"The World Only God Knows" concert report
On February 22nd, "Nakagawa Hanon starring Higashiyama Nao 2nd Concert 2014 RibbonIllusion" was held at the Maihama Theater in Japan. Hanon Nakagawa is a popular idol character in "The World Only God Knows", and Nao Higashiyama is also very popular in reality as the voice actor who plays the character. The two swords combined, so this Nakagawa Hanon concert was staged in reality.
In 2012, Nao Higashiyama held the first concert "RibbonRevolution" under the name of Hanon Nakagawa as the voice actor of Hanon Nakagawa. Due to the great acclaim after the concert was staged at that time, coupled with the broadcast of the third season of the anime in 2013, the official decided to hold the second Nakagawa Hanon concert again in 2014.
On the same day, Hanaon took the stage while singing "Birth" (the theme song of the first album) and "Colors" (the theme song of the second album). After taking the stage, he shouted "Let's keep everyone waiting!" (also the first lyric in "Youth Paradise") symbolizes the official start of the concert. Fans must have been very moved when they heard this, and they felt that it was not easy to see each other again after two years.
Then Hua Yin sang the three theme ending songs of the animation "The World Only God Knows" in one breath against the backdrop of the animated image on the big screen. After that, of course, a number of songs were composed around the theme of the four seasons, and under the dance of the dancers, the colors of the songs were more colorful and moving, and the fans were very cooperative, and the atmosphere was very high.
In addition to the songs from the second album, there were also songs from the first album in the second half of the concert. The songs from the first albums, such as "Heart RainRain" (ζ³γγ―RainRain) by Umbrella Watch XiΓ n and "Your Color LOVESONG" (εθ²γ©γγ½γ³γ°) using crutch watch XiΓ n, are also popular with fans. In the climax of the concert, Huayin changed into a pure white evening dress, played the piano and sang a song "LOVECALL", and the audience was moved.
If you've listened to the second album, you'll know that the selection of songs representing autumn and winter hinted at Huayin's lovelorn mood, so at the live meeting, Huayin also covered the immortal song of "Macross Fortress" - "Can You Ever Remember Love" (ζΒ·γγΌγγ¦γγΎγγ), which deepened the theme of the concert. When it came time to sing "Snowflakes from Tears" and "Cherry Blossom Graduation", snowflakes and cherry blossom petals slowly fell from the entire stage, and when the lyrics were sung, the whole singer burst into warm applause.
At the end of the concert, there will be energetic singing and dancing. Among them is the concert special song "Suppress Maihama!" (Maihama system pressure!) ), "To be on it! γοΌγγ£γγγΌοΌ and "Happy Crescent", and ended the concert with "DarlingBaby".
In the encore session after the end, Huayin covered the famous song of "Miyuki, Miyuki" - "Memories Are Like Stars" (ζ³γεΊγγγ£γ±γ). Finally, she closed the concert with the closing song of her second album "I'm Just Going to Go" (ζ©γγ¦γγγγ).
For those who were unable to attend the concert in person, the Blu-ray and DVD containing the day of the concert will be released on May 28. In addition to the content of the concert that day, there will also be a special performance video unique to the CD-ROM version, as well as a commentary track by Nao Higashiyama himself. I believe that this will also be a tempting souvenir for friends who have already been to the concert on the same day.
