My final show in Tokyo! It was in the beautiful (gosh the acoustics..really, the perfect classical shoebox hall) Hamarikyu Asahi hall, so my theme was based on the kanji 朝日新聞 (The Asahi newspaper) , the first character meaning “new” and the second “hear” (makes sense!). The first half was full of new repertoire as well as familiar pieces but with a modern twist. The second was set in a musical style, where I used a newspaper as a prop to talk about important news - including the ones that don’t make the paper. “One-ness”, again, was the overall theme for this year.

English translation and romanization below the cut.
ENGLISH
WOW WOW WOW WOW
WOW WOW WOW Yeah! Yeah!
It’s the weekend, and you smile
as you comb up the bangs of your mid-length bob
What made you want to see me out of the blue, for the first time in a while?
The beach house is surprisingly packed
On our off-season date
The pancakes we used to love aren't coming
Did you show me your ring finger on purpose
Because you wanted to tell me
You have a new boyfriend now?
OK!
You win!
I still haven’t taken off
My November anklet
The one you gave me, a little secret between us that day
Sorry
Goodbye, and hello
If you’ve met somebody
Nicer than me
Then I’ll just give up
And say there’s nothing else I can do
My loss!
WOW WOW WOW WOW
WOW WOW WOW Yeah! Yeah!
That’s great news, but I can’t find anything to say
I got the sense you were blaming me, telling me not to let you go
Closed-up tents on the open terrace
On the other side of the windowpane
It looks like the color’s drained from both the sky and the beach
Miss you!
Who wins here?
I think I might take off the anklet
From that summer right this second
The one that swung at my bare feet while I ran down the seashore
I LOVE YOU!
A memory on my ankle
The ripples on the water inch ever closer
Beneath the brilliant sunshine
Even the ocean spray
Breaks my heart now
Someday, somewhere
I plan on tidying up all the memories
I’ll send them to his house
Anklet
Anklet
A single regret
On my left ankle
I still haven’t taken off
My November anklet
The one you gave me, a little secret between us that day
Sorry
Goodbye, and hello
If you’ve met somebody
Nicer than me
Then I’ll just give up
And say there’s nothing else I can do
