The band was one of the ways he chose to bring happiness to people. While helping these two women was partly about bringing them happiness, the most important reason was their band.
He once made a promise with someone to work together to achieve the goal of filling the world with happiness, and perhaps their band has the potential to achieve that.
Although he didn't know how to judge this standard, it goes without saying that bringing happiness to more people with many others is more efficient.
Moreover, with so many audience members listening to their performance, it would be a huge failure if my performance not only failed to make them happy but also made them sad. Therefore, it is not only for their sake but also for my own.
As he was thinking this, the sound of the keyboard in his hands suddenly changed.
In Taro's hands, the spring shadow is no longer the occasional light of spring, but like the warm spring sun, not scorching, but giving people a warm feeling, without a trace of languor.
Like the guiding sun, the sun never abandons you, but its intense light makes it impossible for you to follow. In Taro's music, the sun's heat is just right.
The vibrant and enthusiastic musical notes made audience members who were about to leave stop and watch...
-------------------------------------
From the start of the live performance, Shiina Tatsuki had been watching Takamatsu Akari with a worried look. In her eyes, she hadn't yet emerged from the band's shadow.
Takamatsu Akari, who is already very shy... it seems a bit too much to suddenly ask her to perform on the street.
But the lamp insisted on coming and even invited me, so how could I just leave it alone?
Once the live performance started, I had a very bad feeling.
Taro Momoi didn't consider Akari's feelings at all! While it's important to move on from the shadow of his past band, it's going too far to risk getting hurt over it!
As the verse began, the lights remained completely silent, and just as she hesitated whether to stop, the notes that appeared on Taro's keyboard startled her.
It's still the same Spring Shadow, the same familiar melody... but with just a few minor alterations, the whole piece feels completely different. That person hasn't even had the sheet music for a night, right? Is the difference between us really that big?
An unusual sense of fear was deeply rooted in her heart: if her decades of hard work were seen by others as the result of just one night's work, could she continue?
Although Taro Momoi's music conveys a sense of inclusiveness and gentleness, Riki sees something deeper.
The terrifying talent of Taro Momoi...
Lixi was just instinctively following Momoi Taro's rhythm to play and beat the drum when a strong and powerful bass sound startled him from his daze.
It's Hai Ling's bass. Her bass is always so calm, but today Hai Ling's bass seems a little different, with a hint of worry. Is she worried about messing up the live performance?
Don't worry, Hailing, I won't let that happen. Even if it's just for the sake of the lamp, I will do everything in my power!
That pink-haired guitarist over there completely messed things up because of the lighting. That's my responsibility as the drummer, and I have to take responsibility for it.
Thinking this way, Lixi's drumbeats became even more energetic, pouring all her passion into them.
-------------------------------------
Hai Ling wasn't particularly interested in the performance. Her reason for attending the live show was primarily to see Momoi Taro's true talent. After all, she had only seen Taro's guitar playing online.
Secondly, it was because of Li Xi's invitation. Li Xi is practically my only friend. Of course, she's just a friend. I absolutely have no other thoughts about her. Really!
Thirdly, I was curious about what kind of person Lixi's former band's lead singer was that Lixi couldn't forget. At first glance, she seemed like a rather shy little girl, and to be honest, there was nothing particularly special about her.
But after going live, Hailing changed her mind. This wasn't just a shy little girl; she was extremely shy. As the lead singer, not being able to sing a song was, in Hailing's opinion, a disgrace to the band.
The guitar sounded unsettling, and the rhythm was chaotic.
However, Taro's skill surprised Hailing greatly; it was indescribably powerful. One could only say, "Taro Momoi truly lives up to his name." He immediately filled the gap left by the band's mistake with his own abilities.
Hmm...? Riki's drumbeats seem to have become erratic. Is it because Momoi Taro's skill is putting pressure on her?
"I really can't do anything with you, so let me be your support." With that thought, Hai Ling coordinated with Taro's rhythm, making her bass sound even more prominent, so that Riki, as the drummer, would definitely notice.

Wow, that's amazing... Mr. Taro, the drummer, and the bassist are all incredibly talented...
Pochi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Their performance would have been even more dazzling without me. But here I am... It's really unbelievable, especially with Nijika watching right there.
Also, Takamatsu-kun... must be very scared, even more scared than me. But yesterday, it was he who gave me a push. If it weren't for him, I would definitely have backed down.
I've made up my mind to change myself... but what am I actually doing right now?
Boqi looked at Gao Songdeng with concern. She was holding the microphone, looking down, but she couldn't sing a single word. From her angle, she could even see Gao Songdeng swallowing.
She shifted her gaze slightly and saw Hongxia looking at her with a worried expression.
This won't do... Not only are you not making progress, but you're also causing others to worry about you. Are you still a guitar hero?!
Boqi's eyes narrowed, and during a break in the music, he lifted his foot and stomped down hard.
So I want to... I also want to be someone who can motivate you, and I also want to move forward slowly.
Therefore—I can't stop here!
I will strike as a guitar hero!

Wow, that's amazing!
Hongxia, Lixi, and Hailing all thought the same thing, their demeanor completely different from before, as if they were completely different people.
[Nijika's occasion]
As Hongxia looked at Boqi on stage, who was completely different, she couldn't help but think that Boqi now was completely different from the one who had just finished the band's first live performance.
Such a powerful performance... I only realized now that Pochi actually played very well... and the improvisation in the kitchen earlier too, why did I only realize it now? It really is just first impressions...
But more than that, what Hongxia cares about is... that Xiao Boqi has changed too.
Thinking this, a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips. She was genuinely happy for Pochi.
[Taro's Doctor Wife Liu1厁II啹尔場]
Taro's lips curled into a smile, and Goto Ichiri's guitar playing suddenly became very powerful, completely different from the one he had heard at the last live performance.
The musical notes seemed to come from the guitar as a cry of rebellion against the world.
Excellent! Interesting! Is this a challenge to me? Very good, extremely interesting, I accept!
The equally powerful keyboard sound enveloped the guitar sound, not only without being overwhelmed by the guitar's powerful tone, but also enveloping it, allowing the guitar to perform even more perfectly within its own scale.
[Li Xi's situation]
That pink-haired girl didn't perform well just now; was it because her drum rhythm was off...?
Lixi couldn't help but think this way, but right now, she could keep up, she absolutely could! Then, she used her drum to propel the lamp forward—
As he thought this, Taro's keyboard playing became even more intense. Seriously, you two are going way too far! Aside from the melody still having a general feel to it, it's basically unrelated to the original piece!
It had completely turned into a skill-showing battle between the two. But, I had no choice but to go for it!
Yi Qi [Liu=.1Shan2②Jiuqi [Hai Ling's occasion]]
These two are really energetic! Li Xi too, how did she suddenly get so fired up?
For live streaming, stability is the most important thing... Oh well, all I can do is go along with those few people's nonsense, right?
……
As the song ended, the audience erupted in applause, cheering for the wonderful performance. A flurry of discussion followed…
"Wow, this band's live performance is amazing!"
"Instrumental music! And it's too rock!"
"It shouldn't be, isn't there someone standing in front?"
"But she didn't sing, did she?"
"It must be the mascot, right? It couldn't be that it froze because it forgot its lines, could it?"
"It's not impossible..."
Takamatsu Akari, the subject of much discussion, gripped the microphone tightly... unable to sing...
Although she knew she should sing, she couldn't sing when she saw so many people in the audience!
Master Taro's music is truly amazing... and she could sense the emotions he conveyed within it—a feeling of encouragement that gently embraced her, yet carried a hint of sternness...
The drummer, Lixi, her drumming is also... to support her progress, she has always been working hard.
The guitar in the first grade... was also very impressive, as if to say, "If I can do it, then you definitely can too."
And the bass... although she doesn't really understand it, she seems pretty good at it too.
I only stood here because it was my own suggestion, but I'm the worst one here.
I don't even know why I can't sing at all... It's so terrible.
[Poch's situation]
Boqi's body trembled with tension... He felt like he was about to burn out. Was this what a band was like? This was too chaotic... He casually followed his own improvisational rhythm.
Then, while casually incorporating his own music, he kept putting pressure on himself. Was being in a band really this difficult...?
but……
Ichiri looked worriedly at the lead singer's position; Takamatsu still hadn't managed to sing. But that wasn't surprising; the song became a mess later on, and she seemed quite disappointed.
[Li Xi's situation]
The light... wasn't sung. These two guys are really messing things up; they've ruined the whole song!
No, I was wrong to join in their foolishness too. Should I try to comfort them...? How should I say it?
"It's okay, you'll definitely be able to sing it next time, right? That doesn't seem quite right."
[Taro's situation]
If you didn't sing it, then just try again!
Taro grinned arrogantly and shouted, "Don't panic, servants... no, everyone! Let's do it again!"
"Huh?" Li Xi's voice rang out. Shouldn't we comfort Deng first in this situation? Deng is feeling down, so it's okay for her to snuggle up in his arms and act cute!
Before Lixi could react, the familiar intro began. She hurriedly tidied herself up and started playing the drums to the rhythm, followed by the other instruments.
This time, Taro didn't make any variations; he simply conveyed his gentleness and passion through his instruments, just as Riki and Pochi did.
