"As I leave Japan, it's with a heavy heart. I'm sending prayers and love and mercy to everyone affected by the earthquakes." Brian Wilson left behind this message when he left Japan after making his tour to Japan a huge success. That's all for the message. The Kumamoto earthquake occurred just as his performance was being held from Tokyo to Osaka. The earthquake made it impossible for many people to attend Brian's Osaka performance, which was much easier to access than the Tokyo Forum performance. So Brian left me a message like the one above, which made a big impression on me. For a man who believes that music can create positive vibrations, there is no doubt that he incorporated his feelings for the earthquake and the victims, which occurred during the break from his Japan tour, into the Osaka performance on the 16th. As if to prove that it had become an unexpectedly emotional live show, on this day, the two songs sung by Al, which were played daily in Tokyo, and even "Little Honda" were played in their entirety. I am. I feel like this was a small gift to the audience from the Kumamoto area, who probably came to the live show even under such circumstances. But above all, the excitement throughout the concert was amazing! The excitement was clearly greater than that of the Tokyo Forum, and there is no way Brian would not be happy with such a reaction, and the fact that we can see a glimpse of him being as excited as he was on the first day in Tokyo proves that. Even in the first half of the set, which had a complete set list for the reasons mentioned above, the excitement was really great, and the heated performance of Blondie's ``Wild Honey'' may also be a sign that the musicians were excited by this excitement. . Yes, you can feel the emotional atmosphere not only from the songs sung by Brian and Al, but also from the passionate excitement of the songs sung by Blondie. At a time like this, we want everyone to truly enjoy our show...I think that feeling was clearly conveyed to the audience. The excitement during the killer “PET SOUNDS” set was also great, and the Osaka audience was excited here as well as they played out a number of famous songs from the legendary masterpiece. Even in front of the numbers from "PET SOUNDS", which has an overwhelmingly mellow tune, the reason why it shows such excitement is because "PET SOUNDS" is a powerhouse, or because this album is treated as a special divine album. Amidst this excitement, the show progresses smoothly, but when Blondie is introduced at the end of the band, he references the Rolling Stones, of whom Blondie was a support member, and begins a jam of "Honky Tonk Women." There's even a funny scene like this (I wish it would have ended with a full chorus). The same taper as the Tokyo Forum 2 performance captured such a peaceful sense of reality with an audience recording of stunning sound quality. Compared to those, the sound pressure and texture are milder, creating a different charm, and above all, it realistically reproduces the best excitement heard on this day. Even those who have listened to the previously released items from the Tokyo performance are sure to be impressed by the excitement and performance. The final song was the closing song "Love And Mercy," which Brian probably sang with his feelings for the people of Kumamoto. Among the three shows in Japan this time, there is a scene here that I can't listen to without crying. Brian and the band that excited the fans all day. Please take your time and enjoy this day, which was a special concert! Here's a great performance.
