Will update the setlist as soon as I know more about the solo songs. But damn, so many up-beat Kala-covers. They must have had a blast. Wish I had been there for it. Apparently, Lino did a very good job at singing Wakana's parts in ryb and Ongaku. People were very impressed.
KEIKO LIVE in the DARK -Sagittarius- K019〜K020
Following Keiko's first Planetarium Live back in December 2023, she is planning to hold her second Planetarium Event in July, titled 『KEIKO LIVE in the DARK -Sagittarius- K019〜K020』. As the title suggests, this live will be a unique performance in which the audience can enjoy live music in complete darkness while watching a planetarium projection. Keiko will once again be accompanied by her guitarist Yas Nakajima to allow for a very simple arrangement that will highlight Keiko's singing and the beautiful starry sky.
※Please note, the production and venue of this planetarium live are different from 『KEIKO Planetarium Live ~Starry Night~』
※Please take into account that the venue is very dark so there will be many instances in which the audience will not be able to see the stage/artist.

*sobs* Yet another event in July. This is killing me. Wish I could be there the entire month. This is more than three weeks after Hikaru's birthday live on July 2 so there's no way I can go to both. And then there's also Wakana's summer festival live which is smack in the middle (=>July 13; no idea tho how heavily she will be featured but I'd obviously have to attend if I decided to fly to Japan in July)....*sighs* I don't see how I could make all of this work.
