Young people with light music will not encounter lonely rock music

Sato Aiko seems to be the kind of person who puts too much enthusiasm into things that interest her.

Although she didn't practice an instrument or join a band because she liked rock music, becoming the editor of a band evaluation website seemed like she was working hard in her own unique way.

After all, she seems to be about the same age as the girls in the band. She has a lively and cute personality, even a little like a child.

To become an official magazine editor at a young age definitely requires a lot of hard work behind the scenes.

but......

Sometimes this enthusiasm is really overwhelming.

——This is what Kotobuki Hikari felt and thought at this time.

"The band has finally announced the production of an album. Many people have been waiting eagerly for it. However, no news has leaked out before, so can you tell us what songs are included in the band's first album?"

Very official and formal question.

And to such a simple question, Yijizhi Hongxia only responded in a panic.

"Ah... In the album, all the songs that our band performed on the stage before have been included. Well... there may be some people who haven't played our previous performances..."

Afterwards, Ijichi Hongxia listed all the songs included in the album one by one.

It was obviously an interview about the new album, but for some reason, Sato Aiko just asked a few basic questions, ended it, and started interviewing the band members.

"Kotobuki-san is the keyboardist who ends the band, right? No wonder, in most of the songs you composed, the presence of the keyboard is extremely strong. Instead of just being a foil like those of beginners, it's not even what it should be." As the protagonist, the guitar was overshadowed. He is a songwriter with a very strong style."

Like a judge on a food show who tastes the contestants' creations, Sato Aiko said a series of words that were difficult to understand.

"Right, right? Kotobuki-kun is very good. Not only does he play the keyboard well, but he also sings well. His guitar playing skills are not inferior to those of Xiao Yili."

As if showing off the most important asset of his band, Ichichi Hongka patted Kotobuki Hikaru's shoulder and said proudly.

"He is a complete all-around player. Such excellent rock musicians are really rare."

"Of course. After all, Kotobuki-kun used to be a pianist in a symphony orchestra."

"Eh...it's obvious that many people who play classical music look down on rock and roll...but they still come to be keyboard players in such a small band."

Sato Aiko looked at Kotobuki Hikaru thoughtfully.

"So, Kotobuki-san must like rock music very much."

"Well..." Kotobuki just nodded with a blush.

"By the way, Kotobuki-san is probably the mysterious boyfriend in the video of Guitar Hero teacher's first concert with someone."

"Well, it counts..."

What Aiko Sato was talking about was the video the two of them recorded together on the school rooftop after the performance at the cultural festival.

I heard from Yili that the number of hits is quite high, but the reviews from fans seem to be mixed.

Well, after all, Guitar Hero is said to be a beautiful high school girl who looks very cute and has very good guitar skills. The important thing is that Oppai is also very big...

So there are also some fanatical fans.

Although he boasted about having a boyfriend on the Internet, the so-called boyfriend never appeared.

And when it turns out that a man actually appeared in her video, and the two of them performed together...

Naturally, there are some little guys who can't stand it.

However, Kotobuki Hikari doesn't care about this at all.

"Speaking of which, as expected, the ending band has two different composers. I thought it was possible when I saw the videos of your performances before."

"Eh - can you actually hear this?" Yiji Zhihongxia asked in surprise.

"Anyone with a little knowledge can tell that the styles of Mr. Kotobuki and Ms. Yamada are completely different... Well, don't tell me yet, let me guess."

Sato Aiko fell into thinking and was silent for a while, then slowly spoke again. "It should be those songs that Kotobuki-san composed, Unravel, Nameless Monster, Godknows, Inexpressible Love... right?"

"I really guessed it all right——!"

Itachi knew that Hongxia had changed her impression of Sato Aiko.

Originally, in Hongxia's opinion, Sato Aiko was just a star-struck little girl who only knew how to mess around, but now it seems that she still has a few tricks up her sleeve.

"Miss Sato is so amazing..." Kita was also a little stunned.

"But...even if I guessed the first two songs correctly, I guessed Godknows and Inexpressible Love correctly...even for me, there is a big gap in style between these two songs and the previous ones."

He experienced a lot during that time, and Kotobuki felt that he had undergone some subtle changes.

Of course, it’s not just me who has changed, Yili has also changed a lot.

"What I'm talking about is not the style of music... but..." Aiko Sato was looking for words to express her meaning.

"Compared with Ms. Yamada's compositions, your music has more personal emotional components... How can I put it... If Ms. Yamada's music is made for the audience, Mr. Kotobuki's music is more like When creating for someone, the emotional catharsis is more obvious, and of course, the lyrics are also more straightforward..."

"what......"

Kotobuki Hikaru and Goto Kazuri turned their heads away in a tacit understanding.

"That's amazing...Ms. Sato, you just listened to the music and you know everything. Are you a detective?"

"No, I'm just a copywriter who likes rock music...because I like it, so I can hear it."

"Mr. Kotobuki looks very handsome, and he is very charming when he plays. The odd pages are very good. Really... If he has his own account on the oil tank, he will definitely have many fans."

"I'm not interested in that kind of thing." Qinbuki spread his hands.

After all, I am already busy all day long. If I still want to be a little internet celebrity like Yili, just thinking about it is terrifying.

And it’s true that I’m not interested. After all, I don’t expect to make a living by being an online blogger.

"Besides, rather than me being popular alone, I still hope that the band can gain more fans."

"Kotobuki-kun's songs are all written for Xiao Yili."

Ichichi Hikaru whispered into Sato Aiko's ear.

But even though he lowered his voice, after all, several people were sitting very close to each other, so everyone listened to everything he said.

"Well - this is totally an infatuated man."

Snapped--!

Kotobuki covered his forehead.

It's such a shame to be said like this.

"By the way, Xiao Yili is also the lyricist of our band."

"How... how is it possible?!"

Sato Aiko's face was full of shock. "How could someone who writes lyrics so straightforward that they feel like a confession could be a Guitar Hero teacher!"

"It's a long story. In fact, it was a small one in the beginning..."

"Don't...don't say it! Don't say it again!"

Goto Kazuri stopped with a shy face, and used a high-pitched voice that completely suppressed the volume of Ichichi Hongka's voice.

The love letter he wrote so hard was regarded as lyrics, turned into a tune, and even played. This was a shameful memory that Goto Kazuri had completely sealed away and did not want to recall.

If you tell Sato Aiko about this, it will definitely, definitely be written in the magazine!

In that case, wouldn’t others also know?

This isn’t just about being socially awkward in front of the band’s mates, it’s likely to be a topic of conversation throughout the industry.

Just thinking about it makes me want to die.

"What's going on...Does it sound interesting?"

Sato Aiko tugged on Ijichi Hongka's sleeve and continued to ask.

"Don't say it!"

Goto Ichisato rushed over and forcefully inserted his body between Sato Aiko and Ijichi Nijika, blocking Nijika who was about to speak.

At this point, the topic was dropped.

The interview that was about to deviate from the topic finally got back on track again.

"Speaking of which, the guitarist who ended the band was obviously the Guitar Hero. This should have been a selling point, but judging from your previous band activities, you have never mentioned this matter."

Aiko Sato asked.

There is such a big player in the band. If it were an ordinary band, they would definitely introduce the guitarist of their band every time they perform.

But even now, not many viewers know that Guitar Hero is ending the band.

"Ah... that's because... Xiao Yili doesn't want to reveal his identity." Ichichi Hongxia said. "So...even after we found out that Xiao Yili was the Guitar Hero, we didn't announce it."

"After?" Sato Aiko tilted her head in confusion. “Didn’t you know the identity of the Guitar Hero teacher at the beginning?!

"Actually, when Ichiri Koichi and Kotobuki-kun joined the band, I had no idea they were so good... and I had no idea that Ichiri Koichi was the Guitar Hero."

Recalling the memories of when the band was first established, the girls' mouths couldn't help but curl up.

For them, that time was definitely the happiest time since forming the band.

"Speaking of which, I said at the beginning that I would like to let Xiao Yili watch Guitar Hero videos to learn guitar skills..." Itichi Hongxia said while suppressing her shyness. "Ms. Sato may not believe it. At the beginning, Xiao Yili's playing was absolutely terrible! She was completely at the level of a guitar beginner!"

"Interesting...really interesting!"

Should it be said that all girls like to gossip?Hearing such a topic, Sato Aiko became interested and burst out with even stronger enthusiasm than during the formal interview just now.

"Please tell me carefully. If this story is published, it will definitely be noticed by many people!"

"Eh... is... is it?"

Itachi Hongxia looked at the other members of the band, her eyes seemed to be waiting for a response.

No one stopped him, Goto Ichiri was already curled up in the corner of the sofa and lost in his inner world.

"Even I felt incredible when we finished creating the band... Ms. Sato, at first our band was just me and Ryo, then Kita volunteered to be the guitarist of our band, and then for the first time He suddenly ran away before going on stage!”

"Ugh...what a terrible guy..."

Sato Aiko's eyes changed when she looked at Kita.

"That matter... I'm really sorry!" Kita apologized again in a panic.

"It doesn't matter...we don't care about it for a long time." Yi Jihongxia shook her head casually.

"What happens after that?" Sato Aiko asked.

"Then I was about to perform on stage, so I casually walked around in the park near the livehouse and found a wild guitarist named Xiao Yili. I pulled her to help, but I didn't expect that I would get A genius keyboardist.”

"Then the Guitar Hero teacher shows up and saves the show that's about to fail, right?!"

Sato Aiko's eyes shone, and before Ichichi Hongxia could speak, she guessed the plot behind it.

"Uh..." Itachi Hongxia's eyes glanced to the side. (￣ー￣)

"Actually, that performance was terrible... Xiao Yili's performance was terrible. Even though it was just a warm-up, he was still kicked off the stage by the audience..."

"How could this happen?" Sato Aiko said in disbelief.

"Because Xiao Yili... how should I put it, has some social anxiety and is not very good at performing in front of others, so his performance is very bad when he is nervous..."

"As expected, everyone has shortcomings..."

"But it's much better now! Xiao Yili is like a shining star every time he performs."

"Then, Kotobuki-kun and Koichiri joined our band...and then Kitaya..."

Ichichi Hongka took it upon herself to narrate the interesting things that happened from the beginning of the band's establishment to the present.

For example, Kita doesn’t know how to play the guitar at all. When he bought an instrument, he even bought a six-string bass. Kotobuki turned into a naked heavy metal maniac whenever he touched the guitar. When he performed for the first time, he was hit by a typhoon. Before the cultural festival, for Yili can shine in the audience and make a handsome guitar solo...

As we chatted, it was getting dark before we knew it.

Listening to the story told by Ichichi Hikaru, Sato Aiko did not feel bored at all.

Finally, Hongxia ended the story.

"I didn't expect that there would be so many interesting stories since the band was founded... It will definitely become a wonderful interview."

Sato Aiko packed up the interview equipment and announced the end.

"Thank you very much for today's interview, Ms. Sato, thank you for your hard work."

"It's nothing. I'm very happy to be able to interview my favorite band."
