Once Upon A Time with AIR
It was May 4th that I attended to see AIR at Riviera Theatre. It’s the show that everybody expect to be fantastic. And it is.
Back when I was teen, AIR is like my sleeping pill and I can’t resist to avoid them. But this was my another delusion :-*. I don’t know what changed maybe because I never really pay attention to their music. It’s been changed after listen to Talkie Walkie. Until today I don’t know why I suddenly decided to listen to this album. I was at the music store and recognized this album and decided to pick it up. Whatever reason, I’m so glad about this.
AIR started with Radian from 10000 Hz Legend and Venus from Talkie Walkie. Before start the first song from their latest album Pocket Symphony, Once Upon A Time then Napalm Love. This album is okay but it does lack something to keep it stay in your head. I feels like it is scattered since each song seems to go in separate way.
My emotion kept going until Cherry Blossom Girl appeared herself in pure white ballet dress under beautiful light and terrific tune. After she nodded, she started dancing en pointe through the song end before disappear without a word. But I do.
Tell me why can’t it be true.
Look like my peak feeling came too soon. Or because I locked myself up somewhere. Several songs passed by, Run, Remember, Mer du Japon until Highschool Lover, an wonderful song from Playground Love. Soon stop the show with Kelly Watch The Stars from their first and best album Moon Safari.
Before long, the encore start with Alone in Kyoto and one of their most recognizable song, Sexy Boy. Then end up beautifully with La Femme d’Argent.
A little sad that they didn’t play Surfing on a Rocket, Universal Traveller or Ce Matin-La. But this was a great show anyway.
Here is the set list:
- Radian
- Venus
- Once Upon A Time
- Napalm Love
- Talisman
- Cherry Blossom Girl
- Run
- Remember
- People In The City

So envy!
As you talked about Walkie Talkie. I reckon it is the best one from their 4 albums which I have listened to.
Because of that album, I am interested in them as well.

อู…
ลุค air เค้าออกไปในแนว 70 เนอะ คุณ s65,
(สาวๆ ไม่ติดเกรียวเหรอเนี่ย?)
(รู้สึกหลังๆ คนอ่านอย่างเราก็หมกหมุ่นกับรูปเนอะ, ฮา)
แสดงว่าคอนเสิร์ตแบบนี้ก็ต้องมีนักร้องหญิงมาร้องเพลงด้วยหรือเปล่า?

cotton:
- หลังๆพบว่า Moon Safari เค้าเยี่ยมจริงๆนะ
ฟา-ระ-เดย์: (ใครเนี่ย ?)
- วงเปิดคือ Kate Havnevik อันมีท่าร้องที่ติดตา (เธอร้องปากกว้างมาก…)
ส่วนสาวติดเกรียวรึเปล่านี่ก็ไม่ค่อยแน่ใจ แต่หนุ่มๆคงมีไม่น้อย…
Insomniac:
- ได้บัตรมาแล้ว แต่ยังไม่แน่ใจเหมือนกันว่าจะได้ดูมั้ย เฮ้อ…
