Description
Following the sudden death of Olivia Newton-John, the collection of her visit to Japan has been continuously unearthed with superb recordings. The latest original recording, the first public release in 2003, has been decided to be permanently preserved. This work is engraved with the performance of “April 6, 2003: Tokyo International Forum”. It is a super-class audience recording that vacuum-packed the whole story. Speaking of the visit to Japan in 2003, the newly excavated live album “NAGOYA 2003”, which was famous for its TV broadcast pro shots and was released, is also a big hit. Of course, this work is a different concert from those. First, let’s understand each position in the schedule at that time. ・April 2 “NAGOYA 2003” ・April 4: Tokyo International Forum ←※TV broadcast ・April 6: Tokyo International Forum ←★This work★ ・April 7 “OSAKA 2003” ・April 8: Fukuoka Civic Hall All five performances. The International Forum had two consecutive performances, and the first day was broadcast on TV, April 4th. This work is the second day in Tokyo, which is different from that. This work, which conveys such a scene, is a truly shocking masterpiece. After all, it is no less than the shocking work “NAGOYA 2003” that I introduced the other day. This time, it is definitely a recording of the audience only from the original master handed over by the recorder himself, but the essential performance sound / singing voice is completely away from the audience. The core is extremely thick and approaches without a sense of distance, and the details are super clear. The hall sound is so faintly transparent that you can’t even be aware of it even if you listen carefully with headphones. As usual, the sound of the snare has a sense of space, so it is not mistaken for a sound board, but that is only a story of listening to it and “having to distinguish it”. As far as enjoying it as a music work goes, it is no different from FM broadcasting… or rather, it is not inferior to the sound board sound of the TV broadcast pro shot the day before. If you have experienced the “NAGOYA 2003” that we introduced, you may be wondering “Which is better?”, but this is really difficult to decide. Even the staff could not decide between them. In comparison, “NAGOYA 2003” has a slightly thicker sound and is therefore more dynamic, while this work has a wonderful sparkling clarity. Also, “NAGOYA 2003” was almost entirely occupied by performance sounds and singing voices, but this work also absorbs vivid clapping. In a word, “NAGOYA 2003” is “rich and music-oriented sound”, and this work is “clear and realistic experience sound”. Although the personalities are different, it is still a recording of the two giants of the East and West that cannot be defeated. If there is even one on the world tour, it is lucky to have two super high-quality sound sounds of the same dimension from the same country. Such a miraculous transcendent sound is drawn, and the repertoire that was cut in the TV broadcast pro shot is also delicious full show. In fact, the set is the same as that of “NAGOYA 2003,” but let’s clarify it here just to be sure. MCA/RSO era: If Not For You: If Not For You/Banks Of The Ohio; Breeze Temptation: Have You Never Been Mellow/I Honestly Love You; Twilight Love: Sam/Don’t Stop Believin’; Grease: You’re The One That I Want/Hopelessly Devoted To You/Summer Nights; Xanadu: Xanadu/Magic/Suddenly; Acoustic Medley: If Not For You/Banks Of The Ohio/Let Me Be There/Please Mr. Please/Jolene; Others: Take Me Home, Country Roads/Come On Over/Physical; After that: Gaia (A New Journey): Not Gonna Give Into It/Don’t Cut Me Down; Duet with Olivia: I Love You Crazy/I’ll Come Runnin’ (★); Others: Somewhere Over The Rainbow (＊)/Reason To Cry (＊★)/It Takes Two (＊★) / (They Long To Be) Close To You *Note: The * mark indicates a collaboration with her daughter Chloe Rose. The ★ mark indicates a song that could not be heard in the Tokyo performance pro shot. …And so it is. On TV, the only song that Chloe Rose appeared on was “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”, a duet with her mother, but in this work, all three songs, including her solo “Reason To Cry”, are covered, and you can also enjoy Olivia’s “I’ll Come Runnin'”. And even though the set is the same, it’s still a different concert. The nuances of the performance and singing are different, but what’s even more delicious is the atmosphere on site. In “Xanadu”, the MC also speaks in Japanese, “Konbanwa! Arigatou”, and between other songs, the audience shouts “Olivia!”, and she smiles happily and says “Kanpai!” You can be present at that homely scene with the best sound. As mentioned above, this work is super clear in clapping and cheering. In terms of achieving both sound quality and a realistic presence, this is a masterpiece that surpasses even “NAGOYA 2003”. I was surprised by “NAGOYA 2003”, but I never thought that there was another recording of the same level. The thrill of being able to fully experience a completely different concert with the transcendent sound of the broadcast level, even though it was at the same venue as the TV broadcast, is what shines now. A superb audience recording of the “April 6, 2003 Tokyo International Forum” performance. This is the original recording that will be released worldwide for the first time at the concert the next day, which is different from the famous TV broadcast. The quality is superb, the core is extremely thick, the distance is not felt, and the details are super clear. With a sound that is comparable to the soundboard sound of the TV broadcast the day before, you can experience a delicious full show of “Hopelessly Devoted To You”, “I’ll Come Runnin'”, “Reason To Cry”, and “It Takes Two”, which were not broadcast.
