'Freedom with order'


VARIT is a small venue so I had been worrying about it but,
at the stage left side, even though I already said ‘step back, step back’
to those people from behind who obviously were shoving off the others surrounding them and try to squeeze their way until they are almost near me.
I got really sad.
Ignoring the resounding music and the atmosphere at that moment and shoving like that, what are you trying to do?
The leading part in a concert does not belong to the (band) members but the music that is flowing.

even after 10 years ** and I still have no choice but to write on my blog about this, I’m really sad.
do you want the concert to be stopped right at each time this happen and turn it into a homeroom.
And this did not happen just today in this tour. At various places, now and then too.
Well this is our responsibility.
Most people even when they are all squeezed up usually would still observe their manners while having fun

Back in the days I used to go for lives a lot
and I understand some negative points that happen at lives but no matter how obsessed with the sound from stage or the production, the enjoyment of live, 50% of it is decided by the human surrounding yourself
depending on the current state of the person who’s looking, something that is white can be black too, i think.

I go through this tour with the idea of this being the last one,
and then I think of it as the part 34 of my chance to see how far i can go as a bassist ***
But even then, to have troubles surfacing at other areas really make me sad.
the staffs also did whatever they can do best.
though seem like occasionally, annoying interaction with staffs did happen too.

Well even if I say this sort of thing,
if those people didn’t even realise they were being inconvenient to their surrounding, I guess they are being absent-minded.
Next time if there are more irresponsible act I’ll have no choice but get real angry.




-- Translator's notes:
** : the live he wrote about in this entry happened on 19/5/14 which was exactly 10 years since A9’s first performance on stage.
*** : my own guess, but maybe because this is the band’s 34th tour?
