читать дальшеShimotsuki’s first live in 2006. When I first read the tracklist, I must say I was pretty excited, if only she were popular enough to release a DVD for it…
Anyway the first half is focused more on her commercial side, game related songs, while the second half is more on her doujin work. There are 2 songs done by other people that Shimotsuki sang in the concert – Tooi Ongaku, an old song by ZABADAK (1990), supposedly a pretty big hit back in the 90s (Shimotsuki mentioned ZABADAK is one of her music inspirations in her blog), and Yume wa Owaranai, the opening theme for Tales of Phantasia.
As for my top picks, they are Tsukioi no Toshi, Yuragu Sora, Kaze no Yukue and LUNA, it would be awesome to hear them live…Haruka Shimotsuki Solo live Lv. 2 13.07.2008 и 20.07.200801. Kaze no Yukue (風の行方 - Shimotsuki

читать дальшеI actually wanted to go to her second solo live, and almost did but ultimately I couldn’t buy the ticket. I managed to reserve the tickets at first but in the end I wasn’t able to pay for them – there were simply no options for someone who is not in Japan to pay them. They do accept credit cards but only credit cards issued in Japan… The second concert had many songs that I personally like a lot, too… *sniff*
Back the the music, the proportion of her doujin work is significantly less compared to her first live… which is a a bit worrying because it’d be bad if this is a sign she is moving away from her fantasy compositions. The “signature” doujin themes are back, namely Yuragu Sora and Tsukioi no Toshi, and apparently the acoustic versions were played. I haven’t heard it personally, and I am very curious about it myself… A few songs from Tindharia no Tane too, and the selections are good. Note that Yakusoku o Tomoshite is an extra track from the drama CD for Tindharia no Tane.
MANYO’s work is getting more attention, which is a good thing. LUNA is back again, I suppose Shimotsuki must have liked the song quite a bit to perform it twice. Yami no Kanata ni (opening theme for Aoi Shiro, PS2 game), a duet with Rita is the sleeper hit, not only was it the first time the full version was heard but it’s also one of my favourite songs for the concert. Rengoku is in too, awesome
Surprisingly 2 Ar Tonelico (Hymmnos) songs are featured. Didn’t expect it’d be possible to do them live since the songs usually involve a lot of instruments with multiple vocals and choruses. In any case I am really happy that they did it, EXEC_LINCA/. is good, although I would have preferred something else other than Hartes ciel, melenas walasye. (like EXEC_RE=NATION/. or EXEC_VIENA/.) , but I suppose they have to pick the “simpler” ones so that it’s doable.
There are 2 kukui songs sung - Toumei Shelter and Utsusemi no Kage. Would have loved if she did Hikari no Rasenritsu or Concordia…
Overall the list of songs look good, I’d probably like the first one a little more but the second one isn’t too bad. Favourites from the concert are Kaze no Yukue, Rengoku, Yuragu Sora, Tsukioi no Toshi, Yami no Kanata ni and LUNA, note that 4 of them were performed in the first live as well.
