郷ひろみ
There was only one music video shoot for his new song. Since I wasn't in arena seating, I spent most of the time sitting and watching. During "O Yome Samba", the people around me started standing up one after another, and I was drawn in to stand up too. He was lively throughout the entire performance, never forgetting the lyrics or missing a beat in the choreography, and it was clear that he's constantly training as a true entertainer. There were many families around my seat. I saw quite a few families attending, with dads and moms in their 40s and 50s, and their sons and daughters. His MC segments included stories about local sweets, learning the intonation of place names (e.g., "Ta, ka↓, o, ka"), and his own stage direction and production. It was a performance that gave me a lot of energy. I'd like to attend again.
