Semi spoiler's for chapter 195. Had a fun idea and wanted to share!
"No! I don't want to record more songs, Mr Stud UGH!" It wasn't fair, Tank should never be used for fake dicks! It should be used for.. Ugh not Mr Stud!
"You don't have to sell any other songs so you don't have to worry about anything you write being used for anything!" Hiromi looked done with this loop we've been in for the last hour but.. Tank deserves better than Mr Stud 2.3! "Or just sell songs you want to be used for advertising if you still want to sellem."
I opened my mouth to argue but, there was one song kinda perfect for that and it would be fun. "Could you see if any snack companies are looking for a song Romi? There is one I wouldn't mind and you could even help with!" Sure I really didn't need to sell songs but there are a ton I wouldn't perform live that would still enjoy singing once or twice. On top of that if I can drag my chooms into doing backup vocals then I can share in my embarrassment when we hear them!
"I can reach out and see, if you have a song in mind maybe even if no one is looking they could still want to buy it." Hiromi says. "Also it's not helping, I'm your manager it's my job!"
"Oh no my bestest choom, I was thinking of you doing some vocals." Hiromi points at herself while blinking at me. "Yes, you. It should be pretty easy and you can add singer to your resume!" Make me get up in front of people will you, we shall be embarrassed together! Fool proof!
"EEEEE I would love to sing with you!" Or, not?
When I first heard this song I thought it was fun, silly, and a bit goofy. That was in the before tho. Once I sat down at the drums and started wrecking house I knew, as silly as the singing was, the instruments went fucking HARD. It was also the first time I was going to sing in another language, at least it was Japanese so no one should question it too much.
I was going to save the vocals for last still, while I was hammering away on the drums Hiromi was watching, probably wondering how this was going to be a snack food song. Well Gimme chocolate! by babymetal was made for this! With another plus side of making Romi's voice part of it. Finishing up the other instruments I get up and join Hiromi while I drink some water.
"I've sent out some feelers but not sure if or when some of them may get back to me. You sure this is a snack song Toko? You're going pretty hard out there." I just nod and stretch out a bit. "Ok, anything else you need to do right now?"
"Going to sing in a bit but." I start writing what's going to be her part. "You're going to need to get ready also so here." Handing her the small bits for her. "Go ahead and warm up your voice too!" I smile at her face as she looks over the Atatata's and dokyun's. "I'll help with pacing once I'm done with the main parts." She does not look any better with that said.
I pull the studio mic out and plug in and I look at my choom who is just watching me, it is still a bit embarrassing but I want to have some fun and best chooms don't judge best chooms so I start singing and just because I think it would be fun I do the dance with it. It is a lot more upbeat and smiling than nearly all the songs I've sang so why not just enjoy the silliness for once! And with no one other than Hiromi to see it, it really isn't too bad. She isn't looking nearly as lost or worried after I start so that is also a plus!
Even with getting Hiromi's vocals to match the beat and energy with only a bit of help from an autotune program, the rest of putting the track together doesn't take too long. It was fun to just kinda goof off with music also, I wonder what other songs I could add to that list of just enjoyment. Jun could never know tho or it would be UsCracks remixes for days! Giving a shard to my manager / promoter / back up singer I see her off as she says she has an idea. But I head back into the studio as she reserved it for another 2 hours and I have a lifetime of songs to shift through to see if anything else fits my mood!
So I may have lost track of time but at least there was a flashing call button to let me know I was going over. No one came in to hear the Diva song from fifth element or PSY's Gangnam style, both of I have zero idea what the lyrics mean so that would be awkward. Both I still scrolled for a BD, maybe I can talk Judy into teaching me a thing or two so I don't have to hand them over to her to fix up. Can't trust anyone with them! But now it is time for food, shower and 8 hours of bed!
It was two days later when Hiromi asked to meet up again, I should have known something was wrong when she said section 9 was at Lizzies bar already. But nothing could prepare me for the horrors that I walked into. "HOW DID YOU GET A BD OF ME DANCING TO GIMME CHOCOLATE!" The snickers and giggles from my chooms was bad enough, but it didn't end there Judy and Rita too!
"You are not the only one who can get chipped!" So, this is how I die, not by a borg or bullet, but an overheat cast by my chooms!
