A story about going to a live concert of a band like Happy Himalaya

How is everyone doing in this intense heat?
This heat, even though the rainy season hasn't even fully ended yet.
What even are the four seasons? It's like there's only summer and winter now...

On a certain day in May, I was watching METROCK casually at home.
While I thought, 'Watching live footage at home while enjoying a drink is the best!', I also realized I hadn't been to a festival or concert in a while and wanted to enjoy listening to live music in person.
In the midst of that, my eyes were drawn to the footage of a certain band. Its name isLucky Kilimanjaro. I had known of the band's existence since they made their major debut and often listened to their songs, but I had never attended a live concert or watched their footage.
That was the first time I saw their live footage, andthey just looked like they were having so much fun!
There are many dance-tune songs, and coupled with their performance, everyone participating was really getting into the groove.

At that moment, I was searching on my smartphone to see if there were any upcoming concerts. I was already captivated by them. Luckily, it was just when tickets for their 10th-anniversary tour went on sale, so I bought them immediately. It turns out my younger sister had also bought tickets for the same tour, so we ended up going together...
My sister has apparently been to Lucky Kilimanjaro's concerts many times before, and she said, 'Every single time, they make it even more fun than the last concert I went to, so it makes me want to go again!' and 'Lucky Kilimanjaro's concerts are kind of likebeing in a sauna, they kind of help you get centered from the inside out.'

Having heard that, I looked forward to the day of the concert.

Before the band members appeared, the venue's excitement surged with an announcement from maotaki of Syn. I even heard female audience members saying, 'So cute!' even though they hadn't even appeared yet. They're just too charming.

The band members appeared one by one and began to play. During an interlude, the vocalist, Kumaki, said,

'Dancing is free, let's dance freely. Let's express the feeling of fun freely in our own way.'

The audience was also swaying back and forth, raising their hands, and keeping the rhythm to enjoy themselves in their own way. By the way, it seems he says this at every concert. I felt that it reflected the band's theme, which they devised and uphold themselves:'Making every day around the world dance'.
It was actually quite comfortable, and the sight of various audience members, regardless of age or gender, freely letting their bodies and hearts dance was truly wonderful.
Aren't the people who go to see this concert not just audience members, but dancers?

On the other hand, there were also moments where the whole audience joined in with call-and-response, and it was certainly a concert with a sense of unity, showing great cooperation and affinity.

Also, what personally shocked me was thatthere was absolutely no MC, and the transitions between songs were non-stop. At the very end, during the encore, they did a little bit of band member introductions.
The concerts of artists I've attended in the past almost always had MC time, where band members would hydrate or tell behind-the-scenes stories when touring in different regions, but this band, Lucky Kilimanjaro, has none of that. By continuing the songs, they created a sense of exhilaration and immersion for the audience, making me feel as if I were in a club.

The setlist also had songs that got everyone excited, followed by songs that helped bring back a bit of calmness, so the expression my sister used about being in a sauna really hit home.All the bad things just blow away.Personally, the transition from 'It's summer, isn't it...?' into the more emotional summer songs was supreme; it really struck a chord.

With that, the approximately 90-minute (?) non-stop concert was the best, making me forget all the bad things and dance with all my heart. We took a group photo at the end and it was over. No wonder the venue capacity has increased tenfold since they first started if the concerts are this fun. Totally satisfied.

This was my first time attending a Lucky Kilimanjaro concert, and I want everyone who hasn't been but is interested to go! The quality is so high that you'll want to see them again and again. I knew all the songs and had this much fun, but I think you can enjoy it and dance like crazy regardless of whether you know the songs at all. I guarantee the fun!

Finally, I washed down the local specialty 'okonomiyaki' with beer and that was the end. I was able to enjoy a wonderful holiday for the first time in a while.
