solo part with the strongest guitar presence will be placed in the middle of the song.

But in this song, the solo in the middle part is similar to the intro, but it takes on a more high-profile direction at the end.

In the last part, there is a very difficult and powerful solo that lasts for more than half a minute, ending with a unique guitar performance.

The song is over.

It seems that everyone has not recovered yet.

A few seconds after it ended, the girls began to look at each other.

"It really... seems like a song made just for the guitar..."

"The style also feels more positive, and it feels like it is a very suitable piece to perform at the school cultural festival!"

Originally, Ichichi Hongka was still worried that it would be inappropriate to perform music of this darker style at the cultural festival.

But if it ends with this positive song, then there is no need to have such concerns.

"Really, seniors, Kotobuki-kun plays the guitar very well!"

Hearing Kotobuki Hikari's guitar playing, Kita was completely impressed by the music.

She learned how to play guitar from Kazuri Goto, and listening to this piece, she felt that Kotobuki's guitar playing skills were definitely no worse than Kazuri Goto.

Look at yourself...

When practicing, the person who makes the most mistakes is himself.

In this case, I need to work harder!

Gotou Ichiri was still stunned.

If the lead singer on stage is the most visible presence in the band, the absolute protagonist of this song is definitely himself as the lead guitar.

"However, I feel that the guitar difficulty of this song is too high... Is it true that Xiao Yili can't force it?" Ichichi Hongxia asked worriedly.

It’s not that I doubt Goto Isri’s skills.

However, there was only a short period of time left before the cultural festival, and she asked Kazuri Goto to practice two new songs. She was worried that Kazuri Goto would squeeze her body and stay up all night to practice, and her body would not be able to hold on.

After all, the guitar part of this song is the hardest, the guitar part.

"I believe in Yili's strength." Kotobuki said resolutely.

He originally set up such a difficult guitar considering the strength of Goto Ichiri.

"Well... Xiao Yili is a guitar hero after all."

Thinking of this, Yijizhi Hongxia also became calm, and the tension in her heart suddenly relaxed.

"Ah...I, I will try my best!"

Gotou Ichiri reacted belatedly and showed a nervous smile.

Being called a guitar hero still makes her a little overwhelmed.

"Speaking of which, it doesn't sound like there is a keyboard in this song." Kita asked curiously.

However, she was completely ignorant about arranging music, so she wasn't sure.

"No, the track is just two guitars and bass and drums."

It is the three major pieces of the classic band.

Perhaps because he had been practicing the music written by Kotobuki Hikaru, Kita mistakenly thought that it was common for the band to have a keyboard player.

In fact, there are only the most bands that arrange music based on guitar, bass, and drums.

"Eh--so, Kotobuki-san, do you just fish on the stage? This is so unfair!" Kita protested.

"I play the guitar, Kita, all you have to do is sing."

"?!" Kita couldn't believe it. "Is this...appropriate?"

"It's impossible for you, a beginner, to practice two new songs in such a short period of time, and the difficulty level is relatively high."

Kita lowered his head silently and nodded softly.

Or is it because my skills are too poor...that makes Kotobuki-san think like this?

Goto Ichisato looked at Kotobuki Mitsuru with an unconcerned face.

I always feel like I can figure out some of his intentions...

If keyboards are added to the performance, it will more or less take away the attention of some guitarists.

Therefore, maybe Guang did this deliberately, just wanting to keep the most glorious part to himself...

The so-called worry about Kita may be just an excuse for not speaking the same mind.

"Kotobuki-kun plays the guitar..." Yijizhi Hongxia was miserable. "Isn't the cultural festival really going to be ruined because of this..."
