Game Market 1983

If Erica's first song, "Cheerleader" for you, was a song for people who had finished their weary everyday lives, then her second song was a very impressive song of heartfelt lyrics by a girl in love.

Unlike the first song in a relatively quiet atmosphere, her appearance of singing along with the fluttering rhythm of Ukarelle had the power to make her smile on her own.

Her face, closed up on the screen, winks at the audience, instantaneously heating up the live hall to the point that decibel points to 100 dB.

“Wow… it's huge! ”

Kanna, who approached me one day, looked up at the audience and was amazed.

I shrugged my shoulders in surprise when I couldn't even hear the sound of her approaching steps due to the music coming from the speakers and the screams of the gamers.

“Are you a little relaxed? ”

“I didn't know it when I was in the waiting room, but I'm trembling at how full the audience is. I bet Aoi's preparing a live event in Osaka right now feels a lot like me, right? ”

“Maybe so. ”

Hamazaki Aoi, who plays Kono Azsa, was the youngest of the trainees chosen to be the Virtual Idol Group. She's 12 years old this year, a freshman in middle school.

Thanks to him, I was also a one-of-a-kind creature among the trainees.

It was the same at the launch event before, but I was a little afraid of the stage, so I was not more anxious than other heroes.

I took a deep breath and looked at Kanna for a moment and spoke to her.

“You gonna be okay?"

Kanna opens her eyes and replies.

“I'm going to rock the stage with my song. ”

“Huh…? I think I heard it somewhere. ”

“That's what my sister said at the launch ceremony. ”

“Oh, right. ”

The knight was the name of the asteroid that played Cheryl in Virtue Idol.

She always played the role of Idol's eldest sister with confident tone and mobility.

He was the same age as Tsubaki, but like the characters in the game, the articles in the mature image were popular with other trainees.

"It's kind of heartbreaking to limit one person here..."

Looking at Kanna calling out to herself while checking her stage outfit, I turned my head to the screen to try to hide my bitter expression.

Virtual Idol's first live.

The Erica VS Azsa performance was fortunately underway.

After the announcement of a new song. Kanna's experience in street performances was truly a shining moment in the part that changed each other's title songs as scheduled.

With her singing without losing her smile in the spectacular light and spotlight, many people applauded her, and Kanna finished greeting the audience after the last stage, the last stage, and a small voice came out of the audience, wanting an encore.

“Anchol!! Anchor!! Anchor!! Anchor!! ”

“One more song!! ”

“I came all the way from Fukuoka. Too bad to go back like this!! ”

“I'm from Hokkaido!! ”

“Sing Tsubaki's song for me again!! ”

“Oh, right. Erica's version of" hug me. "" It was good. ”

“Anchol! Anchol! Anchol!”

Kanna looked at me with an embarrassed look on the stage for a seamless request from the audience.

Even I was stunned at her live that was so great that I was only listening to her songs, so the reaction of the audience was a moment that made sense to me as well.

But here, singing Tsubaki's song again allowed me to finally play another song that she used to sing before, just in case it would have some effect on her life next week.

Then Kanna also nodded, looking at me from the center of the stage, and took off the first verse of the song with her eyes closed.

“The first moment I saw you. I knew my love was sad...”

At that moment, the expressions of the users who were shouting anchor in the audience became stiff.

“Huh? This song... is it? ”

“No way... No way!! ”

“Phew... awesome. ”

“Was she the one singing the endings of God's gift? ”

Earlier this year, Kanna's "Gift of God" ending was a song that brought the online community to life.

Many people found a record point in front of the station that they could hear it at a street performance in Harajuku, but she no longer sang there after contracting with me.

Instead, she was able to download her music separately through a handset installed in the Pentagon Shop, which to date has been so popular that it was almost 100,000 downloads.

“I never thought I'd hear this song here...”

The users were dumbfounded by the unexpected gift they received and were immersed in her song.

“I wanted to say I love you, but I'm walking around with you all day, afraid I'll find this feeling in my heart. ”

The end song of God's gift that seemed to warm up the living hall that was full of heat calmed the atmosphere of the audience according to its name.

Soon after her last song ended, the people in the audience got up from the couch and applauded her as a curtain approaching Kanna's head bowing to the audience.

I didn't sing this song myself, but seeing this scene makes me so overwhelmed. How did Kanna feel when she sang it onstage?

I also applauded her courage for overcoming fear and successfully completing the LIVE.

&

[Amazing. Amazing!! It really creeped me out in the last anchor!!]

[Oh, if I had known this, I would have gone too. I can't believe Erica's meteor was the one who sang the ending to God's gift.]

[I told you before that the two songs sound alike. I was too mean to say anything funny at the time...]

[Zephyr, this is one of the people I was posting nonsense about. It's too late now, but I sincerely apologize. Hung Hung...]

Two days after Erica's live event.

Virtual Idol's online community was full of stories about Erica's rainfall.

As a result, the end song of God's last gift from Erica's Live worked for users.

Thanks to this, Erica's debut point for two days showed an enormous impact that would have caused her to leap up about 1.5 times.

“Director, are you in Virgil Idol's community chat room again? ”

“This is also market research, of course. ”

“Yes, of course. ”

Hayashi, who was looking at me at the side seat, nodded with a bleeding smile.

As I looked back at the monitor, I said a word to Yashi Yashi.

“You said you were going to see Kaori's wedding dress tomorrow, right? Is this the third time?”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Tomorrow, will she be able to pick out her favorite dress? ”

There was one thing he couldn't endure, no matter how stubborn his personality was, it was shopping with Kaori.

Thanks to her checking out at least five stores to buy one item, Hayashi chose furniture to enter the newlyweds, but now she was nervous when she only heard the ‘show’ in shopping.

Having such a simple attention to life, Hayashi, who didn't have much household appliances at home, was putting all her strength into her newlyweds these days.

However, due to Kaori's whimsy that she didn't like the wedding dress to wear at the ceremony, Hayashi went around the wedding shop all weekend and had to write until tomorrow to pick out her dress together.

“Director, was marriage this hard? ”

As I stared at the monitor for Hayashi's question, I swiped my chin down and polished my voice for a moment.

“Hayashi, this shopping with Kaori you're doing...”

“Why are you suddenly so anxious?”

“It's like a prologue of a very, very long story. ”

“Huff...”

“Do you remember how I was delivering ice cream to Yuki all last year on my way home? ”

“Ugh...”

However, when I think about it, Yuki was not as polar as Kaori, so it was also true that Hayashi felt a little pity.

‘Cheer up.Hayashi... But there's a good side to getting married. ’

Erica's battle with Azsa ended with Erica's victory.

The number of visitors to the live event was similar, but as a result Kanna had a far superior advantage in attracting the audience.

I finished one big event like that, but I had no time to breathe.

Immediately, there was a live performance of Tsubaki and Cheryl this weekend.

In particular, I was also very excited about this performance because a new song by Tsubaki was scheduled.

On behalf of the second song that I recorded in advance, there were many things to prepare inside the company, but I had to give up the animated live footage that I had prepared for the first time.

And secondly, the hospital wouldn't let her out, so she had to broadcast from the hospital's installed auditorium to a two-way live feed.

Thanks to this, the staff preparing for the performance had to give up quite a lot to consult with the hospital where Tsubaki was hospitalized.

And as time passed, Cheryl and Tsubaki's performance day approached.

First, Tsubaki's live event took place at the event hall at Pentagon Shop No. 2.

Originally, her live, which was supposed to be the day of the launch of Complete Raon, took a full month and was back here.

And Cheryl's stage against Tsubaki was held in an event hall in Ueno Park, where a lot of people were gathering in front of the live hall from before the event, like the protagonists who recorded the game's soft finish.

I suddenly thought, when I was using the camcorder to capture the crowd before the performance.

"If Tsubaki had seen this, he would have loved it..."

Buying Goods items for Tsubaki at the event.

And after the photo shoot, the fans who confirmed the live tickets using Raon finished filling the auditorium, a message from staff at the hospital said they were ready to perform.

As I confirm the text messages, I give the instructions to the staff, a ringtone announces the start of the performance at the speakers in the live hall.

“Wow, you're finally listening to LIVE. ”

“Too bad I didn't see the show at the launch, but it won't be cancelled again today, will it? ”

I sent a call-in to announce the beginning of the performance with a resolute heart in the voices of the audience full of anticipation to face her.

Tick...

As the light from the ceiling turned off and the surroundings became dark, I remembered her wearing stage clothes on a giant screen.

She smiled at the camera as she grew taller than before.

She smiles at us across the street as the camera lights come on, and starts singing straight away without any explanation.

As soon as I heard the first verse of the second song she wrote herself, teardrops began to fill my eyes as I looked at the screen.

Hey, what if...

If only I could give up everything.

Would it be a little easier to live with a smile?

My heart aches again.

Don't tell me anything else.

Hey, what if...

If only I could forget everything.

Can we live without crying?

But now that I know I can't,

Don't show me anything else.

No matter how close I came to you,

I only have one heart.

Too much... Too much...

My heart goes like this

It's breaking, it's tearing.

And yet you hold me.

I'm not letting go...

That's it.
