After watching Death and the Maiden and meeting with Yuuhi, I travelled to Osaka to see Micchan's Billboard Live.
A super fantastic journey.ヾ(＠°▽°＠)ﾉ
The stage was cool and distinctive, very close to the auditorium. Audience seated in the front row could even shake hands with Micchan
The dinner was beef steak and lobster respectively for the evening and the night show.
I think I love Billboard Live more than dinner show, as it offers very nice food and service but charges much lower price...lol
At the beginning, Micchan appeared at the right entrance of the hall, sang the song 'Mack the Knife', went through the auditorium and clapped hand with guests.
She had a wine red haircut with some shining powder on it, so cute and adorable.(*^▽^*)
The second song was 'Take Five', an old famous jazz piece in 1960s. This song was also used as the BGM in her first dinner show.
Btw, Micchan sang many English songs this time, and even some spanish songs such as 'Quién Será '. She was really amazing! (Although her English pronunciation had obvious Japanese accent...XD)
The song impressed me most was 'Smooth Operator'. Micchan said she heard this song in child's time from the record her dad bought from abroad. She performed this song so......seductively. The tempting expression and gesture, really hit me.
Micchan also played 3 instruments in the show. The first one was Shamisen, a Japanese traditional instrument. With the hood on her head as the image of Thief 'Nezumikozou', Micchan played the song of 'Jailhouse Rock' adapted from Elvis Presley's version. It was so funny and everyone couldn't help laughing.
The next one was certainly the saxophone, and she played 2 jazz pieces. The last one was ocarina. Micchan played it at the start of the song 'You Raise Me Up'. She was so versatile.
The song touched me most was certainly 'As Time Goes By', the theme song of Casablanca. Casablanca is my favourite Yuuhi's leading play and this song reminded me of the time when Yuuhi and Micchan were still in Soragumi...（Ｔ＿Ｔ） When Micchan was singing 'The world will welcome lovers, as time goes by' and looking in my eyes, I felt my heart was melting and I nearly wept.
The last song 'Climb Every Mountain' was also very touching and inspiring. At the end when Micchan sang the high note and all the lights shone at her, she was just like a shining angel
Billboard Live is Micchan's final performance in Senka, before she become the Top Star in Hoshigumi.
I still remember that 3 years ago I went to her debut in Senka, Parisai, with mixed feelings. But this time in Billboard Live, I was totally relieved and just enjoyed her wonderful performance.
Thanks for her great passion on stage, the persistance on dream and the kind heart to fans.
The new voyage has started. I'll also accompany Micchan to climb every mountain, ford every stream.
