I went to the Okuda Tamio’s live that is attracting many good mannered fans with overwhelming warmth.
My favorite his songs are “SON”, “Pieces of Love”, “Wild Rose” and “true Asia” that probably he made it for fun with YOHSUI INOUE for PUFFY, or maybe he just pretended like he is playing but he fought with real swords.
This time, it was joint-live with three bands and artist “KAERA KIURA”, “B-DASH” and “TAMIO OKUDA” and it was celebrating the launch of Tribute album of TAMIO OKUDA.
We were invited with small fate, but at any rate, TAMIO OKUDA’s live had so much overwhelming power with powerful voice, voice quality and he was playing various types of guitars one right after another and he was putting in the shadings to his songs, and he was with champion’s dignity.
When I watched him from TV he looked like he is very natural, easygoing way of talking, but still he is having masculine atmosphere. He has so many fans in between those folk generations and rock generations, but I have got image that still he is very natural guy.
I was surprised to hear the big difference of songs live arranged version from the album arranged version.

It was very fresh for me to feel the power and good taste of adult with cool punk and the arrangement that was based on slow jazz that made us feel drive which is like an improvisation of jazz live.
I felt that Tamio is always playing those same tunes, but he always fees the trend of the time sensitively, and so he is having minor change with those tunes.
I could feel from his overwhelming powerful voice that he is the man that is with will that he is doing regular training without saying to anybody.
Again, I felt that people who can be popular in this hard music industry for long term, they have to know how to produce themselves, and management themselves, and they have to have the possibility to express next big thing with the times, and that they have the guts to keep always being a winner in the game.
It is miracle that he can make new songs that can make his fans attracted for long time. It can’t be possible without having strong will to have his condition best in physically and mentally.

He does not make us feel anything like that, from his natural loose way of talking, and his deceptive eye, serious and conscientious bit-bad guy, this type of man is the most popular type of man.
So, that’s why not only those majorities of Japanese around thirty women, but also men’s fans are attracted, and get healed, and get energy for their newt works and lives.
I was very moved with this live and I felt that it is very brightening and fabulous for a person who has their strong will how to live, whether it is music or not.
