Bon Jovi/Osaka,Japan 2003

Their biggest tour in Japan was the BOUNCE JAPAN TOUR 2003. This is the best live album of the tour. Their tour in Japan this year was simply huge. In terms of the number of tours, the 11 performances of the KEEP THE FAITH TOUR in 1993 are the most ever, but this 2003 tour was a dome tour. From Sapporo in the north to Fukuoka in the south, they completely conquered the five major domes (+1) in eight performances. This was not only BON JOVI, but the first huge project in the history of Japanese foreign artists. Let’s take a look at the hugeness of the tour from the schedule. January 8: Sapporo Dome January 11: Osaka Dome [This work] January 12: Osaka Dome January 14: Fukuoka Dome January 16: Tokyo Dome January 17: Tokyo Dome January 19: Yokohama Arena January 21: Nagoya Dome All eight performances. Of these, the recording included in this work is “January 11, 2003: Osaka Dome Performance”. This work is a wonderful audience recording that is not suitable for a dome performance. When you think of a dome, you may think of a blurred or bobbed image, but there is no need to worry about this work! On the contrary, it is a powerful recording that jumps straight into a thick musical sound that is not often heard at a normal concert venue. That is no surprise. The person who made this work is a legendary recording artist who was a master in Osaka from the 1990s to the early 2000s. Our shop has made many of these collections into CDs, and there are many masterpieces and masterpieces from Osaka such as RAINBOW, AC/DC, SYKES, Yngwie Malmsteen, and THE BLACK CROWES. In particular, if you are a BON JOVI fan, Richie Sambora’s “UNDISCOVERED SOUL IN OSAKA” is a masterpiece by the same recording artist as that masterpiece, faithfully converted to CD from the original DAT. It’s a beautiful recording that is completely “out of the dome”, but this work also has a certain “dome-ness”. It’s a huge spectacle. The three-dimensionality and perspective from the close-up audience to the far-away audience are amazing. In particular, the chorus of the famous songs is overwhelming. Speaking of BON JOVI’s concerts, the whole venue is involved in a chorus, but the singing voice is so wide that there is a time lag in the venue. The singing of the close-up audience coats the singing voice of John Bon Jovi, and the voices of the distant audience chase after him like an “echo”. The spectacle of the super-huge chorus of 50,000 people surges like a tsunami and the singing of “Oh, Oh, Oh♪” of “I’ll Be There For You” comes to a big chorus. And Richie Sambora’s sharp guitar sound cuts through it… it’s an emotional feeling that shakes the soul. Despite that power, only John’s singing voice is crisp and even his whispering voice is clear. As expected, this is a masterpiece by a master. Such sound quality depicts a dazzling rain of beautiful melodies. Seven songs from the new album “BOUNCE” at that time are included in the set, and there are plenty of big hits from the 80s. Of course, it is natural that the songs are good at BON JOVI’s shows, but this work is also great even to the band condition. The secret is in the schedule of the world tour. ・December 2002: Australia (3 performances) ・January 2003: Japan (8 performances) ←★Here★ ・February-April 2003: North America #1 (38 performances) ・May-June 2003: Europe (18 performances) ・July-August 2003: North America #2 (16 performances) This is the whole picture of “BOUNCE WORLD TOUR 2003”. The Japan performance is set at the beginning of the tour, but it is not a kickoff. Not only is there no fatigue, but the band’s engine is starting to start, and it is a passionate performance full of the spirit of “Finally, to the world!”. After this, there will be a big blunder at Yokohama Arena (you can enjoy it with the bonus 3 CDRs included with this work), but there is no sign of a downturn in this work. There is also the spirit to achieve the feat of “conquering the five major domes”, which will be the first in the history of foreign artists. In “Wild In The Streets”, John has an incident where he forgets the lyrics (the audience’s roar at this time is amazing), but even that feels like too much momentum. John, who apologizes in Japanese, is also playful, and it is a show full of Ikeike mood. 14 years have passed since that huge tour. BON JOVI is still extremely popular, but Richie Sambora has left and their appearance has changed. There may not be a big wave like this anymore. “BON JOVI’s conquest of the five major domes” shines brilliantly in the history of Western music in Japan, beyond the dimension of one artist. All of the music and performances that realized that feat. 100% authentic sound captured on 2 CDs, right in your hands.
