【連載】BAND-MAID、2万人動員全米ツアーレポート／week2

10月19日(水)　PHOENIX, AZ　CRESCENT BALLROOM

＜BAND-MAID US TOUR 2022＞公演5日目。アリゾナ州・フェニックスでの初公演は、アットホームな雰囲気漂うライブハウス。ステージ横まで客席フロアが広がる会場のため、右に左にとメンバーも乗り出してご主人様・お嬢様を煽っていく。

“おまじないタイム”では、AKANEを背負ったMISAが低音ヴォイスで“萌え萌え”コールを行うなど、メンバーの仲の良さにほっこりする場面も。


本ツアーでは劇場型ステージが多かったが、この日はステージも低めのワンフロアのため、曲数を重ねる毎に会場の一体感もより一層高まっていく。「Choose me」での会場が揺れるようなジャンプに、今ツアー初披露の「モラトリアム」ではシンガロングが起こるなど、この日も熱いパフォーマンスに観客も酔いしれていた。


[Wed, October 19 PHOENIX, AZ at CRESCENT BALLROOM]
Day 5 of the “BAND-MAID US TOUR 2022” performance.
It was also the first performance in Phoenix, Arizona for them at a “homely atmosphere” theater.



The theater’s audience floor spreads out to the both sides of the stage.
The members also moved to the right and left to stirred up the masters and princesses. During the Omajinai Time, MISA was carrying AKANE on her back and called out “Moe Moe” in Misa’s low voice.
And there was a scene that you could feel a member’s good relationship.


In this tour, there were many theater-type stages, but on this day, the stage was one story.
So, As their song progressed, the sense of unity at the venue grew even stronger:
The audience was jumping like the venue was shaking during “Choose me”, and they were enraptured by the passionate performances on this day as well, such as a singalong during"Moratorium", which was performed for the first time on this tour.
