Cyndi Lauper's first Japan tour was realized amid the sensation of the release of "TRUE COLORS." A mysterious first-ever soundboard album that conveys the scene has been newly discovered. What is recorded in this work is actually unknown. This is really mysterious, but the only thing we know about the cassette master unearthed this time is that it is the “sound board of the Japanese performance”. Everything else is shrouded in mystery. That said, some deductions can be made from the small amount of information and recorded audio. To explain that, let's first look back at Cindy's first Japan tour schedule. [“TRUE COLORS” released on September 5th]・September 10th-13th: Nippon Budokan (4 performances) ←★? Here? ★・September 16th: Shizuoka Sangyokan ・September 17th + 18th: Osaka Castle Hall (2 performances) ・September 19th: Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium ・September 22nd: Nippon Budokan ← *TV broadcast [Mystery is a mystery The world's first public sound board master] All 9 performances. It was an impressive tour that not only held a number of performances, but also visited famous venues around the country. It is famous that the final day was also broadcast on TV, but this work is different from that. The performance is completely different. However, beyond that, it's really unclear. There was no call to identify the venue, and there was no MC in sight. Judging from the occasional unaccented cheers and applause, it was probably Nippon Budokan. Since it is different from the last day that was broadcast on TV, it is thought that it may be one of the first four performances. In the future, if we proceed with the excavation of audience recordings using this work as an opportunity, it may become clear in the future, but at the moment, "Probably Budokan" is the limit. This is a work whose venue is unknown, but this is only the beginning. In fact, the real mystery begins now. What was recorded on the mysterious cassette master was an exquisite stereo soundboard recording. However, the sound is super unique. Normally, when you hear the term "stereo sound board," you think of official live albums, FM broadcasts, or sound boards directly connected to mix tables, but this work is different from any of those. First of all, what comes out is an unusually vivid enthusiasm from the scene. You can also clearly hear the "Shindy!" and "Kyaa!!" sounds by the girls playing Western music. At this point, you may be thinking, “Oh, the audience,” but as soon as the live performance begins, a very thick and close-knit performance sound and singing voice that are neatly separated flow out. If this is all there is to it, I still think “Is this a super/excellent audience?”, but sometimes the guitars and synths pan beautifully left and right. If this were a spatial recording, the sounds output from the PAs on the left and right sides of the venue would be mixed together and the panning would not be clear. And, what makes it useless is the origin of the mysterious master. In fact, it was leaked by a person involved at the time. Not only Cindy's singing voice, but also Aldo Nova's virtuoso skills and David Rosenthal's synths are filled with the real pleasure of being poured directly into your brain. I think it's a mix of "cheers from direct-to-the-table SBD + ambient microphone" that was shelved with the assumption that it would be broadcast or something. [Full-view live album that exceeds the standard professional shot] Although the logic has become long, the true value of this work lies in the best show drawn with super vivid sound. As mentioned above, there is also a TV broadcast pro shot left in the first performance in Japan, but this work is much longer than that. Let's organize the sets while comparing them here. TRUE COLORS (10 songs + α)・Change of Heart/Boy Blue (★)/What's Going On/Iko Iko/Calm Inside the Storm/911/One Track Mind/The Faraway Nearby (★)/True Colors/Maybe He'll Know/True Colors (2 takes) Others (8 songs + α) ・SHE'S SO UNUSUAL: I'll Kiss You/All Through the Night (★)/Yeah Yeah/He's So Unusual (★)/She Bop/Time After Time/ Money Changes Everything/Girls Just Want to Have Fun・The Goonies: The Goonies 'R' Good Enough *Note: Songs marked with a "★" cannot be heard on the TV broadcast pro shot. ...and it looks like this. The repertoire is all from the first two songs, except for ``The Goonies 'R' Good Enough,'' which was the theme for the movie ``The Goonies.'' "+α" indicates songs that are difficult to count, such as medley arrangements and "True Colors", which is sung twice. As for the volume, it's much easier to determine what you're leaving out than what you're singing.True Colors is all the songs, and SHE'S SO UNUSUAL is also about when you were singing. All except "Mine" and "Witness". It is exactly the "live performance version of SHE'S SO UNUSUAL + TRUE COLORS", but in between, an innocent Japanese MC was also performed. There are some cuts between songs (this is also the same as the leaked master), but you can also enjoy Cindy's voice saying "Genki Deska", "Aishitemasu", "Cute Ine!" on the sound board. Cyndi Lauper's first Japan tour, which is said to be a representative of Japanophiles. It is a masterpiece of a live album where you can enjoy the show with the soundboard master leaked by the people involved. Although there are many mysteries left behind, the youthful singing voices, the full power of the songs, and the enthusiasm of the Western music girls are even more dazzling. This is truly a piece of cultural heritage. The first released soundboard album conveying Cindy's first Japan tour. The master was leaked by a person related to the song, although the date is unknown, and the sound is extremely unique. The beautifully separated, very thick and close performance sound is clearly a soundboard, but there is an overdub of ultra-realistic cheers that seem to have been recorded with an ambient microphone. The real thrill is that not only Cindy's singing voice, but also Aldo Nova's virtuoso skills and David Rosenthal's synths are poured directly into your brain. A treasure of the history of Japanese Western music has been born, allowing you to enjoy a panoramic view of the first performance in Japan. A complete first appearance soundboard that appeared via a person involved. Between songs, a large ambient mic is mixed in. A rough recording of Budokan for the final day of the TV broadcast? (There are cuts between songs (from the tape master) every few songs, but the songs are almost completely recorded.) Cindy's Japanese MC is still not as good as it was on the last day of the TV broadcast on the 22nd. Not.
