"What’s this Cosmic Flying Pig??"
Lin Tian was taken aback, thinking this name sounded familiar.
When he snapped back to reality again...
In the milk tea shop.
Kana, wearing a punk style dress and with a heart tattoo on her face, tightly held Lin Tian’s hand and smiled brightly,
After meeting the real Cosmic Flying Pig Band.
Lin Tian didn’t even need to look at their faces.
Just from hearing this awkward Chinese, he immediately recalled this person.
Last time she wore extremely flamboyant subculture clothing at an underground live performance; this time, even appearing barefaced, she was wearing an uncommon punk style dress.
It seems this style isn’t part of her job, but her daily hobby.
Yet, this girl didn’t have a "rock" personality at all; on the contrary, her lively and cheerful demeanor was quite fitting for a Japanese idol.
"(Mr. Moonlight, let me introduce our band members to you!)"
Kana said with a smile, then extended her hand from left to right.
"(This is our rhythm guitarist, Nagase Shoko.)"
A young guy full of energy, carrying a guitar, nodded respectfully towards Lin Tian.
"(This is our saxophonist, Lin Ruiye.)"
A somewhat older man with a bit of an uncle vibe, quietly scratched his nose.
"(Our drummer, Ishikake Yuuki!)"
A man with slightly squinted eyes, awkwardly grabbing the back of his head:
"(Mr. Moonlight, sorry for the trouble with the accompaniment last time!)"
"(Our bassist, Anshi Qianxia!)"
A girl wrapped in a sports jacket, with short hair and a blushing face, bowed deeply to Lin Tian,
"Mr. Moonlight, very... very nice to meet you!!"
Anshi Qianxia’s gesture was the most intense, and she said it loudly, even startling Lin Tian.
"Do you speak Chinese?"
"Um... I learned it." Qianxia said.
Actually, this girl... is quite cute.
She met all Lin Tian’s imaginations about a sakura girl.
Why didn’t he notice last time?
"(Finally, it’s me, the band’s main vocalist and lead guitarist, Hoshino Kanami— just call me Kana.)"
Looking at this young band in front of him, Lin Tian had a lingering feeling of unease.....
The last time he saw them was at an underground live performance.
In just a short amount of time, they had grown to a level where even many Tian Chao netizens recognized them?
To say the least, Lin Tian was a bit puzzled.
These people seemed a bit overly enthusiastic.
"Do you know why I’m looking for you?"
"The... the agent told us." Qianxia said,
"Your... your performance in Tokyo... we watched it..... it was incredible! Even Nishikawa Yuubei wasn’t a match for you! We’re thrilled to be part of your concert!"
When Qianxia said this, her eyes seemed to be filled with little hearts.
It was because of his performance at Xiao Bang International, that showdown with Nishikawa Yuubei that wasn’t exactly a showdown.
That’s how he gained such high recognition in Japan.
Clearly, the Cosmic Flying Pig Band also started admiring him after watching that performance.
That makes communication much easier.
"You guys make an offer first."
Lin Tian planned to ask about the price before considering.
"(Of... offer? What offer?)"
Kana and her band mates exchanged puzzled glances.
"Your agent didn’t tell you? Of course, the price for performing."
Apparently, these young people only focused on playing music, leaving all the money matters to their agent, huh?
"(Oh... right! Of course, there should be a price!)"
Kana realized, nodded quickly, and then she had a small discussion with Qianxia.
Afterward, she tentatively asked:
"Ye... yen." Qianxia’s voice softened.
Lin Tian was stunned,
He didn’t even dare to consider using renminbi as the unit, thinking it was too little.
He didn’t expect this was still yen!
This barely converts to less than thirty thousand yuan!
A first-tier band in Tokyo, performing for just thirty thousand?
Lin Tian even felt a bit sympathetic for these folks. He knew idol status was low in Japan, but not this low.
Lin Tian’s money would be enough to book them all and experience the joy of being a chaebol.
Seeing Lin Tian’s reaction, Qianxia immediately stood up and apologized.
Kana also said, a bit embarrassed,
"We... we can only offer this much... although we’ve taken quite a few gigs recently, we’ve only started seeing improvement these past two months, so we haven’t saved much... "
Lin Tian interrupted Kana.
He stared directly at the girl, asking in an uncertain tone:
"You’re talking about... giving me money?"
"No, you’re coming to my concert as a guest, why would you give me money!"
Lin Tian couldn’t help but say.
So, all this time, the money was for him!
What a joke, is this necessary?!
"(Getting to participate in Mr. Moonlight and Miss Cat’s concert is an opportunity beyond our wildest dreams, so we should pay the participation fee!)" Kana said earnestly.
The other members showed a unified sincere expression as well.
"So let’s do it this way."
Lin Tian no longer wanted to beat around the bush with them,
"I invited you here, and I’ll provide the corresponding remuneration....."
