sanpo "人気グループ、KAT-TUNの上田竜也(24)が9月に東京・青海の特設会場「Johnnys Theater」で初のソロコンサートを開催することが25日、分かった。
KAT-TUNのメンバーでソロライブを行うのは初めて。もともとアーティスト志向の高い上田だが、今回は演出、プロデュースも担当。楽曲は自ら作詞作曲を手掛けた全オリジナル曲で、13曲ほどを予定している。これまでツアーで歌ったバラード系楽曲のほかに書き下ろしの新曲を紹介。ロックやダンスナンバー、民謡と幅広いジャンルに挑む。"
Ueda Tatsuya (24 years old) from the popular boyband KAT-TUN is going to hold his first ever solo concert in September in a special venue [Johnnys Theater] , located in Aomi(青海), Tokyo
This is the first time for the members in KAT-TUN to hold a live solo concert. As ueda has always known to have high standards, for this live performance he will also be responsible for composing the music and the lyrics in all the songs appeared in the concert, at the moment it is said to have 13 songs in total. Other than ballads songs which Ueda had been composing till now, new songs with different style will be introduced. Furthermore rock, folk and a wide range of genres will be challenged.
"また、趣味のボクシングを生かしたパフォーマンスも披露予定。上田は約3年前からほぼ毎日ジムに通ってトレーニングを積む本格派。鍛えあげられた肉体美は注目だ。約90分間のステージで多面的な魅力を全開にする。
現在、ツアーの合間を縫って、楽曲づくりに励む上田。以前から機会があればソロ公演をやりたいと思っていただけに念願がかなって気合十分。
「ライブなので、まずは自分の曲を聴いてもらいたいです。ボクシングのパフォーマンスでは、格闘技をやったことがないとできない、他の人がまねできないことを考えています」とアイドルの枠を超えた興味深い内容を約束した。照明にこだわり、火や水も使用予定と演出面でも魅せる。
会場は約3300人収容。「聴いて楽しめて、見て楽しめて、その両方を取り入れたい。お客さんの近くに行けるのも楽しみ」と客席との距離が近いステージに思いを馳せている。"
At the same time Ueda announces that he plans on doing a performance of his favourite sports - boxing. Ueda started to practice boxing everyday in boxing centre since three years ago, in a professional manner. The beauty of his trained physique is a must-see. He is going to display all his charms through boxing in the 90 minutes performance.
Recently in between of the tour, Ueda is enthusiasm towards composing new songs since he says he needs to prepare well and do his best in his future solo concert, due to the fact that it has always been his ultimate dream to hold a solo concert if he ever had a chance, since a long time ago.
"Since it's a LIVE performance, I want to let everyone listen to my songs first. I think this would be a very special performance since this is the first time for an idol to perform boxing on stage, nobody have done that before , never ever." In this way Ueda has guaranteed that the performance will be extremely interesting. In order to match with the lighting , it is said fire and water will also be used during the performance.
The venue is able to hold 3300 people " You can enjoy the music by listening, as well as watching. I hope to achieve from these two sides. I also look forward to get closer to the audience." Therefore the audience seats are set extremely near to the stage, based on this idea.
