..When I've heard from an acquaintance that Shogo will have a live stream for the second part of his one man live, I have decided to buy the ticket although I can't purchase it on an earlier date as planned.Fast forward to the day of the concert ...
I logged in to liveship, 15 minutes before the start of the concert. For some unknown reason, I was so nervous as if I'm at the venue for real.
At 20:00, they started the stream and a few seconds later, The band members entered the stage followed by Shogo. Shogo waved and then bowed to the audience and then they started the show.
I'm at my emotional peak that time and then the opening song was "nasal voice". How do you think should I react, right? I almost cried because this is the first song.
I'm still at my emotional peak and then the second song was "Infinite Trie" !? My tears almost fell down but it went back up because of this song. I actually like this song so much !! When he released this in 2019, I kept on playing this.
He was handed by a mic and the mic stand was removed. He started dancing energetically and the audience started waving their penlights that made a sea of yellow lights amidst the dark room. I was also dancing on my own too. ≥ 3 ≤
The staff handed his acoustic guitar for "parallel relationship". He energetically encourage the audience to cheer more but of course the audience can't literally do that because they need to wear masks. So we are. all cheering for Shogo in our hearts.
For the fifth song, I actually didn't know the title of this song at first. I admit that I don't look much at the titles of Shogo's songs whenever i listen to them. So I had this song tracked down in the album and the title was "Gekinami".
For the MC part, he thanked everyone who came at his one man live despite the weather or any other circumstances.
He talked about his recent stage plays. He asked the who among the audience attended it and was surprised to see that there are a lot As we all know, the pandemic had halt all the entertainment activities until further notice. So until then, everything was delayed. He was happy seeing the audiences raised hand as a response for his questions though there was a part where the audience started clapping so he laughed and asked why is everyone clapping their hands. He thanked everyone for clapping though. ≧ ∇ ≦
He introduced the next song as a love song, the song is entitled "This is the first time I saw Shogo playing the keyboard. I knew he play different instruments but it's the first time seeing him in keyboard. I love the And also, when the camera showed his hands on the keyboard, I totally went "omg! Such beautiful hands!". (♥ ω ♥)
When he sang "selfish", I admit that I still remember the feeling all too well. This song gave me chills especially on the last part necessarily the band members stopped playing their instruments just to give way to Shogo's powerful vocals. God!
He finished off the piano accompaniment songs setlist with "colorless". I love how the second part set list all have piano accompaniments.
After the set 2 songs, he introduced the band members comprising the band members showcased their specialty.
After the band members introduction Because they played their instruments, the next song was "Great Revolution" followed by "Salty tears". He was dancing cutely. ≧ ∇ ≦
When they played "= +", I already knew that the next song will definitely be "Sun Runner" Lol
ENCORE
He had another short MC again.
He said apologized for surprising everyone with the announcement (referring to being an independent artist) and thanked the fans for the continuous support for his new venture.
I, myself was also surprised with the announcement. When I've read about this on his line blog, I already knew that I have to definitely buy the ticket for the live stream for I might not get a chance to do this again.
He Introduced a new song and it is entitled "Voice of the Wind". He personified the song just like his new venture Laid he goes where the wind wants him to go (just literally "voice of the wind).
After singing the new song, he He said that for the first time in his life, he had his performance live streamed. He even waved excitedly at the camera and said hi to a friend. He also said that I hope we're enjoying the live. stream (yes, we definitely are !!).
Last song is "treasure" and it almost made me cry. Just a brief explanation, it is a song that personifies one's passion for things and like how one's dreams is like a treasure.
Lastly, he asked if he could sing one more song and sang "Peak of life". He danced gracefully and cutely. Ahhhh he's so cute !! ≧ ∇ ≦
To end the show, he once again tell the band members name before the band members left the stage. he thanked everyone for the support and that he'll continue to do his best.
That's it for tonight's show. I was so astonished !! It was the most memorable concert that I've watched for this year for I've had it live streamed.
They announced the archive time but when I check, it's still an hour left before the archive time, but the live stream link is still working so, I took the chance to rewatch the whole concert again.
One thing I regret was streaming the encore part in 720p because 1080p had consumed a lot of my mobile data. Such a petty regret but lol never mind. Hahahaha.
END
I can't wait to see my friend's reaction after watching the concert.:-P
