In today's society, whether popularity or capability is the king, it's really hard to say. But what is undeniable is that... popularity is essential.
Perhaps according to Bocchi and the others' ideas, Kessoku Band will slowly start up. But a band formed at their age will inevitably face a fatal threat.
Graduation—
Unknown numbers of campus bands or campus idols in Japan disappear after graduation. Even if fans know that the idols they support are still in contact, how much of their past enthusiasm can they bring out?
That is to say, ambition and an upward path are very important.
For example, that Ohtsuki Yoyoko just now, her specific band strength is unknown, but debuting for a long time yet only being a locally famous band, they will definitely be forced by their families to make a choice after graduation.
Either go full-time to develop the band, or find a job peacefully, and the band is just a hobby.
Although very realistic, it is very normal! Another example is Ijichi Nijika's sister Ijichi Seika, who is said to have formed a band when she was young, and the popularity was not low at that time. But now...
Perhaps due to the withdrawal of other members, or perhaps due to family reasons, Ijichi Seika put down her band dream and peacefully became the proprietress of a music bar.
Becoming a famous guitarist is Goto Hitori's dream! And as her teacher, Hayasaka Ai expressed that she will definitely help Bocchi fulfill her dream!
"Bocchi! I just watched your MV, how should I say..."
Goto Hitori scratched her head. "Maybe somewhat bad, after all, it's our first time shooting an MV."
Hayasaka Ai sighed. "Then let me put it euphemistically... This MV of yours, in my opinion, is not even as good as low-quality AV!"
"Eh??"
Hayasaka Ai chuckled. "Simple scene, only a few of you, the camera doesn't even shake. Ends after playing a song. What's the difference between this and a short AV?"
Uchiha Ryo pulled Hayasaka Ai. "It's not good to say that. After all, AV can still make people's blood boil."
Hayasaka Ai grabbed Goto Hitori's hand. "In short, you guys reshoot the MV for me this weekend. I will come to help."
"You really care about it..." Uchiha Ryo complained.
Clearly unrelated to herself, Hayasaka Ai wanted to spend her rare holiday time helping Bocchi's band.
Hayasaka Ai patted Goto Hitori's head. "This child, I consider I watched her grow up until now."
Uchiha Ryo: "Ah???"
Goto Hitori: "Mo... Mom?"
...
Reshooting the MV was quickly agreed upon by other members of Kessoku Band, and Hayasaka Ai also quickly changed into... Manager Hayasaka.
That's right, following Maid Hayasaka, Gyaru Hayasaka, Pure Hayasaka, and Teacher Hayasaka, Manager Hayasaka makes her debut.
First of all, speaking of their first released video, rather than calling it an MV, it's better to say it's a practice performance.
Most young people nowadays look for music on video websites. An MV with high views can promote a band more effectively.
Actually, the best way is to spend money to find professionals to shoot the MV, but Kessoku Band... all four people are very poor. Ensuring performances at the music bar is already very difficult, there is really no extra money to find someone to shoot an MV.
"In short, let's formulate an MV plan first..." Hayasaka Ai found a whiteboard and recorded on it properly.
On the other side, Uchiha Ryo leaned back in his chair and scrolled through his phone boredly.
Uchiha Ryo, who rarely visited YouTube usually, was actually watching a game live stream! But the reason was not that he liked this game or the streamer very much, but he accidentally heard a familiar voice.
"You are still so bad, Enyun. At this level, we can't survive to the final circle at all." The player named [True Man] complained.
"Stop nagging, give me the sniper rifle. Have you heard of seventeen shots in two seconds! Let me show you my hand speed!"
A girl's voice sounded, but in the lower right corner of the screen, a 2D cat girl was speaking.
These two voices...
Why do they seem like Ishigami Yu and Enyun-chan? Could it be an illusion! Uchiha Ryo continued to watch.
Number 3 Shiranui Sister spoke: [Number 1 Brother is very amazing. Want to team up together? Me and my sister are both here.]
Number 4 Shiranui Sister spoke: [The game is so hard... I haven't gotten first place until now.]
Number 1 True Man spoke: [Hah? It's very strenuous for me to carry one. Carrying three is purely sending myself to death. Also Enyun, you shoot fast, but accuracy is zero, right! Don't waste the gun, give it back quickly.]
The owner of this live stream room is player Number 2, which is the VTuber with the game ID Enyun-chan.
Ignoring the comments frantically spamming [Straight Man Cancer] and [This fits the ID very well], Uchiha Ryo clicked into Enyun-chan's homepage.
According to observation, this VTuber is a newcomer who suddenly became popular recently. The live streaming time is no more than two months, but attracted a lot of fans because of gimmicks, being bad at games, and a nice voice.
If Guitar Hero has fans of two Tokyo Domes, then Enyun-chan has reached the level of ten Domes in just two short months.
Is she really a genius!
Uchiha Ryo couldn't help frowning. This ninja cat is doing much better than he imagined. Unexpectedly she can already support herself.
Actually, what Uchiha Ryo didn't know was that after the establishment of the cat cafe, Enyun-chan began to look for other ways to earn funds.
Although the master is rich, after all, there is the help of the Shinomiya family behind him, but if she wants money, she must sign unequal treaties to earn G points.
So! Enyun-chan thought of becoming a VTuber! This is another live streaming method completely different from electronically synthesized virtual anchors that does not require showing faces.
But what Enyun-chan herself didn't expect was that the effect of her multiple live streams was unexpectedly good.
Returning to the live broadcast room again, Uchiha Ryo saw the team wipe scene as soon as he entered. Even though Student Ishigami killed two people alone and crippled one, he couldn't carry three rookies.
After one round ended, the four added each other as friends, and player True Man quit the game.
Then... three female rookies actually teamed up to start a squad game! Every strange man who joined the team lost himself in the gentle words of "brother" one after another, and then fell under the hail of bullets.
Turning off the live broadcast and not watching Enyun-chan harm players, he turned to send a LINE message to Ishigami Yu.
"You actually started live streaming with Enyun. When did it start?"
A minute later, Ishigami Yu sent an incredibly shocked expression.
"Holy crap!! She... she was actually live streaming!!"
Okay, Uchiha Ryo overestimated Ishigami Yu. This guy has actually been deceived by Enyun-chan all along. Not only carrying her in games but also contributing program effects to attract comments.
As expected of you, Enyun-chan! Without spending a penny, invited program effects and a carrying big brother, and even concealed the fact of live streaming.
After all, even Ishigami Yu, if he knew about the live broadcast, couldn't be so open.
Mn, Uchiha Ryo appreciates the cat's intelligence and wisdom very much. Why not bestow the noble surname Uchiha on this ninja cat who has a name but no surname? She should be moved to tears, right.
