Chapter 21 Album (3)

  Inside his mind's recording studio, a strong drumbeat was violently striking. Like a fierce storm suddenly bursting forth! Needless to say, it must be those four guys again!

  Since participating in the Grammy Awards, in order to differentiate themselves from American bands, Tokio Tettokun changed their band name to Tetra. In April of this year, their first album "Kata" was released nationwide in Japan with the help of the Grammy's momentum. With their good music foundation and unique visual system, they instantly captured the hearts of many Japanese people through various promotions on Asahi TV, Tokyo Metro advertisements, Shonen 0 manga magazine, Sanseido bookstore, etc.! Their album "Kata" sold out rapidly and rose to second place on the charts! From then on, Tetra transformed from a former "Kanto trash band" to a popular rock band in Japan!

  Jerry pushed open the door of the recording studio, where Chong Er Si was practicing drums. He gestured with his four fingers, signaling him to stop, "Chong Er Si, how many times have I told you? Don't stay in the room drumming all day when there's nothing going on. Did you hear me? Go out and exercise or go to the gym!"

  Wu Si Si put away the drumsticks and wiped off her sweat, "Rui Jun, you're here!"

  This guy, as expected, still doesn't take his own words to heart!

  Jerry: "Are you even taking my words to heart?! This isn't diligent practice, this is over-practicing! Don't you know that with your lack of exercise, you're prone to straining your back muscles or even dislocating your cervical vertebrae from excessive drumming?! I'm telling you, if something like that happens, not only will the band's recording plans be cancelled, but we won't be able to perform our high-speed songs either! And worse still, you'll never be able to touch a drum set again! Got it?!"

  Gou Jiong rubbed his head, "It's not that serious, is it, Jerry? I've never seen anyone get sick from drumming before!"

  Jerry glared at Jia Pi Si, "You try it!"

  "Okay, okay, I get it! The fluffy little lion is a bit scary after all. Like the fierce Quartet holding up their hands in surrender, 'Alright, alright, I'll be more careful from now on!'"

  Jerry: "Not just pay attention, but remember, I'd rather you go to the gym and exercise your neck muscles more. I don't want to see you only practicing drumming with a single-minded focus! The personal trainer I assigned to Yoda-kun is not just for show! From now on, as a drummer, your training focus should be on your neck muscles, got it? This is an investment in your body. If I say this and you still don't take it to heart, when real problems arise, you'll regret it! Being a drag on the team isn't a good feeling! That's all I have to say, whether you listen or not is up to you. By the way, where are Kaito and the others?"

  Being taught by a young guy, Gakupo is really not used to it, but there's no way around it. Firstly, the young guy has achieved more in music, with three Grammy Awards weighing on every artist's head in Akatsuki Company, which is both motivation and pressure. Secondly, the young guy holds a higher position within the company than Gakupo does, aside from Tono, all four major studios in the company - Kobayashi Takashi Studio, Shiro Sagisu Studio, Itoh Eiji Studio, and newly joined Sato Studio - are on equal terms with the young guy, and some even seek his advice. Moreover, even the company's president, Iida Tatsumi, is extremely polite to him. What can Gakupo do but lower his head and pretend to be a senior in front of the young guy? Not to mention that Gakupo doesn't have the courage for it. Even if he did, he would still be stared at by his colleagues from other studios until he's dead!

  "Zero is studying English abroad, Huasi is working on a new album, and the other two are helping with the New Year's event. Since there isn't any announcement from Xiaobian yet, it's not bad to let them off for now!"

  Jerry: "So that's how it is. But since they've all gone, why are you, the team leader, staying here alone? It's not like you! What are you still doing here, come out and take a walk with me!"

  Compared to the great success of others, Nantian Xingxing's performance is mediocre. As summer approaches, they are starting to gather and prepare new songs inspired by their travels over the past half year! On the other hand, Wang Le Qu might be affected by their musical style and Matsubara Takahiro's insistence on writing his own songs, so despite having a Grammy nomination, their current performance is still lukewarm. Their two albums haven't made a big splash either. Jerry can't do anything about this, as the company had already agreed with Matsubara not to interfere with the band's internal affairs when they first signed them. It's like how they wouldn't ask the members to dye their hair black again!

  "Ma Bao Li stared at him, his neck stretched out, as if he was about to pounce on him at any moment."

  Neck stretching with weights is a unique way to exercise the neck muscles using a specially designed training helmet! Guys like Zuo Zhou Chui Si who go crazy drumming, without strong neck muscles to support them, their cervical vertebrae would collapse in no time! This happened before Jerry's rebirth! After throwing the depressed Zuo Zhou Chui Si to the fitness coach at the gym, Jerry held his head and left with Pedro Bokanera several companies!

  Carlos the drunkard has been thrown into the "recycling bin" by Jerry, and now Jerry's only bodyguard is this strong and robust Venezuelan black tough guy. However, Jerry is a bit depressed because Pedro only speaks up to stop Jerry's actions when he senses danger and blocks him from behind. At other times, this guy just silently follows Jerry, and no one knows what he's thinking behind his sunglasses!

  "Pedro sat in the back seat of the Mercedes, Jerry hugging the front seat headrest, turned his head to look at Hei Da Ge who was staring intently ahead, 'Do you usually like listening to songs? This guy, I'm asking you a question! Can't you just respond once?'"

  Pedro still didn't speak, he just nodded his head and kept staring at the front of the vehicle.

  Jerry: "So, what kind of songs do you usually like to listen to?"

  Pedro turned his head to look at Jerry and then quickly turned away, "Your song!"

  Jerry: "My song?"

  Pedro: "Yes, boss! Your song!"

  Jerry: "Why? Why would you listen to my song!"

  Pedro seemed to ponder for a moment, "Because I like it!"

  Jerry: "Are you always so stingy with your words, Pedro?"

  Pedro: "This is the killer principle!"

  Meng Rui really forgot, Pedro Bocanegra himself is an assassin!

  Jerry: "Alright! Killer, Mr. Toxicroak Pictures!"

  The Mercedes-Benz screeched to a halt at the side of the road!

  Jerry: "Dro, what are you doing?"

  Pedro turned around with a blank expression: "Sorry, Mr. Jerry, Robonica Films is now off-limits!"

  Jerry: "Forbidden zone?"

  Pedro: "Yes, penalty! This is Tanaka Kanae-san's instruction!"
