つばき Tsubaki @ 代官山Unit (10.30.10)

(photo by Mai OGAWA from Tsubaki Blog :) )



HOHOHO!!!!!!!!!!!!! My first show in Japan (after moving here) ^_^

Glad it's TSUBAKI!!!!!!!!!!! (again, biased, I see hmm hmmm)!

What can I say about this live???

IT BLEW ME AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must say, of all the Livehouses I've been to, Daikanyama Unit has the BEST SOUND SYSTEM. Seriously!

Why was I so incredibly impressed with this show was because, actually, I am totally unfamiliar with Tsubaki's new songs because of the lack of listening to the songs.

However, when they played it during the live, it was just ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
The way the songs translated, it was like Tsubaki x 1000!!!
Seriously.

Just absolutely beautiful and BRILLIANT.

Not only the power and energy of Tsubaki's songs were so well captured, but also the beauty and refinement of the songs (which are often lost in the "loudness" of lives) were also preserved and amplified! Really, really, absolutely awesome, Tsubaki.

I especially loved it when they played 僕だけの季節 and 声の行方... At that time, when I heard the opening electronic sounds of 僕だけの季節, I thought to myself "Oh shit, Tsubaki, don't go INDIE ROCK on my ass!!!!!! TOOOOOOO many good bands went to shitz that way NOT YOU TOO!!!"... i was so fucking worried... THENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN BLOODY HELL, Isshiki plunged into his MIGHTY KICK ASS guitar riffs and SAVED THE DAY! which, if you listen to the album, the rocking parts flows in... in the live THAT POWER just KICKS YOU IN THE ASS! BLOWS YOU AWAY! INCREDIBLEEEEE Isshiki, INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same goes for 声の行方, バス停前, いたい... You really think they went indie rock for a second AND THEN they punch you in the face with those INCREDIBLE rock tracks Tsubaki is SOOOOOOO fucking amazing AT!!!!!!!

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME.

The show had DEFINITELY made me LOVE LOVE LOVE the album wayyyyyyyyyyyy more.

They really managed to take the power of the songs in the album and just exploded it in the live.

KUDOS!
