Acoustic Night 最高！

On Sunday April 22, I went to my friend, Yukio's live show. Yukio plays in the band After Novembers, but this night, he played alone. It was his first time, so he was nervous, but I think he did really well. I really liked his arpeggio stuff. It was definitely awesome to watch. That night there were four performers, Yukio included. All were soloists. Before Yukio was a guy called Kitaisamu from Tomakomai. Both Yukio and he played guitar. After them were two women, the first performer being Moka, who comes from Aomori and then Peach. They both play piano. I really liked both of them actually. Both play very well and sing even better. Peach's vocals I thought were especially cool being a little raspy and deep. I could definitely feel a jazz vibe there. She has been playing for about 5 years now, if I remember correctly. As for Moka, it was her first concert at Aundo. I am not sure how long she has been performing, but I thought she did very well. She looked very comfortable playing in public. I especially thought her cover of 'Loving you' was really good.

Overall, I really liked the atmosphere of Acoustic Night. After the show, I talked to Yukio about playing in the next one. It seems that Acoustic Night is held every two months. What I liked about the show was that there was a relaxed feeling. To be honest it reminded me a little of a coffee house in Canada, but with no coffee, just a lot of cigarette smoke, but for me that's not a problem. I also liked that I was able to hear everyone's vocals clearly, as opposed to my show where except for my set, the vocals were hard to hear due to the volume of the music.

Next month, Yukio and Moka will be playing at a pub called The Beats. I have to make sure I got the name right, but I hope that I will be able to go to that because I think it will be a good show.

Peace
