Chapter 111: Komaba School Festival (Part 2)

Unknowingly, the Komaba Festival has arrived quietly.

The fallen leaves on Ginkgo Avenue have long been cleaned up, and the campus is decorated with lanterns. In addition to the students of this school, many students from other schools have come here, wanting to spend this happy festival together.

On the sports field, which is slightly empty, it has been occupied by small stalls set up by students. Most of the things sold on these stalls are food, such as octopus balls, fried cod, oden, charcoal-grilled squid, etc. Because Japan is surrounded by the sea on all sides, they like seafood very much. The daily snacks are basically this kind of ingredients, unlike the barbecue stalls in China, which are mostly pork, lamb, beef, and chicken.

In addition to eating, there are of course many drinks.

Some simple ones are milk tea, and students who found empty rooms in the school even opened a few maid cafes. The senior sisters and junior sisters responsible for the turnover all put on cute maid outfits. When they met guests, they shouted in unison: Welcome, Master (Master), the boys who patronized them don't know how cool they are in their hearts.

In addition to these, there are many interesting game activities in the school, which are like amusement parks, and they are basically all free. Anyone can come and play happily.

However, these have nothing to do with Miss Luo Quan and others. Today, there is a performance in the morning, noon and evening, basically no time to rest, and everyone is a bit nervous, so there is no mood to play.

"Please gather the teams participating in the National College Student Singing Competition at the indoor gymnasium near the third teaching building. The first competition is about to begin. Repeat, please gather the participating teams at the indoor gymnasium near the third teaching building immediately..."

The campus broadcast has started to notify, but the participating teams have actually arrived long ago. Such an important competition must be arrived in advance.

A total of eight universities participated in this competition, among which the strongest are the participating teams of the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University. Both teams are bands that have already debuted and have considerable popularity. The champion is likely to be produced between these two bands.

As the host, the Lovemusic band was arranged to appear sixth, just after the Super band. This order can't be said to be good or bad. In short, this contest is to see who performs better and sings songs with more infection.

The indoor gymnasium where this competition is held is very large and can accommodate several badminton courts. The place where the players sing is a metal stage more than one meter high. There are lights on the head and ground, and the sound equipment is the latest and best temporarily replaced.

Student representatives from various universities who received tickets have long gathered under the stage, and there are many Japanese TV reporters conducting live broadcasts.

Lights, sound, cameras, audience, everything is ready. In the high-pitched voices of a male and female student host, the National College Student Singing Competition officially began.

It is said to be national, but it is actually just a gimmick. It is not officially held, but just organized by the University of Tokyo and several other schools. The competition allows bands and individuals to perform on stage. The first one to go on stage is from Waseda University, a girl.

"Hello everyone, my name is Yamazaki Yuko, and the performance song I brought to you is "Lemon"."

"Is it actually my song?" Miss Luo Quan smiled in the background. Speaking of which, this song has been quite popular since its release. Even the release of "Coming-of-Age Ceremony" did not affect the results of this song. So far, it is still ranked in the top ten in the Oricon chart, and only "Don't Give Up" and "First Love" can suppress it slightly.

"Is this a fan meeting?" Shen Gu Lingyin joked.

The accompaniment sounded, and the girl also opened her lips slightly.

Her voice is slightly childish, which is the baby voice often said. It must be very good to match the loli voice in anime, and I didn't expect that singing also has a different flavor.

The breath and pitch are very good. It can be seen that she has undergone professional training, which is better than Miss Luo Quan who just crossed over.

But when singing to the climax of the song, perhaps because of the continuous high notes, she appeared short of breath, and the breathing sound was also very loud, which is a very big deduction for the whole song.

From Miss Luo Quan's point of view, the girl's performance can only be scored as a pass at most.

At the end of the song, applause sounded. The girl smiled embarrassedly, bowed to everyone, and then said: "I'm sorry, I know I sang badly, but it has always been my dream to sing this song in front of my idol. Now the dream has come true, I am really very happy."

The girl said, turning her head to look at Miss Luo Quan, waving to signal.

Miss Luo Quan also smiled and nodded.

In a burst of applause, the girl's face was flushed and she went off the stage.

"Sure enough, it's a fan meeting." Miyano Natsuko sighed.

The competition continued. The following players were basically bands, with uneven strength, and the songs chosen were also based on Japanese rock, not the kind that was particularly high, and the atmosphere at the scene was a bit hot, but it was not completely ignited.

Then, the Super band went on stage.

Just hearing the host report their names, the students under the stage cheered excitedly, shouting the name of lead singer Kimura Hiroshi.

The "Re: make" that Miss Luo Quan gave to this band before can be said to have helped their popularity rise to a level, word-of-mouth exploded, once rushed into the top ten of the Oricon chart, and appeared on the MS program's hot song recommendation many times.

Now young Japanese people can basically hum two sentences, and there are quite a lot of videos in TikTok that use this song as Bgm.

In terms of popularity in Japan alone, the Super band is far beyond the Lovemusic band.

Although the repertoire they performed in the first competition was not "Re: make", it was still a hot song. As soon as the prelude was released, everyone knew which one it was.

The atmosphere of the competition scene was finally ignited, and the lead singer's strength, Gao Ge, once again showed everyone his strength. Although Kimura Yang's voice conditions are not as good as Yun Jingxiao's, his skills are obviously better, and the singing skills of the two can be said to be equal.

After a song, both on and off the stage were high, and some students even shouted "One more song!", livingly turning the competition into a concert.

Seeing this, everyone's expression was a bit severe.

"The opponent's strength is very strong." Ma Er said uneasily.

Shen Gu Lingyin also frowned: "Many of these students are their fans."

"Then turn them into our fans!" Yun Jingxiao hung the guitar on his neck and cheered everyone up: "We who carry the expectations of the University of Tokyo must win the competition today no matter what. Everyone must cheer up!"

Except for Miss Luo Quan, Yun Jingxiao is probably the most confident and optimistic one. He has always been like this.

"Next, please invite the University of Tokyo participating team, Lovemusic band to perform on stage!" The male host shouted with his loudest voice, and the students of University of Tokyo School under the stage also began to cheer for their own players, and the sound resounded through the gymnasium.

"It's our turn!" Miss Luo Quan got up and walked onto the stage with the team members.

The Lovemusic band's first competition repertoire is "The Phoenix".

When the cheers gradually subsided, the hearts of the band members also calmed down.

Before going on stage, they were still a bit worried, afraid of whether they would make mistakes on stage, worried about whether the results would be too poor, but after really standing on the stage, they were surprised to find that all concerns seemed to disappear, leaving only one thought, that is to perform this song well!

Miyano Natsuko took a deep breath, put her chin on the violin, and her right hand responsible for pulling the strings shook rapidly.

The rapid violin sound sounded immediately, followed by the drum beat, guitar and Yun Jingxiao's singing. This is a rock music that is high-burning from the beginning, and Yun Jingxiao is also exerting 200% effort at this time, wanting to use his passionate singing to infect all the audience.

Especially the long, long note at the climax of the end, the excited shout made everyone's skull cavity appear resonance together!

After singing a song, the Lovemusic band and the listeners under the stage were actually a bit sweaty.

In the thunderous applause, the band members smiled with relief, and then bowed deeply to the listeners.

This time, they can be said to be super-level performance. The MV that was re-shot many times was not as good as this live singing. It can be seen that everyone is very satisfied with this performance.

Objectively speaking, the performance of the Lovemusic band is slightly better than the Super band.

And the players who appeared later could not reach their height, simply making a striking foil for the Lovemusic band's performance.

The performance of the first round of competition has all ended, and it has begun to enter the voting link.

Each student participating in the vote will receive three tickets, and one round of competition can vote for at most one. If you think which one is good, vote for which one, and finally take the average value of the three votes.

Because many students watch the live broadcast with mobile phones, the voting channel is also carried out on the internet. Anyway, only 1000 students from each school are qualified to vote. This time 12 universities participated in the competition, and the final number of votes will not exceed 12,000.

And the final voting results totaled only 10,000, and a considerable number of students did not pay attention to the competition.

The votes for the first round were also counted. The Super band is currently ranked first, with more than 6,200 votes, while the Lovemusic band has only more than 2,700, less than half of the Super band.

Although everyone was mentally prepared, after the votes came out, they were still surprised and couldn't say a word. Shen Gu Lingyin and Miyano Natsuko were even pale.

"Sure enough, students from other schools still choose to support Kyoto University."

President Mizuno, who has been paying attention to the competition, pinched the disposable transparent plastic water cup in his hand with a click, and said with hatred.

"There are two more rounds of competition, there is hope." The vice president comforted him on the side, but when he said this, he was obviously a bit lacking in confidence.

"Now we can only believe in Yun Jing and the others, we must succeed." Mizuno Ryosuke prayed silently for them in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 112 =====
