Frontier concert's not bad!

Buy the disc

I went to Tommy's place to collect something. A new blu-ray disc bought online, he has been telling me this few days, and asking me to guess what it is.. Turns out to be.. Macross Frontier Galaxy Tour Final at Budokan. So I just have to stay for a while longer. We have Captain Jeffrey Wilder greeting the audience at Budokan. yeah hear him say "☆KIRA☆! Watashi no uta wo ki-ke! Minna! Dakishimete......" (OK, I can't do this anymore... I get goosebumps just recalling him saying all that!) So it was off to a start with Mei-san and Megumi, doing an even more jumbled-up version of "Nyan Nyan Special Service Medley", in HD blu-ray glory! (And Yoko-san in the background doing orchestra and piano)

Entertaining, it is. Every segment is crafted to have its own meaning, quite well thought off, you can see our favouite singers (doing some acting) getting emotional... although it gets pretty lame at times. One of the best things I like about LIVE concerts is, the songs are different (from the original). The occasional higher-than-usual keY, the dragging of a note... The perfect song is in the studio, in the CD. Frankly, quite a lot, if not most, of the artistes can't sing as well as they did on their CDs. Why? Because the CD version is the flawless version. They can do it again and again, and choosing only the best 'takes' for the final product. Not enough breath to do that all-towering segment in one shot? No problem, cut and paste. ( I think so...hehe [citation needed] ) Contradicting, although a no-mistake concert is cool, I thought a blunder would be cute.. (I hope I am not offending any artistes here...bleh... imagine the stress accompaning it.. ) I left halfway, now off to think of another reason to go to his house again... Blog A rather long (and old) interview with Yoko-san. (OMG! Yoko-san started composing at 3!) Ahhh!!! Who is Gabriel Robin?? Blog covering another macross event - Superdimensional Super Live Concert by Ranka Lee and Sheryl Nome Report. (Nyan nyan!)
