as real gods. I’m leaving UNISONIC at this point
for now, and will continue on with more later on
with their concert review. cultures. When you talk about your favorite music,
you speak the same language and you almost
don’t see any differences.
You could feel everybody was more relaxed and
satisfied after the first show. The stress and
doubts were gone. Everything worked out in the
best possible way for the bands as well as for the
audience. It would be a real pity to be in Tokyo
and come back without a couple of night shots.
The GOTTHARD guys were in a great mood and we
all went to the Hard Rock Cafe. On the way there,
we did a small photo session around town and
after we all enjoyed the time in Rock Cafe in a very
relaxing atmosphere. You could notice a couple of
faces from the audience, those die-hard fans who
decided to follow the bands throughout the whole
tour and who became our friends in a very short
time as well. Music is always the biggest tool for
connecting people of different nationalities and The plans for the last day in Tokyo are to do a photo
session, then to follow the band for soundcheck
and to enjoy the show. We met around 4:30 p.m.
The place is called Meiji Shrine and it’s located
in Shibuya, Tokyo, very close to the venue. Meiji Shrine
is the Shinto shrine, dedicated to the deified spirits
of Emperor Meiji and his wife Empress Shöken. We
have to respect the rules of Japanese culture which
are a bit different for us Europeans. It’s not possible
to take photos everywhere we wish and we’re also
told not to get so close to some objects. Anyway,
it’s possible to do some very interesting shots even
if there are a lot of tourists everywhere.
There’s no party tonight because the trip to Osaka
is planned for early in the morning.
