Chapter 24: I Just Wanted to Start a Band, and I Ended Up Blowing Up the Stage.

"Rock 'n' Roll Star" by Oasis.


This song was written by Oasis, one of the legendary bands of the 90s, during their days of obscurity when they could barely land a gig at local neighborhood pubs or bars. Despite having nothing, the track is brimming with self-assurance and self-affirmation—the unwavering belief that they were already rock stars simply by existing.


Every one of us is a star.


We possess infinite possibilities and can become anything we desire.


And a rock star is someone meant for those stars—an existence that helps those hidden lights find their own shine.


This song is a message to the public who will hear our music from now on, and it is also a self-fulfilling prophecy for ourselves.


"We are rock 'n' roll stars."

Before the vocals even kick in, the powerful, raw thud of the drums and an electric guitar soaked in heavy gain blast forward.


By the standards of my past life, this song wasn't exactly innovative or groundbreaking. However, it was the kind of music that shoved Oasis into the public consciousness with a killer guitar riff and a massive chorus.


I live my life in the city


And there's no easy way out


The day's moving just too fast for me


This track aligns perfectly with the direction I pursue as a musician. We weave our message into simple, addictive melodies.


As the music plays, people begin to shift their shoulders and nod their heads to the rhythm. A few even begin to marvel in awe, but they soon realize they have made a mistake.


Ah, I think I started marveling way too early.


In my mind my dreams are real


(In my head, my dreams become reality)


Now you concerned about the way I feel


(You worry about how I feel)


Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star


(Tonight, I am a rock 'n' roll star)


The vocalist’s clear yet gritty voice pierces through the audience's hearts. Some sway along with the music, while others quietly hum the melody.


Ai watches the scene with a faint smile playing on her lips.


Tonight I'm a rock 'n' roll star


It's just rock 'n' roll


The seasoned senior judge was already out of his seat, clapping and enjoying the performance.


Pass? He had already given them a pass with a perfect score in his mind.


The other judges felt similar emotions, even if they hadn't acted on them yet. They were already surrendering their bodies to the melody, swaying to the beat.


The first unanimous perfect score in the history of ASAYAN.


That was the score Enfants Terribles received.


The way people looked at Enfants Terribles was beginning to change. A band is supposed to prove its worth through music.


If the world won't shine a light on us, we will illuminate it with our own hands. They had created their own spotlight.
