Maaya's Osaka live
Posted: 2009-01-23 06:46
So Yuki and I went to the concert. EVERY song was SPECTACULAR! This is the list plus a comentary:
1. Vento
2. Get no satisfaction. She appeared behind a white screen wearing a red outfit and started singing. This is such a fun song, it was a great start.
3. Triangler. I knew she was going to sing this but I didn't realise how great this song is live. @Mike, if she sang the Mac F version the way she sang the live version this song would be counted among her best. Her performance was really gutsy and strong, without the annoying high notes.
4. Loop. Lovely.
5. Kazemachi Jetto. The Kazeyomi version. Sooo goood. She was dancing and holding up her hands when she sang the "kono te wo.." bit.
6. Ame ga furu. Strong, beautiful performance. Even Yuki who didn't think much about this song liked the live.
7. New song (I don't know the title, sorry, but it was one of the upbeat ones)
8. At this point she said "I will sing some of my old songs". Yuki and I looked at each other like OMG. And she sang..... Kiseki no umi! Amazing, amazing. A this point I officially died and went to heaven.
9. Kaze ga fuku hi. Always a great song to really hear Maaya's voice. The live was no different, gentle, airy, beautiful.
10. Purarine. This has been on my all time favourite shortlist since I got the single so needless to say I loved the live version.
11. A pause and costume change here. The pianist played Lucy, Maaya changed to a much nicer dress in pale yellow with ribbon straps that ended a bit above her knees and sang:
12. Honey Bunny. She was kinda sexy, stalking along the top of the stage singing.
13. Makiba Alice. Lucky 13, really upbeat and fun.
14. Tune the Rainbow. Breathtakingly beautiful live.
15. Bokutachi wo koi suru riyuu. Another gentle, sweet song. She said this was an important song for her.
At this point she chatted, and introduced the band, talked about doing lives which led to:
16. Hikari Are. WOW! The lightshow was well synchronised, the song was , as ever, superb.
17. Mameshiba. With the "yeay, yeah, yeah, yeah" at the end. I love this song so much its ridiculous.
18. Saigo no Kajitsu. Beautiful and moody.
19. Another new song (don't blame me, I haven't heard the album yet)
And they left the stage but came back for an encore (funny story I'll let Yuki tell that one).
Encore 1. And a costume change to a black top and pale blue Ranka style skirt.
20. Platina. Come on, its platina. How can it be bad?
21. Pilot. I normally don't listen to this song much but the live was really great.
22. Yakusoku wa iranai. Wonderful.
Encore 2. She talked about learning to play the piano, which was funny and kinda sweet, which led to :
23. No Fear~aisurukoto. Yet another simple, sweet song with Maaya on the piano.
24. Poketto karanishite. The last song. She got us to help sing the chorus and the "la la la" bit.
The End.
Edit: so the songs were Remedy and Kazemidori respectively.
