Myu and Rena at Tsubasa Presents “Stairway to the Dream” Stage 7

May 30, 2010
Don Hill’s 511 Greenwich St. New York, NY

My friend, Myu always put up a awesome performance! すごい!!! This time with her new partner, Rena at Don’s Hill. It was more a upbeat,  jazz dance with a funny comical taste than her usual Contemporary Jazz dance with her other Partner Yu. I think it was the best performance of the night. Everyone else was more Hardcore JRock and another comedy skit that was funny as well.

I was so excited to go finally go to Utada Hikaru’s concert! Utada is one of my favorite music artist. She was born in NY  and considered to be  the Diva of Japan, but really shes just a down to earth dorky girl with talent. I bought my ticket the first week online when they were announced. The line was like 4 streets long around the block and it took an hour just to get in. I went alone but I got to talked to other Utada fans. They were from Tokyo, Japan and is going to school at NYU. Not many Japanese but a lot of Asians.

I heard she was feeling sick that week but that did not stop her from doing a awesome performance! Her songs were way better to hear live than from the CDs! She sang songs in both English and Japanese, some song were remixed, which was what I was hoping for. Unfortunately, security was tight and my camera got confiscated, therefore I only manage to get what I could with my sucky blackberry. Overall the concert was satisfying but the venue is too small, stage wasn’t high enough to see over the heads of tall people, and was too crowded. I was glad to be in the back, I need my dance space…. lol!

Come see Reni Mimura perform at her next shows!
