MTV Super Dry Live
Posted: Tue May 31, 2005 1:21 pm
I'm back from Japan and ready to report on the MTV Super Dry Live event held at Yoyogi on May 28.
There were about six or seven bands on the bill. DCT was the fourth to appear. Miwa was dressed in pink satin pants and vest, white tube shirt, pink fedora.
They played:
Kessin no Kinyobi
Ola Vitoria
Innocent
Nando Demo
Miwa was busting some serious dance moves during several songs during the set, showing some of the hip hoppers who appeared before and after what it's all about.
After that short set, there was a sort of "wedding ceremony." Yousuke and Yoko, two DCT fans, were brought onstage. The emcee explained how much DCT's music had meant to them, etc. and then solemnly asked if they promised to love one another forever. Miwa held a small pillow with the wedding ring. Yousuke fumbled with the ring, and Miwa sort of guided him through it when he looked confused for a moment.
Then, Masa got an acoustic guitar and started strumming the melody to Ureshii, Tanoshii, Daisuki. Miwa sang a very tender and beautiful version of the song to the two lovebirds.
There was not a dry eye in the house.
All in all it was a brief set, but the acoustic Ureshii, Tanoshii made it well worth the 3,500 yen I paid for the ticket outside the gate, even though my seat sucked.
The other artists on the bill (Asia Engineer, Soul'd Out, Jamiroqua, etc,) sucked with the exception of Sumurusu, a Japanese power pop band whose CD I am trying to get.
