On April 21, 2019, singer Yuri Matsuoka held her first solo live "Yuri Matsuoka Release Live ".A" ".B" ".C" at Daikanyama UNIT in Tokyo.

Yuri Matsuoka is a popular singer who has gained support from many listeners for her handsome voice, which is cooler than any man's even though she is a woman. She is a multi-talented singer who has released many singing videos on the Internet under the name "Ikaasan" and also works as a stage actor and voice actor under the name "Yuri Matsuoka." Starting in January 2019, she will release three consecutive mini albums ".A," ".B," and ".C" under the name "Yuri Matsuoka" for three months. She has also started a new development as an artist.

Matsuoka will hold his first solo live performance in full force. In a recent interview, Ms. Matsuoka expressed her feelings about starting her career as "Matsuoka Yuri" instead of "Ikaasan," and her performance on stage this time was very emotional.

Cool and cool to the end of the road......

As the floor gradually heats up with electro overture, Matsuoka-san appears in a passionate red costume following his band members. From a woman's or a man's point of view, it was just "cool. The live started with the cool words, "Now, let's bring you the best night of your life. The curtain rose with "Burn!

While her powerful voice was accompanied by the upper band sound, she was also very theatrical and somewhat sensual as she emotionally revealed her inner anguish over her unknown feelings. The audience cheered in yellow as Matsuoka's charms were captured in this song.

The following song, "Idiotic Elegy," also featured her rock voice, while "GlossyXXX" featured trancey and danceable synth sounds as well as full-body dance moves. From the beginning of the show, he charmed the audience with his various expressions (but he always remained "cool").

Matsuoka, who has such a "prince" image, continued his "prince" image in the first MC talk.

He asked the audience, "Is it nice to meet some of you? Are you nervous? I am very nervous. The audience cheered again when he told the floor in his charming alto voice, "I'm nervous.

On the other hand, "Matsuoka Yuri is going to take a big step forward with everyone here," he said, revealing his true colors, which made the audience feel a little nervous. Matsuoka himself must have some thoughts about starting his music career under a different name from the one he had been using until then, "Ika-san. It was evident that he was standing on the stage today with great courage.

However, the next moment, he returns to the expression of an artist, which is another strength of Matsuoka-san.

With you, I can go anywhere.

He sang "Starting Chapter. It is a positive song that is perfect for the beginning of a journey. He stretched out his hands wide, a complete change from the cool image he had earlier. She sang with a dazzling smile on her face.

The first half of the song "Gypsophila" was impressive, as the saxophone part was replaced by a guitar in the live performance. In the live performance, the saxophone part was replaced by a guitar, creating an arrangement with a sense of expansive space.

The live version of the song was a complete change from the aggressive style of the previous songs. She sang calmly and emotionally. The audience was impressed not only by the charm of her voice but also by her expressive power.

The soul-crushing voice gave me goosebumps ...... at the end of the live performance.

Matsuoka-san left the stage once.

After an instrumental song by the band members, Matsuoka appeared on stage again, this time wearing a blue blue jacket, and resumed the live performance with "Louder! The wild sound of the song was followed by the inviting line, "Come on in," which was greeted with loud cheers and a powerful opening to the middle part of the live performance.

The band started the live with a call for the audience to "throw away all appearances and troubles, and let your hearts' cries be heard here.

The audience united in a sing-along to the song "Beyond all.... Let's keep making a place where you are! and sang his own message as an artist.

The band sang "E.X.I.T." while asking the audience to "show us your way," and the audience could sense the band's strong will to never leave their fans behind as the band sang their thoughts and feelings with each song. Especially in the middle part of the live performance, this feeling seemed to be strongly expressed. This is probably why the sense of unity on the floor was so strong at this point.

The live was already heading toward the end.

At this point, Matsuoka-san spoke again about his own thoughts and feelings.

She said, "At one time, I was unable to sing," she said, "but I made up my mind to keep moving forward with the pain I was going through. In the end, only I can decide my own path. I want to keep moving forward," she said. I still want to sing it," he said, introducing "Sayonara no Uta" (Song of Goodbye).

With only an acoustic guitar playing in the background, she sang the song with dignity.

The song was filled with so many feelings and emotions that some of the audience members were seen wiping tears from their eyes.

In the following song, "Zero Degrees," the singers performed hard, clutching stand-up microphones, and their shouts were so passionate that they sounded as if they were cutting into their souls. The band sang with such ghoulish intensity that one could not help but get goosebumps and excitement at the thought that they could also show such intense expressions and singing voice.

The song "Souls will not disappear" was followed by a rousing "Kakekkoi! and stirred up the floor. The audience again became one, and the chorus rolled out. The audience was even more excited by "Bite the Bullet" with their fists in the air. In front of the audience, which was filled with the most excitement of the day, he shouted "I'm so proud to be flying around in the sky with you guys! Matsuoka shouted with all his heart.

The last half of the live performance was like an all-out assault of "real emotions" that could not be described in simple expressions such as "cool" or "wild. The last song of the live was "Let's take you out to our world that you haven't seen yet. This song, which Matsuoka says was the first time he sang about his honest feelings, shines with its dreamy, euphoric lyrics and sound. The finale of the main live performance was a foretaste of the wonderful world that Mr. Matsuoka will show us in the future.

Live performance expressing the "present" that connects the past and the future

When the audience called for an encore, Matsuoka-san came out in a T-shirt. His rough appearance was met with a mixture of "cool" and "cute! and "Cute! Matsuoka, who was beaming at the "cute" voices, performed "Dear Gemstones," the first tie-up song for Yuri Matsuoka (from the anime "Rinshin!!!" episode 12). Ekoda-chan" episode 12 theme song). It is a discotic song that shows a new frontier, and it is exactly the kind of number to get the audience excited at a live performance.

Before the final song, Matsuoka-san, who was so happy to perform his new song for the first time, reflected on the live performance, saying, "I don't want it to end," and "I love this time I spend with you guys," and talked again about his music career from the day he announced that he would start his music career as "Matsuoka Yuri" until now.

He also said that he has been able to reach today's stage because of his fans who still support him. Even when I felt like my heart was about to break, I was able to do my best because I had fans who were willing to share their thoughts and feelings with me.

When I thought about these fans again, I realized that it was not the time to be worried. I will continue to follow the path that Matsuoka Yuri has believed in.

He also said that he will continue his activities in the future. He also revealed that he was planning something near his birthday (September 23) and asked the audience to "walk with him." Finally, he performed "Ten Years After," a song that he could only sing now.

He concluded with "Ten Years After," a song that could only be sung now. I can't help but look forward to it. I am sure the fans feel the same way.

At the same time, I wonder what kind of "world we have yet to see" they will show us. It is also true that we are looking forward to seeing what kind of "world we have yet to see. The live performance was a symbol of the "present" as the point of contact between the "past" and the "future," a mixture of gratitude to the fans who have believed in her and determination for the story of "Yuri Matsuoka" that is about to begin.

I would like to conclude this report with expectations for the next page that she will draw.
