LIVE REPORT – Ayaka Aizawa 2020/10/25 – Page 2

On her birthday on October 25 (Sun), Ayaka Aizawa held a solo live at Kichijoji SHUFFLE. This event was an add-on to the “AIZAWA AYAKA birthday event -NEO CHAPTER returns-” which was held the day before.　

Nowadays, each live house has a limit of the number of admissions according to the size of the venue. At the previous day’s event, the number of applicants exceeded the limit. For the birthday live the organizer decided to let only those who were chosen by lottery to enter the venue (the previous day’s event live was also viewable via a twitcast livestream).

The livestream still can be purchased via twitcast until November 7th JST for 2000yen.

However, Ayaka Aizawa’s own desire to “I want as many people as possible to watch the live performance” So after the live of October 24th an additional performance was held. As a result, even though the live started at 10 am, a full audience (limited number of people, and people only could buy a ticket at the door) filled the venue on that day as well. That is the proof that there are many people who have much love for Ayaka Aizawa.

　The audience was hot clapping when the SE started to play. The support members appeared on stage by guided by the sound of the SE and also Ayaka Aizawa appeared on the stage.

On her memorable birthday, the first solo live for the first time after the corona disaster started with “in the future” as if pointing to the future. Countless fists shot up from all over the audience as if to echo the thoughts of Ayaka Aizawa’s fist raised high. Against the backdrop of the massive performance, Ayaka Aizawa delivered her singing voice as if she was chewing every word of the song. From the beginning of the performance, Ayaka Aizawa showed the will she always had in her heart to draw the future from this place. Countless fists extend to the fists she raises on the stage. The scenery of the always hot live performance was born in this place, just because they couldn’t raise their voice, just because they couldn’t be close to each other.

Ayaka Aizawa pointed out “INSPIRE” to amplify the momentum. Ayaka Aizawa raised her voice while hitting her own chest powerfully. Many fists of encouragement were thrown at her. She put her feet on the monitor and sang with her body leaning forward. I want to make this feeling resonate as close as possible. Ayaka Aizawa’s enthusiasm was directly reflected in her stage presence. Her enthusiasm reduced the distance between the stage and the audience at once.

It had been 2 years since Ayaka had held solo live concert. Ayaka Aizawa delivered “Atarimae no shiawase (当たり前の幸せ)” as if she was happy to be able to do so. A gentle breeze of sound passed through her body in a comfortable way. Ayaka Aizawa, biting into the small happiness she described in the lyrics, swallowed the thought deep into her heart. The whole audience was receptive to the warmth of Ayaka Aizawa’s singing voice. During the chorus, some of them waved their right hand in the air. There was no limit to how you could feel and enjoy the song. If the feelings she delivered from the top of the stage moved you, everyone could show what they felt with their body. It felt very comfortable. The pressure and speed of the performance increased as the second half progressed. Ayaka Aizawa’s own singing voice could feel the heat being added to it. As she clasped the microphone with both hands and sang, the audience streched their fists.

“Let’s get ready to go wild!” Many fists went up to get ready to raging to “HARUKAZE” and some of the audience jumped up and down on the spot. The time of the chorus, towels and fists were swung around, also Ayaka Aizawa swung her towel around. Ayaka Aizawa also sang passionately to create the hot wind atmosphere. Inspired by the spiritedness of her singing with her emotions exposed, the audience continued to release heat as much as they could from their bodies on the spot. They pumped their fists into the air and smashed their thoughts and feelings into each other. The scene of a live performance was born here.

Now, raise your fist in the air and shout to the song “go for it“. If you’re feeling excited, you can act as you feel. Whenever Ayaka Aizawa swayed her body from side to side, the audience were also swaying their bodies widely on the spot. She sang, let’s take a step forward together from here. That action would make ourselves shine tomorrow.

Ayaka Aizawa herself has always been able to overcome obstacles and adversity with the strong support of her friends. Each of her songs is a message to her friends and a cheering song to inspire her own heart. She raises her fist in the air as if to inspire her own feelings and spits out the words. Her songs become a powerful energy that makes the hearts of those touched by them shine.

　”I felt so disappointed that I couldn’t do the one-man show they way I wanted to held this year. But there is no use in looking back, so I looked forward to it. I’ve brought a song that I can sing, a song that I can deliver to everyone in this situation of Corona. I think it’s the greatest encouragement song I could ever sing. I hope that this song will serve as a reminder to everyone to never lose sight of their goals.”

　She delivered her new song ‘Over Limit‘. As if to show that there was no limit to the mind, Ayaka Aizawa continued to shout “Don’t give up” with the copious passion in her singing voice against the raging beat. Holding out her outstretched hand to her friends to the audience, Ayaka Aizawa hit them with passionate words that inspired their feelings. She thrust out her voice and fists as many times as she could, hoping that some day they would laugh at her, until her thoughts reached them. Of course, hot fists were pumping up from all over the audience as well.

They sang the song “Yasashii Hito yo (優しい人よー)” while shouting “Yasashii Hito yo”. Ayaka Aizawa sang “I just want to deliver to you until my voice dies,” she said passionately. She shouted “I’ll keep going no matter what happens, so please keep going and going with me as your guide“. The performance, which sounded as if she was releasing her bounded feelings, made the audience excited. Inspired by her voice singing “Till this voice dies, till this night opens“, the whole audience pumped their fists high and showered Ayaka Aizawa with passionate feelings. Everyone was united with Ayaka Aizawa, shouting passionately in their hearts.

When they played the song “To NEXT!”, Ayaka Aizawa waved her hands wide and sang as if she was sending warm encouragement to the people who were trying their best. She sang “To NEXT!” as if she wanted to send warm encouragement to the people who were trying their best. They were waving their hands from side to side with her and exchanging promises to continue to walk together.

The last song I sang in the main story was “wake up“, which showed a strong will to continue singing at this place (live house / in front of friends). Ayaka Aizawa strongly struck her heart, saying, “I’m singing here,” in order to continue to protect this place with the friends who gathered here and continue to take new steps there. Countless fists swaying high from all over the audience send her a breeze of hot ale. The fist seemed to be a voice that responded to continue to protect this place with Ayaka Aizawa and to build a history that will continue into the future together.

People always make mistakes and meet a lot of parting ways, and I’m singing here to risk my life to find the answer.

This is Ayaka Aizawa’s thought that has always been and still is. She and her friends who gathered here kept the flame of that feeling burning in her heart.

For the encore, they played a new song “Over Limit” again. The red psyllium lights on the floor were shaking as Ayaka Aizawa sang with her tightly clenched fists, and the performance was inspired by her powerfully betting performance as if to release her feelings. To bring a smile to the faces of those who are here. Ayaka Aizawa sang and shouted her passionate encouragement to the people who were about to collapse, as if to support their hearts. If she could fill this place (the place of the live performance) with flowers of smiles, Ayaka Aizawa would continue to send her cheers to all her friends who had gathered here as many times as possible.

As if she was inviting them to join her in making noise together with her, Ayaka Aizawa blasted ‘Be Crazy‘ at the end of the song, dispelling all reasoning from them who were looking for enthusiasm. Ayaka Aizawa herself became an emotional hammer, destroying the emotional clamps of all the people gathered here and turning them into rowdy festival goers. Everyone was shouting, “Crazy For Crazy” and “For Crazy“. When the members and the whole audience bounced as much as they could, there was a scene of people squatting on cue from Ayaka Aizawa. The way they unleashed all of their emotions and went crazy is exactly what Ayaka Aizawa’s live was all about.

Ayaka Aizawa starts to move on to a new chapter from here. From now on why don’t you go along that road together…? The live performance of this day will be sold as a live DVD for those who wish to purchase it. If you are interested, please get it!
