SUMIRE UESAKA LIVE TOUR 2022 "Legend of the Super Revolution" Official Report

On May 4 (Wed., national holiday), in fine weather during the latter half of the Golden Week holidays, voice actress/artist Uesaka Sumire held the Tokyo leg of her "SUMIRE UESAKA LIVE TOUR 2022 Cho Kakumei Densetsu" tour, the final event of the tour, at Showa Women's University Hitomi Memorial Auditorium in Tokyo.

This was the first solo live performance since "Uesaka Sumire's PROPAGANDA CITY 2021" held on October 30 (Sat.) and 31 (Sun.) of last year, about six months ago. As a tour, it will be the first time in about three years since "Uesaka Sumire's No Future Diary 2019" in 2019. Starting with the Chiba concert on the first day of the tour, the tour continued on to Aichi and Osaka, and today's Tokyo concert was the final leg, so many comrades (a collective term for Uesaka Sumire fans) gathered at the venue from all over the country.

When the venue was darkened and the stage was lit up, a set resembling castle walls and gates was revealed. The world view that had been created was undeniably exciting. The opening song was "Premonition," a well-known song at Uesaka Sumire's live performances. As the live band began their powerful performance, bright red laser lights illuminated the venue. The star of the show, Uesaka Sumire, appeared on the red carpet at the center of the stage. She appeared in a devilish off-the-shoulder blue outfit with bat-wing motif ornaments on her head and waist, and said, "Welcome, I am Uesaka Sumire. If you can beat me, beat me! She started her debut song, "From the Seven Seas to Your Sea," and as the audience was excited from the first song, her comrades also raised their red penlights and penlights featuring Sumire Uesaka's favorite drink, vodka, which was a tour item. A flag with a symbol mark on it slowly descended from the back of the stage, and the group sang "Gatteki no yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu" in front of the flag. The theme of this tour is "going back to the origin. The song was dramatic, solemn, and somewhat classical, symbolizing the artist Uesaka Sumire. Such numbers followed.

The cool expression on her face changed to one of her earlier songs, "Genshi, jyoshi wa taiyou da", a well-known live number. The cool expression on her face changed drastically when she sang "Genshi, jyoshi wa taiyou da. Smiling and waving to the audience, Uesaka's happy mood could be seen from the audience.

During the first MC, he said, "I'm so happy to see a full house for the first time in a long time! I'm so happy to see a full house after a long time! The chorus, "Easy love (easy love) Easy love (night date)," was not shouted out but responded with penlights, as if the new way of enjoying live performances in these days had become widespread.

During the following gothic rock numbers, "Enma ni Daio ni Konnichiwa Gorogoromo" and "Parallax View," they bent their bodies and shouted furiously, showing their versatility as artists.

During the first costume change, she appeared in a pure white outfit that looked like a plinth, wearing a tiara. Whenever she jumped, her skirt, ribbons, and hair danced in the air, creating a dainty mood. After the enchanting performance of "Bon ♡♡♡ Bon ♡♡ Bon is his own ♡♡" and "Koisuru Shape (cubic futurismo)", the MC talked about the interlude video in which Nana Mizuki, who is a senior at her record company King Records and a voice actress Uesaka respects, made a guest appearance. She was so kind that she appeared in different situations in the interlude video for the four performances," he said, expressing his gratitude for the opportunity.

The mood was relaxed with "Drops" and "No Future Vacance," followed by a costume change again. The mood had changed drastically from the previous songs, as they changed into cheerful ponytails and mini-dresses with red and black geometric checks. The song was a challenging one, with modulations, back voices, and fast speech, but Uesaka cleared it without any difficulty. The audience could catch a glimpse of Uesaka's high potential as an artist.

During the choreography corner for "Theme of a Warrior on Night Shift," which was introduced at the last live, many of her comrades had already mastered the choreography and showed perfect coordination during the preliminary practice before performing the song, surprising Uesaka. At the end of the show, they performed "Revolutionary Vaudevillian Alliance" on the stage with a loudspeaker. When the end roll of the tour was shown on the screen, the audience spontaneously applauded for encore.

Uesaka appeared on stage again in the encore costume arranged from the tour T-shirt and performed "True Revolutionary Legend" (included in the first album "Revolutionary Vaudevillian League"), which was the concept of this tour, for the first time in 9 years since its release.

They also announced "Gegege no Kitaro", a stage play in which Uesaka will play the role of Neko Musume from July 29 (Fri.) to August 15 (Mon.), 2022 at Meijiza Theater in Tokyo, announced their 5th album to be released this fall, and announced that today's performance would be distributed on delay.

During the encore MC, a single tear was seen welling up in Uesaka's eye at one moment as she honestly expressed her gratitude to her comrades, saying "Thank you" and perhaps unintentionally moved to tears.

Uesaka and the entire audience united in waving flags during "Neo Tokyo Shoka" and closed the tour with "Uesaka Dynamic," the last number of the night. The performance ended with a commemorative photo with the audience in the background, creating a happy atmosphere throughout the show. Throughout this tour, she has shown her charm as a singer, her ability to talk as well as anyone else, her ceiling-less growth, and the euphoric space she created with her comrades is one-of-a-kind. Uesaka Sumire has created a new legend with this tour.
