大好きなバンド，sumikaのライブツアーＤＶＤ「スターティング・キャラバン」を購入しました。今年の７月に行われた武道館ライブのビデオです。セットリストは次の通りです。
I bought a live tour DVD of sumika, one of my favorite bands, titled “starting caravan”. It is a video of their concert at Budokan in July. The list of the songs is as follows.
１曲目は「ＭＡＧＩＣ」となっていますが，インストの「ピカソからの宅急便」がバックに流れる中でメンバーが登場した上での演奏でした。ファンならこの流れでもう大喜びですが、２曲目に「Lovers」が来てさらに盛り上がります。あとは５年間の集大成としてふさわしい選曲でした。個人的にはなぜか大好きな「まいった」が入っていて大喜びでした。
The first song was “MAGIC”, but actually the members appeared on the stage with “Picasso karano Takkyubin”, an instrumental tune, as background music, and then started to play. If you were a fan, you were already excited with this opening but you’d be carried away when you knew the second song was “Lovers”. The rest of the songs were something that deserve to be called a great compilation of their five-year activities. I was really glad to know that “Maitta” was on the list, because I somehow love it very much personally.
派手な演出は一切なく，素朴だけど，本当に音楽だけで勝負しているライブです。ライブの音がスタジオ録音とほとんど変わらないことに驚きました。ボーカルの片岡さんの歌声もＣＤ通りでした。本当に実力のあるバンドだと感心しています。
There was no gaudy atmosphere, rather simple on the contrary, but they really concentrated on their performance. I was surprised, because their sound is as good as the one recorded in studios. Kataoka’s singing voice was the same as the CD version. I was really impressed that they have good skills.
