Keyakizaka46 Nagasaki festival report

Keyakizaka46 played the Huis ten Bosch outdoor music festival on Saturday in Nagasaki.

They did a 25-minute set including Yamanote Sen, Silent Majority, a new overture film, and Te wo Tsunaide Kaerou ka. Comments on 2channel said the group did well in this "away" appearance.

Then a group of them came back on stage for a talk session with former AKB48 star Takahashi Minami, who acted as MC.

In this photo of the finale of Te wo Tsunaide, you can see in the back row the blue Hiragana Keyaki uniform worn by Nagahama Neru. She was subbing for Nagasawa Nanako, who had to stay home because of school.


In her comments for wake-up television, Kobayashi Yui said that this is the first time they've performed outdoors, and it was really exciting. I had a video from the TV show, but it has been taken down from YouTube.


In their blogs, various members commented on how wonderful it was to stand up there on stage with a view of the ocean beyond the crowd:



In the talk part of the program, Neru, who is from Nagasaki said: "To perform here as part of Keyakizaka is marvelous and strange, and makes me very happy. I've been coming to Huis ten Bosch since I was little." She apparently recommended a part of the big theme park that is currently closed, as local fans posted with a laugh.

One of the most reposted photos of the event was posted on both Yui-chans' blogs, as they fight over a towel to wipe off the sweat after the performance in full uniform on a very hot day:


Can it be true that Zuumin, whose hands are so weak that she can't open plastic soda bottles, could have won? No, there must have been enough towels to go around.


The members flew back the same day, after having grabbed a bite of Nagasaki food (champon):


From Wikipedia: "Champon is made by frying pork, seafood and vegetables with lard; a soup made with chicken and pig bones is then added. Ramen noodles made especially for champon are added and then boiled. Unlike other ramen dishes, only one pan is needed as the noodles are boiled in the soup."
