Maybe it was the first live ever to have the audience and a band can be as one.
Of course it’s not just HY to experience an impressive live. Live is the time to be as one.
But the very first nation wide tour for HY which started from Shibuya Kokaido on September 24, 2004 called “ITTA SOMUN ‘04TOUR” was not a live that anyone can do.
Three impressive moments can be remembered. One is the box at the lobby. People wrote their names on small dices and throw them in the box. As the tour goes on, the dices made the box look like trunk of a tree, and it became huge at the last day of the tour.
Two is that in each place they had visited, they collaborated on the stage with the string orchestra of the local collages and high schools in the encore song “Song for…”
Three is that at the very end of the stage, each name of the audiences was appeared in the screen of the hall. We had never heard the cheer like that before; the sound made by audiences who find their names in the screen.
Many people say “Make live shows with the audience”, but these 3 impressive moments can be found only in HY’s live shows.
A big banyan tree standing on the stage: the tour document start with the scene that people making the banyan tree on September 1, before the tour.
Total length of the DVD is 187 minutes. Apart from the live footage, you can enjoy watching the lobby’s “Trunk” getting bigger in each place, and HY rehearsal with the string orchestra. You can even find the audiences’ name appear on screen. It must be the first time ever to have each audience’s name on the live document DVD.
It is rare to feel happy just watching the audiences faces in the live DVD.
“ITTA SOMUN”, it means “Wow, it’s all great!”
Music and happy faces, and a slowly growing tree of sympathy and trust, is the quality of “things that must be there”.
