[TRANS] Part 8. Nikkei Entertainment TOHOSHINKI
- We naturally started to talk about the third Dome tour starting on Nov 11. This time, they will have 14 concerts in 5 major cities in Japan, and are expecting to have in total of 650,000 audiences. There are not many artists even in Japan to have this scale of concert tour just after their hiatus. They cannot talk too much about the concert because it has not been started, but they gave me some hints.
YH: We talked a lot about something along the line that we want to do live concerts like this or discuss about what we want to do next before our hiatus, so we will show everything that we had thought of/planned this time. We could perform the most favorite song of our fans in a new version. We also want to do something new that we have not done systemically nor technologically before. We are trying to find the consensus of what everyone wishes to do.
- This time, you have not released a new original album, so I can’t imagine the set list at all. It is like the all-time best of Tohoshinki. I anticipate that audiences will be thrilled and cheer to you at each song.
YH: Yes, I hope so. But at the same time, we will be facing a great risk (laugh), we need to give the best live performance!
CM: In any case, we will perform songs mostly from this new album. We are in the position to give a stage to audiences, and I hope we can “enjoy” ourselves, like “Ah, we used to love this song.” I hope we can perform while having such thoughts in our mind.
YH: The set list is almost complete but I am afraid that we are making it too hard to ourselves. I think we need to challenge our limit again (laugh). It really is suited to Tohoshinki. But at the stand point of our audiences, I think that it is a great set list, so we will do our best.
The way they create their live stage is, in principle, based on the set list that their staffs prepared, but after members joined the team, they will revise and make adjustment to have the best stage. So the first list that the staffs prepared is about 60% of the completed version. They will reflect their ideas and a variety of ideas and polish it.
- I believe that fans want to see your live stages where the two of you took the major part in creating the stage. Do you think that your role will change in your future stages?
YH: We ask Sam-san (TRF) to be the director of the stage and I think we will always have Sam-san as the main creator/director of our stages. But of course, we will ask him to incorporate our ideas and this time, in some part, it is almost 100% of my original idea.
CM: I do not really persist like, “My idea should be incorporated!” As long as it is great live concert, I do not really care if my idea is considered as a top priority. It is more important to have a lot of meetings and pick the best idea.
