Europe/Kanagawa,Japan 4.27.2019

The 2019 Japan tour, which featured a wide range of classic songs while changing the set list significantly at every performance. The latest and best live album is here. This work contains the “April 27, 2019: Club Citta Kawasaki” performance. It is a super-class audience recording. This Japan tour was held for three consecutive days at Club Citta Kawasaki without any local performances. The first day album “KAWASAKI 2019 1ST NIGHT” will also be released at the same time, but this work is a live album on the second day as the title suggests. It is a super-fast report that was introduced just three days after the show. The quality of this work is super-fine, which is not suitable for a fast report. In fact, the two titles are sister works by the same recording artist. Yes, it is the latest recording by the master “Western Japan’s Strongest Taper”, who is familiar with our HR/HM titles. And the sound of this work is not inferior to the sister work “1ST NIGHT”. The recordings are very similar because the same recording artist, equipment, and venue are all there, and the amazing skills are always said to be “like a sound board” and “better than the sound heard on site”. The sense of closeness is abnormal, and it seems like a direct sound board connected to the desk, or a recording in a rehearsal room. Even though digital equipment has evolved significantly in 2019, it is rare to see such a sound. Even if you are not a fan of EUROPE, it is a transcendental recording of a dimension that you can enjoy enough just by the sound quality. It is a simultaneous release of a sister work that is truly super beautiful, but the contents are completely different. As mentioned at the beginning, the three performances this time are bold enough to replace half of the set list. Moreover, the albums featured in each performance were specified, so it was a taste that you can enjoy freshly no matter how many times you visit. We will leave the explanation of the special albums for the three days to “1ST NIGHT”, and here we will organize the set contents of this work by album. [All days] ● THE FINAL COUNTDOWN (5 songs) ・ Rock the Night, Carrie, Ninja, Cherokee, The Final Countdown ● OUT OF THIS WORLD (3 songs) ・ Sign of the Times, Ready or Not, Superstitious ● WALK THE EARTH (3 songs) ・ Walk the Earth, The Siege, Turn to Dust [Daily songs] ● EUROPE (5 songs) ・ In the Future to Come, The King Will Return, Seven Doors Hotel, Paradize Bay, Memories ● START FROM THE DARK (5 songs) ・ Got to Have Faith, Hero, Start from the Dark, Spirit of the Underdog, Wake Up Call … and so on. The number of songs and selections on the three discs “THE FINAL COUNTDOWN”, “OUT OF THIS WORLD” and “WALK THE EARTH” are completely the same on all three days. On the second day, the other albums “EUROPE” and “START FROM THE DARK” were replaced. And these two works are the start of each other. “EUROPE” was of course the debut work, but the other “START FROM THE DARK” was also the first work of the reunited EUROPE. Both were not stable periods, but masterpieces filled with memories of the time when they were just starting to run. Moreover, the selection is the rarest of the three days. “In the Future to Come”, “Paradize Bay”, and “Start from the Dark” are still just the beginning, having been performed for the first time in 5-6 years. If “Memories” is the first time in 9 years, “Got to Have Faith” and “Hero” are the first time in 11 years. “The King Will Return” and “Wake Up Call” are also being performed for the first time in 14 years since 2005. The best is “Spirit of the Underdog”. I thought I didn’t remember it, but it was actually the world premiere on this day. In fact, they have finished their tour with their Japan tour and are currently off. In other words, this work’s “Spirit of the Underdog” is their only live performance. This work allows you to experience such rare songs with the world’s rarest and best sound. Although it is a breaking news work of the latest visit to Japan, it is also a historic live album that will blow the minds of enthusiasts all over the world. EUROPE changed the set significantly over three days and showed a complete sweep of the masterpieces scattered over their long career. This is a sister work that allows you to experience the first and second days with the transcendent sound of the same recording artist. Moreover, this work is also a shocking work that will attract attention from all over the world with its extremely rare set. The popularity will be split for each album featured on each day, but it is a rare gem in the entire history of EUROPE, which is full of more value than that.
