A Dream come True @Hiroshima


As soon as the super bass sound electrified shivers across my whole body, I could no longer figure whether this dream-come-true was real or not.

I was quite privileged to be able to join Perfume on their JPN Tour in Hiroshima (their hometown). In the Hiroshima Green Arena on March 31st, 2012, I experienced for the first time the true joy of realizing that a dream, a wish has been fulfilled, enhancing my admiration for not only Perfume, but also for life. From the stage works such as the lasers, the lighting to the friendly, supportive atmosphere fermented by the fans, the concert itself speaks of many slogans: highly technologically advanced,  intensely choreographed dances, casual and lighthearted MC's, the often heard "kawaii" remarks, and most of all heartwarming and touching.  The appreciation that the three constantly displayed throughout the concert constantly reminded me of how even after quite a few years of success, they still managed to uphold a sincere attitude, motivating me to someday reach that stage.

The moment I heard the split seconds of the effervescent instrumental intro of  Dream Fighter for their first encore, tears of disbelief and gratitude flooded the corners of my eyes; the song that intrigued me into them, and the song's lyrics that I respond strongly to were finally to be performed in front of my flesh, live instead of through a screen. Feeling as if I were in a virtual world, witnessing a virtual event, the salty water droplets proved my experience to be authentic.  These couple drops of tears, like that of any others physically, marked a change in my history. I say, I was thoroughly touched. Thank you, Perfume.

That night as I crawled into the hotel bed, I thanked the world not for what it gave, but for what it was.
