What's Wrong with Adding One More Genius to Omni-Anime?

But given her proud and aloof nature, how could she possibly lower herself to directly ask her "arch-rival"?

Wakana Rei, Nioh Riona, and the others also surrounded her, quite curious about it.

Even with their professional skills, they can't be considered true industry insiders yet, and they're quite curious about what contracts real industry professionals have like—they must be complex, detailed, well-organized, and with clearly defined boundaries...

"Huh?" Tamade Chiyu quickly glanced at the few thin sheets of paper and exclaimed in disbelief, "How come there's only this much!"

And...

"What kind of conditions are these?! They're way too lenient!!!"

If you were to ask who in RAS is most knowledgeable about this, it would definitely be her.

Not only does she come from a musical family, giving her more experience and access to the field, but she's also a producer. She's the one who reviews and handles the invitations people send her—even though she seems like a haughty young lady, she's truly a genius.

However, she lacks the talent to play any musical instrument, which is why she needs to form a band to realize her musical dreams. In the band, she serves as an ambient DJ who doesn't need to play any instruments.

With just a quick glance, she realized that the contract was outrageously lenient in its obligations and offered incredibly generous benefits...

She looked up at him intently, as if she were looking at an incomprehensible creature.

"You! Are you out of your mind?! You actually dared to give them this ridiculous contract?!" she roared in a fit of impotent rage.

She understood instantly the meaning behind the other person's mocking gaze.

At the same time, they also learned why Minato Yukina and the others chose a small, unknown, and newly established company.

If it's this kind of contract, it's almost impossible for her to find an agency with terms comparable to Roselia's.

Damn it! Was this all part of their plan?

That despicable Ogura Asahi! That Minato Yukina! How dare they subject me to such a humiliating disgrace!

A few minutes later,

"Although I'm not very familiar with this, aren't these terms pretty good?" After briefly reviewing the contract, Sato Masuki looked at Wakana Rei and the others with a questioning gaze.

Wakana Rei pondered, "Based on my experience as a support Bass, this is quite good. At least, I haven't heard of any other bands or singers receiving this kind of treatment."

Is it fair to say they're childhood sweethearts?

Like Hana-dono Tae, she is also a super hard worker.

In addition to occasionally participating in harmonies and providing harmonies for other singers, she also has the work of recording audition demos and playing Bass behind the scenes.

And, like Hachiman Kairin, he served as a support Bass for many bands and orchestras, making him one of the first generation of super Bass.

"Sure!" Tamade Chiyu gritted teeth, "These conditions are not a normal business contract at all! They're an out-of-standard children's game!"

"Asahi Kokura! What exactly did Roselia promise you that made you willing to sign this contract with them? Why?!"

Chu2 simply cannot understand what the motivation is for any business owner to offer such an olive branch.

"Maybe... it's because of love?" Ogura Asahi blurted out without thinking, and couldn't help but laugh at herself.

The main reason at the time was to save his own life, but now, whether he signs or not, he can maintain good relations with them, and the situation is no longer critical.

A larger proportion is probably for people who want to have fun.

It satisfies both her physical needs and her desire as a band collector, while also fulfilling her pure ideal of helping others realize their dreams. In the future, we might even see them bickering and fighting Band Showdown... It's truly a win-win situation.

"My purpose in founding [Sakura Rain] was not to make money, but to enable the bands, singers, and other people I like to fully unleash their talents and realize their dreams."

"So, even if I lose money, it doesn't matter, I'm happy."

The five members of RAS were speechless for a moment. "They're happy to lose money, what's it to you?"

Rather, in a situation like this, anyone with common sense would know what to do...

"Um, if we agree to sign the contract now..." Asahi Rokka asked hesitantly, raising her hand.

"If someone can admit their mistake and apologize, then it's not impossible..." His gaze shifted hesitantly between the person and the air.

Stare~

Chapter 538 wasn't very exciting.

Chu2's face turned red; I wonder if she was touched.

That's probably it, at least that's what he thinks!

"Chuchu?" Wakana Rei with his eyes, asking for her opinion.

Although the contract terms are indeed very tempting, it still comes down to this: they are a band, and they must and can only stand together through thick and thin.

If Tamade Chiyu refusing no matter what, they will have no choice but to give up regretfully.

After a moment of anger, Tamade Chiyu bit her lower lip, feigning an indifferent and haughty demeanor. "Hmph~ Even if the contract terms are generous, it's just a newly established small company. What resources could it possibly have?"

"Minato Yukina won't be long before they regret their rash decision to only look at the contract and not conduct any background checks!"

Even though she knew they weren't exactly naive and simple people, she couldn't help but think that these were her archenemies!

--Only she herself thought so.

In fact, when it comes to actual organizational, planning, and practical abilities, aside from her Tsurumaki Kokoro's direct use of money, Roselia is probably the strongest.

After all, they are all shrewd and efficient, each one a man of few words, and all down-to-earth people who get things done.

Often, due to the excessively dense schedule of live performances, daily training, preparations for professional tournaments, BanG DreamChallenge competitions, and inexplicable hostility from some newcomers... they would practice until the entire group collapsed in the recording studio, unable to move.

Even Shirabe Rinko, the only heiress, is Social Anxiety Disorder and doesn't take the initiative to do anything proactive.

On the contrary, last year she was responsible for making costumes for everyone, managing the school's Student Council, sharing the various tasks of organizing solo live performances with her teammates, and daily training... She was the busiest one!

Therefore, how could they possibly be careless about the most important thing?

Even if they could fool Shirabe Rinko, who had been the leader of the King of Roll, and Minato Yukina, who had aspired to become a professional since childhood; even if Minato Yukina made a mistake, there was still the meticulous Hikawa Sayo; even if Hikawa Sayo forgot, there was still Imai Risa was there as the band's mother to provide support.

The only one who's easy to fool is Ako- hime, a high school sophomore with a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Music aside, their average skill level is terrifyingly high!

The only downside is that everyone is so individualistic, so Imai Risa is needed to mediate and smooth things over in order to maintain the relationship.

Ogura Asahi chuckled, knowing she was going to say that, and closed her eyes dismissively, saying, "Is that so? But the reason Yukina and the others chose us is because our company is backed by Avenx, huh~"

"..."X 5

Anyone working in the music industry in Japan, even before their official debut, is bound to know the name of this top-tier entertainment giant.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the ultimate goal for all musicians, including them, is to join one of the top three record labels.

However, they might not necessarily be interested.

"By the way, because I have a close relationship with the chairman of the other party's board of directors, I have the authority to mobilize any resources that Avenx has, and with considerable priority."

"..."X 5

So, what would be a better scenario than joining one of these three companies?

Of course, it means enjoying resources without bearing any responsibilities or obligations—but that's no different from dreaming, it's just wishful thinking!

But, ironically, some people have turned such dreams into reality...

"Oh dear, what should I do? I went to all this trouble to come all this way over the weekend, only to be met with such a cold shoulder!"

"%&#￥...!"X 4

Although no one spoke, the piercing gazes of the other four were all fixed on Tamade Chiyu, making her tremble involuntarily.

She only acts willfully occasionally, but she still has a sense of right and wrong and basic manners.

Even when she gets angry and can't help but kick over a roadside trash can, she always picks up all the trash and then puts it back up.

"I understand..."

Helpless and alone, she accepted reality, obediently bowed her head to him, and sincerely apologized weakly. "I'm sorry, I spoke a little too loudly just now, I apologize~"

"Hmm~ This child is teachable~" He sat on the sofa as steady as a mountain, accepting the situation calmly.

He leaned against the sofa, nimbly rose to his feet, and snapped his fingers with a smile, "Alright, let's do the company tour later. Now, let me see your performance skills!"

Next up! It's time for his praise – a personal, exclusive live performance!

The others readily agreed, but CHU² remained expressionless, showing neither excitement nor humiliation, and shouted, "PAREO!"

"Yes, Lord Chuchu!" Nioh Riona stepped forward, bowed, and gestured to invite him, "Please come with me, Lord Asahi, the recording studio is over there!"

The others also looked serious and were on high alert.

If before I was just having the same ordinary mindset as before, now I'm genuinely eager to join and sign up.

As mentioned before, if it still hasn't passed after Roselia, it would be incredibly embarrassing.

He walked out of the living room through a single door and followed them along the outdoor corridor to another rooftop building.

The polygonal building is entirely a top-notch professional sound mixing and recording studio, thanks to her parents' professions.

After entering the recording studio, he stood in the control room outside the glass, which had a row of mixing consoles and audio workstations. Several people, including Chu2, went into the performance room inside.

Inside, there's not only a grand Piano, but also Drum Kit and other instruments—just how many Piano does she own?

"Miss Ogura, what song would you like to hear?" Wakana Rei asked him, picking up the Bass that had been custom-made and gifted to her by Tamade Chiyu.

Not only her, but everyone else was given a set of custom-made musical instruments as a welcome gift for joining the band, which shows how extravagant he was...

Putting aside his spoiled, childish nature, he really went all out with the gifts—who wouldn't want a wealthy teammate?

When filming the music video, she directly hired a professional team that is very difficult to book, and they took care of everything.

In stark contrast are people like Toyama Kasumi, who have nothing but enthusiasm and connections.

When PPP was making the music video, they simply dug out old photos and invited bands they were on good terms with, such as HHW, Roselia, AG, and PP, to take a bunch of photos with each of them.

The photos were finally edited together and used for a quick photo wall exhibition, which turned out surprisingly well.

However, it's hard to say how much of that is just to see the guest bands.

"Hmm~~~" Ogura Asahi thought for a moment, then ordered... oh no, ordered a song, "How about 'Beautiful Birthday'?"

This is a birthday song written by Nioh Riona for Tamade Chiyu. He composed and wrote the lyrics himself, and in his mind, it is a divine song comparable to "R. I. O. T".

"Eh? This one?! I'm so shy~~" Nioh Riona fidgeted in front of the Keyboard, covering her cheeks.

Tamade Chiyu's expression changed slightly; after all, it was a song dedicated to her, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Wakana Rei had no objections and gestured to the others with her eyes. "Then let's begin."

Asahi Rokka removed her sealed glasses, her gaze fixed, and a surge of fighting spirit rose within her as she resolved to create a melody even better than her live performance!

Nioh Riona moved her blue and pink hair slightly, her long, slender fingers tapping the Keyboard. Because it was her writing, the Keyboard occupied a large portion of the space, serving as a prelude.

A few seconds later, Wakana Rei pressed the Bass and spoke into the microphone:

"Beautiful Birthday~~"

I'm glad I met you.

"Cold dream piercing thorn ah ah light (light that pierces cold dreams)"

I need you right now.

"Dazzling and dazzling, holding everything in my arms tightly"

"..."

The clear sound of the performance, recorded by the professional equipment here, is transmitted to the control room without any sense of loss of sound.

Whether it's the incredibly rich and varied vocals of Wakana Rei, or the flawless, professional, precise, and emotionally charged performances and DJing of the five members, it's all so captivating that it makes your ears feel like they're pregnant and your eardrums are buzzing and vibrating.

Unlike PPP's sunny and uplifting spirit, HHW's joyful energy, PP's cuteness, and R Group's magnificent mystery, their style is luxurious, vibrant, rock and roll, and energetic!

It was immediately obvious that this was a new era of rock art, which he thoroughly enjoyed.

The only thing I want to complain about is: is it really appropriate to make the birthday song so energetic?

Four minutes passed in the blink of an eye. The final burst of energy ended, and the five people looked away from their instruments, their eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness as they gazed at him.

After an unbearable silence of about ten seconds, Ogura Asahi gave her assessment. "Not very exciting~"

"Can you sing one more song? This time, I want 'R. I. O. T'!"

"Uh..." Rather than playing another song, the phrase "It wasn't very good" dealt a heavy blow to their spirits!

They clearly thought they were pretty good at it...

"..." Wakana Rei glanced at Chu2, who was clenching his fist in displeasure and about to explode, and quickly announced the start, "Then, the next song... Ready!"
