Sapporo City

The loud rock unit "She is Legend" ("She is Legend"), which appeared in the dramatic RPG "Heaven Burns Red," has stepped out of the game world and become active in live performances. Their 1st live tour held last year was a great success, touring 9 locations throughout Japan. Currently, their nationwide Zepp Tour "She is Legend Zepp Tour 2024 "We are Harumetsu Brigade"" is underway, which has been held since May this year.

Domingo published an article interviewing them about their thoughts prior to their Sapporo concert held on June 9. As a sequel to the interview, we present here the live report of the exciting Sapporo show.

The venue was enveloped in a whirlpool of enthusiasm. The voltage was maxed out right from the start of the show.

She is Legend

The Sapporo concert was held in October last year. The venue was filled up to the second floor, and from the moment they arrived, the place was a whirlpool of excitement.

At exactly 5:00 p.m., XAI and Konomi Suzuki appeared as the venue was enveloped in bright red lights. When the intro of "Harumayu Brigade," the title song of their 2nd album, started to play amidst the thunderous applause, the legends (fans) cheered loudly as if to release their pent up enthusiasm! The two musicians brought the voltage to the highest from the very beginning of the show, and I couldn't help but be captivated. The two sang "Mundane Battle Song: Always a Troublesome Battle" and "Popcorn N' Roses," as if to convulse the audience, and their voices echoed as they clashed with each other.

Without pausing for breath, the two sang "Heartbreak Syndrome" and "Thank you for playing - I'm glad I met you. Konomi Suzuki sang each song as if she were singing with her whole body, despite the intensity of the songs, while XAI stood in a dignified manner, occasionally smiling with a big smile on her face. The more they sang, the more their personalities blended and built the atmosphere of the venue. The exquisite combination that could be seen amidst the intensity of the song gave a sense of the growing trust between the two, which they had spoken about in a previous interview.

The sound by the live band that vibrates in your body and the groove that unifies the venue.

She is Legend

White Spell" (She is Legend Ver. of "White Spell") was sung as the sixth song. During the MC right before the song, XAI said, "I'm going to play that song that everyone knows," and the audience groaned when the intro started to play. The cheers that immediately rolled in increased the sense of unity in the venue. The next song was "Yami Yoru no Komachi Vampire," which had just been released on May 31. The rap part was a battle between the two. The two exchanged lyrics as they clashed wildly with each other, and the audience sang "Wow wow" together in a "groove!

XAI said in the MC right after the show, "I sang the song while being emotionally shaken. Ms. Konomi Suzuki expressed her satisfaction, saying, "I'm happy to be able to perform the songs we recorded during the last tour now. She also revealed that they would be recording a new song the following week.

The ninth song sung was "Yoh no sasu mukou e", a solo song by XAI, which was included in the album. XAI's voice was calm and quiet, a sharp contrast to the intensity of his previous songs. The gap between her voice and the way she sang as if she was speaking to the audience was heartbreaking. After singing this song, which was the last song of the live, the band members were introduced. Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance! Dance!" The audience was excited by the "vertical groove" rhythm, which is indispensable for live performances, and the two singers' voices seemed to penetrate through the audience. The sound pressure of the live band made the audience feel as if they were at a live concert.

The second half of the show was a real thriller, as the band's speed increased and the pace of the music continued to accelerate.

She is Legend

War Alive" had everyone in the venue pumping their fists in the air. The following song "World We Changed" was recommended by Konomi Suzuki in a previous interview as one of the songs from "Harumayu Brigade" that particularly stuck out to her! As she said, her singing style, which is more powerful, leaves a strong impression on the audience. This song was the first time the two of them participated in deciding on the title, and they must have put a lot of thought into it.

The 13th song "Burn My Soul" had the audience clapping their hands and shouting from the introduction. The song was followed by "Houkago no Melody," which was calm but had a sense of speed, and "Dying Season de Boku wa" which brought a sense of refreshment to the audience with its emotional singing. The last number was "Goodbye Innocence. The melody of the piano and the extension of the high notes of the two singers were beautiful.

After a short pause, the duo returned in tour T-shirts from their previous outfits. Konomi Suzuki was wearing a yellow hood, reminiscent of Karen Asakura. The first encore song was "Arch of Light Alternative," a re-arranged version of "Arch of Light," the last song sung on the previous tour. The audience was again filled with cheers as the band happily breathed in unison in their performance. In the MC immediately after the performance, XAI-san said with satisfaction, "I might have shown that I have grown up with Legenders. At this point, Konomi Suzuki said with a mysterious look on her face, "There is something I want to do so I don't have any regrets. ...... As the fans looked on in awe, they wondered what was going on. ......</p><img id="37960" src="https://domingo.ne.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/b9220c9fd3637d6140209e5b2811f83d.jpg" alt="She is Legend"><p> He grabbed the microphone and sang a nostalgic commercial song for the home improvement store Homac (now DCM)! The audience burst into laughter, and the Michi-ko fans broke out into a chorus. I did not write about it in my previous article, but at that time I casually said, "Singing a local commercial song is a great way to get people excited. Konomi Suzuki said, "I had been warming up this performance as a mission." Thank you for remembering me. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you.</p> <p> I have attended many live concerts in the past, but this was the first time I heard Homak's song. Moreover, I never thought I could hear that song with a beautiful voice that penetrates through ....... In a way, this was the scene where I felt the most togetherness during the concert (laughs).</p> <p> (By the way, Ms. Konomi Suzuki said, "I forgot what song the interviewer told me, and when I asked an acquaintance, he recommended this song," but I recommended "Yama oyaji" by "Senju-an. Next time you come to Sapporo, please do.")</p> <h3 class="ptn_4"> The performance ended on a quiet but uplifting note. Looking forward to more leaps and bounds in the future!</h3><img id="37961" src="https://domingo.ne.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/69356139a373a091130ae48a8aa05282.jpg" alt="She is Legend"><p> The last two songs were "Ki-Death" and "Long Long Spell. The last chorus of "la-la-la-la" was a rousing, yet emotional performance. Everyone is the best! and the two singers' innocent smiles filled my heart with passion. The energetic movement around the stage, the ups and downs of the songs, and the uplifting live performance brought the show to a close with a huge cheer.</p><img id="37962" src="https://domingo.ne.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/26535ce6c7bafefa98ab5ab9a678fc03.jpg" alt="She is Legend"><p> After the show, a commemorative photo was taken with the "Sea Ledger Pose," a hand sign, and a shout of "We are Harumetsu Brigade. The fresh expressions on the faces of all the audience members said, "We've done it! The refreshing expressions on the faces of the audience seemed to speak of the success of this performance. Outside the venue, there were people clutching the silver tapes that were released during the show with great care, people standing around regretting their last moments, people immediately posting their impressions on social networking sites, and a variety of other people soaking up the afterglow.</p><img id="37963" src="https://domingo.ne.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/f9c8c4f0486966144e92b60ad1c61a80.jpg" alt="She is Legend"><p> The two members will continue to grow and reach new heights during the remainder of their tour. I envy those who will be attending their future shows. I am getting more and more excited to see what kind of performance they will show us next.</p> <p> ©WFS Developed by WRIGHT FLYER STUDIOS ©VISUAL ARTS/Key</p> <p> Text: Kyohei Yamashita</p> <h3 class="ptn_5"> Check it out as well!</h3><div class="card_other">
