Hiro Takahashi 1999 "Acoustic Night"
May 23, 1999 Shibuya DeSeO
It was fine day.The audience began to gather front of live house,Shinuya DESEO at 5 o'clock P.M.When live house opened, there are full of audience.It seemed to Hiro's fan came from every where in Japan.I met friends who come from Hiroshima, Osaka,Nagoya.DESEO is new ,small,clean.There are chairs few lines in front.Others joined standing behind.My family joined full member 5 for a long time.My youngest daughter joined concert after an interval of 14 months.She listened to his singing voice with deep emotion.Very nice!
He was standing near from me, but I thought that he was standing far from me ,because there was smoke on stage.He appeared on the stage, his costume was a black shirt an beige pants and he held a guitar in his arm.He started into this song"Taiyou ga mata kagayaku toki(When sun shines again)"at the beginning of this concert.This song is special song for me in his works.It is true "HIRO TAKAHASHI".The program contained many songs,works he made when he was in Media remoras,when he was in POPSICLE.And he sang a song written by Kyouhei tsutsumi,and new songs for Unit with TOMO,and new song for HIRO own.His live music is very nice, isn't it?! I wish him to hold more concerts.
His talking is interesting for me.He talked that he formed conbination with TOMO,he was making new songs for himself.The songs will be published from fan club.
I think that he progreses concert well.At first he grips the heart of audience by his song, and pulls into his world gradually.The audience listened to his singing voice of each song with deep emotion.I feel the adult world.My youngest daughter said that Hiro's fan is quiet,she feels uneasy if there is no call of encouragement,they feel not unpleasant but listen to his singing voice with deep emotion.Hiro's live concerts is nice.I feel the power of voice.
