Since I moved to Kantoh, I have seen several lives and surprised at those scenes, especially at Japanese musician's live. Because I have not seen same musician in both Kantoh and Kansai, I am not sure that is due to diffrence of place, and that point is irrevelant here.
What made me surprised is behavior of audience. They are not rocking, not rolling, not dancing. As if they are doing "KI-O-TSUKE" at class. Though there is a diffrence of extent, they are almost so. I can understand we are quiet with a quiet tune, but they are even with a hard beat one. It's hard for me to be quiet with tunes, then I dance to the music my own way. Of course, because they have their own ways to paticipate in live, though how they behave, there is nothing to be claimed about it.
I thought they were like a Buddhist image at first, but it was easy to deal with. If they were a Buddhist image, I hit them, then they throw down. In fact, they dont easily. They keep their position hard, because of a reason as following. There were audience who put their bags in their feet, I remembered. Here is not a hall that has seats. Okay?
Why do they have to keep their position? In the case that I often go to, reason is simple, you can understand easily if you come.
They are busy at collecting data. They are taking pictures, recording live. As possible as they can stand near musician, they have to take pictures with care. A picture appearing audience is not good one! That's why they have to keep their position( I think it's not best position to record in which the best position to take pictures. ).Since while musician is playing, they have to take pictures, they can't dance, so they have to stand still. If they move to far from musician, they can't take good pictures, so they never move.
Above is a reason they have to be quiet. So, what made me most surprised is that there was a audience who is taking a video recorder from the beginning of live to the end.Did you come here to work? Thanks a lot. It was a pity not to feel live.
Anyway, it seems that they make evidences to attend live at "XXXXX, XXXXX live house" to submit to someone. Whom in hell do they intend to submit to?
Of course, nobody else than themselves whom they submit to. It's not important for them to participate in live that will vanish sooner or later, but to have stuffs they can see and listen to after live. Furthermore, it's important that only one who has that stuff. Please don't upload on your web site, we can download them easily.
Live vanishes for a moment. After live, there is a daily life before us again. That's why we go to see live. As far as we are in live house, we can apart from daily life, and we can behave crazily, and nothing else than live makes us very excite.
Though too ordinary to dare to say, beautiful things, pretty things are impressive, besauce of they are alive for a moment. Even though a handsome guy, he will become to be a ordinaray guy for you as see frequently, I guess.
Pictures and recorded tapes you can see and listen later are not live anymore. While live you are paying a attention for camera and walkman, will you enjoy live at your home? <3/Jan./00>
