2000 Stories
I am often asked.
Do you get nervous in front of many people?
The answer is
I don't really get nervous
just because there are a lot of people.
Thanks to you all, in terms of attendance,
I have experience with events of up to ten thousand people,
but it's nothing special.
For example, if it were this week's Yaon concert,
I would be performing in front of over 2,000 people.
But you know.
It's not 2,000 people,
it's a collection of 2,000 individuals.
Do you understand what I mean??
I always think about this when I ride the train.
Looking at each person,
I think, all these people
must have been cherished so much when they were born.
They must have been welcomed with joy.
When they reached adolescence, they must have had their rebellious phases and first loves.
There must be someone they still can't forget.
So many dreams,
so many hopes,
so many despairs,
so many sorrows.
Each and every person is living their own story.
When I think about that, everything feels precious.
We deliver music to each and every one of them.
I believe that's the only mindset to have.
It's not just a group of 2,000 people.
Each person has different ways of thinking, lifestyles, and everything else.
In terms of a live show,
the common ground is the music or artist they like.
During a live show, I perform while looking at each person's face.
I perform with the wish
that something will move forward, even just a little, during this time.
So, for example, if there were 20 people,
I can see their faces too well,
so I feel pressure rather than nervousness (lol).
If it were just two people,
I think I'd be super nervous (lol).
Thankfully, I haven't had that experience,
so I'm not sure (lol).
Anyway, what I want to say is,
each person has their own original story.
This month it's 2,000 people,
and in June there's an event,
maybe about 1,000 people??
It looks like a busy schedule for this month and next month 💕
Just like I always do at small venues,
I want to face each person carefully
and play music.
This is the current kazuya.
Finally, I will share kazuya's way of not getting nervous.
I believe nervousness
is excessive expectation of oneself.
Especially for people like us,
we can only perform 70% of our practice.
I think everything comes down to prior preparation.
I never go into an interview empty-handed.
What do I want to say during this time?
Even just one thing is fine.
I keep something in my heart
when I face guests or interviews.
Because we are sharing precious time with each other.
I don't want to be thought of as a waste of time,
I don't want to think of it as a waste of time,
and this is the most important thing,
This won't be a reference for anyone!!
I think it's just me (lol).
Before a live show,
No one is even looking at me (T ^ T)
and being in a negative mood (lol)
Personally, this is the best one (lol)
And once I get on stage
They watched me~~~♪
and I simply wag my tail.
I'm simple (lol)
In short, it's a sharp rise from negative to positive
The bigger this gap is
the better my tension gets.
Probably on the 14th, too, before the SE
Kazuya will be thinking in his heart.
Like a burnt bread
Nobody is looking at someone like me...
They aren't interested (T ^ T)
Yes, cute (lol)
But please look at me like crazy on the day.
If you do that, Kazuya will wag his tail (lol)
This week, as FANTASTIC♢CIRCUS
we will perform for 2000 people with the desire to bridge the past 17 years and the present.
Next month, as OFIAM
Is a band without a vocalist really finished!?
The ingenuity of a band without a vocalist
The true form of what an artist should be
The challenge of creating 1 from 0
I want to show you.
Since it was Golden Week this time
and because of FANTASTIC♢CIRCUS
I'm grateful to say that
my social media followers have increased a lot
so I thought if people were interested in
my current activities and way of thinking
I would post a lot on the blog.
I simply tried to appeal to you \(//∇//)\
Well, I guess it's the last day of Golden Week.
Please enjoy your respective Golden Weeks
I am checking the new OFIAM tracks.
These are really good, so look forward to them!
By the way, the song I plan to provide to Mr. Ishizuki
is also unimaginably good.
For those who like Kazuya's melodies
I recommend both.
I would be happy if you could continue to
support our present and future
kazuya
