Chapter 654: Past Life Flashback



As the last haunting notes of "The Scientist" faded into the warm afternoon air, the crowd erupted into a roar of applause and cheers, their response a mix of admiration and emotional release. The Harmony Union Club members exchanged glances of relief and excitement, their nervous energy now transformed into confidence. The audience had connected with their performance in a way they hadn't fully anticipated, and that connection fueled their resolve to deliver even more.

Aiko, another lead singer, stepped forward, her heart racing with adrenaline. She flashed a quick smile at her fellow singers, who nodded back in encouragement. The group was ready for their next song, a piece called "Echoes of Yesterday," a somber but hopeful tune from a famous Sakurean singer. The song was about memories, the ones that linger in the quiet moments, and how they shape the people we become.

Aiko's voice began softly, almost a whisper:

"In the quiet of the night, where echoes still remain..."

The other members joined in, layering their voices to create a rich, ethereal harmony. The song had a haunting quality, the melodies intertwining like threads of thought that drift through the mind in reflective moments. Each member had a part to play, their voices blending in perfect synchrony, creating a tapestry of sound that enveloped the crowd.

The harmonies swelled, filling the space with a sense of nostalgia and longing. The altos provided a steady, rhythmic hum that anchored the melody, while the sopranos added a delicate, airy counterpoint, their voices rising and falling like the ebb and flow of memories. The basses and tenors wove their voices together, creating a sense of depth and warmth that resonated in the listeners' chests.

The chorus arrived, and the group's voices rose together in a powerful, unified sound:

"Though the days have passed us by, the echoes never fade, they linger in our hearts, where yesterday is made."

The crowd listened intently, many of them swaying gently with the music, their eyes closed as they let the harmonies wash over them. The song's lyrics seemed to strike a chord with the audience, evoking personal memories and a sense of shared experience. The members of the Harmony Union Club could see the emotion in the faces of the crowd, and it spurred them on, giving their performance an added intensity.

As the song neared its end, the harmonies became more complex, the voices intertwining in a final, intricate weave that built toward a soft, poignant conclusion. Aiko's voice lingered on the last note, a gentle echo of the song's theme, before fading into silence. The audience was still for a moment, caught in the aftermath of the music, before they burst into applause once again, their cheers louder and more enthusiastic than before.

The Harmony Union Club members allowed themselves a brief moment to soak in the crowd's response before moving into their final song, a more uplifting and energizing piece titled "Rising Dawn." This song was a celebration of new beginnings, of hope, and resilience in the face of adversity. It was a famous song from the Gemstone Band, this was one most famous bands worldwide, they had several hit songs, and 'Rising Dawn' was one of them. This song was especially famous because no matter who heard it, they would want to move their bodies and dance to the song's beat.

The song began with a steady, rhythmic beat provided by the basses, their voices mimicking the sound of a heartbeat:

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The tenors and altos joined in, their voices rising and falling in a melodic wave that carried the rhythm forward. The sopranos entered next, their voices bright and clear, like rays of sunlight breaking through the clouds. The combination of these elements created a sound that was both powerful and uplifting, a stark contrast to the somber tones of the previous song.

"My hands are shaking!"

"Only hands? My whole body is still shaking!"

"How awesome was the crowd cheering for us?"

"SO AWESOME!"

"Haruka and Aika were amazing!"

They talked excitedly about the performance they just pulled for the crowd outside. They knew they had achieved something remarkable, and the memory of this performance would

stay with them forever.

While they talked backstage, the Festival MC appeared on the stage.

"It seems like you guys liked the Harmony Union Acapella Group!" The charismatic youth said

with a smile.

WOOOOAH

The crowd replied with excited cheers to indicate that they had indeed liked them.

"So, if you liked them. I urge you guys to not forget to donate the amount of Yuki Notes that you like to the Harmony Union Acapella Group. You just have to search for the several donation volunteers spread around the venue. Remember..." The MC remembered the crowd and explained how they could donate and support their favorite artists.

It was only then that the crowd remembered that they could support the performers. At that moment, the donation volunteers were surrounded by the excited public who wanted to support the Harmony Union Acapella Group.

Theo had a happy smile on his face as he donated several hundred Yuki Notes. Although this amount of money wasn't as precious as the memories he was able to remember with their performance in his view, he hoped that with a big donation, he would be able to bless these kids just like they did with him.
