Special thanks to dearest friends who helped me in English translation ♥
Unlike the first concert, people who write report for day 2 are kind of difficult to find. Glad that I found takitty's tweets. I didn't find the setlist though. It should be the same as the other venue, but since Tomoya messed it up, now I kind of wonder...
Since this will never be good and lacking here and there, I apologize for any mistake. I hope this is not confusing. The italic part in brackets is note added by me
Okay, here's the report! (・∀・)ノ
✩✩
ONE OK ROCK that's different from the usual. Musical space created manually for everyone. What a warm time. Thank you to everyone who has come to Tohoku. I won't forget this special day.
I'm grateful to many people who have voiced out today. Thank you for giving me a beautiful time.
Clock Strikes
Without fully grasping the result of Wo-oh part of an acoustic set that's different from the usual, in the end, the audience was being calmed because they were getting tired. Taka said, "I think we're going to play with this handmade feeling *laughs*"
Smiling Down
Before Smiling Down, Taka said, "Next, we will play the song that we couldn't do in the (previous) tour." The audience went buzzing. Taka continued, "No! It's not a new song. *laughs* Since we got the theme for JinseixKimi= tour, we couldn't do this song... This song is called Smiling Down" ..he was supposed not to tell the song title but he slipped out. The atmosphere of "Ah~" was flowing among the venue. Taka was cute as he said, "Ah, I unintentionally said Smiling Down. *laughs* Fine. We will do Smiling Down *laughs*"
Wherever You Are
Ryota and Tomoya went backstage. Wherever You Are was only performed by Toru and Taka. Everyone did the big chorus. Taka said, "You're good at singing eh~". Then someone in the audience said, "Should we make a debut?" and the venue went abuzz. While they were starting to do the guitar tuning, Taka said, "Eh, debut? We won't take any responsibility, though *laughs*"
(Takitty didn't say what song is this)
Taka played (the guitar) alone while he was speaking. When he finished, the members returned to the stage. Toru said, "How was that?" to which Taka replied, "Somehow because the members were always around me, (today) it gave me a kind of a exhausted feeling. Yesterday, I did this song with Toru, though." Toru said, "Yeah, today I wasn’t needed." Taka answered, "You got such a feeling, eh!"
(She also didn't tell about what song is this)
On the next song. There was a restless ambiance among the members except Tomoya. Taka said, "Umm, Tomoya just made a mistake on the song order. *laughs* Frankly saying, this boy seems to get the feeling that we (referring to surrounding, audience and members) didn't realize it *laughs*" But because it was followed with "Let's do it!" so Tomoya said after the song, "I'm sorry" and that felt calming.
Jam Session
The program of choosing one person from the audience to come to the stage and join ONE OK ROCK to do a jam session was awesome. One person was randomly chosen to come to the stage to make the groove, for real. I was jealous from the bottom of my heart!! I realized that the acoustic tour is really a special thing. Moreover, because that chosen girl was the girl I got along with before the concert began, it got me all excited! The T-shirt with all of the members' signatures and a written message about the proof of today's participation will (surely) be a treasure. I was satisfied that she sent me a picture of it. (*´ω｀*)
I'm going to add some situations on how that girl was chosen for the session. I will write roughly though. Explanation about the session was like other venues so I will skip it.
Taka : Anyone with good sense of rhythm!
Audience : Yees! *raising hands up*
Taka : Anyone who can go up on stage without feeling nervous!
The number of people raising their hands was slightly reduced
Taka : Eh, somehow it decreased a bit. LOL. The last, anyone who's deeply in love with ONE OK ROCK!!
The number of people raising their hands (suddenly) increased so much.
Taka : Whoaah, this made the number (of people want to participate) increased. *laughs* There are so many today, I can't choose, Lol! Tomoya, you choose.
Tomoya : So many of you, today. What should I do? Umm~
Everyone was calling Tomoya's name repeatedly
Tomoya : Eh~umm, okay then! Yup! *chooses one girl*
She came to the stage and shook hands with all members, and about how session went was like the other venue. After the session ended, she did a hi-touch with all members and even hugged Taka.
Extra (Not from Takitty's tweet)
✩ Setlist should be the same as the first day, but Tomoya made a mistake on the track order where he skipped over one song and started Nothing Helps which changed the track order of the second-half of the show. In usual live, he just had to focus and do it according to the order. But in this acoustic live, there will be such irregularity because of (the need to follow) Taka.
✩ Person who joined the stage today was a Chinese girl, and when Taka said to her, "Is it possible that you're the girl who wrote a letter for me?" it seems that the girl was exactly the one who sent him a letter.
✩ The girl who joined the stage on day two, probably some of you have known about it. She's Mion, who often shares her video records from SSTV with us. Lucky her, eh~
A little note
During the acoustic tour, Taka said something about handmade/homemade feeling. Its original word is 手作り感(tezukurikan), from word 手作り(tezukuri) means handmade and 感(kan) means feeling or sense. I don't know what word suitable to replace this but to describe what Taka meant is something like, that acoustic performance is about playing instrument, no need to use much effect like when they're doing band performance. The instrument section produces every note using manual (?) instrument, like acoustic guitar, acoustic bass and cajon, while in the band performance they will use electric ones. Sometimes I replace tezukurikan with manual since it gives the same vibe. But for anyone who can describe this kind of feeling, please share your thought to everyone on reblog.(・∀・)ノ
