Hate to say this but Shindaita's Fever sound was crap.
It's usually NOT that crap! In fact, I think next to Club Que, I've been to Shindaita Fever a LOT for shows in the past 4 months, and I think 3/4 of the past Tsubaki shows were here and the sound has always been good! (even when you're upclose, unlike Que where if you stand right in front of the stage especially to the sides, you can't hear anything because of the stage speakers).
But tonight was crap.
Then there was Lunkhead.
I was just thinking, when I was watching Odaka sing... Lunkhead, actually and not Tsubaki, was the band that actually got me to leave America. When I was still working in Boston, I remember I loved Lunkhead's Komorebi like TOTALLY, and I remember I thought to myself "I want to see this band live, SOON." and that was the reason why I chose to leave America to come to Japan...
But as I stood there watching Odaka sing, I can't help but feel how much I've lost interest in this band.
Since it was their first show since the release of their album "vivo" just 2 days before the show, they played mostly new songs. In fact, they played only 2 old songs. So mostly they're new songs...
The new songs were... well... Ok... Good, actually... But I can't help feel but "not my type" anymore...
I was thinking about Tsubaki too, at that time, and how when I saw Tsubaki at Daikanyama last year, it was also the first time for me to hear their new album... But listening to those songs at that time, I felt BLOWN AWAY by Tsubaki's new material and how the songs won my heart over again..
But Lunkhead... it was just... "well.. ok..."
I really wish to sing and dance with Lunkhead again. But I can't help but feel that I was cheering in this show only because I labeled myself as a "fan" and it's a good thing to support the band you once loved. But I couldn't help but feel how I've become just one of those spectators in the crowd who cheer for a band only because everyone else is doing it.
So here's today's song...
Lunkhead - シンドローム
