"Sing this song?"
Everyone was a little surprised, not because the song wasn't good.
Although there was no musical score, through Tanaka Masao's recent Singing, the few of them could still write a score and compose Music, but...
Kita Ikuyo was the first to voice her doubts.
"But the style of this song doesn't seem very suitable for a band to perform on stage, does it?"
Yamada Ryo also nodded.
"Exactly, this song is a bit too un-rock and roll."
Yukinoshita also came online in a timely manner.
"When a band performs on stage, they normally choose songs with a faster rhythm and a more passionate overall style.
Only then can they stir the audience's emotions, make the performance atmosphere lively, and achieve the best performance effect.
Although 'the sea' is a good song, it is obviously not suitable for on-stage performance; it is more suitable for listening quietly alone in a room late at night."
Tanaka Masao deeply agreed with Yukinoshita Yukino's point of view.
"Exactly, imagine, after a day of exhaustion, finally being able to lie in bed, listening to this song quietly and contemplating life—what a pleasant thing that would be."
Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino glared fiercely at Tanaka Masao.
"You shut up!"
"Yes."
Facing everyone's persuasion, Goto Hitori shook her head and said very seriously,
"No, I don't mean to perform it on stage. I want to sing it myself, because I feel that the style of this song is somewhat similar to mine.
I really like it, and I want more people to hear this song."
"Oh, Bocchi-chan is fired up!"
"Who says this isn't rock and roll? This is extremely rock and roll!"
"Since Bocchi-chan said so, then I'll lend you a hand as well.
The equipment in this practice room is quite complete, so I'll leave it to Bocchi-chan to practice and record the song."
"I can compose Music, so leave the score to me."
"I can play the piano, and this song is suitable for piano accompaniment, so leave that job to me."
"I can..."
Kita Ikuyo heard that Ijichi Nijika, Yamada Ryo, and Yukinoshita Yukino all offered help.
She also wanted to contribute her part but found that she seemed to be a Music novice and couldn't do anything in this area.
"I can't do anything, but I can serve you tea and water, and give you a shoulder massage."
Just as everyone was contributing their part, putting in effort and shining for the creation of the song, showcasing the bonds of friendship, and about to elevate the theme,
That hindering troublemaker always appeared at the right time.
"Kita, then please pour me a glass of water, and my shoulders are a bit stiff, please give me a massage."
The excited group looked at Tanaka Masao, who was already lazily sprawled on the chair.
Yukinoshita Yukino spoke up.
"Tanaka-kin, it's not time for you to rest yet. Your work isn't finished."
"What else do I need to do?"
"Singing, of course. You only sang it once just now, and we can't remember it at all. How can we write the Music like that?"
Tanaka Masao nodded.
"You're right, I can't do anything with you all. Since you want it so much, I'll do it again."
Saying that, he adjusted his emotions and sang the song again.
"That's not enough, Tanaka-kin, do it again."
"What, again?"
"Again, again."
Looking at the expectant eyes of the five girls, Tanaka Masao found it somewhat impossible to refuse.
"Alright then, just one more time."
And so, Tanaka Masao began his third time...
"Mōikkai! Mōikkai! (One more time, one more time)."
"What? Again?"
Tanaka Masao was already a bit tired and didn't really want to continue, but the five girls cheered him on simultaneously, and a surge of passion rose in his heart, making him reluctantly do it one more time.
In the end, Tanaka Masao sang a full seven times. He felt his throat was almost smoking, so he quickly drank some water and finally recovered.
However, the others didn't care that he was almost done for; they were still clamoring for him to continue.
At this point, Tanaka Masao's head, which had been clouded by passion, finally cooled down.
He entered a sage mode, and his thinking ability greatly improved.
"No, you guys are doing this on purpose, aren't you? Why don't you record it? Why do you keep making me sing?"
Ijichi Nijika, Kita Ikuyo, and Goto Hitori felt a little guilty, wondering if they were being too excessive in exploiting Tanaka Masao.
However, he had also done something very excessive to them earlier, so this could only be considered well-deserved.
Yamada Ryo, on the other hand, had no psychological burden or guilt whatsoever and explained,
"Oh, you mean recording? The effect isn't good; there will be noise that affects my composition. It's better to listen to a live performance directly."
"So, how's your accompaniment coming along?"
"Almost done, it's almost done. I have inspiration now."
"You haven't written anything at all!"
"Tanaka-kin, you don't need to worry about these details."
Yukinoshita Yukino stepped forward to assist Yamada Ryo.
"Yamada is also working very hard. Tanaka-kin only needs to focus on Singing, while Yamada-san has much more to consider.
It's not a simple matter to compose a song's melody into an accompaniment; inspiration is very important."
Tanaka Masao looked at the two of them, half-believing.
"Really? Don't take advantage of me being an honest person."
Everyone: You, an honest person? If you're an honest person, then everyone in the world is a big sucker.
Yamada Ryo nodded affirmingly and said,
"Exactly, Tanaka, you're an amateur and don't understand accompaniment. My composition needs to consider style, melody, harmony, instrument coordination, and so on, which is a very complex and tedious job."
Tanaka Masao thought about it, and it was true. A good song might not take long to write.
But creating a good piece of Music that can be widely circulated takes a long time.
He had heard that some people take several years to compose a piece of Music.
Good melodies are even reused; just add some lyrics, and it becomes a new song.
Seeing that Tanaka Masao was convinced, Yamada Ryo then said,
"However, seeing how hard you're working, Tanaka, I'll just have to make do a little."
She took out the recording equipment and said to Tanaka Masao,
"I'll just record it once and use that for now."
Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head beside him and sighed.
"Oh, it's all Tanaka-kin's fault for not being good enough, making Yamada-san have to make do. How can she compose a good piece of Music like this?"
"It's alright, Yukino, you don't have to blame Tanaka too much. He's also having a tough time."
With the two of them playing off each other, Tanaka Masao bowed ninety degrees and apologized.
"Hontō ni sumimasen (I'm truly sorry), I'm not good enough to satisfy you all."
