NANA MIZUKI LIVE JUNGLE 2024 Safari 7 & 8 at Yokohama

 
Here I am with my last LIVE JUNGLE report! Time sure flies fast. Sadly no news on when the next live will be but hopefully we won't have to wait long till we hear something.

NANA MIZUKI LIVE JUNGLE 2024 Safari 5 & 6 at Wakayama

My new live report style seems to be doing wonders to my writing speed as here I am again with new reports just a couple of days after the Wakayama concerts. Yay! Also sharing some pics from a Nana fan exhibit that was nearby on the second day.

NANA MIZUKI LIVE JUNGLE 2024 Safari 1 & 2 at Mie

 

Trying my best to streamline the live report process again by merging the two lives I attended at Mie into one report and will probably be doing the same for Wakayama and Yokohama later!

NANA MIZUKI LIVE HOME 2022 Road 10 at Aichi

Kept you waiting, huh? And here it is, my last LIVE HOME report! Sorry that I returned to my usual tardy self for this last one, even though I managed to pump out all the ones before it in a pretty timely manner.... work has just been really hectic for the past month or so and I had no energy to spare. ^^;; Anyways, hope you've been enjoying the journey with me, because what a ride it's been!

NANA MIZUKI LIVE HOME 2022 Road 09 at Aichi

Looks like I am back on my bullshit aka tardy with reports! Sorry about that! Been pretty busy with work the past few weeks so I had to put all of this in the backburner for a bit. But here I am with a report again and only one more to go after!

Sooooooo..... here's another concert I wasn't supposed to attend. ^^;; We were planning to just go to the final, but then the itch to go on the first Nagoya night as well grew and grew since we'd already be in town anyway... and yep, the rest is history. And with that I gained one more extra report to write lol. xD

Probably will be keeping this one kind of short since 99% of it is just a rinse and repeat of songs I've already written about in previous reports.

NANA MIZUKI LIVE HOME 2022 Road 06 at Saitama

Was kinda worried if I would be able to finish both Saitama reports before it was time for Nagoya.... and somehow I did! Go me! Though, I can't believe we are already nearing the end of LIVE HOME.... I do hope we get some news about the next live we can look forward to during this weekend's final and I hope even more that by that time Japan will have realized that letting people enter the country will be more beneficial to the economy than trying to force young folks to drink more alcohol... <.<;; 

Anyway, let's get on with the report!

NANA MIZUKI LIVE HOME 2022 Road 05 at Saitama

Back with the first of two Saitama reports! I thought I could dish this one out even a bit faster thanks to taking a couple of days off for Obon, but somehow I have been just very sleepy all the time. Hard to say if it's because of work or my body not being used to running to concerts almost every weekend anymore. In any case, I've had to take some time to recharge as well.

Anyways, onwards to the report!

NANA MIZUKI LIVE HOME 2022 Road 04 at Ibaraki

Congrats on conquering all 47 prefectures Nana!!

As I mentioned in my previous report, I didn't actually have plans to attend an Ibaraki live.... but here we are! I had to correct my oversight when I realized Ibaraki would mark the end of Nana's goal to have a live in all of Japan's 47 prefectures. Also fittingly for the LIVE HOME theme, we made a road trip out of it and it ended up actually being the first time we drove in Japan so far! It was a lot of fun! Again, since no live pics are available yet, I'll be seasoning the post with some random road trip pics for you to enjoy.

Also as part of my updated report style, I'm going to start color coding the songs that appeared for the first time in the rotation for each concert I attend this tour, so you'll know with a glance which parts of the report might be the most different from previous one I already wrote.

NANA MIZUKI LIVE HOME 2022 Road 01 at Hyogo

Starting my marathon of LIVE HOME reports with the very first one in Hyogo! I already mentioned this on my Twitter as well, but my heart goes out to all of you who still could not enter Japan to attend the tour due to the frustrating entry restrictions. I'm really sorry you could not be here even now to start healing from the past few years by filling your heart with the things you love again. I truly hope next time you will be able to be here once more. When the time comes I'd like to meet more of you and make plenty of fun memories together to make up for all bad times! Stay safe and keep taking care of yourself till then <3 

In the meanwhile, I'm doing my best to attend quite a few lives this tour, so you can at least have plenty of reports, if nothing else.

NANA MIZUKI LIVE RUNNER 2020→2022 Day 1

Feels weird to be writing a report again after 2 years of nothing... but here goes! I’m slightly changing up how I write my reports, and instead of going song by song I’ll group things section by section to lighten the writing load on myself a little bit (or so I thought, but since it's been so long since I got to go to a live, I ended up probably writing as much as usual xD) – let me know if you feel this style works or if you’d prefer something else!

Also, since I only attended Day 1 of LIVE RUNNER in person (and just watched Day 2 on the stream) I'll only be writing this one report.

NANA MIZUKI LIVE EXPRESS 2019 Delivery 09 at Iwate

Trying to really pick up the speed with my reports... and miraculously, I only have one left after this one! Gasp! .... can't even remember the last time I was this caught up. xD Is this really happening??

NANA MIZUKI LIVE GRACE 2019 -OPUS Ⅲ- Day 2

Trying to keep up the momentum here.... is this like the third report within a month I have been able to produce?? I still got a couple more to do in the backlog and another LIVE EXPRESS just popped up too... :3

NANA MIZUKI LIVE GRACE 2019 -OPUS Ⅲ- Day 1

Feels kinda weird bouncing back to the start of the year after dishing out one report of LIVE EXPRESS already, but at the same time it kind of refreshed me! Hopefully in the first time in a few years I might be able to clear my backlog....? The suspense!

NANA MIZUKI LIVE EXPRESS 2019 Delivery 05 at Kyoto

I'm making a bit of an exception to my usual report flow and skipping the ones in my backlog (don't worry, I will return to finish those! I promise!) to write about this one, as it feels appropriate to write about this now in the wake of the really horrible and sad incident at Kyoto Animation.

NANA MIZUKI LIVE THEATER 2015 -ACOUSTIC-, Night 2

Live Theater 2015 -Acoustic- Night 2, catch the sunnnn!

Soooooo, at least I got this out before the BD/DVD release. >.>; Been doing some overtime at work and consequently been quite tired, so yeah. I won't ramble on much more before getting to the report itself, just a few words about what to expect next.

Sadly, I was not able to attend the fan club event in April, as I had too much work to do so I can't be providing any reports about that. However, on the bright side, I will be heading to Japan this summer to attend a few LIVE ADVENTURE concerts,  so you can expect me to write about those! .... eventually. :3

NANA MIZUKI LIVE THEATER 2015 -ACOUSTIC-, Night 1

Live Theater 2015 -Acoustic- Night 1, touch and goooo!

Soooo... I ended up being very late with this as usual. It's because since there isn't that much to do in Finland I have taken up playing FFXIV:ARR again.... which somehow tends to lure me into its grasp more easily when I get home tired from work than writing in my blog does. xD At least I should be done with these before the bluray/DVD gets released, even if Nana is releasing it surprisingly early (in June already, yay!). But anyways, let's get on with the report....

NANA MIZUKI LIVE FLIGHT+ 2014, Air 15 at Singapore!

Air 15 at Singapore, Shuppaatsuuuu~!

So... I am so ridiculously late with this that even the BD/DVD has nearly come out. I am very sorry about this. But on the bright side, I managed to finish this in time for Xmas! ... If that's a bright side? Ehum, anyway... the reason for this horrible delay is that my life has been one busy mess for the past few months for various reasons. I will probably write a little informative entry about that some time soon. In any case, I am still around and writing. :3

Well, I won't blab on any longer... though I guess it's good to mention that this was my first time in Singapore ever. (^^;) Anyway, without further ado....

NANA MIZUKI LIVE FLIGHT 2014, Air 14 at Kanagawa!

Air 14 at Yokohama, Shuppaatsuuuu~!

So... I know I said I would dish this out much faster than my previous live report, but four weeks ago I hurt my hand really badly (by squashing it between a wall and a door in full swing)... which resulted in me not being able to type much for a couple of weeks without it hurting like crazy. Still hurts when my hand is squeezed. orz After that ordeal, I had graduation to deal with, and a certain trip to Singapore.. but in any case, without further ado - here's the Yokohama report! Look forward to the Singapore one soon (for realz)!

NANA MIZUKI LIVE FLIGHT 2014, Air 5 at Kitakyushu!

Air 5 at Kitakyushu, shuppaaaatsuuuu~!

So... I realize I am very very very very late with this report. In my defense, I had a final thesis presentation and final thesis hand-in to deal with July/early August so those things kinda sucked away all my time and energy... sucked away my whole life actually.... "orz I guess the effort was worth it though since I was one of the only few people who passed on first try without revisions! Go me! I am back now revitalized.... alive & kicking, to be more in Nana terms! Thus without further ado, here is the report for the fateful concert that brought Nana's bad laryngitis along. (>_<;) I will try to write about Yokohama asap too!

Two More LIVE FLIGHT Cancellations, Air 7 at Yamaguchi and Air 8 at Tottori

This coming weekend's concerts have now also been cancelled.

Nana's inflammation is more serious than initially thought (not just vocal cord inflammation, but also upper respiratory tract inflammation), and thus she has not been able to recover yet. While it is a shame that the amount of cancelled concerts has now tripled, I am very relieved to see her focusing on recovering properly before setting back onto the stage. If she went back to performing when still feeling below 100%, I am sure that would not have led to anything good. I just hope she won't blame herself too much for this, because all those sad feelings will only hinder her recovery.. It's not your fault Nana!! I am glad to see from her blog entries this week though, that she as a lot of people supporting her and helping her recover. And thus, hopefully by Yamagata she will feel like her old genki self again.
