Brief English translations from Barks' concert report they wrote of last Sat's AKIHIDE LIVE TOUR 2023 -Three Stars- [Band Style] 2nd last tour date at Tokyo's COTTON CLUB ; 1st session
- For the Solo Style of the tour dates , AKIHIDE utilised a guitar & a loop pedal
- Akai Senritsu is the concert's opening number & AKIHIDE said this instrumental no. felt like something you can find in a movie soundtrack
- Singing in the Starlight ; AKIHIDE said he wanted to return to his music roots as a rock guitarist
- Kaerazu no Mori ; reminiscent of the Little Red Riding Hood fairy tale
- It did not rained last Sat so that was a relief to AKIHIDE the self proclaimed Rain Man (LOL)
- COTTON CLUB created a special Three Stars drink last weekend & AKIHIDE had a sip of the non alcoholic version when he gave a toast onstage with fans during the MC segment in which AKIHIDE said the drink was delicious x)
- During when AKIHIDE introduced each of his 3 backup musicians , when it came to drummer KAZU , not only it was the 1st time KAZU backed AKIHIDE up solo wise but onstage , KAZU did not sat on a chair , but rather a cajón
- Shironeko no Rendezvous ; answer song to Kuroneko no Tango
- During the encore segment , only AKIHIDE performed by himself when he covered/played Kimi wo Nosete (from Tenku no Shiro Rapyuta movie)
