What is the landscape that ani-song singer TRUE has reached? ...... "TRUE TOURS 2018 - Lonely Queen's Libration Party" Tokyo Concert Report!

Anime song singer TRUE held a tour with her latest 3rd album "Lonely Queen's Liberation Party" and the tour final was held at LIQUIDROOM, Tokyo on July 29, 2018.

TRUE has sung many anime songs, but the live venues are getting bigger and bigger, and on this day, the concert was also sold out. Her momentum continues to grow. This time we report on the tour final, which was filled with loud singing, claps, and smiles.

An overwhelming performance by the lonely queen!

When the venue went dark, there was loud applause and cheers. As the beautiful piano melody echoed, TRUE slowly made her way to the center of the stage. The long-awaited appearance of the diva was greeted with even louder cheers, and the live started with "Lonely Queen's Liberation Party". Although the song was slow and relaxed, the audience was shaken by the overwhelming volume of her voice and her powerful vocals. The light shining strongly from behind her made her look divine.

Today is the final leg of the tour. I will sing with all my heart until the end," she declared as she resumed the live. The audience was also excited by "Puzzle," which brought out the audience's voices, and "Sandrillon," which brought out claps from the audience. Not only the wide range of expressiveness in her singing, but also her performance was appealing as she expressed with her whole body that she truly enjoys music.

The title of their third album is "Lonely Queen's Liberation Party. This is also the title of the tour, but it means a group of friends who liberate the lonely queen. After talking about the concept of the album, Ms. TRUE said, "There may be some songs (genres) that people don't usually listen to, but I hope everyone will free their minds and enjoy the album safely and soundly until the end. I hope everyone can let their minds go and enjoy the album in a safe and healthy way until the end! He then changed the atmosphere and continued with songs in a slightly more adult mood. The performance of the album song "Sekitai sekai" was wonderfully cool, with solo turns by the band!　The next song, "Dear answer," was followed by the audience expressing their joy with loud cheers. The audience felt the song while jumping up and down with their hands in the air during the chorus. The intro of "Roadmap" started with a big, loud singalong, and TRUE-san climbed up on a stand or crouched down on it to sing enthusiastically, just to get the crowd as excited as possible.

After that, TRUE performed a cover song, which is a custom at her live performances. She sang her own lyrics, for which she is currently very active as "lyricist Miho Karasawa. First up was Emi Nitta's "Kyu-Yoku no Kanata" (the ED theme song of the TV anime "Raquen Logic"). The song was performed with a different intensity from the original, followed by "Aikatsu Stars! The song was followed by a cover of "STARDOM," the OP theme song of the 2nd season of "Aikatsu Stars! The song's fairy-tale intro brought cheers from the audience, and by the end of the song, they were waving their hands from side to side, creating a happy mood.

Tie-up songs reminiscent of famous anime scenes

TRUE's live performance was a one-man show, and she presented a variety of views. This time, she performed a ballad with a piano. Oishi-san writes a lot of fun songs, but I like the ballads he writes. I thought he wrote songs that are simple and close to people's hearts," she said, sharing an episode about her next song. When the song arrived, it was right around the time my grandmother passed away, and I wanted to support her. I felt I had to save what I felt at that time as a song, so I wrote it," he said, singing "Oxygen," a song composed by Oishi Masayoshi.

By learning the background of the song in this way, the view that opens up and the emotions that are generated are something to behold. I could feel that they were trying to sing and convey each word carefully in the spotlight.

She also performed "Mirai no Hito He", an image song from the anime "Violet Evergarden", which has moved me every time I have seen it. The story was about the main character, Violet, who only knew how to fight and could not understand people's feelings, but in order to know the meaning of the words "I love you," she started working as a substitute writer and came to know feelings while interacting with people. When she finished singing the hopeful song with a beautiful piano, the applause did not stop for a while.

The band was again formed and went on to another arrangement of her signature song, "Soundscape ~Loving nostalgia Ver. The song was a close companion to her work (Hibikake! Euphonium 2), but also overlapped with her own feelings. Are you busy? Can I be saved? The live was approaching the latter half of the show.

The second half of the live was a whirlwind of love for the songs and the passion of the fans!

In the second half of the live, the excitement of the audience increased even more. During "Jumpin'," there was a loud call and response, and everyone jumped up and down in unison. Then they threw in a series of album songs, including the fist-pumping "alter ego" and the voice-raising "To the next me. TRUE's live style is to push the limits even after performing songs that are this intense. The band members also continued to push the stage with their intense performance. The band members also gave an intense performance, filling the stage.

Then came "Kaleidoscope," to which everyone chanted "Wo Wo Wo Wo" in chorus while waving towels around.

The enthusiasm of TRUE's fans was incredible!　I could feel that everyone was truly enjoying this live performance. Of course, this was because TRUE herself had carefully nurtured this space step by step, but this sense of togetherness was very refreshing and comfortable.

The live concert passed in an instant. I had the best time!　Thank you!　Please listen to this song as a final expression of my gratitude." The song "Anchors Step" began with a stroke of acoustic guitar. The song is a pop number included at the end of the latest album, and is a song that expresses the idea of continuing to walk at one's own pace. The audience joined in the song as percussionists, singing along with Lala Lala at the end of the song, closing the main part of the concert on a happy note.

The encore was answered by endless applause. The next song is a song and a work that made me feel that I had arrived here where I was meant to be after all these years as a singer and a lyricist. I will continue to sing this song with great care," she said, and then she sang "Sincerely," the OP theme song of "Violet Evergarden," quietly and powerfully. The following song, "DREAM SOLISTER," was followed by a big chorus amidst the huge excitement of the audience.

During the double encore, they announced that they would sing the ED theme song for the TV anime "Tensei Tareta Slymu Datta Koto" which will start in October. He said that the ED theme song "Another colony" is as strong as anyone else's. Furthermore, TRUE's 5th anniversary live concert will be held. Fans were overjoyed at this.

Then came the real last song. I am only good at singing and writing. It has been more than 10 years since I first held a microphone, and I have come this far because I have nothing. Being able to perform live is something far away for me, and here is the view I've been dreaming of for so long. I am able to celebrate my 5th anniversary as TRUE thanks to all of you who have come and supported us in this way. Her love for her work, her love for her songs, and her sincerity are conveyed to her listeners through her music, which is why she herself is loved in this way. It's not like me to cry, so let's laugh as much as we can and say goodbye!" She ended the live with "Soundscape," the most exciting song of the day, and closed the show with a smile.
