5/24(Sat) Shinkiba STUDIO COAST
LOUD & METAL ATTACK

Supported by FINLAND FEST

On the 24th we’ve performed on Finland festLOUD & METAL ATTACKin Shinkiba STUDIO COAST!

We were honored to represent Japan on stage among Finland bands, who came to perform in Japan!



Lately I’ve been to Shinkiba STUDIO COAST only to see Royz’s LIVE the other day,

But it’s quite long time since we’ve performed here.

Opening was early, so I woke up at 6:30 in the morning. Lately we have lots of LIVEs, for which I need to get up early(laughs)

When we entered the venue, I have a feeling that my hair already stood up(laughs)


Getting ready and rehearsal!

It was easy, because monitor engineer was our friend



With members of STAM1NA, who had dressing room next to ours

They looked grim, so I was a bit nervous(laughs)

I was glad that I had possibility to speak to STAM1NA’s guitarist, who also uses ESP!!

I gave him Jupiter’s CD as a gift( ´ ` )



Being really nervous we’ve entered AMORPHIS’ dressing room to take the photo with members

I look like shining spangle among them(laughs)

I watched their LIVE and their lyrical melody’s flow!

After all, I like listless Nordic melodies!!

It somehow reminded me of songs from the times of Aikaryu(laughs)



Just before the performance! Let’s go!

■『Jupiter Live in The MOMENTShinjuku BLAZE one-man day 1


Jupiter Oneman Tour 2014
2014/5/17(Sat) Shinjuku BLAZE
Jupiter Live in The MOMENT


Good morning(。・_・。)/

As those two days finished we seem to burn out a bit(laughs)

I’m a bit late with this but I will write something in shape of this past LIVE’s report.

Moreover, it took me strangely plenty of time since I began writing till I posted it, well I’m the guy, who shows his useless thoughts about everything (laughs)




But, switching emotions…

Finally made Jupiter’s one-man! Shinjuku BLAZE!

Moreover, it’s 2DAYS!!

It’s one-man played after a long time, so it’s funny not to get excited about it!! (´∀`)



I woke up at 8 a.m. Mornings of today’s rockers are early… (laughs)

Entering venue at 10 a.m. we started preparations!


Back of the stage was glittering



Well, well, on that day I’ve struggled unusually using monitor( ;´Д`)

Due to many years of experience, normally in 2-3 songs I can use basic monitor balance,

But playing nearly 10 songs it’s not getting nice at all. But why did that happen…?


Number of songs was high, so rehearsal prolonged because we needed to confirm many things about performance

Before the performance we were a bit in rush(_;

But we don’t take such things on the stage, while performing.



Just before the performance! Comin’!!

We started gloriously as Jupiter with-Introduction-.

And next was Blessing of the Future.

We quickly kept playing violent songs, so I left my mind away.

In intro to --Innovation with huge injection of CO2 tension rose!

Until now you could hear SACRED ALTAR only on LIVEs, but it’s gradually getting more familiar to you, right?



Rose of Mary, which had its premiere during birthday event, since then is played in band arrangement and this time it also felt that way.

We bewitched you by the new side of Jupiter in an atmosphere like, when clear sky brightens.

It’s not only about this song, if you don’t know song, you seem to be in stace(laughs), I’d be really happy if you could repeat after ZIN’s movements(´∀`)

But sometimes ZIN also misses the steps←(laughs)


First half was closed by instrumental number Race Wish.

What attracts you only to instrumental section is Jupiter’s strength.

By the way, since I’m one, who plays, I highlights many things… but I think it’s hard to follow everyone(laughs)

But, naturally since I play all the time, I can’t gesticulate~

That’s why I’d be happy if you joined it!←what if I would force you even more!?(laughs)


Here starts YUKI’s drum solo with accompaniment of Rookie Fiddler’s violin.

List of sounds like from deep soul world was played in violin’s tune

And together with YUKI’s drums it created mysterious atmosphere.

Next together with Nakanishi-san singing choruses, guitar solo from HIZAKI-san.

Amazing and beautiful guitar song created by sounds of three people, guitar & violin & chorus.


Second half was started by the main song of this tour - LAST MOMENT!

LAST MOMENT means „we want you to cherish this moment” and we play it each time with this kind of feelings.

During Haru no Arashi tour we kept doing it each time, and this time it’s the most fatty song(laughs)

Adding guest chorus vocal we could get stronger fusion of beauty and violence, right?


After Decadence, which was put between, next song Azalea was also from single „LAST MOMENT”.

I think that many people heard this song for the first time during LIVE.

You seem not used to towels in hook points of the song, but please, use it(。・人・。)


And ARCADIA, which had its premiere on that day!

It’s impressing metal number with violent intro and light hook points!

In solo, in the same tame as HIZAKI-san play his sweeps, I play neoclassical phrases,

Maybe it’s not noticeable, but after small rest this song’s difficulty is also quite great(laughs) If you’re interested, take a look on it(laughs)  

ARIAwas played after surprisingly long time, over month probably?

This song, which we play since our formation, shows our progress.


Last song for that day was greatly influencing Scarlet, which became classical for our shows!

It became perfectly established towel song, so view from the stage was amazing!

If my memory is not wrong, TERU kick came on you twice!


Encore.

I’m happy I could hear your voices in forever with you!

And we finally played full version of Symmetry Breaking after long time!

There also was happening, because silly me thrust CO2… (laughs)


In double encore solemn atmosphere of Classical Element.

We finished the LIVE in ponderous atmosphere.



During MC I said “Today, you’re all somehow stiff”

…but more likely I was telling it to myself.

I shouldn’t be satisfied by performance or play

But maybe it was rather feeling of strength from doing it like this?

Of course there is also such way of showing it, I don’t judge what is better and what is worse!


During this one-man played after such a long time, we were able to firmly show Jupiter’s world and it was complete LIVE!!

Thank you very much everyone, who came!!



This is how first day has ended!!

To be continued in day two(。・_・。)/

Jupiter Live in The MOMENTShinjuku BLAZE one-man day 2 


Jupiter Oneman Tour 2014
2014/05/18(Sun) Shinjuku BLAZE
Jupiter Live in The MOMENT

Shinjuku BLAZE one-man, day two!

Opening was really early that day, so we entered the hall at 9 a.m.. So early!

Recently openings of our LIVEs are earlier,

But how was it in your opinion?


By the way because it’s 2DAYS, we didn’t change settings

So in this meaning it was an advantage (laughs)


↑Needed to create TERU sound, Geki-Tetsu guitar and ENGL!!


Taking advantage on lessons I got day before, during rehearsal I prepared monitoring once again.

I knew it’s a club which absorbs sound, so assuming this will happen this time too I prepared good balance.


↑Sweet illustrated keyholders

Did you get one?? ( ´ ` )


↑Two-shot with Ruu-sama

Thank you also for today


↑Hoshiko-san came also for the second day!!

Thank you a lot( ´ ` )


And the performance!!

Since the opening performance differed a bit from yesterday’s one and after ZIN, MASASHI, YUKI entered stage

Guitarists came to stage from the end of the hall as a surprise!

Your surprised faces were funny( ´)

I felt then that distance between members and everyone gathered shrank momentarily

Scarletswinging after rumbling!

I’m glad I could see that you used new towels really fast

Next was SHOUT YOUR DESIREwhich we haven’t played day before.

When I played it I thought that maybe when number of our songs increased, its shadow became somewhat thinner, but… this song is cool for sure (laughs)

It’s what I’ve prepared for the first time in Jupiter, inspired by ZIN-chan’s voice.

Feeling, which I’ve put into this song means Express everything, that you think of, if you’re alive!.

If you listen to the lyrics with such feeling, the song may differ for you.

Attack with ALLEGORY CAVE」、「SACRED ALTAR!

We saw that venue has been gradually heated up.

Like the day before, interlude with drum solo and guitar solos,

And ZIN’s narration with Ruu-sama’s violin.

We all have been surprised that ZIN has such a talent, when he started dancing on the stage like in the theater!

Traditionally it may be a bit boring, but if we would have change, I want to show you it.

Decadence right after the narration. In some sense, it was a highlight of the LIVE.

And then --Innovationof bursting tune!

I think that there also were people, who have sensed it for the first time LIVE, but you all were so violent!

When tension went high, during solo I made TERU’s non-picking sweep!


From here on, it was time for ZIN’s lesson for the sake of new songs.

But, his instructions might have been a bit sloppy (laughs)

Anyway, during Jupiter’s LIVEs appreciated isheadbanging, without thinking of tomorrow!(laughs)

At first we played Darkness which had its premiere the day before.

Like title says, it’s dark and violent song, which sound is similar to black metal.

For a while you’ll hear it only during LIVEs, but I want to bring it up with you!

And ARCADIA, which got a lot of positive responses the day before.

I want us to do choruses, because it’s “soaring-style melodic speed” metal song( ´ ` )


The last of the main set was Classical Element.

That day, amount of emotions put into Classical Element was amazing,

And as the song progressed, empathy grew stunning.

It might have been the first time for me, when I experienced playing it with perfect link of emotions.

When we reached the peak in fast guitar solo in midday of the song,

It felt like a magical moment, like moving to another dimension.

It was great to play the guitar, to play music,

And it was serious moment, without any showing off.


We appeared on stage in tour T-shirts for encore!

During MC we were speaking about our frank emotions for that moment.

Then, only instrumental section played SILENT KNIGHT.

That day’s SILENT KNIGHT was even more hot! I was also in top form for solo response! (laughs)

And then Symmetry Breaking」!!

The truth is that we had problems with bass equipment that day,

And MASASHI-kun was dealing with those problem during the song, but miraculously just before the bass solo, it worked again!!

He’s the guy who will do his things anyways, it’s his characteristics.

In the last solo, together we played the guitars back to back (with Hizaki)!

We haven’t talked about it during meeting, but since we play together many years, we often feel the atmosphere.



In second encore, we introduced the second artist, who helped is.

The one, who made choruses for us was ZIN’s teacher,

Nakanishi Ryoko, who sung choruses for intro of LAST MOMENT.

Please, take care of ZIN from now on too(laughs)

And on the violin was ex-Ace Ruu-sama (Rookie Fiddler).

He’s multi-instrumentalist, who also does arrangements, vocals and programing!!

Really, thank you very much.

We’d be grateful for your help in future.


Here we informed about our new activities.

Extra performance during Jupiter Live in the MOMENT, Jupiter’s 1st anniversary LIVE!! 21st of June in Shibuya REX!!

One-man countrywide tour in 16 cities, Jupiter TOUR -2014-ARCADIA  !

I will post detailed info later on my blog.

Anyways, Jupiter will strike hard!


And LAST MOMENT.

We played it like in a dream, with unison that can’t be described with words.

Last one was Blessing of the Future, spectacularly closing the performance.



That day was Jupiter’s all-time best LIVE.

Naturally creating unison, we made that LIVE with you, of which I’m proud.

Playing music long, gaining new knowledge,

Maybe in my head I complained a lot and about many things,

But it was all like blown away.

“It’s somehow an easy matter”.


Thank you for the beautiful time.

We will aim higher.

I’d be happy if you came to see us. Really.



Thank you.
