The memorable first live performance of Kosai Sawamura, an artist with over 2 million followers on social media.“Kirari Sawamura Debut Live ~Addiction Symphony~”was held at GARRET Udagawa on September 7th. We present the report below.
The venue, filled to the back with an audience, warmly embraced her as she embarked on a new challenge.
Led by an ominous sound effect, Sawamura appeared on stage and immediately erupted in cheers. The audience had been building up excitement, no doubt. The tension before the start of the show was instantly relieved and the floor erupted in excitement. The opening song was their debut song, “Lethal Dose Darling.” Performing right up to the edge of the stage and making eye contact with each and every member, it was hard to believe that this was really their first performance. The fans’ interjections were perfect, and the show got off to a great start with a sense of unity.
Sawamura, who felt the excitement of the audience, said in the MC with a smile, “Everyone is so excited.” He also confessed that he was worried during the meeting, “What if no one talks?”, and once again expressed his gratitude to the fans, saying, “They’re so lively and it’s the best.”
The next song, “Tsuteiteku,” induced a call-and-response. When the phrase “Dokomade Datte Tsuiteku” came, he skillfully turned the microphone towards the audience, and together they created the live performance. The emotional ballad “Sattete Itai” was sung using a stand microphone. As he poured every word into the microphone, he packed his voice with more emotion than meaning. He is able to slip into both catchy numbers and emotional songs, and become the protagonist of the work, which is something that only Sawamura, with his long career as an idol, can do. He manipulates the quality of his voice and the atmosphere to suit the song, inviting the listener into the world of the work.
When Sawamura announced in the MC that she had brought a new song, the audience went wild. Sawamura then said, “I sang this song hoping that people who are struggling or can’t move forward will be encouraged and be able to do their best,” and then moved on to “Scab.” She sang softly and powerfully, fully demonstrating her natural vocal abilities in just one song. Not only that, her words have incredible power. The reason why the lyrics, such as “The second chapter of my life is about to begin (Aisaka 1)” and “Open the way with the life of that day (Aisaka 2),” flew straight to her was because she didn’t just follow the words, but because her own resolve was firmly embedded in the song. She pumped her fist in “Genkai Lost World,” spurring on the audience, and then went full force into the final sprint.
In the final MC, it was announced that “Sangai” will be available for streaming and that a second live concert will be held. With this continuous happy news, the fans’ enthusiasm has grown even stronger. Sawamura had been smiling up to this point, but when it came to conveying her feelings to the fans, her voice involuntarily became moist. “When you start something new, you get really nervous. There are times when you feel like stopping, but at those times, you all send me a lot of comments like, “I’m really looking forward to it” or “I’m rooting for you”. It’s still the same now, but every time someone says, “Do your best” or “I’m glad I met you,” I feel like I have to work even harder. Thank you for always being by my side. I want to give back to you all more than I receive, so I hope you will continue to follow me,” she said, sending lots of love to her fans.
And at the end, she dropped “Lethal Dose Darling” for the second time that day. Her vocals, resonating with plenty of nuance, seemed to speak of her confidence. She exchanged enthusiasm with the fans, concluding a debut live performance full of love.
Sawamura Kosai captivates fans with her warm-hearted and cute face and her varied approach. Her story, which debuted as an artist on September 7, 2024, has just begun. As an idol and TikTok creator, she has always strived to do her best, and we can’t help but look forward to her next move.
