“H ZETTRIO”, a piano trio that makes you laugh and dance, held the first hall performance entitled “H ZETTRIO DYNAMICS! 2023” at Lovely Hall in Kawachinagano City, Osaka on Saturday, December 2nd.
This was H ZETTRIO’s first hall performance in Osaka in exactly one year, and since it was the day after the release of their commemorative 60th work, “Dynamics,” it was a hot topic in various quarters even before tickets went on sale. .
On this day, with a slightly stronger wind blowing from the west, people who had formed a long line ahead of the opening time were slowly drawn into the opening. As many people took their seats in the audience, the lights in the venue slowly dimmed, and when three people wearing red and white striped shirts appeared with an EDM-style opening sound effect, a roar of applause erupted. .
Starting with “Visitors from the Night Sky,” a slightly earlier Christmas production added a warm and cheerful atmosphere to the venue. After that, a series of new and old happy numbers such as “Have a nice day” and “Lovely” continued, followed by a beautiful ensemble in the lyrical songs “Science”, “Sky”, and “9 PM”, followed by “Runrun” released in October. Just as the atmosphere of the venue was brightened, the rapidly changing breakbeats of “Make Some Noise!” echoed throughout the venue.
From the title program “SPEED MUSIC Sokudonoongaku”, Junichi Inagaki’s “Christmas Carol Koro wa”, which was popular in 1992, was performed, creating an adult world.
Afterwards, the entire hall became one with their tricky and danceable familiar songs, “PIANO CRAZE,” “Neo Japanesque,” and “Dancing in the mood,” which are their most popular songs at their live shows. The main part of the concert that day ended with “Smile,” and the whole venue was filled with smiles.
After the main event ended, an encore was held in response to the endless cheers.
The first song of the encore was the live performance of their new song “Dynamics,” their 60th consecutive release.
A drum’n’bass approach with a sharp piano riff and a fast-paced bass line, followed by a soft, thick melody line in the chorus. It’s a song packed with techniques that only H ZETTRIO can do. The audience was overwhelmed with the feeling of having everything taken away from them and headed home with great emotion in their hearts.
The day before this concert, H ZETT M posted on X (formerly Twitter) that it was almost certain that his 60th consecutive release would be certified as a world record, so the dates have been suddenly decided for December 10th (Sunday) and December 11th (Monday). ) will be held at BLUE NOTE TOKYO, where all 60 songs currently released will be performed on 4 stages over 2 days, and the 2nd performance on Monday, December 11th will be streamed live for a fee. I also posted that.
In response to the fact that Sapporo City Jazz’s “THEATER JAZZ LIVE” to be performed on Friday, December 23rd sold out quickly, before that, “SPPORO CITY JAZZ Preparatory Tournament @D-Bop ~ It was also announced that “Covers & Originals~” will be held over two days on the 20th (Wednesday) and 21st (Thursday).
It’s December, and the end of the year is approaching, but H ZETTRIO’s 2023 is far from over.
