As Long as We're Not Embarrassed
Shuya reluctantly replied, "It's alright."
He didn't want to embarrass them too much.
He didn't think the song was anything special, but it's generally about the same level.
Shuya felt that his expectations had become very high because he had been spending more time with his Little Senior Sister.
We need to adjust our mindset and not judge these songs by too high a standard.
"It would be great if we added a dance to it."
Aoki Shin.
"Dance?"
Um...
Shuya imagined Mai- chan wearing a light and airy idol outfit, dancing on stage to a lively melody.
"It seems pretty good, mainly because she's cute."
"Really."
So the focus is still on Mai- chan.
The two echoed Shuya's words.
Then Aoki Shin revealed his true purpose. "The song is finished, but I feel it's still not enough."
Shuya: "What's not enough?"
Aoki Shin: "Impact. I've already had someone choreograph a dance for this song to see the effect. But how should I put it? It just doesn't have that... 'This is idol!' feeling?"
"Ha..."
Shuya listened to his words and found them quite baffling.
Horiuchi Susumu explained, "Actually, I mean, what methods do you have to increase the otaku vibe of this song?"
Aoki Shin laughed, "That's right! I know Shu-chan knows a lot about this... you're a veteran anime fan."
"Yeah, Shu-chan, you're a total otaku."
"No, no, no! I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore."
Shuya got goosebumps all over his body; he felt offended.
Section 650, 606: As long as we're not embarrassed.
"How to add a homebody vibe to songs...?"
Shuya didn't show it on the surface, but he actually thought it was very indifferent.
Moreover, he's not good at these things.
Even though he studied music under Ayako Ishikawa, his creativity was still quite limited, and his music career basically relied on plagiarism and his Little Senior Sister.
This is practically the same as cheating.
Their demands put him in a difficult position.
Shuya simply couldn't be bothered to bring out songs from his past life for them.
In his mind, his Little Senior Sister and these two old men were not on the same level.
"Emmm."
Shuya didn't want to put in the effort, but he couldn't just refuse outright.
He said, "Actually, it's not necessary to modify the song; putting in the effort live will be just as effective."
Horiuchi Susumu understood what he meant. "Live on-site? You mean something like cheering or something?"
"Yes."
"We'll have someone perform Wota-gei's piece then, but I still feel like the otaku vibe isn't strong enough."
Shuya almost threw up. "This isn't thick? It's a lethal dose, okay?"
He personally doesn't like this kind of thing; it's too confusing.
He thought to himself, "Why don't you guys try searching for 'Ota-gei'? The first result for 'Ota-gei' is 'Kimo,' okay?"
Aoki Shin said, "This wota technique is too common, so..."
Shuya: "... Play it again so I can hear it."
He rested his chin on his hand and listened to it again.
After listening, he recalled the rather long interlude and thought of something.
A standard post for giving a shout-out...
That's something that many people have etched into their DNA.
Shuya hesitated for a moment, then decided to use it to deal with Aoki Shin and the others:
"Could you please bring me paper and a pen?"
"Oh! I knew Shu-chan had a way! Wow, a master of anime!"
"Damn it, stop talking!"
"If you curse me again, I'm going to explode, you believe me?!" Shuya thought angrily.
He took the pen and paper and wrote down the origin of all evil.
"Let the audience learn this phrase and cheer along with the interlude; I guarantee it will be a huge hit."
"Let me see... Oh, Kimo!"
"Kimo!"
Aoki Shin and Horiuchi Susumu blurted it out.
Shuya: "?"
Damn, if you think Kimo is the best person, then don't ask me for help!
While they're right, this thing really is kimo.
"ガチ...."
Aoki Shin, fighting off goosebumps, muttered, "I have something to say! Mai- chan is just too cute! I love her, I love her so much! I really love her! The princess I finally found... ki, kimo..."
Goodness, he scored twice!
He paused for a moment before continuing, "... The reason I was born is to meet Mai- chan! Let's spend the rest of our lives together! I love you more than anyone else in the world! I! Love! You! --- I'm so wicked!"
A third time!
Horiuchi Susumu gasped several times, completely stunned.
They looked at Shuya and fell silent.
Shuya also looked back at them.
The atmosphere was unbearably awkward.
"Ahem... Shu-chan... how about... how about you demonstrate?"
"Aoki Shin said in a low voice."
That's enough.
Shuya cleared his throat lightly. "It's so simple, you can try it yourselves."
"No, no, no, I still need guidance from you, the original author."
Horiuchi Susumu's tone was strange.
He thought this thing had a strong otaku vibe (meaning it was very kimo-like), but there were some parts he didn't quite understand.
"Well."
In fact, the moment Shuya took out this final draft, he knew there was no escaping it.
Fortunately, he has a thick skin, and he could barely manage to read it aloud.
"Play a song."
Okay.
Shuya waited for the interlude of the song and started to sing along with the melody. "Words come out! Come on! Mai on!" (Japanese content, please refer to the above)
"...やっとつけたお!"
"...ア?イ?シ?テ?ル!!"
"Call..."
Shuya wiped the sweat from his brow after finishing reading it.
"How about it?"
He turned his head to look at the two of them.
They looked at each other, and said:
"... It seems pretty cool."
"Once you accept this premise, it's actually quite fun."
"One more time!"
"Shu-chan! Shu-chan! Shu-chan!"
They started jeering, showing signs of getting a little carried away.
"Damn it, I just can't do anything with you guys!"
Shuya also turned on the strange switch.
Aoki Shin sang again.
Shuya's fingers tapped the table in rhythm with the melody, making a rhythmic tapping sound.
The interlude begins again:
"Words are the same, they are the same! They are the same as Mai's..."
When the song ended, they all started swaying to Shuya's rhythm.
Then Aoki Shin continued playing music, and unconsciously swayed his head to the rhythm of Shuya tapping the table.
Horiuchi Susumu also started shaking his head, Shuya saw them doing this, he also started shaking his head.
They started shaking like the classic trio who went looking for prostitutes tonight.
Shuya shaking and read out again in the interlude, "Yan いたいことが..."
Aoki Shin hummed. "あるんだよ..."
Horiuchi Susumu shook his head. "やっぱり Mai -chan はかわいいよ..."
The three exchanged glances, gradually abandoning their shame, and their actions became increasingly arrogant...
A flurry of actions, as fierce as a tiger.
"---ア?イ?シ?テ?ル!!"
"Hahaha!"
"One more time, this stuff is addictive!"
Without realizing it, their voices became more and more synchronized and louder.
We're totally hyped!
... As long as we don't feel awkward, then it's everyone else who feels awkward!
