47 Todofuken Tour at Suntoryhall 2023 [w/ CD, Limited Edition]

[Machine Translation] Starting with a performance in Kagawa on October 1, 2022, the second 47-prefecture tour was held over a six-month period. The live video recording of the performance held at Tokyo Suntory Hall on March 19, just before the final day of the tour, is now being released. The tour, which toured all prefectures, was also held in 2020, the year of the Corona disaster, as "Meikyoku Takuhaibin" (Special Time with Piano), visiting all over Japan under difficult circumstances with infection control measures, and was able to bring temporary comfort and joy to many people. The second tour, which began in 2022, was welcomed with great acclaim and all shows were SOLD OUT. The 70,000 people who attended the additional concerts were a milestone for a classical pianist of this caliber. Although Kiyotsuka is known for his light-hearted talk and relaxed concerts, his approach to music is sincere. The audience, who were laughing hysterically, were instantly drawn into the world of the piano, and after the concert, they left with warm feelings. The program from the Tokyo concert held at Suntory Hall includes a classical medley featuring Beethoven, Chopin, and Gershwin, a free-form suite based on the themes of the four seasons, a Disney medley represented by Alan Menken, and many of his original compositions. The concert was a great success, and the audience was thrilled to be able to experience the excitement of the concert once again. This is the perfect concert for those who want to experience the excitement of the concert once more, or for those who want to experience the excitement of the piano for the first time, and can fully enjoy Nobuya Kiyotsuka's live performance at home. The first CD includes "Serendipity," which was written as the official music for the 10th anniversary of Marunouchi KITTE in Tokyo. The title of the song means "chance encounter" and expresses the importance of encounters that enrich one's life. The 47-prefecture tour took the band to various locations twice, including some difficult times. The song has a meaning and message that is connected to the concept of sticking to Japan.
