Marillion/Kanagawa,Japan 9.16.2018

MARILLION miraculously returned to Japan in about a year. The latest and best live album is here!!! The live album “OSAKA 2018” in Japan has been very well received, and this work is also the second report with original recordings. “September 16, 2018: Club Citta Kawasaki” performance. This is the best audience recording. Last year was their first visit to Japan in 23 years, but this time it’s their first time in 11 months!!! “KAWASAKI 2017 1ST NIGHT” will be released at the same time, so let’s organize the two visits to Japan together by schedule. [2017]・October 20: Club Citta Kawasaki “KAWASAKI 2017 1ST NIGHT”・October 21: Club Citta Kawasaki [2018]・September 13: ZEPP Namba “OSAKA 2018”・September 15: Club Citta Kawasaki September 16th: Club Citta Kawasaki ★This work★ This is all 5 performances of Live in Japan in 2017/2018. There have been no new releases in the past 11 months, and these five performances can be considered collectively. All except “OSAKA 2018” are at Club Citta Kawasaki, and this work is a live album on the final day. This work is a superb audience recording of exquisite quality. “OSAKA 2018” was also a wonderful masterpiece by “Western Japan’s Strongest Taper”, but this work is also a masterpiece. Of course, this is also the work of a master original master who has produced many masterpieces in the Kanto area. Our store is well-known for its masterpieces by Jeff Beck, Elton John, Hall & Oates, and more. In terms of recent progressive rock, Steve Hackett’s “DEFINITIVE KAWASAKI 2018” and CAMEL’s “KAWASAKI 2018 3RD NIGHT” have also received rave reviews. This work is an exceptional one even in such a master collection. As you can probably understand from Hackett and CAMEL, Club Citta is his garden for this person. He knows the acoustics well and is sure to hit the sweet spot. In addition, MARILLION’s own sound output was also clearly understood in the previous year’s “KAWASAKI 2017 1ST NIGHT”, and they were in an ironclad lineup. It is a masterpiece recording that has been made as much as possible. The show drawn by such a beautiful sound is the latest MARILLION world, which is similar to but different from Osaka. The band always changes their set during consecutive performances at the same venue, but in fact, the five performances listed above are all different. If you compare it with the nearby “OSAKA 2018”, 6 songs have been replaced, and it leans more towards classics. In place of the suite “El Dorado: I-V” and the recent songs “Quartz” and “Power,” songs such as “The King of Sunset Town” and “The Space…” from “SEASONS END” and “HOLIDAYS IN EDEN” will be played. ‘No One Can’. The final part is even more delicious. Following “Three Minute Boy”, “The Release”, which was the B-side of the single “Easter”, was played, followed by “Market Square Heroes”, the debut single! Moreover, none of the numbers listed here are the same as the gift album “KAWASAKI 2017 1ST NIGHT” that came to Japan last time. In addition to changing everything during the 5 performances in Japan twice, we were able to put together such a delicious set at the end. It is also a show that makes you realize how they continued to write a large amount of famous songs. And the performance that spells out that set is amazing. Particularly overwhelming is Steve Hogarth’s singing voice. He has released three consecutive works since last week, and this one especially captures his beautiful voice beautifully. The voice that sings carefully can be felt up close, and not only one word of the lyrics, but even one voice is extremely clear. Each word he says is full of confidence and is powerful as if pushing MARILLION’s world view. At last year’s performance in Japan, there was a slightly nervous mood on the first day after 23 years, but in this work, with 5 performances for the second consecutive year, he has completely made Japan his own. You can listen to plenty of Hogarth’s true talent that is comparable to many official live works. It is a superb live album that contains the last show even after miraculously coming to Japan for two years in a row. This work alone is a masterpiece, but it is also fun to compare the East and West shows together with “OSAKA 2018”, and it is also excellent as a set with “KAWASAKI 2017 1ST NIGHT” as a collection at the same venue for two consecutive years. This is a work that is essential no matter how you enjoy it. This product is especially recommended in this release rush.
