[EDITED]
As I ntioned earlier, I wasn’t really good at singing.
I like listening to songs, but I don’t have the talent to produce those sounds myself.
So, I figured I’d never have to sing on my own in my lifeti… and yet, here I am, singing.
‘Life is truly strange.’
I thought this while picking a song.
I couldn’t just sing any random song, though.
What song should I choose?
‘...What song would people know?’
Personally, I didn’t listen to songs that most people would know, so I was struggling.
I don’t really listen to Korean songs.
I was trying to think about it by myself, but...
‘...I seriously can’t think of anything.’
I couldn’t co up with a song that was familiar to others and easy to sing.
So, I decided to ask the viewers for so suggestions.
“I seriously can’t think of a song, so can you give a recomndation?”
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Just sing anything.]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Why are you asking for recomndations, haha.]
[Yeah.]
[We’re not asking for sothing grand.]
[Just sing sothing familiar.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: We don’t need to know.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: Just sing any song, please.]
[How about ‘Haru Haru’?]
[What’s that?]
Looking at the chat, no one was really giving any suggestions.
Most of the comnts were saying I should just do whatever I wanted.
So, I decided to go ahead and sing the song I had in mind.
“You all gave permission, right?”
I couldn’t let them say anything about this.
It was the viewers who allowed it, after all.
I checked the chat as I said that:
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Oh, co on, don’t start now.]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Just sing already.]
[Ugh, haha.]
[Why is it that people are so annoying sotis?]
[This is Kang Hu-min: Sing it quickly.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: Please, just sing anything.]
The mood was clearly one of permission.
Without hesitation, I chose the song I wanted to sing.
The song title was—
[打上花火]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: ?]
[?]
[What is this?]
[What the hell...]
[You...]
[This is Kang Hu-min: Are you seriously singing this?]
[Please, no. Seriously.]
[What Japanese song is this?]
[Harin: Oh, this is the ani OST, right? I’ve heard this before.]
[Harin, stop pretending you don’t know.]
[Hah... I was trying to act like I didn’t know.]
[You’re actually saying this out loud?]
The chat was in chaos.
It seed the viewers were pretty hyped about it.
So, I decided to play along and get even more involved.
“Guys, co on, this is a classic. Everyone listens to this song.”
Back in the day, I watched a lot of ani at ho, and that’s how I ca to know Japanese songs like this one.
‘Well... it’s a famous song.’
I thought I wouldn’t seem too much like a geek.
With that in mind, I started singing.
Mangming, probably flustered, was just shaking the tambourine beside .
Clink-clink—
As I began singing, I focused on putting emotion into it.
I wasn’t sure how others would feel about it, but...
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Wait a minute...]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Is this song...]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Isn’t this the the song from the 2017 ani movie Fireworks, which was a huge hit in Japan and other places?]
[Oh, shit.]
[Why does he know this in such detail?]
[Manager, you geek.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: Wait a second…]
[This is Kang Hu-min: Is this the song that topped the Japanese iTunes charts for five consecutive weeks and swept through other music sites?]
[Now I’m curious...]
[What the hell, haha.]
[Harin: Oh... do you know this one?]
As I sang, so unexpected otaku fans started showing up in the chat.
Of course, I wasn’t one myself, but given how the song was a bit geeky, I understood why it was drawing them out.
With that in mind, I continued singing.
How long had I been singing?
Finally, the last line was approaching.
‘Here, I’ll put so real feeling into this.’
I thought to myself, and with that, I sang the last line.
“...I wanted it.”
Even I thought I was singing it quite well.
Unlike usual, there wasn’t much off-key singing.
I checked the chat.
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: You really can’t sing.]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Just stop singing.]
[Shit, haha, I thought you’d be bad, but you’re really bad.]
[This is ridiculous.]
[Seriously, stop singing.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: At least I’m thankful Da-ma sang this iconic song.]
[Agreed.]
[Such a ridiculous concept, though.]
[This is crazy.]
It seed like the viewers were mostly satisfied.
I had always said I wasn’t good at singing, but if I was made to sing like this and still managed, they should give so credit, right?
If they didn’t, they’d be the real jerks.
With that thought in mind, I handed the mic to Mangming.
“Here.”
Mangming grabbed the mic and then...
“Uh… What should I sing?”
He was really thinking hard about it.
Probably struggling with the sa kind of dilemma I had.
So, I decided to encourage him.
“Sing whatever you want. I’ll cheer you on.”
No matter what song Mangming sang, I was planning to support him.
After all, if I couldn’t sing well, how could I judge anyone else?
With that thought in mind, I gave him my encouragent.
“…Okay.”
Mangming gave a look full of determination.
It was a great attitude.
He wasn’t going to let any external pressure get to him.
So of the viewers in the chat seed to notice and started comnting.
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Uh-uh, no way?]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: Are you going to sing sothing you know?]
[If you sing so otaku song, I swear to god...]
[I’m going to shower with oil.]
[Why isn’t the fire starting?]
[Starting the fire could be dangerous.]
[These guys are surprisingly reasonable.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: I expect Mangming to sing sothing good.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: Can’t be too bad, it’s a good song, so if he sses it up, he’ll be getting hate.]
Mangming took a deep breath and decided on his song.
The title was...
“...This one’s harder than I thought.”
It was a very famous Korean song.
But it had a bit of an otaku flair to it.
[Koranya, definitely 인정이지 ㅋㅋ]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: That song is really good.]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: I’ve listened to it a lot, brings back mories.]
[The song is really good.]
[Let’s go!]
[This is Kang Hu-min: I’m curious how Mangming will sing this. Since it’s such a good song, if he doesn’t do it well, he might get hate.]
Mangming perford the full song.
It was a very steady tone from start to finish.
But... I couldn’t just say “You really can’t sing,” since I hadn’t said anything when Mangming sang.
So, I decided to put it gently.
“You sing like a machine.”
“Really? Hmm, well, I did sing better.”
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: You’re saying it’s like a machine...]
[🗡️All-powerful Cthulhu: That’s a way of saying it’s too even...]
[But the song is good, haha.]
[Like a tiger~]
[I heard this when I was in my 30s, brings back mories.]
[This is Kang Hu-min: Old man, stop.]
[Hwanhee: Okay, let’s move on. Next song, next song, next song.]
The chat seed to have gotten used to our singing and was really hyped.
It felt like they were really enjoying it.
‘I didn’t think they’d like it this much.’
I thought, as I kept the broadcast going.
Originally, I planned to stream for about 30 minutes, then head ho.
But before I knew it...
“...Wait, it’s been two hours already?”
Two hours had passed.
I was shocked.
I didn’t realize that much ti had passed.
At that mont...
“Hah...”
Mangming was collapsed on one side, completely wasted.
