Ep 17 - Summer Live pt 2

Summer Paradise Solo concert: “Sato Shori summer Live 2017 ~VIC’s sTORY~”

This year, the title of my live concert has a subtitle for the first time! „VIC“ is the abbreviation of VICTORY, which is my nickname in the English-speaking world. Since a few years ago it was given to me by an acquaintance and I always use it when I go abroad so to me it’s familiar but my fans might be surprised, right? You must be surprised!... All jokes aside (laughing), „VIC’s sTORY“ actually means „Shori’s story“. The lower case „s s“ letters are my Sato Shori initials. The concert’s theme will be like my subtitle says, about my story. I thought „Can I make a movie of my life?“ and got a little bit carried away by my thoughts (laughing). Well, first of all let’s try showing that in a concert! And from that on steadily expand these ideas. This year there will be more of a band feeling and I plan on having a stronger stage presence than before. Of course I will also play the guitar. Now the set list is settled and our preparatory meetings are almost over but I couldn’t write the lyrics of my new songs yet (laughing). No, the first one, I could do it. I mean, I wrote it in about two days. Usually I take 3-4 days to write so I thought this was fast! But the second one I couldn’t write at all and now it has already been three weeks. I was trying to write playful lyrics so I’m struggling hard to get to my earnest roots (laughing). But it’s very exciting to create such a stage from the beginning. I want to absorb many things this summer for my solo concert so I can bring it back to Sexy Zone!

To Shori from Sou: Because I think Shori has a strong image of going an easy road in Johnny’s, somehow I want to see Shori destroy that and blow us away. For example, like Kento-kun’s loveholic aura, doing really sweet songs with cheesy lines, I expect Shori to come at us with a punch! (laughing).

Keep in mind I am not a native speaker therefore there might be mistakes in my translations. Also I’m not exactly translating word for word. Feel free to correct me in my ask box any time you want, I’d appreciate it! I apologize if someone already translated something before me and I didn’t notice, I hope you don’t mind.
