Asami Kaneko (金子麻美) performed at an event named “Four Season’s
Elegance Vol. 3” as the opening act. It was her first live performance to sing to
the general public. She left Yamagata, her unurbanized but wonderful home town,
a year and a half ago with a dream to become a top singer in
In the performance, she was supported by Masato Kamata himself, who played keyboard this time, as well as Maki Mikami, an excellent violin player from her brother’s band. The hall was not so large but it had been filled with a smallish crowd by the opening. The set list of the songs was as follows (the name of the songs are my free translations):
1. Bound for Tokyo（東京行き）
2. Overcome with a smile（笑わなくちゃ）
3. As my natural self（そのままで）
With the help of the melodies played by the couple of experts, her high pitched voice with rich octave overtones was very healing. It was as pleasant as the performances she had made on the TV program. It made the audience dream of their own pastoral world in their hearts. High pitched singers sometimes sing using unnatural falsetto but her voice was thick and natural making the audience deeply moved. I believe that with a little more practice so that her ways of expression are totally under her free control, she will become a big singer that heals more and more people as she has been dreaming.
