Prologue

I am Tsukasa Minami, a Japanese singer-songwriter.

My last live performance was on October 22, 2023, so this will be my first live show since then.

I'll be kicking off my live season once again with a street live performance at Osaka Castle Park!

The month after I finished my last season, I lost my mother and I was suddenly all alone. I'm still struggling to come to terms with her loss, and I haven't been able to sing since. Booking this live show was a way for me to force myself to start over again.

When I finished my last season, I anticipated that my mother's care would become more demanding in the next season. I was already thinking about how I would balance my live activities with her caregiving. Her passing happened right before I was about to embark on that journey.

After losing my mother, I was consumed by grief and couldn't find the motivation to do anything, even sing. I thought that returning to live performances would be impossible. But then I realized that my mother wouldn't be at peace if I didn't keep going. So I started singing again. However, my voice wasn't the same as before, and the calluses on my fingertips from playing the guitar were gone. I was filled with anxiety, but I knew I had to start moving forward.

I am determined to achieve a significant leap and success as a musician this season, in order to bring peace of mind to my mother in heaven.

After hitting rock bottom as a musician, I finally managed to seize the opportunity to return to live performances last season.

Originally, I had planned to use this hiatus to write songs, record, and relaunch myself as a new Tsukasa Minami. However, I haven't been able to create anything new, and I'm simply spending every day rehearsing to try to get back to my condition from last season. Even so, I am grateful for the opportunity to be given such a stage.

The booth I always perform at is run by a music label called SonicForm. I am truly grateful to SonicForm for their constant support.

I'll be performing solo with my acoustic guitar.

My stage costume hasn't been updated since last season (lol).

To be honest, I don't even feel like thinking about a new costume for a while. (￣d¨ ￣)

As for costumes, it's just a hassle to think about, regardless of the aforementioned circumstances. ┐(´∀｀)┌

However, I had other songs in my repertoire from last season, so there's a chance I'll include songs that I didn't include in the setlist last season this season.

I haven't decided what I'm going to sing yet, though.

The live venue is Osaka Castle Park.
