NANA MIZUKI LIVE ISLAND 2018 Wave 01 in Miyagi



Happy Holidays everyone! Figured I'd squeeze a report out as an Xmas present for you all so here it is! I have one more LIVE ISLAND report in the pipeline after this (I went to three, but for personal reasons I am skipping the report on one. I am sorry everyone! Please look forward to the final in Met Life Dome at least) and a lot of various other events I'm planning to cover (such as KING SUPER LIVE 2018, Pop Cast Epic, TGS stage event and Persona 5 shenanigans..), but hopefully those should be pretty quick to write up. Or I am being overly optimistic. We'll see!

[Live Viewing] NANA MIZUKI LIVE GATE 2018 Day 7 at Nippon Budoukan



And finally, my journey with LIVE GATE is coming to an end. Just almost took all of 2018 to make it. orz Anyways, next up will be LIVE ISLAND! As usual, this report is based on my memories of the night so if something is missing or is weird from what's on the Blu-ray/DVD it just means that I am getting old and forgetful.

NANA MIZUKI LIVE GATE 2018 Day 6 at Nippon Budoukan



Just one more LIVE GATE after this one and I can move onto LIVE ISLAND! \o/ Can this really be true?? It still feels like such a distant dream to be making this much progress on my backlog....

NANA MIZUKI LIVE GATE 2018 Day 5 at Nippon Budoukan



I can finally see a glimmer of the light at the end of the LIVE GATE report tunnel! Just a bit more!! I also started to wonder if you guys actually want me to write a report for LIVE GATE Day 7, since I only attended the live viewing and it's what is on the BD/DVD. Please let me know in the comments or answer this Twitter poll (up for 24h):

NANA MIZUKI LIVE GATE 2018 Day 4 at Nippon Budokan



So things are finally settling down in my life and as celebration here is the short format report of Day 4! I hope there's at least something interesting in here that you weren't able to get from the BD/DVD content. xD

[Announcement] So I moved back to Japan!




Maybe you've been wondering where the rest of my LIVE GATE reports were, but for once I had a legit reason for disappearing for a few months.

I moved back to Japan start of June!

I have been really busy with the move on both ends and with Japan being Japan, I only got internet in my new home just a week ago. Hence, I haven't really been in a position to make this announcement either until now.

Hopefully soon I can resume with LIVE GATE (If you guys still want them with the BD/DVD already out and all?) and then move onto LIVE ISLAND. At least you can expect me to attend events more easily now, even if my write ups still take a million years...

Anyways, things are still pretty crazy for me right now with getting used to my new job and new life, not to mention I am still struggling with grief from a recent personal loss (which I may, or may not, talk about later) so bear with me!

NANA MIZUKI LIVE GATE 2018 Day 2 at Nippon Budokan



Here's the first slightly shorter format report for Day 2 of LIVE GATE! It is amazing though how much it cut down the time I need to write so maybe it was a good trade off. If you are interested in a full length report, you can check out the one I wrote for Day 1:

NANA MIZUKI LIVE GATE 2018 Day 1 at Nippon Budokan



Long time, no write folks. For once I have legit reasons for being so late instead of excuses, but I guess it doesn't really make a difference... since late is late. Anways, here I am with the first LIVE GATE report! The first.....of six. Ouch. I'm thinking of going for a bit of a different approach from normal for these reports as the format of LIVE GATE is pretty unique with its 7 days concept, so in all the later reports I am only going to write about the songs that were changed from previous rotations and any repeated songs during which something worth mentioning happened. Hope that's fine for everyone!
