BREIMEN held a solo live performance of “BREIMEN 2DAYS LIVE in TOKYO -1, 2, 3, 4, 5-” at Spotify O-EAST in Shibuya, Tokyo for two days, on Friday, June 13th and Saturday, June 14th.
The title of this performance is based on the concept of “1 MAN LIVE / 2 DAYS / 3 STAGE / 4 THE PEOPLE / 5 PLAYERS,” and it was a special two days with an all-night session late at night on the 13th.
The first day, the 13th (Friday) performance opened with a count of female voices, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5,” and entered the first song, “IWBYL.” The show started with a classic live performance song at BREIMEN, and the audience responded with a call and response with the funk number “Ransuki” and the venue was filled with excitement from the beginning. In the middle of the episode, “yonaki” is the mellow singing voice of vocalist Takagi Shota, creating a moist atmosphere. After a “chapter” that began with George Hayashi’s saxophone solo, the new, popular song “BALLOON” was performed for the first time. The BREIMEN-like number, which combines floating and groove, naturally increases the reaction of the audience. Furthermore, the event was also streamed on Instagram Live, and was delivered in real time to fans who were unable to visit the venue.
At the end of the live performance, the band’s signature song “Anda Tadodosa”, featuring guitarist Sato Katsushiro with a brilliant solo, “Stickman,” the band’s signature song, “Spumoni,” which gives the impression of the beginning of summer, and “Rolling stone,” which became a hot topic as the ending theme of the TV anime “Dr.Stone,” were performed one after another, and the end of the main story was finished with “Play time isn’t over,” as the title suggests, “The play won’t end.”
An all-night session will be held at the same venue late at night. Over 40 musicians, including .ENDRECHERI., Suchmos’ TAIHEI, and TENDRE, gathered across genres. A once-in-a-lifetime session was held with minimal prior meetings, and the intensive moments of the artists performing together, transcending genre boundaries, and the musicians continued to have a sound conversation. The long sessions, where the audience and the stage are united, created a space that can be considered the intersection of the Japanese music scene.
The second day performance on the 14th (Sat) also started with such energy that you wouldn’t feel the afterglow of the night before. The show began with a “breakthrough” full of speed, and a variety of sounds were developed one after another, including “PINK” and “Snappantsu”.
In the middle, they performed songs that spanned genres such as “CATWALK” and “Hip me.” In “T・P・P”, two MCs by Takagi and Hayashi encouraged the audience to call, and there was a scene where the entire venue chanted “Taopaipai.”
Following on Friday the 13th, the new song “BALLOON” was also performed again on the day, and footage that aired after the show revealed that the song will be released next week on Wednesday, June 18th.
At the end, the series continued with emotional numbers such as “Lie on the night” and “Night Cruising”, and with members introduced, they feature songs that are full of euphoria, such as “ODORANAI”, “romance comedy”, and “MUSICA” that are typical of BREIMEN.
The “Rolling Stone” was then raised to an up-tempo atmosphere, and the curtain ended with a slow-tempo “Zzz”. At the end, there was also a performance where Takagi fell asleep on stage, which impressed BREIMEN’s wide range of planning and expressiveness.
In addition, pre-orders for the new song “BALLOON” are currently being held. Participants will also receive bonus videos and lottery prizes. For more detailsOfficial websiteCheck it out.
