Backroom
The girls and I made it to galaxy live house the girl who gave them the opportunity to preform introduced herself as Rokka Asahi and explaine that she was a Poppin Party fan. Right now were just chillin in the lounge backstage, Poppin Party got last pick so theyre up last. Right now a band called "Afterglow" is currently preforming. I just stood there watching them on the TV just captivated by their sound. I must say theve got a more "classical Rock sound" with their music.
Kasumi: Afterglow is so cool arent they?!
O-Tae: Theyre so confident
Rimi: Its their first time playing here but theyre so good...
I Guess I was so enveloped that I didn't realize those three were right next to me.
Arisa: Hey! Dont just Oogle at them! You need to listen
Y/N: Oh we are listening and they sound great
Arisa just pouted at my smart-ass remark
Y/N: So I take it you're acquainted with this band?
Kasumi: yeah! Ran-chan is the lead singer for the band Afterglow
O-tae: Mmhm whats cooler than their music is the bond that they share
Y/N: Meaning?
Rimi: Himari-chan said theyve been friends ever since they were kids and that they express that bond through their music
Y/N: I see...
Expressing bonds through music I thought...Thats such a beautiful concept they share with one another. I then began to think about my friends and the timed we've hung out during our downtime when we had days off, I remember back in kyoto whenever we had nothing to do everyone and I would just go down to the temple basement and just Jam out. Vince would always get me to play guitar with him, and Minami she would always teach me how to write and sing and Yuri...he was the one that got me interested in drums, he was really good at it and he taught me his way drumming...But the most important person of all was HER... She was the one who opened my heart to music and taught me how to play piano...those were good times...
???: HAPPY! LUCKY!... huh?
???: WAAAAAA!?
Out of nowhere, a blond haired girl and oranged haired girl came in bringing be back to reality and out of my thoughts.
Kasumi: Hagumi, Kokoron
Kokoro: Heee!? kasumi!
Hagumi: huh?! Ka-Kun
Kokoron?? That name somewhat sounds familiar...
Kokoro: Nee kasumi-Chan who's your new friend here!
Kasumi: Ah Kokoro, Hagumi, this is Y/N! Y/N this is Kokoro and Hagumi
Y/N: aye whats good guys
???: Hakanai~
Eh what? Out of nowhere a tall purple haired girl came in to the room with her face covered and Rimi kinda just fan-girlin to the side. She then looked at me and approached me .
???: Ahh I see we have a new acquaintance in our presence she said while still doing a flamboyant pose. Oh wont you give me your name young knight
YOUNG KNIGHT??? im sorry but I am far more worst than just a mier night no sir but for some reason her level of flamboyancy makes me want to challenge it for some reason. I then just stared at her.,
Y/N...(-＿-)
???: *Still flamboyantly posing*
Y/N:...(-＿-)
???: *changes flamboyant pose*
Y/N:...(-＿-)
???: *changes flamboyant pose but this time a sweat drop comes out of the side of her face*
Y/N:...(-＿-)
Kaoru's thought: have I offended this young knight somehow...
I then slicked my hair back and did something no one expected
*cue spotlight and mexican music*
I then started to do flamboyant poses myself to outmatch her level of flamboyancy and threw a rose in the air.
Y/N: *In the most seductive voice you can think of in your head*Young knight you say
I then started to do a little flamingo dance
Y/N: There once was a man who hailed from Isle of Tsushima, Who was known in Kansai as the "The Handsome Devil of kyoto" But in Kanto, He is known as Y/N L/N!
I ended that dance doing a flamboyant pose
Y/N: Please to meet you señorita
As the rose fell, I caught it with my mouth.
*end of random mexican music*
Rimi: GYAAAAAA~ ^////^
WHAT THE HELL? WHY ARE YOU FANGIRLING!?
???: O-Oh my... she began to blush at that
Stage Director: Hello Happy Youre next!
Rokka: I-I'll Introduce you! She said running out of the room
Kokoro: Eh? wheres Kanon and Michelle?!
Hagumi: Must be lost?!
???: W-well Farwell my k-Kittens and Y-Y/N she studdered
Hahaha I think I broke her a bit . They left the room going towards the stage. Soon after they were crowd surfing?... and made it to the stage. With no little time they began to play their Song called Egao No Orchestra r8ght as they got up on stage which had a theme-parkish and upbeat tune to their music which was quite interesting, on top of that they had a bear mascot who was their DJ. Whoever is in that costume must be really talented considering the fact that shes spinning tracks with those hands.
I looked at the drummer ans immediately
recognized her. It was the girl I used as a lure to get the student council out of the room! I didnt think that she was part of a band. To be honest I kinda felt bad for using her, She was really sweet and and genuine when she offered to help me!
As I watched Hello Happy world jump around and preform the door swung open only for the afterglow girls to soon follow through. A girl with
???: Im hot!
???: I feel like I lost 5 kilos
???: Oh totally! More like 10 kilos
???: That doesnt make any sense Tomoe
???: You shouldnt worry about those things Himari-Chan
The girl with short hair and a red streaked set her guitar down.
Kasumi: You guys were so cool out their
???: t-thank you she said shyly we just played like we always do
???: Looks like ran is turning a little red their
Ran: M-Moca!
She then turned around towards the TV and noticed me watching hello happy world. I turned around knowing someone was looking at me
Y/N: Oh hey! Afterglow right? You guys did great out there!
Ran: Thanks...she said blushing more
???: Hey who are are you the tall red headed girl asked me
???: Tomoe! Dont be rude!
Tomoe: ah sorry!
Y/N: Haha no its fine my name is Y/N nice to keet you guys!
Tomoe: well my name Is Tomoe Udagawa and im the drummer
Y/N: Yeah I saw, you got some pretty sick skills with the drums
Tomoe: Thanks man!
???: well I guess its my turn, my name is Tsugumi Hazawa and I play keyboard, its nice to meet you awee what a polite girl I thought to myself but that last name...it sounds familiar
Y/N: youre last name...Hazawa if im not wrong isnt that the cafe by Saayas bakery? I Remember seeing a sign like that on my way to school
Tsugumi: Ah Yes my family owns that cafe, you should visit if you have the time
Y/N: sure
???: Ooo! Im next~ My name is Moca and Im the lead guitarist
Y/N: Nice to meet you Moca! You got some pretty sick skills on the guitar yourself
Moca: Hohoho! First you flirt with Tomoe and now little ol me? Then again who can stand thr cute and adorable Moca-Chan~ she said in a slow and monotone voice
Y/N: pffft you wish I was flirting with you I retorted.
Moca: ooooh!...If thats the case you should flirt with this girl too.
Ran: MOCA!
She then grabbed Ran and put her kinda close to me which made me feel abit uncomfortable. I took a few steps back as for Ran she just got red faced and embarrassed which is UNDERSTANDABLE!
Ran: S-Sorry for that...Im Ran Mitake...Im the lead singer and rythm guitarist...
Y/N: Nice to meet you Mitake-san, I noticed the way you sing on stage and I Must say you put alot of passion into your music dont you?
Ran: Not particularly...I sing like I always do...
???: Nee Ran! Dont put like that he doesn't know you so he wont understand
A girl with green eyes and light pink hair then said popping out behind Ran
???: Nice to meet you Im the leader and Bassist of Afterglow Himari Uehara
She then reached her hand to me. Huh I didnt expect her to be the leader at all but I guess there's no rule about whos leader.
Y/N: Im Y/N nice to meet you I then shook her hand
Himari: I hope we can be friends!
Y/N: likewise
Suddenly the door Open and in came a new set of girls. The first to enter was a girl with golden eyes and grey hair.
???: Roselia desu lets put on a good show tonight
Ran: I didnt see you at rehearsals at all Minato-san I hope it doesnt affect your own preformance
Minato: We had our own rehearsals
Yikes! Looks like those two have some bad blood.
Soon after a few more girls followed-up two of which were familiar
Y/N: Ah see how it is Hikawa! You leave me and Ichigaya high and dry in the office just so you could do this? I see how it is now!
Rinko: Ah! L/N-san? Sorry...
Sayo:L-L/N-San?? Well sorry this came up last minute so I had to leave early
Y/N: Naww im just busting your chains, its all good, speaking of which we need to talk, its regarding the Kendo club and a certain incident that happened while you were dotting around with your band which by the way was something I didnt expect from you of all people.
Sayo: Now youre just being rude! But we can talk about it later right now we got a preformance
Rinko: Hikawa-San is right...
???: Ah Sayo Rinko is he a friend of yours?
???: Nee rin-Rin? Who is he? Tell us tell us!
Yukina: Toyama-San are you perhaps acquaintances with him?
Kasumi: YEAH! this Is Y/N L/N hes a classmate of ours and also a new addition to Popipa!
Everyone: WHAAAT??
Y/N & Arisa: WHAT THE HELL KASUMI! YOU CANT JUST SAY THINGS LIKE THAT!
I guess great minds really do think alike! cause he had the same Idea to scold Kasumi
Kasumi: whaaaaat you said you'd preform with us didnt you? =3=
Y/N: Not at all I said I'd leave it to you five dont misunderstand!
Arisa: Besides People will get the wrong Idea that he actually joined our band!
Y/N: YEAH!
Arisa then then stuck out her hand signaling her to give her a low high five which I happily Obliged!
Kasumi: You guys are mean T^T
Rokka: Phew
Jeez Kasumi you have little to no chill. Back to the girls who asked me who I was.
Y/N: Hello Once again I am Y/N L/N and would consider myself as part of Popipas friend group! and not the literal band! Its nice to meet you
Sayo: hes also on student council as our treasurer, assistant secretary, and embassador. Oh and hes also a thief too...
Y/N: Its not stealing If its yours in the first place I retorted
???: fufufu~ My name is Lisa, lisa Imai its nice to meet you
???: fufufu~ creeping forth from the depths of hell I, the dark princess ako is here to engulf the world with my uhhh...
She paused trying to think of words to say. If I had to say, I think shes a little chuuni... which is kinda adorable haha
Rinko: Sinful melodies she whispered to the little chuuni girl
Ako: SINFUL MELODIES! She said finishing up with a pose.
Like kaoru, I kinda just stared at her in silence.
???:...
Y/N...
Ako POV
Ummm...hes just staring at me...was a too wierd with that? Maybe it wasnt cool enough..OHH MAYBE I CAN TRY...
Y/N POV
Wanting to challenge ako I made my own chuuni pose
Y/N: fufufufu foolish mortal
Ako: waaa?
Y/N: I am he who has conquered death, and risen above to the highest heavens to atain the highest form of power, pray fool and pardon your mind with the chains of the divine and make way for Y/N god of lightning and flame I said ending withq chuuni pose.
Ako: WHOOOOOOAAA SOOOO COOOL!~~~
Y/N: hahaha thanks! I try
Rokka then came in and told Roselia that Hello Happy was about finished with their preformance and that its their turn to preform. I must admit Roselia has some interesting characters and it makes me wonder how they synergize on stage
Yukina: Lets go everyone
Sayo: yeah lets go, Y/N please dont do anything reckless
Y/N: I wont if you dont fuck up I said giving her a cheeky smile. She just gave me a dirty look while im just there laughing in the inside
Rinko: Excuse us...
Lisa: Later guys! Hope you'll enjoy the show Y/N she said walking out the door while shooting me a wink. Seeing her do that f
Give me the impression that shes the flirty type.
Ako: Nee Onee-Chan be sure to watch me!
Tomoe: Yeah! Ill be watching you from the crowd!
Arisa: Oi Kasumi, were up next we should probably get ready
Kasumi: Oh thats right! Y/N were gonna be in the next room getting ready
Y/N: sure take your time
Tomoe: Im gonna watch from the crowd you guys wanna come?
Himari: sure
Moca: yeah
Tsugumi: sounds good
Ran: sure why not
Tomoe: You coming?
Y/N: Yeah sure I might as well let Popipa use this room then go change in the other
Tomoe: alright goodluck popipa
Popipa: thanks
Few minutes later we joined up with hello happy world who decided to watch roselia from the stage as well.
Kokoro: Y/N! I hope we made you smile with our song
Y/N: It sure did!
Soon the lights went Dim and blue and the crowd started roaring in cheers it was much louder than when Afterglow and Hello Happy preformed. It seems they are a Fan favorite
Yukina: Lets go..."louder"
Wow that was short of an introduction. Without a moment of hesitation, they went into the song.
During the song
As im listening to the song i cant help but focus all on them their sound is much more heavier yet very melodic which made it very interesting on top of that they come of strong with their instruments ako especially, for a girl her size and her age, Im actually impressed shes actually play sounds like that with such speed and precision, Hell if im pretty sure if i showed her a couple of things she could match me and Yuris skill level in no time probably becoming a God-Tier Drummer. Soon after I shifted focus from that to the yukina and the lyrics. I closed my eyes and began to
Listen and be enveloped in the lyrics. "Feel Alive"...huh
When the song ended everyone went nuts!
Tomoe was cheering for her sister and I was clapping as well. As for me I couldn't help but think about the lyrics
Tomoe: AKO IS SO COOL! DONT YOU YHINK Y/N
Y/N: huh what? Ummm... Uh yeah...For a girl her size and age she Is insane! Whoever taught her how to play drums did right by her
Tomoe: Why thank you Y/N!
Ran: Roselia is cool aren't they?
Y/N: Yeah, the song...it was very powerful to say the least
Ran:..I see... she looked a little offended by that statement.
Roselia got off the stage soon after the lights went off suddenly Im guessing the final act is upon us
Poppin Party: Popi Pa! Pipo Pa! Popipapapipopaaaaa!!!!
The lights went on with Poppin party on stage. They then began to introduce themselves and the band how they met as well as a little comedy skit in between and it was sort of funny and adorable at the same time especially when kasumi introduced themselves twice but even though that was the case it seemed like she didnt care and that she had brimming confidence.
Kasumi: This ones called Happy Happy Party!
They began to play the song
During the song
Although this song wasnt my cup of tea and not for my demographic, Its catchy non the less. Like hello happy, it looked like they were having fun on stage, Rimi was pretty slick with her bass work and O-Tae and kasumis guitars were really synergizing well with each other and Saaya, I can tell shes supporting from the back by keeping the rythm really well making sound of their music give off a really up beat and bubbly feeling. Looking at this I can tell the level of friendship they have just by how they preform and it was just satisfying.
The preformance ended on a high note, the crowd really enjoyed it giving the same level of energy as they did with Roselia
Y/N: wow that was amazing!
Himari: theyre soooo cute!
Misaki: as lively as every dont you think?
Y/N: yeah... ya know I wish I can preform on stage like that
Kokoro: hmmmm she said as she stared at me with a huge grin on my face. Which gave a feeling of "oh im about to rock your shit real quick"
Y/N: im gonna go meet up with them
I t got up from my seat and ran around to meet the girls back stage
Location:
Galaxy backstage
Kasumi: Y/N!
Y/N:Hey girls you girls were great out there
Rimi: thank you Y/N I was so nervous
Saaya: thanks Y/N-kun
Kasumi: me too!
Y/N: naww you looked like you were doing fine to me Toyama-san
Arisa: yeah right?
Kasumi: fufufu~
Familiar voice: EVERYONE!!! BEFORE WE END THE NIGHT HAVE ONE MORE PREFORMANCE FOR YOU GUYS!
I took a peak outside to see who it was and it was kokoro. Oh no please god no!please dont tell me what i think shes about to do
Kokoro: GIVE IT UP FOR Y/N!
OH GOD WHY??? SHE DID DO WHAT I THINK SHE WAS ABOUT TO DO!!
Afterglow: WHAAAT?
Yukina: L/N-San?
Misaki: i have the feeling that Y/N just fell victim to one of kokoros crazy ideas
Kanon: fueee~
Kaoru: Hakanai~
Poppin Party: WHAAAAAA?!
Rokka: HUUUUUUUUH?!!!
Aw for fuck sake I had a feeling she would pull something like this when she locked eyes on me! Nevertheless I had to do something and quick
Kasumi: Y/N?
I looked back only to see Kasumi looking at me with concerned look on her face. I looked at kasumi and saw she still had her guitar and thats when in idea came into my mind .
Kasumi: You Okay?
Without any hesitation I took her guitar and ran on the stage
Y/N: Sorry But Ill be borrowing this! I said while running on stage
Y/N: AYYY ASAHI HEADS UP!!!
I took out my phone and threw it from the stage from where Rokka was standing
Rokka: ehhh?!
She looked up in surpise and held her hands out in attempts to catch my phone she manage to get a grasp of my phone but not withought a few fumbles here and there.
Y/N: Asahi! On my phone, look in my sound files there should be an experiment file click on it and it should be the first one
Rokka: ALRIGHT!
As she started to set up I began to downtune Kasumi's guitar, I got on the mic and began to introduce myself along with an explanation as to why I was up here in the first place
Y/N: Hello everyone I honestly wasn't expecting to preform tonight so forgive me for that! Anyways the song im about to play is an instrumental piece ive been working on for awhile, its a lot heavier then normal but I hope you guys can enjoy. this songs "utopia"
(Disclaimer I do not own the song however in this world you do credit goes to Rings of saturn. Also If you do not like this style of music I highly suggest you don't listen to their other songs)
