Live Performance Breaks Language Barrier
MISIA’s Asian tour, Hong Kong Concert Report
On Saturday October 4 over 7000 fans packed the Asia World-Expo Arena to see MISIA’s first ever Hong Kong concert. MISIA got her break in Hong Kong on the back of her song “Everything”, which is the theme song of the TV drama “Yamato Nadeshiko”, starring Nanako Matsushima and Shinichi Tsutsumi. And because of this drama the fans have been waiting for her to come for eight years. As this was a first for MISIA, the venue was totally enveloped in tense anticipation.

Nevertheless, as MISIA put her voice into action, the feeling in the venue started to change. When she sang “Yes Forever” in a cappella the sighs could be heard. Next was “It’s just Love” which brought applause from the crowd, but to everyone’s surprise she sang the last verse in Chinese, bringing a warm feeling to the audience. The timing was just right for her to bring out “Everything”, and the intro music hit. This was it, time for MISIA to get into top gear and put the audience in the palm of her hand.

And he encore “Into the Light” was something else. MISIA used her whole body, from tip to toe to express herself – giving it her all.

“Hi. Do you mind if I take your photo for asianbeat?”
I took a few snaps at the Hong Kong venue of MISIA’s concert.
