Chapter 111 Collapse
"Why is there such a big difference?"
In the cafeteria, everyone sat together in frustration, drinking milk tea.
Amuro Yu sighed: "The president said before that everyone from other schools has agreed to give their tickets to the Super band."
"That's not the case!" Akira Kumoi's expression was serious, with determination in his eyes: "Students from each university only have 1,000 votes. Even if the students from the University of Tokyo give me all their votes, there will still be more than 1,000 votes from other schools.
This shows that everyone's voting is fair and impartial. If the number of votes cannot match Super's, it means that the performance is not as good as others, so in the second round we must show a better state than the first round! "
Luo Quan also nodded: "I agree with the captain."
It can only be said that we are young people, and young people must be very energetic. This small setback will not defeat them. After drinking milk tea, everyone regained their strength and prepared for the second round.
The second round started after lunch, but in order to maintain their condition, everyone only drank some drinks and did not dare to eat too much.
The two rounds were separated by less than four hours. Soon the contestants returned to the gym and the game continued.
Perhaps because everyone has different lunch times, there are far fewer students coming to the scene this time. Fortunately, the reporters are all here, and everyone can watch the live broadcast through YouTube.
The order of appearance is the same as before, with Super band fifth and Love music band sixth. Kimura Hiroshi’s entry in the second round is still one of the band’s most popular songs and is very popular, especially because of its passionate and inspiring lyrics. Famous, it is a good piece of music that sings the praises of youth.
The lead singer also performed very hard. Because the song was very difficult, veins appeared on his neck when he sang. Judging from the reaction at the scene, this vigorous performance was very popular among the boys. They all cheered and the atmosphere was very warm.
As for the reaction of the boys watching the live broadcast, it is unknown. They should be more reserved.
As for Kumoi Akira, the song she sang was "We will rock you", which has been highly praised in Europe and the United States. This is an undisputed divine song. It topped the Billboard singles chart in just two days after it was released. The number of downloads and plays has reached a new high in recent years.
But whether it can also resonate in Japan is still unknown.
This time, the burden of performance falls on both Akira Kumoi and Yu Amuro, and their extra performance can be said to be crucial.
"Dong dong da... dong dong da... dong dong da!"
It still starts with this iconic percussion sound, which is a magical rhythm that can make every listener shake involuntarily.
During the performance, Amuro Yuu tensed up all the muscles in her body and hit every beat particularly hard, as if she wanted to use the sound of the drums to shake the hearts of the audience.
He worked hard without affecting his rhythm at all. He and Akira Kumoi cooperated perfectly, making the scene that had just been quiet fall into excitement again.
At the climax of the song, Kumoi Akira pulled off the microphone, raised his left hand high, and shouted loudly to the crowd and the camera: "everybaody we will we will rock you! (Everyone sings together, we will shock the audience!) "
This is followed by the whole band's chorus: "We will we will rock you!"
Repeat, repeat again, the lyrics of this song are so simple and straightforward, but they are irresistibly provocative. The melody and rhythm are so brainwashing, and Kumoi Akira has been doing it on the stage, let’s do it together. With gestures, he was trying to enhance the atmosphere as much as possible.
Soon, the audience finally responded. At first there were just a few sporadic sing-alongs, but when the audience heard the sound, everyone on the stage waved their hands harder as if they had been given a shot of blood.
Except for Yu Amuro, they no longer need instruments and only sing the simple lyrics.
"We will rock you!"
"We will rock you!"
We will rock the house!
The efforts of the Love Music band were finally in vain. The audience finally reached a consensus in the neat harmony and sang the lyrics along with Yu Amuro's drum beat.
Two drum beats, one applause, repeated, repeated. In such a boring process, no one felt impatient at all, but became more and more excited!
The game turned into a chorus, which no one expected!
A two-minute song lasted for more than six minutes. After singing, both the band members and the audience felt sweaty.
At the same time, the number of viewers of the live broadcast on YouTube has exceeded 50,000. There are also a lot of English comments on the real-time comments, and there are basically only two kinds of barrages that irrigate the screen:
We will rock you!
OMG!
It could be seen that the audience was far more incited by the singing than just the audience at the scene.
Everyone once again showed a confident expression. In the second round, they inflamed the atmosphere of the audience. They should get the majority of votes this time, right?
However, everyone was still dumbfounded when the results came out.
Super band received more than 4,300 votes.
Love music band has more than 4100 votes.
Barely 50/50!
Kamiya Suzune sighed helplessly: "This is already our best song."
That night's "Numb" couldn't possibly achieve the effect of the second round, and the band Super still had one killer trick they hadn't used yet. "Re:make" was their most popular song!
This time, even Kumoi Akatsuki lost his usual composure. He looked at the vote count on his phone and didn't speak for a long time.
Finally, Luo Quan stood up and said: "Everyone, it is not our style to have such a large number of people. Even if we know we will lose, are we going to give up like this?
Keep your spirits up and complete the most important round tonight, at least without any regrets! "
At this difficult moment, Luo Quan once again played the role of twisting the rope and restored everyone's morale, which had dropped to the bottom.
Just like she said, no matter what the outcome is, she hopes to leave no regrets and be worthy of the efforts of herself and her companions.
Yumo Akatsuki also managed a smile: "Go and eat first. You won't be able to perform at your best when you're hungry."
The sky is big and the earth is big, food is the biggest. No one has any opinion on this sentence.
After eating, Luo Quan hurried to another indoor gymnasium, where the Miss Dongda competition was taking place.
In the preliminary round, her ranking was finally stable at tenth, barely making it to the finals.
Ten girls will compete in the finals in the gymnasium, and people across Japan will be asked to rate them to determine the final Miss East University.
In the morning, the decision of Mr. Dongda was decided. The crown prince, Masasaku Keigong, won the title with a crushing attitude. No one had any objection to the result. The truest portrayal of everyone was their sincere submission.
From his moral character to his appearance to his academic performance, Masaku Keimiya is impeccable. What’s even more interesting is that eight out of ten girls who entered the finals of Miss Tokyo University voted for him in the school’s forum. The popularity is ridiculous.
The finals of Miss Tokyo University were also held in the spotlight. Three major TV stations, including TV Tokyo, broadcast the competition in real time. People can vote for their favorite girls by editing text messages or logging in on the website. Each account is limited to one time.
The method of the competition is also simple. The contestants go on stage to perform a program. They can sing or dance. Most girls choose to sing, and Luo Quan is no exception.
As the tenth place in the preliminary round, she was the first to take the stage. This time she chose the song "Don't Give Up" very cleverly, which was a great start.
This song has long been given a different meaning in Japan. As long as it is played in a crowded place, it will inevitably lead to a chorus. It is also played on a loop during recess exercises and sports meetings in primary and secondary schools. It is said that the Japanese Education Commission has even included it. Intended to be included in textbooks.
At this moment, Luo Quan finally fully demonstrated her terrifying popularity in Japan. As soon as the accompaniment music started, the chorus in the stadium never stopped. Everyone accompanied Luo Quan to finish the song!
I believe that there are probably not a few viewers in front of the TV who are singing along.
However, the final vote was really not satisfactory. Previous Miss Dongda has received more than 50,000 votes, but Luo Quan currently only has 10,000 votes, which is completely insufficient to win the championship.
After reading some text messages sent by viewers, Luo Quan finally understood.
"The goddess's status in Japan is already so high. There is no need to compete for this title anymore, so just give it to other girls, right?"
"Goddess is your title, there is no need to fight for other things."
"Although I like spring water very much, her appearance does not conform to Japanese aesthetics."
"The spring water is beautiful, but it is not the most beautiful Japanese girl in my mind."
Seeing this, Luo Quan could only sigh helplessly: "Sure enough, there is still a gap in aesthetics, but I didn't expect that my recognition in the minds of the people would be so high?"
The competition continued, and the remaining nine girls showed their talents. The most received more than 40,000 votes, while the least received only a few thousand votes. Luo Quan's score even ranked among the top five.
But there is definitely no hope of winning the championship, because the first place in the preliminary round is on the field.
This sophomore girl from the School of Management is called Saito Yui. She is taller than the average Japanese girl, reaching 1.7 meters.
The appearance and figure are indeed very good, but Luo Quan feels that they are not as good as himself.
She didn't mean anything bitter at all, she was just talking about the matter.
The show performed by this girl was also very interesting. Everyone was singing and dancing, but she actually gave everyone a one-person sketch. Saito Yui's witty language and funny actions often made the students in the audience burst into laughter.
No one thought that such a beautiful young lady could be such a funny girl.
However, this kind of program that broke the rules received very good results. Everyone fell in love with this down-to-earth girl and voted for her a total of 55,000 votes, helping her win the title of Miss Dongda.
Luo Quan ranked fourth with 13,000 votes.
Today didn't seem to go well, and her ranking in any competition was not ideal. Fortunately, the system finally brought her good news.
