Half an hour later, the group of four arrived at their destination—a business district in Meguro District, Tokyo, which was now at its busiest stage.
The sidewalks are full of well-dressed young people. Compared with the mixed crowd of Shinjuku, this place is like another country.
When getting off the bus, Tsukishima paid the fare very "magnanimously".
“So expensive!”
Hina, who had not yet finished becoming a rich woman, was shocked by the 20% increase in taxi fares after 10 o'clock in the night. She took out her wallet, not wanting Teacher Tsukishima who came to help to spend money on her.
Tsukishima waved his hand and refused Hina's request to pay the fare.
Of course, the seemingly majestic class teacher looked calm and calm on the outside, but in fact he was bleeding inside and secretly vowed to let Shiraishi pay for this activity later.
"Did you see the sign of that KTV?" she asked Bai Shi, who was looking around.
"Tell Tsukishima-sensei, no." Shiraishi smiled and waved to her, while secretly telling Aoi Keisuke that he saw an ice cream shop in front of him that was famous on the Internet and wanted to try it.
Aoi Keisuke was about to go over and buy something for her when Hina suddenly said "ah" and pointed to the entrance on one side of the mall, saying that she saw Miss Kinoshita.
"Miss Kinoshita?" Tsukishima and Shiraishi asked curiously.
"It's "pinguinz"." Qinggui introduced to the two of them.
Tsukishima and Shiraishi looked at each other, and it was quite interesting to see a well-known online figure's vest suddenly being taken off.
Tsukishima lowered his voice subconsciously: "I forgot to search for her works in the car just now."
Shiraishi shook his head and said, "I forgot too!"
"Would you like to collect some information first?" Tsukishima took out his mobile phone, preparing to act like a decent person temporarily.
"Forget it, hurry up and don't keep people waiting."
After Shiraishi dealt with Tsukishima, he saw Keisuke Aoi's eyes still staring at the ice cream shop, and quickly patted his shoulder: "Stop looking, wait until the song is over."
"OK."
Hina didn't notice the interaction between the two, and ran towards Kinoshita Koiko happily waving her hands.
"Good evening, Sister Aiko!"
After this period of contact during the recording process, the relationship between the two has obviously become much closer.
"Good evening, Hina, Qinggui... and who are these two?"
Kinoshita Koiko looked surprised when she saw Tsukishima and Shiraishi. Firstly, it was because of their age, and secondly, when the four of them walked together, they really gave people a beauty attack.
With her critical eye as a professional producer, she couldn't help but have the idea of promoting their debut - these are a few treasured amateurs whose faces alone are enough to make the audience willing to spend money.
When Xina asked if she could bring two more, she thought they were just high school classmates.
Kinoshita Koiko immediately decided to listen to the singing skills of the two later. If they were at a passing level, she would recommend them to make a debut together to make money.
"Hello, Miss Kinoshita, I am Chizuru Tsukishima, Qinggui's class teacher. I'm taking the liberty of coming here. I hope you don't mind.
This is Shiraishi next to me, the school doctor."
Tsukishima shook hands with Kinoshita Koiko, and Shiraishi himself added: "Hello, my name is also Chizuru. I just came here to join in the fun tonight."
"welcome!"
The three adults chatted enthusiastically for a while, immediately creating a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere. Qing Keisuke and Hina looked at each other, and the future singer suddenly had the illusion that they had nothing to do with her that night.
"Let's go up first. I also invited others and they are already singing."
When Kinoshita Riko went upstairs, she re-introduced the band she was going to recommend to Hina to record a single with. It was a college student band signed under her office. There were five people in total, including a lead singer and guitarist, a lead guitarist, and a bassist.
He is a hand, drummer and keyboardist, and has all five organs. Except for his slightly inferior creative ability, his professional ability is quite good, which is more than enough for Hina to record her first single.
Because of Tsukishima's identity, Kinoshita Riko also talked about some things other than music, such as the band members' behavior style, the schools they studied in, etc., to show that they are innocent enough even for high school students.
As for why Hina’s parents were not the ones who came with her, Kinoshita Koiko, who is a musician, said she understood very well——
Because there are clubs in high schools, high school students like Neon who "make their own decisions" are everywhere.
The word "college student" is a signboard, which means that students have continued their studies and maintained some kind of pure and stable characteristics. In Tsukishima's eyes, there is no difference between "high school student" and "college student".
But what really puts Tsukishima's mind at ease is Kinoshita Koiko's calm and professional manner of speaking. She is better at understanding people than Shiraishi, an empty-headed idiot, so she has never suffered any losses from her big ambitions.
"Here we are, right here." Kinoshita Koiko stood on the stairwell and helped push open the black-sealed glass door.
The faint sound of music reached the corridor, and before a few people arrived at the door, a neat "Welcome" was heard.
Climbing the steps, several people followed Kinoshita's hand and looked into the glass door. First they saw the store's silver neon sign "lavishsound", then a group of well-dressed greeters and a lobby with high-end packaging.
"Wow, there are so many waiters!" Xina, who had only been to chain karaoke bars, immediately felt how powerful this karaoke bar was.
There is also a gleaming set of band instruments placed in the center of the hall, which looks expensive at first glance.
"Good evening, Miss Kinoshita, is everyone here?" The waiter in the store knew Kinoshita Aiko, and the head waiter came over directly.
"Yeah." Kinoshita Koiko nodded.
"Okay, please follow me."
Hina followed Qing Keisuke, looking around all the way. Occasionally she saw a fashionable girl wearing scantily clad clothes and shyly hid behind Qing Keisuke.
Under the leadership of the waiter, a group of people came to the door of the box. Fierce drum beats and bass neighing came from the cracks in the door, accompanied by bursts of cheers that sounded like monkeys.
"Funny, please come in." Kinoshita Koiko's face remained as usual.
"No matter where you are, singing requires this kind of atmosphere!"
Aoi Keisuke and Shiraishi looked at each other and silently gave the mature and steady Tsukishima a thumbs up - it would be better if she could stop being such a jerk in private.
Seeing this, the foreman retreated to the back early, bowed and watched the group enter the box.
Kinoshita Koiko pushed open the door of the box, and the sound of the musical instruments suddenly became louder. The four people in Tsukishima were surprised to find that the music in the box was actually played by real people.
In the spacious private room, there is a drum set and rock mic placed in the corner, and there are several output lines for electric guitars and basses on the ground. There is a large TV and a karaoke machine on the wall. Several people are sitting casually on the sofa in the private room.
Shaking his head and playing an unknown rock song.
"This karaoke shop provides musical instruments for guests to play, or you can bring your own. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to play, you can just request songs." Kinoshita Renko explained with a smile: "They are practicing their own band's new songs, and everyone can listen to them together.
.”
Several young people in the box had actually seen Kinoshita Koiko and the guests she brought, but they did not stop playing, but started shaking their heads even harder.
A young man holding an acoustic guitar stepped forward, held the rocking mic in front of him, and began to sing.
He was dressed simply and had neat short hair, but his voice was very clear and high-pitched.
