Was incredibly (ridiculously?!) challenging to play standing..! Have to figure out where to place the mic next time..
立って弾き語りは無駄に難しい…!マイクの位置、今後考えなきゃ…
Yes, I don’t think most people noticed, but all the guitar solos are played on the electric violin! On the album and live! During shows, I play a whole bunch of other instruments and synths 😝
My final show in Tokyo! It was in the beautiful (gosh the acoustics..really, the perfect classical shoebox hall) Hamarikyu Asahi hall, so my theme was based on the kanji 朝日新聞 (The Asahi newspaper) , the first character meaning “new” and the second “hear” (makes sense!). The first half was full of new repertoire as well as familiar pieces but with a modern twist. The second was set in a musical style, where I used a newspaper as a prop to talk about important news - including the ones that don’t make the paper. “One-ness”, again, was the overall theme for this year.
