Tokyo Opera City (1) 🎶✨

I bought the tickets a day in advance. Purchased online and picked them up at 7-Eleven (just show the code to the clerk to get it scanned). 🎢🍃 I got an S seat for only 10,000 yen and was seated in the third row. 🌸Before heading there, I just rewatched the scene from Nodame Cantabile where Senpai Chiaki had just become the conductor of the S orchestra. It was the part where they were starting to work together. 🎢🍃 Mickey pointed out that he should respect each member and not be arrogant. 🌸Watching the concert while immersing myself in my favorite storyline was truly delightful! Michel Plasson was like Mickey. His fingers conducted with such casual grace, moving around effortlessly while smiling like a child. 🎢🍃 (Though, at ninety years old, he was a bit shaky at the end of each performance.) 🌸The male and female concertmasters played the roles of Chiaki and Kiyoko. During their solos, they exchanged glances with the maestro, communicating rhythm and trust through their eyes. 🎢🍃 The triangle player was like Noda, standing ready in the back, and the clear ringing sound when he stood up and raised his hand was simply enchanting. 🌸The violin's lament was so expressive, and the choir's singing was woven so delicately, with a special kind of restraint and softness. It gently caressed my cerebral cortex. Just closing my eyes for a moment, I felt like I was walking on clouds, ready to drift off to sleep. 🎢🍃 How blissful it is to doze off in such beautiful sounds! 😌 #Tokyo #OperaCity #ConcertExperience 🌇
