how to watch a performance in Billboard Live Osaka

  • stumble yourself around like a child getting lost - someone would come to you and guide you to your seat
  • pretend to understand what the waiter is saying about the payment (just maybe, he said something about paying at the register or using QR code with your credit card???)
  • make the waiter hesitate a bit by your lack of response and wait for him to leave you
  • quickly go through the menu before another waiter/waitress come to take your order
  • enjoy the vain superiority of your A2-4 seat
  • the fine dining-ish atmosphere makes you tense but at least Shimotsuki Haruka isn't here to tell you to interact with each other
  • CRAP CRAP CRAP your throat is acting up again and is about to push out another coughing fit. you sip the non-alcohol ENcore (the collab drink) but not too much because you want to take another picture of it with the food
  • speaking of which, the food sure takes a long time - oh here it is along with the payment QR code
  • the percussionist, the pianist, the violinist, and the main guest of the night, Yanagi Nagi, arrives and grace the audience of the hall with her presence
  • oops, it's now a bit dark to take a picture of your food and drink but you took it anyway
  • you listened to the performance, and realize that in terms of music, there is no way to see the end of its possibilities
  • seeing Yanagi Nagi singing and playing guitar by herself makes you picture yourself playing one and wondering if it would make it easier to write songs with it instead of piano
  • the performance ended, and the audience claps rhythmically, and a few minutes the ensemble came back, with Yanagi Nagi thanking the audience for the encore of ENcoreĀ 
  • the last song was corleonis, which she wrote with her circle mate in the past
  • the performance ended and so is your Pescatore-style risotto - it was okay
  • as you put the red receipt holder into the collection box near the exit, you wonder why they don't check whether customers actually paid for their food or not as they leave

The waitress took the menu and the picture of the collab drink after I ordered, so this is the photo of the ones set for the seat besides me
