Shozo Ise

A friend from the Kaguya-hime generation wanted to go, so I got tickets through an advance lottery! It was my first time attending a Shozo Ise concert, and I was looking forward to it since he has so many famous songs. The renovated Shibuya Public Hall, now known as LINE CUBE SHIBUYA, is super beautiful, like it was rebuilt from scratch! A few days ago, I also attended a concert of Kosetsu Minami, whose singing voice hasn't changed from the old days. I was shocked when it started! His voice wasn't coming out at all! I couldn't understand the lyrics! His pitch was off! He couldn't hit the high notes at all! So, famous songs like "22-sai no Wakare" (Farewell at 22) sounded like completely different songs! The band's sound was abnormally loud, as if trying to drown out the vocals! For some reason, the lyrics were sometimes displayed in the background! It was a concert at a level where it should have been canceled or refunded. However, Shozo Ise's guitar and the backing band were top-notch. But I came to listen to the singing...
