Toto/Tokyo,Japan 2019 & SC

The latest tour to Japan “40 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN TOUR 2019” is currently making the archipelago crazy. A masterpiece original recording that allows you to experience the valuable sound check is now available as the first report. This work includes the “February 20, 2019: Nippon Budokan” performance, which ended to a full house. This week, the Osaka edition masterpiece “LIVE IN OSAKA 2019” will also be released at the same time, so let’s first check the show position on the schedule. February 14th: Hiroshima Bunka Gakuen HBG Hall ・February 16th: Kanazawa Opera Theater ・February 18th: Fukuoka Civic Center ・February 20th: Nippon Budokan [This work] ・February 21st: Osaka Castle Hall LIVE IN OSAKA 2019” February 23rd: Iwate Prefectural Civic Center February 25th: Century Hall, Nagoya International Conference Center February 27th: Sendai Sunplaza Hall A total of 8 performances. It traverses the archipelago from Tohoku in the north to Kyushu in the south. Although the number of performances is the same as the last time three years ago, the range has definitely expanded, and it is still a strong tour…or rather, it has become a large-scale tour that has regained its heyday. Among them, the Nippon Budokan of this work is a big stage that is the highlight. As of this update, the final performance in Sendai still remains, so this is truly the latest report. [Disc 1-2: Full live album with the best sound] This work is truly a masterpiece audience recording. This is an original recording that was directly digitized from the master given by the recording artist himself, and the solid core and crystal clear transparency are exquisite. Anyway, the guitar and singing voice jump straight into my ears. Although the recording position is not transmitted, judging from the sound it seems to be quite close to the PA side. I was able to absorb the lively applause, and when I listened to it with headphones, I could feel the acoustics of the venue, but the core was so strong that it completely overwhelmed it. Moreover, it is wonderful because it is both powerful and beautiful. The sound board sound from the PA output has a very faint venue acoustics, and is truly glossy. The acoustics are exquisitely mixed, like an official live album, and yet there is no artificiality like an official product. Only the tone shines while the direct feeling and details are vivid. In most cases, the venue acoustics of audience recordings are directly connected to cloudiness, but this work rather adds shine and beauty. It is a famous recording that embodies the model of audience recording. And, with such a sound, the 40th anniversary special show is currently receiving rave reviews. , a fiercely fresh masterpiece rush that is truly the “best of the best”. The show consists of three parts with an acoustic set in the middle, and each section is full of rare songs. The first part opens with a sudden new song “Devil’s Tower”, and then slides into “Hold The Line”. The opening line directly connects 2018 and 1978, making you feel the span of 40 years, and after that, the best album “English Eyes”, “Jake to the Bone”, and “I Will Remember”, which have not been heard for more than 10 years, are included. 40 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN”‘s new song “Alone” is included, and the album ends with “Rosanna.” Years of “memories” and “now” intersect beautifully, and the representative songs perfectly liven things up. He is able to put on a “fresh but nostalgic” show that is only possible because he is a veteran. And the second part is unplugged. If “Human Nature”, which was performed in collaboration with Michael Jackson, is surprising, “No Love” by “MINDFIELDS”, which was played for the first time on this tour, and “Girl Goodbye”, which has been played for the first time in a while, are also fresh. In fact, “I’ll Be Over You” will appear for the first time on the tour. It was removed overseas and could not be heard on the official live album “40 TOURS AROUND THE SUN”. Although the rarity is slightly lower, it is a song that I wanted to keep, and the beautiful melody still touches my heart. (For now) it’s a special performance only available in Japan. This is Disc 1, and Disc 2 starts from the third part, which introduces the members and returns to electric. Once again, the rare repertoire is dizzying. “Lion” has vocals, and it also includes the first movie soundtrack song in 30 years, “Dune (Desert Theme),” the Beatles cover “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” and the first song in 12 years, “Make Believe.” Unfortunately, I couldn’t listen to “Angela” because David Paich was absent, but this tatami is overwhelming. And the encore after the big finale “Africa” was also a surprise. Just before Oceania, they played a cover of WEEZER’s “Hash Pipe,” but in Japan they changed it to “THE SEVENTH ONE”‘s “Home of the Brave.” I apologize to WEEZER fans, but I think this is the correct answer. [Disc 3: Valuable sound check recording] Although such a full live performance alone is enough, this work also includes a valuable sound check on the day. It is an audience recording of about 30 minutes by the same recording artist, but this is also amazing high sound quality. Although the empty Budokan has a stronger echo feeling than the actual performance, it also enhances the beauty of the chorus many times over. Coupled with the lack of popularity, TOTO’s exclusive sense of privacy is truly delicious. If the sound is delicious, the content is also delicious. A sound check may mean trying out each instrument, but TOTO played fairly well. “Alone,” “Girl Goodbye,” “I Will Remember,” and “I’ll Be Over You” will entertain you with relaxed yet authentic band performances. “Lea” changes that mood. I thought, “Wow!” since I didn’t do it in the actual show, but it was actually quite a bit of fun. This is a fun version that will burst into laughter in about a minute. Furthermore, the new song “Devil’s Tower” is also slapstick. Although the riff cheers, the ensemble disintegrates after about a minute. It was funny to see the members laughing out loud and saying, “Is it METALLICA?” I try again, but I still feel like I can’t reach the end. This is a recording that allows you to experience the living band TOTO, which is different from studio recordings or live performances. The highly acclaimed 40th anniversary tour packed with rare songs. It is a masterpiece where you can enjoy the highlight performances and valuable sound checks. This is the first of the latest ongoing reports, and is a powerful and unparalleled 3-disc set. Please enjoy it to the fullest.
