ASKA Symphonic Concert Tour 2008 "Scene"

I attended Aska's concert at the Esplande on last Saturday, 26 April.

Aska did a collaboration with the Singapore Symphonic Orchestra for this solo concert in Singapore. It was the first time I attended a orchestra concert. Kind of feel like Nodame when I saw the orchestra setting.

As usual, Aska did not speak much during the concert. He spoke in English, Japanese and slight Chinese. Aska's singing is good and blend well with the orchestra. The songs were slow and sentimental. I kind of feel like dozing half at the middle of the concert.

It has been 12 years since I have attended Chage and Aska's concert. I feel that Aska has not changed too much, physcially. He said his songs are not popular in Singapore and his songs are not in the main stream. He's such a frank person. Although the concerts were not sold out, judging from the audience response and the sales, Aska's still has his supporters.

I am glad that I get to attend his concert. Wonder when will he be coming to Singapore to perform again. Another 12 years from now?
