Young people with light music will not encounter lonely rock music

"Oh, you can see our album when you come in."

After Ichichi Hongka entered the record store, she saw the album of the closing band in the most conspicuous and central place after entering the record store, and she made a sound of surprise.

In fact, normal record stores mostly sell records of pop singers and idol groups.

Generally, only bands that have signed a contract with a record company will put their albums in record stores for sale. Even if the Free Band produces records at their own expense, most of them only sell them during performances.

Therefore, everyone who ended the band felt extremely happy that their band's albums could actually be sold in record stores.

"Ah... I'm so envious. Even my band didn't receive the same treatment as you when they released their album."

A barrier formed around Hiroi Kiuri, who smelled of alcohol. No one would want to approach a hungover drunk, so even behind the crowd, there was still an open space around Hiroi Kiuri.

But she was used to being treated like this in public and didn't care at all.

"Hey, Ms. Hiroi is actually coming to Shimokitazawa? Isn't your band playing in Shinjuku?"

Among the crowd, several people recognized Hiroi Kiuri.

"Ah... I'm here to buy the first album of my important juniors. What a coincidence... I also have my fans here, hehehe..."

"It turns out that Ms. Hiroi knows the ending band... Then I need to buy more to support it."

"Eh? Really? Thank you so much."

Hiroi Kikuri looked a little carried away and joked a few words with the fans skillfully.

The band she is in is a free band that has been active for a long time, has accumulated a lot of experience, and has countless fans. The rock circle is so small, so it is not surprising that there are people here who recognize her.

"We are really far from Miss Hiroi's band." Kotobuki Mitsuru comforted her.

Although I also know that Hiroi Kiuri said such words before, he was just teasing and encouraging them.

Like a bookstore, the albums of the last band were placed on the central display table, piled up into a small mountain.

In the center, there is a warning sign.

[The first album of the popular band 'The End Band', "Lonely Rock", is on sale on the first day! 】

There is also a line of small print below.

[Limited to purchase two tickets per person]

"Why are there still limited purchases? When idols and the like release albums, don't some people buy dozens or even thousands of copies at once? This is too unfair."

"But if someone buys so many albums, they can also participate in meet-and-greet and handshake events during idol activities...Does Hongxia also want to hold fan handshake parties?"

Yamada Ryo naturally picked up his band's album and looked at it carefully.

"Well...it's scary just thinking about it...Although they are all fans, rows of people are shaking my hand one by one. It's completely unacceptable..."

Yijizhi Hongxia shuddered, and her original prejudice against those idols suddenly disappeared.

Make money, don't shudder.

And it must not be easy for them to be able to smile and shake hands with others all the time, and even endure harassment from some strange guys.

"But... the charge of 1000 yuan for a handshake is still barely acceptable."

As if a door to a new world had been opened, Yamada Ryo's pupils dilated for a moment.

"Ryo! Stop your bold ideas!"

Things like fan meetings...sometimes scandals happen.

For example, there was a well-known underground idol group that held a meet-and-greet after the release of its first album, where as long as you purchased more than a thousand copies, you could stay alone with the idol in a room and talk for 5 minutes.

But it is said that some people even sold their property to get the opportunity to meet, and even sexually harassed them in the room, and even showed their unwashed penis to let the idol stare at it for a full 5 minutes.

If this kind of thing happened to me, it would be better to die...

Itachi Hongxia patted Ryo Katayamada on the head. "Besides! Even if it's a handshake meeting... it's definitely self-humiliating for you and me..."

The girl looked at the other three people standing aside.

Events like handshakes and meet-and-greets...

For these two drummers and bassists who were already lacking in popularity, it was an almost despairing memory.

"It's a pity that I can only buy two. I was thinking of buying them as Christmas gifts for my sisters."

Kotobuki Mitsuru picked up an album.

The production process is very good. The outside of the album is made of good transparent plastic. The shell is made of hard plastic like glass instead of cheap soft plastic. The printing technology is also very good. The color of the title page has no color difference. Through the plastic case, you can see a CD inside.

Before the release, the band had actually received a sample of the album from the record company, but it didn't feel down to earth and real when it was first received...

Sure enough, I was really happy after receiving it in the record store.

"Christmas gift......"

Gotou Ichiri, who was standing next to the boy, was silent for a while.

The body is clearly standing in the record store, but the mind is not sure where it is.

Today is Christmas.

"Although it's a pity that we can't buy more, we don't just want to make money. If it's limited, wouldn't it allow more people to hear our songs?"

"Wow... Kotobuki-san really regards money as dirt..." Kita couldn't help but sigh.

"What's wrong with making a little more money?"

Yamada Ryo just cast a somewhat disdainful look.

It's not that everyone can't resist the temptation of money...

However, if you think about it carefully, if the album can sell well, as the producer said, selling tens of thousands of copies, then it will be at least tens of millions in income for the band to end...

Tens of millions... Even if the band has to be divided among five people, one person can still get several million.

This is something that these high school students who have never had much pocket money can't even think about.

Just like walking down the street and suddenly discovering that you have won the lottery, I have been dreaming about a string of zeros in my bank account recently.

And it is said that the animation that participated in the production of the opening theme will also produce a single CD after it is broadcast, and they will also have a share of the revenue share.

"Anyway, if one person can only buy two, then so be it."

Kotobuki Mitsuru picked up the two albums and put them into the paper bag given by the clerk when he entered.

"Senior~ Lend me some money~"

Yi Ji Xingge looked helplessly at the drunkard rubbing against his arms.

"Why did you come here to join in the fun?"

I wanted to complain from the beginning.

After all, if it weren't for Hiroi Kiuri, his true identity would not be exposed.

And, what... the taste of senior is unmistakable...

This statement is too perverted!People who don’t know the truth will definitely cause misunderstandings!

"There's nothing wrong with it. I finally waited until the release date of Xiao Yili's band's album and went to the record store. It would be a pity to just leave empty-handed."

"It's just this time...I must pay back the money."

After all, she is a junior in her own university. Although she has a strange personality, which can even be said to be bad, her original intention of borrowing money was just to support her sister's band. If she didn't agree to even this small request, it would be too aggressive. .

Moreover, even if he is unwilling to lend her money, Kotobuki and Pochi will definitely lend her money.

Hiroi Kikuri has a criminal record.

"Obviously, I used to be a junior with the temperament of a literary girl... Why did she become like this..."

"Isn't it my senior who taught me how to drink? Why are you still saying these things now?"

"But I didn't teach you to be a drunkard who messes around all the time."

Not long after, everyone had selected the goods and went to the long queue in front of the checkout counter to pay.

Yamada Ryo seemed to have bought some CDs that she had wanted to buy before but had not had time to buy. Under her instigation, she tricked Kita into buying a lot of them on the pretext of learning other bands. The two of them bought a lot of them. The bag in his hand was bulging.

"Thank you for your patronage, please invite the next guest."

After the people in front paid their bills and left, it was Kotobuki Mitsuru's turn who was at the front of the group.

"Oh... I didn't expect a few people to come in person..."

After seeing the band members, the cashier in front of Kotobuki suddenly spoke.

"Huh? Do you know us?"

"Giggle...I'm also a fan of yours. Since it's not far from your live house, I go to almost every show. I'm really lucky to be able to sell albums of my favorite bands in the store where I work."

"Thanks for the support..."

If you didn't like music, you wouldn't work in a record store... In other words, if you work in a place like this and hear it every day, it's hard not to like music.

"So can you give us a discount?"

After hearing the previous conversation, Yamada Ryo leaned out half of his body.

"Sorry, Dartha."

"what......"

She obviously said she was a fan, but she was so ruthless...

“Please be cheaper!”

Yamada Ryo pretended to be pitiful, imitating someone's appearance and winking at the clerk.

"No, I don't have the right to give discounts to customers privately..."

The clerk just smiled wryly.

Yamada Ryo secretly smacked his tongue.

"Why doesn't this trick work for me..."

This unscientific.

"Okay, don't wait any longer. There are other people queuing up behind you."

Kotobuki Mitsuru urged him, and without staying too long, he waited for everyone to pay and then left the store.

"I didn't expect it would take so long just to buy an album... It's already noon."

After walking out of the door, Yijizhi Hongxia took a look at the time.

In fact, I didn’t waste too much time buying things. Most of my time was spent communicating with fans.

Obviously the album has just been released, but fans are already concerned about the next performance and when new songs and albums will be released.

However, this also reminded several people in the band that the band has been dormant for a long time since making the album.

The release of the first album is just the starting point for the band, and it is definitely not the end. Therefore, they need to work hard to write new songs, perform performances, and prepare for the next album.

However, even those top singers can release an album a year very quickly, so there is no rush.

"Then... that! Xiao Yili, can you give us your autograph!"

Two familiar figures appeared in front of Goto Kazuri.

"what..."

The two fans of Ichiri Goto who went in before everyone else had obviously been waiting in front of the store for a long time.

"Good...good!"

Or...this is the first time someone has come to ask for his autograph.

From the time he first joined the band, Goto Kazuri had secretly practiced his signature in notebooks countless times.

And now, the hard work that has been done is finally coming to fruition.

Two fans handed over the band album they bought and a marker pen.

"Hmph... Xiaoyili is really popular."

Ichichi Hongka teased and looked at Goto Isato, whose cheeks were blushing.
