JUNNA ROCK YOU TOUR 2018-2019 ~The Scream of an 18-Year-Old
January 6 (Sun) Shinkiba STUDIO COAST (Tokyo) Official Report

JUNNA ROCK YOU TOUR" tour with their 1st full album "Who said that 17 years old is beautiful? JUNNA ROCK YOU TOUR 2018-2019 ~The Scream of an 18-Year-Old~" tour with their first full-length album "17-Sai ga BEAUTIFUL, WHO SAID 17-Sai wa BEAUTIFUL? Here is a report from the second day of the Tokyo show, where they performed their new song "Konoyubitomare" (the opening theme song for the TV anime "Gaket Kegai Grui XXX") and reported the opening of their official fan club "Junna 6 Kumiai" and a fan club event to be held in spring.

When the volume of the opening sound effects became louder, the audience clapped loudly as they waited for the start of the live. The band started to play as if overlapping with the opening sound, and as the red carpet opened, JUNNA appeared and started the live with the song "I can't do it. The song was written by JUNNA herself, and the lyrics, "So I'll live my life the way I like it," were powerful and heartwarming. The audience, who were all standing and raising their fists in the air, shouted "Wow Wow," building a sense of unity right from the start, and they quickly moved on to "Passion Moratorium.

It was hot even though we only sang three songs (laughs)!　This setlist is full of hot songs, but will you follow me? After a short greeting, the band continued with more punchy songs. The arrangements of the songs were impressive, such as "Mou yada! and "Crazy Canvas," which had impressive arrangements, the phrases of the original songs were reproduced live, and the live chorus added depth to JUNNA's passionate vocals.

After the cool stage performance, JUNNA enjoyed chatting with the fans during the MC. He asked the audience, "What did you do during New Year's? He asked, "What did you do during New Year's?　I didn't get any of my homework done!" I vacuumed!　I watched the Hakone Ekiden to the end for the first time, and it gave me courage. The gap between this emotional closeness to her fans and the intensity of her live performances is one of her great charms.

From "Akai Kajitsu (Red Fruit)," the audience could enjoy JUNNA's vocal range, which was proven on her first album. She sang "JINXXX" while dancing, and then sang "Otona wa kotsuwa kudasai kurenai" and "I won't tell you the truth" with beautiful acoustic guitar and live string sounds. From there, after an instrumental song, she appeared, this time in a cute monotone outfit and holding a walking stick!

They performed "Be Your Idol," the only song on the album with a cute taste, while groovily stepping on the steps. It was also impressive to see her dancing with the band members in a friendly manner during the interlude. But, "This is the only cute song! and after only one song and a quick costume change, the band re-accelerated toward the end of the show.

After enjoying a call-and-response during the intro to "Steppin'Out," the audience got into the swing of the towel during "Nai nai borderline. From this point on, let the audience get involved and rock their souls out! The audience was so excited that they started to get more and more passionate about the song. The audience sang along to "Catch Me" and sang along to "Red, Flower of Despair. The emotional vocals of the singer pounded through the song "Red, Flower of Despair. As the tour title suggests, the sight of JUNNA screaming and singing was overwhelming. Then she played the Telecaster and sang "Kick the World Away! (The song was sung by JUNNA herself, playing a telecaster. During this song, big balloons and ribbon tapes with JUNNA's message on them were shot all over the venue, which seemed to convey the message that everyone should create and enjoy the live together.

Then, in the last part of the main performance, she said, "I think this song has shown a new side of me to those who have supported me since "Macross Delta". Please let me sing this important song as the last song" and sang "Here~album version~". The song was sung softly but powerfully, leaving the audience with a great aftertaste.

The encore surprisingly started with "Onyanoko☆girl", in which Makina Nakajima sang the main vocal in "Macross Delta". Since the previous day's Tokyo performance was "Valkyrie Stopped", the audience was expecting a fierce song typical of JUNNA, but instead they were treated to a pop tune with cute dance moves. I chose this song because I wanted to surprise everyone," said Nozomiru (Nozomi Nishida). I was sad that I wasn't allowed to perform it on stage at the 1st live, so I said, "I want to dance with everyone..." and from the next 2nd live, I was allowed to participate. I said, "I was sad that they didn't let me dance on stage at the 2nd live, but I wanted to dance with everyone. Then they performed a new song "Konoyubitomare" in full size. The second chorus, which is very difficult to sing, was a sight to behold.

Today, I think I was able to show who JUNNA is. I thought a lot about this tour so that everyone could enjoy it. It is rare to have a hanamichi at a live house, but when I selfishly said I really wanted to do it, they made it for me. I think that being able to be close to everyone is the meaning of my live performance, and being able to deliver my songs in close proximity to everyone is what makes me the happiest. I enjoy creating something together with everyone, and I think it makes my life worth living. Thank you for coming here to listen to my songs, enjoy them, and give me your precious day. I hope to share many, many more times like this with everyone in the future, so will you all follow me?　He then sang "CONTRAST," the last song on his first album, with an acoustic guitar in his hand. He then sang "CONTRAST," the last song from their first album, with an acoustic guitar in his hand.
