Official Report】 ※Titles omitted

Voice actor Mamoru Miyano held an arena tour "MAMORU MIYANO ARENA LIVE TOUR 2018 ～EXCITING! The event was held on June 2 and 3 at the World Memorial Hall in Hyogo Prefecture, June 10 at Saitama Super Arena, and June 16 and 17 at Gaishi Hall in Aichi Prefecture. Miyano, who celebrated the 10th anniversary of his debut as an artist this year, just released his first best album "MAMORU MIYANO presents M&M THE BEST" on June 8, his birthday. In this tour, Miyano performed not only the songs from the best album, but also various other performances as if tracing his career to date, making it a performance truly befitting the 10th anniversary.
This report focuses on the Saitama Super Arena concert, which drew approximately 17,000 people, from the EXCITING!

In the opening movie, a stage set resembling an "X" emerged with the image of an airplane flying over the stage, which drew the audience's attention. Then we got off the plane and headed for...this stage. The stage was connected to a live video feed of the standby.
Miyano himself led the band and dancers to the stage, and then he went to a certain place. The next moment the band stopped playing, Miyano popped up on stage with a spark and sashayed onto the stage.

After a moment of lingering excitement, Miyano's voice called out, "Come On!" and the band performed a new song, "EXCITING!
Let's enjoy the 10th anniversary together! This new song was created with the concept of "Let's enjoy the 10th anniversary together! As they said, the first song started with a special effect flame, and the sharp dance moves and "Kochi koko! The audience seemed to be enjoying themselves as they followed the dancers' movements, pointing left and right to the chorus of "This way!
(Dirty Orange REMIX)," the dancers seemed to be tangled in the chains they were holding, and then they found themselves tied to the dancers from all sides. Then, at the beginning of the chorus, the dancers pulled off the chains while singing the choruses, which seemed to embody "SHOUT!

The third song, "BREAK IT! The audience cheered as Miyano shouted "Se-no! the audience responded with repeated shouts of "BREAK IT!

The band called TEAM MAMO and dancers were introduced at this point. However, the taste was a little different from Miyano's recent live performances. The introduction zone continued at various points during the main part of the show, and several members of the band were picked up to be introduced along with the Non Stop Remix of Miyano's song based on "EXCITING! Then Miyano appeared on stage without a break, and the next song was performed.

The fourth song Miyano sang, "Hikari, Hikaru," which he had not sung live in a long time, dressed in white. She gently sang about eternal love on the soaring staircase.
The following song, "Gently Melting Away" is the ending theme of the TV anime "Devil's Line" which is currently airing. The song was impressive for its sometimes impatient singing voice and facial expression, and passionate dance moves. At the end of the song, Miyano's beautiful vibrato and breathing echoed as she played a cappella, drawing applause.
The sixth song, "THANK YOU," changed the mood and brought many smiles to the audience. The lights of the penlights held by the audience were twirling happily along with Miyano's hand movements. Thank you! and left the stage.

Then she changed into a black costume and sang "...Kimi he" with the words, "From now on, it's a ballad corner. The audience was drawn in by the way she spun the song while accompanying the sound of the piano.
I am standing alone in Saitama Super Arena for the first time," she said. It is because of your support for the past 10 years that I am able to take this step. After saying, "Today, I want to put on a live performance just for you, so I would like to sing a song that I prepared just for Saitama Super Arena," they performed "Beautiful Life. After singing "Hey, are you still smiling...? After singing "Hey, are you still smiling...?", she looked up to the heavens and smiled gently, which naturally made the audience feel warm and fuzzy.

By releasing the best album and looking back at the 16 singles, she thought, "It's not so bad now that I'm getting older. Miyano was also happy to see that many of the songs on DISC-2, which were chosen by fan vote, were ballads, which he had regarded as one of the important pillars of his career since his debut.
Next was "MOONLIGHT," the number one song in the poll. With the starry sky and the big moon in the background, she sang the song as if she was whispering to the audience, who smiled as they waved to her.

Following the ballad corner, which is a regular feature of Miyano's live performances, came the movie corner, another well-known feature. This corner has seen the birth of various characters in the past, but this time it was the eternal 16-year-old idol "Masa Mamoru," who had an overwhelming presence among them. Masa, whose distinctive style is characterized by light-colored denim top and bottom and short shorts, apparently celebrated its 10th anniversary, and the drama is tailored to look back on its history, including why the world's first hopping idol was born. The audience cheered when Kenichi Suzumura played the role of Kenichi Chururira, the president of Masa's agency "High Tension," and Takahiro Sakurai guest-starred as his rival, Takahiro Ochirai. There was also a scene in which all the characters played by Shun Takagi in the past movies gathered together, allowing the audience to feel the trajectory of the past. The final act was an EXCITING new song, "Geki Pining! The audience laughed many times at the lyrics of the song, which revealed a secret.
Then, the intro of the 10th song "Kiss x Kiss" started, followed by a throwing kiss scene from Kenichi Churururira. Miyano, dressed in a tricolor costume, appeared on a trolley, waving his hands and smiling as he walked around the perimeter of the arena. She gave many kisses to the audience and the camera to the lyrics of the song "Kimi ni ki x Kiss.

The following song "Orfe" made the audience turn green all at once. Miyano went to the wings on either side of the stage, and the audience got even more excited as he engaged with the band members.
The next song, "NEW ORDER," the twelfth song performed, captivated the audience with its intense dance moves along with the dancers. The audience cheered as the dancers kicked up the air powerfully.

After the introduction of the band and dancers, the first song "Magic" was performed in white costumes and boots. This song was one of the highlights of the performance. Standing in the center of the two monitors behind the main stage, lights, pigeons, and various other things popped up on the monitors in time with Miyano's movements. Then, during the interlude, to the surprise of the audience, 12 Miyanos wearing the first costumes of the previous live performances appeared on stage and all danced synchronized. The image of them eventually being sucked into Miyano in the middle made me feel that it was the history of the past that made Miyano what he is today. It was a magical moment throughout the entire song.
The next song, "GOLDEN NIGHT," was followed by the 14th song "GOLDEN NIGHT" with a mirror ball spinning above their heads. and waving fans, the audience was encouraged to join in with the lyrics. The audience also called out "Just only you" loudly to the lyrics of the song.

The last member of TEAM MAMO was introduced by Ryosuke Kihara, guitarist and bandmaster. He was about to perform solo on "EXCITING!" when Miyano interrupted and sang. After a few words of "Are you having fun? and then the audience was invited to call and response to the song. After the question "Who ate a Soka rice cracker today? The 15th song, "Shine," was a fun and humorous song.
The 15th song "Shine" had the audience in blue and white, just like the colors in the jacket photo, and the way they danced with pompons and showed their full smiles after kissing each other in the song "Kiss me" made us loose our breath. The audience was so happy to be able to see them on the arena tour.

I can't believe we are doing an arena tour. Ten years ago, I never thought that I would be able to do such a thing," he said. The result was the entertainment stage," he said, expressing his strong desire for live performances. He also said, "I was able to take a step forward as an artist through encounters with many creators, and my vision has been expanding as I have continued with my own policy. I am standing here now with confidence as an artist, Mamoru Miyano." He spoke of his own growth over the past 10 years, and again expressed his gratitude to his fans for their support.

The last song of the show was the debut single "Discovery. She sang a cappella a part of the song, "Find it out, get lost, to the sky beyond where we were longing to go. The song was a song of beginnings, and from the very beginning, the audience felt the message that Miyano's goal had taken shape over the past 10 years while overcoming many obstacles, and that he would continue to look forward and move forward, and was moved by the journey he had taken so far.

Miyano reappeared on a trolley to the endless calls for "Mamo". The first encore song was "J☆S. As the meaning of the song was "Just Smile," Miyano kept smiling and waving his hands to the audience, saying "Thank you" to them. Meanwhile, on the sub stage, dancers made a human pyramid, and when it was completed in time to the song, the audience cheered and laughed loudly.

The main part of "EXCITING!" was over, so we're free to go! Miyano shouted and dashed to the sub stage to lie down. While he and TEAM MAMO talked about EXCITING! The audience was excited.
But the real surprise began here. We have a present for you! FUMI called out, "We have a present for you!" and Miyano's song "Happy Happy Birthday" started to play. Miyano blew out the candles as the fans sang along, and the words "Happy Birthday" were projected on the stage ground and other places by laser. The audience was just as surprised as Miyano, and many in the audience shouted "Happy Birthday! The audience also shouted "Congratulations! I thought that getting older was not so interesting anymore, but I thought how happy I was to be celebrated like this by everyone," she said joyfully.

I thought it wouldn't be fun anymore, but how happy I am to be able to celebrate with everyone like this. Will you sing with me? After throwing a few words to the audience, the last song of the day was "Power of Love", which was performed in response to Miyano's voice. As if in response to Miyano's voice, the audience, which had turned completely white, repeatedly shouted "Power of love". The finale of the concert was a perfect example of Miyano's concept of creating together with his fans, which was also fully realized in this live performance.

Miyano's mischievousness was also seen in the stirring, and after the words "I love you all! He bowed deeply and long at the end of his speech, and thanked the audience with a regretful "Thank you very much! He seemed to be regretting his departure from the stage until the moment he left.

The 10th anniversary of his debut as an artist has been a decade of many encounters and support from fans that have helped to establish Mamoru Miyano as an artist. However, I felt that Mamoru Miyano will continue to give and receive a lot of "power of love" in the future, and will continue to evolve "Non Stop" in pursuit of new "Discovery" and "Exciting! I felt that at the performance.
