Bryan Ferry/Tokyo,Japan 2019

Bryan Ferry’s first solo visit to Japan in 17 years ended with great acclaim. Two of the latest original recordings will be released at the same time. There are only two performances in Japan this time, one in Osaka and one in Tokyo. This work is a masterpiece audience recording of “March 13, 2019 Orchard Hall Performance”, which is the Tokyo edition. Although it has been 17 years since Ferry performed solo, he came to Japan with ROXY MUSIC nine years ago. In any case, it’s been a while since he last visited Japan, but it’s a good opportunity to take a look back at his history of visiting Japan. ・June 1977: Solo first visit to Japan (4 performances) ・April 1979: ROXY MUSIC first visit to Japan (3 performances) ・February 1983: ROXY MUSIC visit Japan #2 (7 performances) ・October 1988 : Solo visit to Japan #2 (8 performances) ・March 1995: Solo visit to Japan #3 (8 performances) ・September 2001: ROXY MUSIC visit to Japan #3 (3 performances) ・November 2002: Solo visit to Japan #4 (2 performances) ・July 2010: ROXY MUSIC visit to Japan #4 (1 performance) ・March 2019: Solo visit to Japan #5 (2 performances) 42 years have passed since his first solo visit to Japan in 1977 eye. This was his 5th solo performance and his 9th performance in Japan. This work, which records such a Tokyo night, is a beautiful recording that seems to be the ultimate in neatness. It is not as sound board-like as the simultaneously released “OSAKA 2019”, but it is really good. The ferry’s mild sound and Orchard Hall’s venue acoustics blend exquisitely without any boundaries, creating a meltingly sweet sound space. Of course, a blurry sound would be putting the cart before the horse, but that’s not the case. The solid core goes straight to your fingertips, the atmosphere is crystal clear, and you can clearly understand every word of the lyrics. While boasting such clarity, the sound of the hall that rises from the core like an aura is fantastic and truly sexy. For example, saxophone. If the outline of the melody is clear, the detail that even the breathing can be felt is wonderful. On top of that, the sound extends beautifully through the crystal atmosphere. Its tone has a metallic shine and an enchanting sex appeal. Furthermore, the mid-bass sounds are beautiful. In particular, bass sounds tend to be a weak point in audience recordings, and it’s not uncommon for the peaks to be loud or sparse. However, this work has plenty of response, and yet it has an excellent sense of stability without even the slightest disturbance. Jerry Meehan’s bass has a sweet tone and spins lines gracefully, and Luke Ballen’s beat has a firmness to it. The groove of Takumi, who has been supporting Ferry for many years, is neither too strong nor too recessed, and it sounds really pleasant. And the singing voice of Odai Ferry. This is already exquisite. The nuances of whispering voices are clearly conveyed, and the mature singing style is also colored by beautiful acoustics. You can completely immerse your whole body in the sexy sound that is impossible with sound board recording. The show drawn with that sound is also wonderful. The set will be the same for both Osaka and Tokyo, with a large selection of ROXY MUSIC and solo masterpieces. It has been announced that a tour featuring “AVALON” will be held in July of this year, but in Japan, not only “AVALON” but also the debut album “ROXY MUSIC” and the solo blockbuster “BOYS AND GIRLS” will be released. Pillar. And everything else is delicious. The solos are narrowed down to delicious songs from the period such as “Tokyo Joe,” “Bete Noire,” and “Zamba,” and ROXY MUSIC is evenly sprinkled with famous songs from all albums. The overwhelming thing is the second half of the show. Disc 2 of this work is completely filled with ROXY MUSIC numbers, except for Orasu’s “Let’s Stick Together.” Particularly impressive are the three songs “Avalon,” “Love Is the Drug,” and “Remake/Remodel.” Ferry also plays the keyboard, and Chris Spedding’s guitar is sometimes lyrical and sometimes cutting sharply. A delicate and magnificent ensemble was carefully cultivated, and it blended beautifully with the highly aesthetically pleasing singing voice. It is full of indescribable emotion and flavor. A treasure chest of masterpieces with beautiful sounds. It is a masterpiece of a beautiful live album that will make you forget even the emotions of the first time in 17 years and just be completely intoxicated. This feeling of hugging is something that can only be allowed for excellent audience recording. This is a book that allows you to enjoy such a luxurious moment with your entire body.
