I went to Toshinobu Kubota's live performance at Okayama Harenowa on December 25th. I was lucky enough to see it from the second row, right in the center, which was amazing. Kubota-san remembered coming to the Okayama Civic Culture Hall for his debut tour 40 years ago, and he asked if anyone who was there then was present, so I said I was. I immediately blurted out that I joined the fan club right after that. It was my first Kubota-san concert in a while, but his singing was as good as ever, and it was a fantastic 2-hour and 20-minute show.
