上海時事】日本の若い世代に人気の女性シンガーソングライター、ＹＵＩさんが２４日、中国・上海市の繁華街で街頭フリーライブを行った。警備が厳しい中国で、日本人歌手が街頭ライブを行うのは異例。
Young popular Japanese female singer-songwriter YUI performed live on the streets of Shanghai, China on the 24th Sep (actual street name = 繁華街). For a tight security country like China, to have a Japanese singer performing live on the streets is rare.
流行の最先端地区「新天地」でのライブは予告のほとんどないゲリラ開催となったが、多くの中国人の若者が足を止め、ＹＵＩさんがギターの弾き語りで歌う４曲に聞き入った。
The live performance was conducted within the trendy area called Xin Tian Di “新天地” (a popular area that has a romanticised atmosphere of old Shanghai, mainly attracting foreigners) and despite the lack of any prior publicity, numerous young Chinese stopped to listen to YUI as she sang a total of four songs on her guitar.
ＹＵＩさんは続いて繁華街「静安寺」のデパート「久光百貨店」の広場の特設ステージでも演奏。警備員が配置される中、１５００人以上のファンらが集まった。
Next, YUI continued to Jiu Guang department store just off Jing’an Temple Station for a performance on the special stage at the square. In between the guards assigned, more than 1500 fans gathered at the performance.
Female office workers in Shanghai said that they “like YUI’s style”. For the purpose of introducing Japanese music and culture, on 25th Sep, YUI will also attend the “Shanghai Japan Week” held at the Shanghai International Studies University.
