A Nation 04 concert was over last Saturday, on the 28th August at Tokyo memorial park. Even though it was drizzling on that say, the happiness and enthusiasm of the 45000 fans there couldn’t be denied.
The concert started with this year’s new comer Ai Otsuka, playing and singing her song <<Goldfish, fireworks.. sorry dunno the title, translated it directly.. hahax>>. HITOMI performed wearing denim clothes, making the crowd overjoyed. Korea’s pop queen BoA performed in a “racer” costume, dancing and singing. AVEX’s new singnings Tommy February 6 and TM Revolution also performed well. When Tommy February 6 sang the theme song for pikachu’s movie <<L.O.V.E.L.Y>>, Pikachu appeared on stage. Every Little Thing’s female lead singer has changed her image, singing a ballad on stage. Last to perform was Hamasaki Ayumi, who appeared in a short bright red skirt, singing and dancing to her new song <<INSPIRE>>. Clearly the “leader” of the performers, Ayu also sang <<Boys & Girls>> and many other familiar tracks. The whole concert lasted more than 4 hours and ended with a fire works display.
Although Namie Amuro didn’t perform in the concert, she brought her son, Haruto to watch TRF’s performance. That day, Namie dressed simply, standing right in front of the stage with her son enjoying her ex-husband, Sam’s performance.
