蛮有意思的。看得出作者几乎没有怎么听过ASKA的音乐,但他(她?)还是被ASKA的歌声完完全全的感染了

My very first Japanese concert!!
Nevermind that he is now one half of duo CHAGE & ASKA from decades ago.
Nevermind that he is now a 50-year-old ojisan (uncle).
Nevermind that i have not heard many of his songs... erm... or maybe had heard only one song.
Nevermind the pricey tickets. i wouldn't have gone if CQ did not jio me.
The thing is it would be my very first Japanese concert! And this might be the only time ASKA would be singing here! (Seeing how small the local market is for Japanese concerts). And he is collaborating with The Philharmonic Orchestra of Singapore, singing at the Esplanade. i'm sold!
The concert was attended by an expected predominantly Japanese crowd. Not sure whether was it due to the Japanese culture, or was it the "classy" setup in the Esplanade and with the Orchestra? The audience was rather subdued. Still, i think it was a SUGOI concert!
Sugoi seats! Our seats at Circle 1 Balcony A was the best in the house! Unrestricted view of the stage, orchestra and ASKA (even though we were looking at his right side most of the time. hehe.)
Sugoi singing! Gosh! He sounds exactly the same as his CD! i realised that i do have one CD in my mass collection and was playing it this afternoon to refresh my memory. lol. REALLY powerful vocals! You can even hear him sing standing more than 1m away from the mic! And he's so engrossed in his singing, so nice to see him sing! 认真的男人最帅!
Kakkoii ojisan! ASKA smiled at me!!! He looked at our balcony at the start of the concert and smiled when i waved at him. hehe. He looks so cute, he doesn't look like a 50yr-old uncle! Still looks like the ASKA on my CD sleeve (and that was from donkey years ago!)
He sang mostly songs from his solo albums. So for the majority of the concert, i'm hearing them for the first time. Perhaps it was the collaboration with the orchestra, perhaps it was his 有感染力的唱功, you just feel very comfortable listening to the concert. No gimmicky act, dance or costume. It was just his plain voice and the orchestra. Not even backup singers.
He's still on for another night at the Esplanade. Catch him if you can! (^^,)v |
