A stage like a meteor that goes beyond its limits!　Luce Twinkle Wink☆ 1st LIVE TOUR -LLTW☆- t*u*n*i*n*g-" Kanagawa Concert Report

Luce Twinkle Wink☆" (hereinafter referred to as "Luce"), an idol unit aiming to bridge the gap between idols and anime songs, held its first live tour "Luce Twinkle Wink☆ 1st LIVE TOUR -LLTW☆- ～t*u*n*i*n*g ～The Kanagawa concert was held at Kawasaki CLUB CITTA' on January 20, 2018.

As the super-capacity crowd waited in anticipation, the silhouettes of the five members appeared on stage, enveloped in backlight. The opening number was "Fight on! The impressive cat punch choreography and the crisp movements of the dancers were even more lively than usual. Sachino Usami's heartfelt solo in the chorus of the song was the first live performance after turning 20 years old.

The five members then performed "Daisuki, Suki, Daisuki, Suki 、、、、、," "go to Romance >>>>>," "Precious☆Summer," and "Treasure" nonstop as they ran through five songs in place of greetings. The cute calls of "Precious☆Summer" and the playfulness of the audience were appealing, but when they settled down for the unique dance solos, the amount of movement was frightening. The high stage of CLUB CITTA' clearly shows the intensity and sharpness of their footwork. Treasure" originally gave me a strong impression of the power of expression conveyed through movement, but on this day, the dance was so sharp that it seemed like a different choreography.

A nonstop, all-out live performance!

After a short MC introducing Ms. Usami's birthday and the fact that Megumi Nishikiori and Saki Fukasawa are from their hometown of Kanagawa, the next song was performed. Singing and dancing to five songs in a row with this kind of momentum is an amazing feat, but I shuddered when I realized that this time they seemed to have assembled the full live performance of the five songs as one block. The next block started with the strongest towel song, "You are a star! The tension between the stage side's all-out jumping and the audience's towel whirlwind during the chorus was such that they were demanding each other's all-out energy. Fukazawa and Nishikori leaned in close to Usami for "Shoujo-tachi no Slight Fever," creating a coquettish atmosphere, and Saori Itayama's "Hey, what shall we do..." was so emotional that it almost made the audience cry. The last song of the block, which showed a variety of colorful expressions, was "1st Love Story," the very cute Luce-like song shown in the PV.

The unique feature of this tour was the ani-song cover corner. Generally, anime song covers are usually short medleys, but Luce sang and danced through the full-size version here as well. Paradoxically, it was "Furendo shi shi tai," which showed Luce's unique style. The standard and simple choreography made the sharpness of the movements stand out. The five Luce members' natural voice quality is a natural weapon in this song, which has a strong image of being sung by the voice actors who appeared in the original song. Kaho Higaki was in charge of the choreography for this song, and during the interlude, Itayama and Higaki shot (?) the zombies played by the other three. Gakkou Gurashi! I laughed at the respectful choreography.

The fresh and fresh performance was Nishikori-san and Higaki-san's "God knows...", which was a complete change of pace from the vocal performance!　The low tones and hammory of Mr. Nishikori's voice were impressive, and the way they faced each other and clashed with each other's singing voice was new. Nishikori proudly revealed, "The theme of the live was t*u*n*i*n*g, so I tried to play the tuning of the hammory.

In the second half of the anime song covers, they performed "16-year-old Agape" by Wake Up, Girls! is not! and covers of songs by popular voice actor units!　Personally, I have seen the original versions of both songs on stage many times, so it was very interesting to see them expressed differently with Luce's one and only weapon: dance. They choose their own songs and choreograph their own dances. It was a unique "Tsukuru Luce" cover corner.

The live performance was created together with Winker!

Love x Time Soldier ~Future to You, Warrior to Go ~" and "Password" are songs that share the same world view. They portrayed intense emotions using both message-oriented choreography and emotional vocals. The song "Let me cry," with its impressive rap and hard expression by Ms. Nishikori, is another song written by the members that conveys a very large amount of information about the feelings conveyed through the performance.

The theme of the new song "Twinkle "5" stars! The theme of the new song "Twinkle "5" stars! The song was very impressive, starting with Ms. Nishikori's undulating solo, which could be described as "exquisite singing," and the way the five singers' voices organically intertwined with each other. Nishikiori's "I want to be strong with Luce" after the song, Fukazawa's "Let's do smiling exchanges" with a great smile, and Itayama's "I thought I would have nothing if I took Luce, but now Luce is all I need", all conveyed the new song and the feelings that went into this live performance. But now, Luce is enough for me." These words conveyed the feelings that the band put into the new songs and this live performance.

Perhaps it is because they have something they want to convey as a unit, or perhaps it is because they have a clear idea of what they want to convey as a unit, but Usami's appearance in the following song "Hikari" as if she was standing up to face her dream also reminded me of "Twinkle "5" stars! I felt something similar to "Twinkle "5" stars! The dance was strong and gentle, with softness and suppleness in its sharpness.

One of the most impressive dance pieces was "meteor bell," in which a finger puppet made of the index and middle fingers of the right arm walked on the left arm of the dancer. It seemed as if the five members of Luce were about to bring all their hard work to fruition.

The next song was "Polaris. The lyrics, "Breathe in softly, open your eyes, and there are countless stars, shiny stars," were inspired by the scenery that Fukazawa and Higaki saw at "Animelo Summer Live 2017," and the world of their image spread out in the venue. The world of the venue was just as the words suggest. In her performance, Ms. Fukasawa's momentary, all-out effort was more than enough to leave a strong impression on the audience. As Usami sang shoulder to shoulder with the band members, a glimmer of tears shone in her eyes.

The five members continued to give their all until the last song of the show, their major label debut, "Koiiro ♡ Koukoukouri" (恋色♡思考回路).

We gave it our all! The first song of the tour finished with the song of the beginning!

The encore was "Luce Luce Twinkle Wink☆" and "Setsuna Halation". Because these songs can be called Luce's starting point, the audience was able to firmly feel where Luce is now as they have grown up.

Especially during "Luce Luce Twinkle Wink☆," the audience was surprised to see the seats colored in the five colors of the members. The members were thrilled by this heartwarming surprise by the winkers (Luce fans), and it was a spectacle that could only happen at a Luce concert where the winkers were also involved in the production.

What surprised me was that Fukazawa-san jokingly laughed during the MC and said, "I don't want to dance anymore," and Higaki-san revealed that he had a cramp in his leg. It was evident that the live performance, which is a superhuman performance as a matter of course, is actually made possible by the fact that the performers are running on the edge of their limits and above their best effort. It was impressive to see the human side of the girls, who usually push themselves beyond their limits with a cool face.

Having completed their first tour, the five girls were now looking forward to a second live tour on an expanded scale, with a new dream: to see everyone again. The live performance will be available on d-anime store and packaged as a video. The video of this live performance will be available on dAnime Store as well as in a package.
