I''ll write the short report about it.

I was a little worried whether the concert would be held because it was raining in that morning.

At 12:00,Many people was buying goods, food or drinks, listening to the eventer's mike-tests.

 

However, the rain stopped falling at near time to open and we got some sunshine.

This is the gate to the concert field.

 

 

At 16:00, the concert was begined. 

Because of the copylight, I couldn't take photos during the show, but it was so remembrance and moving.

 

 

 

The first half, the members entertained all audiences playing their favorite songs one after another.

Most audiences were singing along with members, with raising or clapping their hands.

 

 

 

At the middle,  a video was played back to us.

It was the documentary about the piano, which was injured by the Middle-East Japan Earthquake.

 

Yojiro(Vo.and G.) told us he had asked his favorite instrumental shop's owener to repair it, and  it took two years to play it again. 

 

He played the piano then, and after that, he was weeping for a little while.

 

Then, all of us found  he was also injured his mind terribly by the big earthquake.

Some of audiences were cheering him, and some were also crying.

 

 

 

 

 

At the last half and double encores, we regained warming up again.

I also enjoyed very much until the end.

 

 

After finished,  it was already into the gloom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This concert is one of my biggest memory in 2013.

Including my dirty shoos ...(:_;)

 

I hope the next concert has NO rainnig.

  This is Fukiko's first article.  My blog topic is abot “Japanese -Rock Music”.

I'll introduce my favorite bands, concerts ,  CDs, and so on.

 

 

     When I was a high school student, I bought this CD.

     The CD's title is

“RADWIMPS 3 -The Disc Which was Fogotten Being Brought to a Desert Island-”

(RADWIMPS3 ～無人島に持っていき忘れた一枚～）

 

This CD was released by RADWIMPS , which is Japanese-Rock band.

 

     Here is the members.(L→R)

 

・Satoshi　Yamaguchi（Drums）

・Yojiro　Noda（Vocal and Guitar)

・Yusuke Takeda(Bass)

・Akira　Kuwahara（Guitars）

 

 

 All songs and lyrics are written by Yojiro.

He is retunee student from Tennessee,  U.S., so he can sing English songs fluently.

He made a lot of English songs.

 

 

This CD made me start to listening to J-Rock music.

I was so suprised at the rhythmic and clever lyrics.

Moreover, the others member's playing are also skillful.

 

 

 

If you play back this CD at first time, the first lyric you hear is

 

 

“Yes, I believe in a miracle.”　

(はい、僕は奇跡を信じます。）

 

(Truck-1 4645)

 

 

What is Yojiro singing about ?

 

 

Many kinds of emotions- love, hate, sorrow, despair, happiness, etc- are contained in this CD. 

You must be enjoyrable ,listening their songs.
