GiGinJapan Artwork of Japanese CDs (mostly) Olivia Newton John / Nagoya 2003 / 2CD / Zion
Aichi Prefectural Art Theater, Nagoya, Japan 2nd April 2003
Play sample :
Olivia Newton-John in 2003, who realized the Japan tour for the first time in 25 years since the 1970s. Introducing the world’s first super-superb original recording that conveys the scene.
Engraved on this work is the performance of “April 2, 2003: Aichi Prefectural Art Theater”. It is the transcendental audience recording. Speaking of coming to Japan in 2003, the TV broadcast pro shot of the Tokyo performance is also famous, and “OSAKA 2003 (Uxbridge 977)” has been loved as a standard at our shop. First of all, let’s check the positional relationship of each show in the schedule at that time, including that area.
・April 2: Aichi Prefectural Art Theater ← This work
・April 4: Tokyo International Forum *TV broadcast
・April 6: Tokyo International Forum
・April 7 “OSAKA 2003 (Festival Hall)”
・April 8: Fukuoka City Hall
A total of 5 performances. The Nagoya performance of this work is the first day. It was the very first day when the singing voice resounded in Japan beyond the time of 25 years.
The sound of this work, recorded on such a memorial night, is exactly the best with “super”. It’s so much that I can’t stop saying “super super …”. Anyway, there is no sense of distance at all, and if the core is very thick, the details are super clear. Even in a large household of eight people, each sound is intertwined with each other, and the feeling of separateness that does not mix at all is tremendous. It is the world’s first appearance master handed over by the recording artist himself, but without that background, there is no doubt that I thought “Broadcast sound source? Leaked sound board!?”
However, if you just say “just like a soundboard”, you can’t convey the appeal of this sound. When you cool your head from the first impact and listen to it as if you were looking into a microscope with headphones, you can feel the slight hall noise in the sound, and the applause that pours down finely like May rain is also super real. Certainly, there is also proof of the audience. And this is what raises this work to the “miracle” level. At first, you can feel the warmth of the blood in the core that could only be heard on the soundboard, and the sense of unity of the ensemble resides in the wonderfully separate feeling because it is played at the same time. And Olivia’s singing voice. At its core, it has a sense of zero distance, but at the same time, it also has a sense of exhilaration that extends straight to the end, and it emits a feeling of embrace that gently fills the venue. Just as the church organ creates beauty with the sound of the entire building, this work depicts a world of beauty that cannot be reached with a simple sound board. In fact, the TV broadcast pro shot is famous for coming to Japan in 2003, but it is much more beautiful and impressive than the sound board sound.
A sound that can only be described as “miraculous” no matter how lightly it may be thought of. The beautiful sound is a garden of masterpieces that fills in the blank of a quarter of a century. Although it has been repeated many times, the TV broadcast pro shot of the Tokyo performance reigns as a symbol, so let’s organize it while comparing.
●MCA/RSO era
・If Not For You: If Not For You / Banks Of The Ohio
・ Soyokaze Temptation: Have You Never Been Mellow / I Honestly Love You
・Twilight love: Sam (★) / Don’t Stop Believin’
・Grease: You’re The One That I Want/Hopelessly Devoted To You (★)/Summer Nights
・Xanadu: Xanadu/Magic/Suddenly
・Acoustic Medley: If Not For You / Banks Of The Ohio / Let Me Be There / Please Mr. Please / Jolene
・Other: Take Me Home, Country Roads／Come On Over／Physical
After that
・Gaia (New Departure): Not Gonna Give Into It / Don’t Cut Me Down
・Duet with Olivia: I Love You Crazy (★) / I’ll Come Runnin’ (★)
・Others: Over The Rainbow (*) / Reason To Cry (*) / It Takes Two (*) / (They Long To Be) Close To You
* Note: “*” marks co-starred with her beloved daughter Chloe Rose. The “★” marks are songs that could not be heard in the Tokyo performance pro shot.
… and it looks like this. The previous Japan tour was “TOTALLY HOT”, but the famous songs after “XANADU” and “PHYSICAL” released after that are also solid. Two songs are selected from the return work “GAIA” and the latest work “2” at that time, and the Carpenters cover “(They Long To Be) Close To You” is also sung.
And, more than her repertoire, her beloved daughter, Chloe Rose Ruttanzi. She was 17 at the time, and it was her first time in Japan. “Over The Rainbow” and “It Takes Two” will show off her beautiful mother-daughter duet, and “Reason To Cry” will let you hear her magnificent solo performance. Olivia, who took a break from her music for a while to watch her daughter grow up. It was lonely, but the duet that transcends that era is especially touching.
In any case, a miraculously beautiful audience sound that makes even the soundboard out of the question. It is a new excavation live album where you can experience the best full show for the first time in 25 years with its beautiful sound. It was made public because of the news of Olivia’s death, but its contents were filled with eternal brilliance beyond her sentimentality. A beautiful singing voice, a group of successive masterpieces, and above all, a miracle of music records that shine with the sound itself. Please enjoy yourself with the permanent preservation press 2CD.
★ “April 2, 2003: Aichi Prefectural Art Theater” performance recording of a superlative audience. The world’s first public original master, there is no sense of distance at all, and if the core is very thick, the details are super clear. It is a miracle name recording that is much more beautiful and impressive than the TV broadcast sound board of the Tokyo performance. It is a cultural heritage album that allows you to fully experience the site of the Japanese performance that was realized for the first time in 25 years, such as the masterpiece group that was cut in the pro shot and the duet with her beloved daughter Chloe Rose Rattanzi.
★★Unprecedented super high sound quality.
