Kanno Yoko live at Sejong Center, Seoul Korea in June 2007

Hi all
First of all, sorry for my poor English. I'm Korean. I hope you guys can understand me.
Well, is there anyone who still remembers Yoko-san's Ragnarok 2 concert in Korea about 4 years ago?

I WAS THERE! It really was great. 3000 people from all provinces of Korea came to see Yoko-san's very first live concert in Korea.
I was so lucky because at that time, I was just discharged from the army service (I'm still in Reserved Force ).
If she came to Korea just one month before the original schedule, I could have missed that historical concert.
About the half of the songs were from Ragnarok 2 online, whose original soundtrack was composed by Yoko-san. The rest were from her previous works such as Ghost in the Shell:SAC, Cowboy Bebop, and Escaflowne.
As you guys might know, in the concert, Maaya-san appeared as a guest vocalist (with Origa and Yamane Mai),
and sung a few of her best songs from Arjuna and Escaflowne.
She also featured as a chorus singer for Origa and Yamane Mai.
I was sitting at the 5th row from the stage, so I could clearly see her face and listen to her angelic voice!!
Well, believe it or not, my eyes met hers for a brief moment and I just couldn't breathe... I was so happy!
I'll never forget the moment until I die..
Well, after the concert, I thought that Gravity (the game publisher of Ragnarok online and the host company of Ragnarok 2 concert) would release concert DVD, or CD album at least, but they didn't.
I was so frustrated and made my personal live concert album out of the wave file that I recorded during the concert, as a memento for the greatest time that I ever had in my entire life.
I lost the archive when I formatted my computer a long time ago, but a few weeks ago I found it again when I was browsing my old CD rack.
I thought that you guys might be happy to listen to the concert recording, especially Maaya's, so I uploaded it.

Since I recorded it with my mp3 player, sound quality is rather poor, especially for the first few songs because of the mistakes of the sound engineers (too much reverb and echo... I couldn't hear voice)
But I tried my best to enhance the sound quality by giving various effects with Soundforge 9.0. I think the sound quality is just.. bearable.
I hope you guys enjoy this great concert like I did
Have a nice weekend!
