Yukari is Yukari, who has given me courage for all these 20 years! Report on "20th Anniversary Tamura Yukari LOVE LIVE 2017 *Crescendo ♡ Carol*".

Yukari Tamura's live concert "20th Anniversary Yukari Tamura LOVE ♡ LIVE 2017 *Crescendo ♡ Carol*" was held at Yokohama Arena on September 26 (Tuesday) and 27 (Wednesday), 2017, celebrating 20 weeks since her debut.

Although they had recently appeared at a fan club event and "Animelo Summer Live 2017 -THE CARD-," this was their first solo live performance in about 2 years and 3 months, since their live tour held from April to June 2015. The band performed a total of 26 songs, including encores on both days, of which 11 songs (12 if you include changes in song order), nearly half, were new songs and a variety of old and new songs were performed.

Let us report on the live performances on both days!

The stage was diverse, from debut songs to songs performed for the first time!

The first day of the live.

With the air filled with anticipation, Ms. Tamura appeared on stage in yellow-colored costume and opened the live with "Hello Again" (OP theme song of Bunka Hoso's "Yukari Tamura's Otome Shin ♡ Syndrome"). She must have been nervous as this was her first solo live performance in a while. When the audience cheered loudly, tears came to her eyes and she even choked up a little at one point.

However, the smiles and cheers of her fans, known as the "royalty," took away her stiffness. Her expression became softer and softer, and her face filled with smiles of joy. With pom-poms in her hands, she sang "Planet Rendezvous" and "I Can't Tell You I Love You" with a cool and loving feeling, further enlivening the audience.

During the MC, she asked the audience, "What should I say first?　It's been so long, I don't know what's what. Looking around at the packed venue, which naturally had no audience at the rehearsal, he said, "I'm glad we did it (the live show) when everyone joins in. I felt it was worth doing.

Then, they drew everyone in with a variety of performances, including fashionable songs such as "Luminous Party" and songs with a mature atmosphere. This time, the stage was set up as a "moving stage," moving back and forth across the arena like a lift, and the dancers sang and danced with the audience, bringing smiles and singing voices to everyone in the venue.

During the interval, Ms. Tamura showed images such as "If Yukarin was a crepe maker" and "If she moved in next door" to stimulate everyone's fantasies. Then she changed into a white costume and reappeared, this time singing "Kokoro no Tobira (Door to the Heart)" softly. Her voice was not only beautiful, but also had a hearty core, and her movements, including her eyes and gestures, seemed to weave a story. The breath she put into each word of "Lost Sequence" also expressed the world of the song.

In addition, she performed not only songs under her own name but also character songs. Masquerade kiss" (character song of TV anime "Ore no Kanojo to Kodomo Natsumi ga Shuraba Itsuka") and "Sewing My MODE" (character song of "Girl Friend(♪)" Tokitani Koruri) were full of emotion and showed the different moods of each character. The song also shows a different flavor.

Celebrating her 20th anniversary, she said that her debut as a voice actress and her CD debut were timed at the same time. She performed an acoustic version of her memorable 1997 debut song "Yuuki wo Kudasai" (insert song for "Macross Generation"), which was released on 8 cm CD at the time. It was a touching moment when the song, which was released on 8cm CD at the time, transcended 20 years and echoed through the hall with the deep voice of the singer.

After a video of an anniversary cake being made, Princess Yukari and "Yukari One-san" performed "Melon Ondo: Festival of Kingdom," and special guest Yuka Kagurazaka (nicknamed "Yucatan") appeared on stage. The MC promised to show her underwear with the nickname "Yukatan" written on it. Yucatan, who said that her debut (first appearance) was at the same Yokohama Arena, charmed the audience not only with her Showa-era idol-inspired songs, but also with the sexy and slightly melancholy atmosphere of "Onnaho".

Tamura-san herself returned to the stage again and performed "Yukari wa Yukari ♡♡" for the first time from her mini-album "Princess ♡ Limited" to be released on November 15. She sang "Yukari wa Yukari ♡♡" for the first time from the mini album "Princess ♡ Limited" to be released on November 15, and it was cute how she sang it with a little embarrassment.

What was even more adorable was what happened during the following MC session. It seemed that she had not eaten after the rehearsal, so she suddenly said, "I'm hungry" and "I want to eat doll pancakes (sold at the booth). He moved to the edge of the stage and asked fans in the audience to carry the doll yaki to the stage in a bucket relay style, and he and the band members took a bite. Tamura smiled and said, "Is there ever a live show where you rob and eat doll yaki from the merchandise stands?" Tamura smiles.

After eating all three flavors, Tamura-san borrowed a pen from another person and signed the box. He even asked another person for a piece of paper to give to the person who lent him a pen to sign the box. It is rare for someone to do such a thing at a live concert venue for 10,000 people, let alone at a small release event. However, no matter how large the venue, the sense of closeness with the fans remains the same, which is probably what "Yukari Tamura" is all about.

After refueling with Ningyo-yaki, the live went into the last spurt. The last song of the show was "W: Wonder tale," in which she told the audience "thank you" for their support. Tamura-san was enjoying this time with everyone even during the encore. During "Super Special Smiling Shy girl," there was a call-and-response and a session with the band members, and she was enjoying herself with everyone until the very end.
