This is surprisingly, another one of those “I can’t believe I haven’t written about this sooner” posts. But then again, when you’re in Japan, there’s next to no time, zilch, to really document it other than via photos. As such, 4 years later, let’s talk about concerts in Japan, and specifically, my first concert in Japan.
Because May 24th, 2020 was a milestone in this particular artists’ life, the month of May’s featured artist spotlight this year is the “King” himself, Matsushita Yuya (松下優也). This year, 12 years after his first debut, Yuya Matsushita turned 30 last Sunday – which is hard to believe considering how long I’ve been a fan of his! So let me tell you why. 😉
It’s August guys and we’re half way through the year. As the summer heats up, I’m super glad to be able to bring you this spotlight highlighting 4 artists that make up the super talented group – Teichiku’s X4!
There’s something strangely exciting about seeing a musical not performed on Broadway. Perhaps it’s not knowing exactly what you’re getting yourself into. Or perhaps it’s knowing that for a musical not from Broadway to be selling tickets, it has to genuinely be good.
It’s been a good 2.5 years since I’ve had the chance to go to an X4 concert, in other words, much too long. Why? Because the atmosphere that Kodai, T-Max, Jukiya, and Yuya create with their music, their spirits, and their fans – there’s just something very special about it.
I’m finally back from the land of the rising sun. I went to Hiroshima, Miyajima (above photo taken there), Usagishima, Kyoto, Matsumoto, Saitama, Tokyo, and Chiba while in Japan, all of which were wonderful!
I have less than 1 month till Japan travels! This time around, I’ll be spending time in Hiroshima, Kyoto, Matsumoto, Saitama, Tochigi, and Tokyo while there and will be taking plenty of pictures and notes for future posts here. But most of all, I’m excited to return to see my old home!
