Episode Six: This Is Us

CHAPTER 6

Everyone listened to the song, and then played their instruments to get the timing of the beat. After an hour and thirty minutes, they got a hang of it. They took half an hour, performing the song. Adjusting their vocal arrangements to fit the melody perfectly. While playing their instruments accurately with the song.

"We sound pretty good," Otani admitted.

"It's not close to perfection yet but we tried, didn't we?" Shinzo added encouragingly.

"Yeah," Tendo, Jinji, and Haruto agreed.

"One more round and we'll film before we take a break, alright guys," Rose said.

"Finally!" Tendo exclaimed.

"My fingers are aching," Shinzo added.

"Let's get this over with!" Haruto spoke.

"Yeah!" everyone agreed.

After their final rehearsal, they were ready. Erica was on standby.

"Ready!" she asked.

"Ready!" Rose and the guys answered.

"Now, action!" she yelled as everyone played their parts in the song as Rose sang the verses, and then everyone else sang the chorus including her too. Once done, Erica stopped the video recording of their cover, Boom.

"Oh my gosh! You guys sounded amazing! I can't believe this! You had a few hours of practice and sound like the real deal. I would pay my ticket to come and see you guys perform in a huge arena," she said excitedly.

"Our first fan!" Jinji and Haruto laughed.

"You're getting a VIP seat, Erica," Shinzo smiled.

"Awe...." Erica giggled as she smiled.

"Don't flatter her too much, guys," Rose teased. "Her ears will smell like cheddar cheese."

"Rose! That's not true, don't believe what she says. She has always been jealous of my cheekiness," Erica joked.

"What? You're crazy," Rose laughed.

The guys couldn't believe what they were hearing.

"Could this get any weirder?" Tendo asked.

"I thought the same thing too," Otani muttered.

"Upload the video to our channel, already," Jinji spoke hastily.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot," Erica said and uploaded their video performance of Boom onto their band's YouTube channel, This Is Us _Band. "It's done!" she smiled.

"Good!" Haruto nodded.

"We'll check the comments later," Rose suggested.

"Let's head back to school," Shinzo added.

"Okay!" they agreed.

Rose informed, "Erica will send everyone the band's email and password to access the channel. Plus our Twitter's and Instagram's pages information to log in. Please post content relating to the band only."

"Wait? Who's the band leader?" Haruto asked.

"I'm not deciding that. Erica will choose and post our profile on This Is Us's social media platforms. Then we'll see who's the band leader," Rose confirmed.

"Me? Why?" Erica asked surprisingly.

"Why is it her and not us?" Tendo asked.

Rose glared, "Because I say so. Erica is our content manager and editor. Treat her kindly or else..." without finishing, she went to the elevator as the guys gulped.
