10.12.22 About the triumph lives
Finishing the America tour, Akanishi is now rehearsing "Yellow Gold Tour 3010 Akanishi Jin America Tour Triumph Live 3011" in Japan. Having the America tour in hand, he got to talk a lot about the global contract with the Warner Music Group and the upcoming triumph lives.
I've finished the America tour and returned safely. Because of everyone, I was able to decide on the record company, and is now rehearsing for the triumph lives that starts on Jan.14th, 2011.
Since there were lots of requests from everyone, additional shows have been decided for the triumph lives.
Having those that are looking forward to my stage, I'm really glad and am truly thankful about everything.
Performing in front of all those who has been supporting me, I myself is very excited. This time I thought I should show how "Akanishi Jin will continue in this style".
The triumph live this time is a chance for me to bring the America tour lives to Japan. I thought I could have everyone experience what I've felt and did in America. Although there is a difference in venue sizes, I want to bring the show to everyone as close as possible.
The America tour lives took place in places other than just LA. In all those venues, loads of people came out and we all enjoyed the performances together.
The hard part of the tour is moving to different venues. This time, the path is not like a round trip, and it goes East and West in a zigzag way. It's also a tight sense in terms of the schedule. I had to dance a lot, although I also ate a lot, Japanese food is better after all (laugh). On the hard part, my muscles are also kind of stiff afterwards.
Although I was nervous before the tour, that doesn't just go with performing oversea (laugh). Saying "I'll work hard" and heading out, in the different places and different venues, reversely I've received energy from them.
The dance team had the same members as the previous America lives, so I had a sense of calmness.
Other than that, all of my stage members had the, "I'm the center of attention! I'll enjoy it myself!" feelings energetically, not wanting to lose myself, I'll do all that I like! in which, I was also stimulated by them.
Also I had to interact with all the staff from there myself...although it was tough, I've truly felt it in my hands.
There were a lot of people who came to see the America tour...although I've already mentioned, those that I've signed the contract with Warner Music Group also came to watch the live.
I introduced them wanting just a few to come, but with everyone being at my live, I was really happy about it.
I was very nervous for the triumph press conference as well. I'm not good with press cons in the beginning anyways (laugh). Although I still didn't feel the sense of reality, I'm progress forward, challenging singing and dancing, and expanding my world from now on. Though I still won't change my pace, that's kind of contradicting as I said it (laugh). Anyways, I will only be focusing carrying forward for now.
The triumph tour is also a part of my making of the album...forming a part of my project and progression. Of course I have songs that I'll sing for the first time in Japan lives, those that I've never performed in America as well.
The songs I'll perform, depending on the reactions from everyone, I'll get them into the album. Preparing for that right now, so please look forward to it!
Year 2011, I thought to stepping into the world more, and still being able to carry my pace.
Merry Christmas! &Happy New Year!!
Wish everyone would have a wonderful year as well!
Like so, looking back to the activities that happened in year 2010, Akanishi talks about his goals for year 2011.
Lastly, "Triumph live, additional shows in Nippon Budokan, and Kobe World Hall has been decided for February.
I'm truly thankful for all the requests for wanting to watch and the additional lives being added.
Having lives in Japan has been a year since "You&Jin".
I don't know what to say...but I think you'll have fun, so please look forward to it when you come!
Again, see you in the live venue (smiles shyly)!!"
Which, he further talks about his gratitude towards the fans.
