【連載】BAND-MAID、2万人動員全米ツアーレポート／week2

10月22日（土）HOUSTON, TX　HOUSE OF BLUES

＜BAND-MAID US TOUR 2022＞公演7日目。ツアーもいよいよ後半戦へ突入。テキサス州・ヒューストンでの初公演となったこの日は、チリ、コロンビアなど中南米の周辺国からもご主人様・お嬢様が駆けつける大盛況の一日に。


ダラスと同様ステージが高い会場のため、観客の頭上から放つ激しい演奏に合わせて、観客も前のめりに拳を突き上げる。毎公演披露していた小鳩ミク、KANAMI、MISA、AKANEによるインストゥルメンタル曲だが、この日は「onset」「from now on」と立て続けに2曲披露。ハードロックの本場アメリカにおいて演奏力がなければ沸かせることのできないインスト曲で、観客を熱狂の渦に巻き込んでいく。


SAIKIの本日のお言葉「知らんけど」では、KANAMIによる英語の解説を織り交ぜながら、2人の和気あいあいとしたMCで会場を和ませる。激しい演奏とほっこりしたMCのギャップで会場のハートをがっちり掴んだこの日は、2階席まで総立ちのスタンディングオベーションで幕を終えた。
