A wonderful live album that records his second solo visit to Japan is here. This work includes the performance of "October 30, 1978: Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium". This year's second visit to Japan was originally scheduled for April, but was postponed due to Olivia's opposition to the dolphin culling incident in Japan. It was realized in October, six months later. First, let's check the position of the show in the tour schedule. ・October 13: Niigata City Gymnasium・October 15: Kanazawa Practical Ethics Memorial Hall・October 16: Kyoto Prefectural Gymnasium・October 17 + 18: Nippon Budokan・October 20: Morioka Gymnasium・October 24 + 25: Osaka Festival Hall・October 27: Okayama Prefectural Gymnasium・October 28: Kyuden Memorial Gymnasium・October 30: Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium [This work]・October 31: Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium A total of 12 performances. It was a large-scale tour that traversed the archipelago from Iwate in the north to Fukuoka in the south. The Nagoya performance of this work was the final concert. Olivia's first visit to Japan in 1976 is full of various records, including the official album "LOVE PERFORMANCE", TV broadcast pro shots, and the masterpiece "BUDOKAN 1976" recorded by Miracleman. However, 1978 is extremely rare. Despite the number of performances, many people may be hearing this work for the first time. This precious work is a vintage audience with a deep quality. It is an original master brought by our own route, but above all, the clarity of the singing voice that reaches straight is wonderful. Despite the 1970s, the master freshness is outstanding and there is no distortion or turbidity at all. Although it is not a type that is "like a sound board", the acoustics of the venue are transparent and convey the subtleties of the singing voice without hiding them. What a wonderful thing about "Take Me Home Country Roads" sung with a taut voice... Of course, the band sound that supports the singing voice is also clear. Although it is not a modest mix, it is a vivid sound that does not mix with the vocals. The sound depicts a rush of masterpieces different from the first visit to Japan. Of course, they sing the major representative songs that were heard in 1976, such as "I Honestly Love You" and "Have You Never Been Mellow", but that is about 1/3 of the whole. The rest are plenty of big hits from "MAKING A GOOD THING BETTER" and "TOTALLY HOT" released after their first visit to Japan, and the musical movie "Grease". Cover songs such as Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are" and John Denver's "Follow Me" are scattered there. And the mood of the venue, immersed in the sea of such masterpieces, is also wonderful. Gentle clapping is warm in every song, and cheers fly from all over the venue between songs. Olivia speaks to her in a friendly manner, but in response to her, her name is called out in kana pronunciation, "Olivia!". Olivia introduces the song while bursting into laughter at the sudden name call. As mentioned above, this was a very controversial visit to Japan, but the atmosphere from this work is one of hospitality. There is a lot of Western music mood from the late 1970s. Two years after her first visit to Japan, which became a social phenomenon, her second visit to Japan became a social uproar in a different sense. There was an exchange between Olivia and her fans, who had overcome the uproar and reunited. This is a masterpiece of a live album where you can witness the scene and immerse yourself in her fresh singing voice. This is a piece where you can enjoy plenty of big hit songs that have become even richer since her first visit to Japan. This is a rare product that will carry you to "Nagoya in 1978". This is the first sound source to be released. And the sound is good. Recordings of her second visit to Japan in 1978 are extremely rare, and I'm sure there are many fans who will be experiencing the whole picture for the first time with this album. A vivid sound recording from 39 years ago (two months before the release of the movie "Grease"). As the year comes to an end, an incredible sound source that no one could have imagined has appeared!
