Re:
Agree with most of what salvanos said. Incidentally, yes, my bad, it was not Canta Per Me, but Salvanos.
Sorry, I was very tired in my last post, hehe. I had wanted to say more. So, to continue!
@Those who lament sound quality:
You need to remember that studio recordings (having been someone who used to record in recording studios as a humble technician) are meant to achieve sound quality "perfection". There are very, VERY picky, picky sound engineers and producers there with their ridiculously expensive equipment, so of course they're going to want to make the most of it, lol. Hence, singers/musicians will keep doing as many takes as desired till this "perfection" is deemed to have been reached.
You CAN'T reach this kind of "perfection" in a live experience. Studios are controlled environments, whereas in a live venue there is often no control of several factors, i.e. those terribly abused loud speakers, ha, the size of the venue, whether it was enclosed or open, the sound engineer's goofs, the equipment set up, etc. etc. As a performer you absolutely have no control over many things, so you do your best, even if sometimes you're not at your best. And if in cases of repeat/ongoing performances, sometimes you've got your good days, your awesome days, and your blah days. It's never going to be the same all the time. Besides, if you've never performed in front of so many people, who are you to judge? It is NOT easy.
So, I commend the girls and the band for singing with their hearts as best as they can and I don't judge them for any mistakes, even when it's hard not to notice sometimes. The point is I go there to EXPERIENCE the music, to be one with it.
Also, it was so wonderful to watch Yuki sama and the band members, too. I've always loved how expressive Yuki-sama is when she's playing, how much Korenaga-san and Jr-san have a blast, how soulful Konno-san plays violin, and how Sato-san rocks those drums (I wish I could have heard more intricacies of those drums).
I too wish I had a glow stick!! I clapped my hands, waved my arms, and screamed instead.
(Not as loud as the guy behind me, omg, it's like he had a megaphone, lol.) They were sooo adorable! And beautiful! And yes, Yuriko and Kaori were on the ball. They had an awesome day. =D
I also would have liked to have met some other CPM members, here, but hopefully next time (I hope there's a next time!)
