East Asia Tour - April 2010
Moderator: Moderators
Sorry to make you confused I have 2 source btw. I haven't contact the blogger from the link that I gave you. hahah I can't figure out how to post comment. But I believe he/she's not sure whether it's Flynn on Stay With Me. However I found another Japanese fan who confirmed to me (through email and that was written in English) that it was Luke who sang the higher parts.lacrymosa2 wrote:Thank you. There is another blog which covered the first part of the concert: http://sorasidoremifaso.blog60.fc2.com/chix wrote:Cool!lacrymosa2 wrote: Thanks again chix! Do you mind sending me the link for the blog? I can help you get a better translation because I speak, read, and write Japanese.
First part: http://fromsky.exblog.jp/12457857/
Second part: http://fromsky.exblog.jp/12458477/
i got some of the details from an email though.
This blogger mentioned that Stefan and Alfie were doing Libera, but with Stefan doing the high notes. He or she also confirmed Ben's presence as a soloist in Sanctissima.
One thing I am suspicious about with the link you gave me was that the poster mentioned Ben doing the high notes of Sanctus, which does not seem to make sense. Also the same blogger from the link you provided said that Flynn did the high parts for Stay With Me, which conflicts with the information she gave you.
With that said, I believe the programme will be consistent with the Seoul concert and the two Manila concerts, so we will find out then.

Okay, thanks. I cannot get a consistent answer on the soloist for Ave Verum. The source I provided said Flynn, but the one you gave me mentioned Jakob. So I guess the best answer might probably be from you, provided you are going to the Manila concerts.chix wrote:Sorry to make you confused I have 2 source btw.

Maybe we should wait for the Korean fans as well. Libera will not perform all the songs they performed in Japan and Korea in Manila since it's only a promotional tour. Most songs they will be singing are from Peace.lacrymosa2 wrote:Okay, thanks. I cannot get a consistent answer on the soloist for Ave Verum.

Haha... Thanks for reading the Japanese blogs and providing us English information. I wrote here yesterday that this forum needs a resident Japanese translator. Didn't know that we always had you. Haha... And French translator, too. That makes 2 resident French translators, you and fan_de_LoK. Now all we need is a resident Korean translator!lacrymosa2 wrote:Sorry. I have other things to catch up on that's why, haha. I do read, write, and speak French as well.phlibera wrote:@lacrymosa2, you read and write Japanese? Where have you been all this time our nose were bleeding in trying to decipher Google's translations?

A little surprised that Matthew Rangel-Alvarez didn't sing the high parts for this...and that I don't see his name in the soloist list (although it's not yet complete). He blew me away last year when he did the high parts for Stay With Me. Still, it's exciting that this concert has so many new soloists. I'd love to hear mini James and Freddie's rendition of Love and Mercy. Those two are simply too cute.chix wrote:Yup, she said to me Luke sang Liam's part.lacrymosa2 wrote:Thanks. I am assuming that Luke did the high notes for "Stay With Me"?
Anyway, I hope Takatsugu Muramatsu does another collaboration with RP. The end results are always runaway winners.

Carina sometimes you have the uncanny knack of saying everything I was going to say lol - so I don't need to post anymore
Suffice to say, finally a little more detail is now coming in via the blogs, so thanks to everyone for sourcing them out, and of course to the owners for publishing them.
They haven't been able to do much sightseeing in Japan, basically a trip straight from the airport to Tokyo Tower seems to be the whole of it. I'm hoping - depending of when they travel to Manila - they will be able to enjoy some 'choral downtime' (probably not to the liking of Mr D Ross ) after their concert today in Korea.

East Asia (Japan & Korea) Tour
Hello,
I'm new to this forum, but I'd like to share my experience of Libera's amazing concert at Orchard Hall in Tokyo on both Apr. 8 and Apr.9.
Here's the set list and soloists:
A boy walked in to the center of the stage, stood alone and while he was singng 'Are you the door, are you the key ?', all other boys were on the stage and a boy (Stefan !) tured to us, the audience.
Then the concert started.
Part 1:
1. Adoramus (solo: Alfie)
2. Libera (solo: Stefan and Alfie)
Sammy talks about this spring tour.
3. Time (starting with Josh's solo, then Alex, Ralph, Jakob, Mathew and Ben joined.)
4. Sanctus (the last High note by Stefan.)
5. Sanctissima (solo: Ben)
6. Ave Verum (solo: Mathew, Clarinet by Steven G.)
7. Far Away (solo: Ben and Ralph, high note by Kavana, accompanied with RP's piano)
8. Salva Me (solo: Stefan)
Ben talks about their US tour on 2008.
9. Agnus Dei (started by Alex's solo, then Jakob, Daniel, Ralph joined. Steven plays Clarinet.)
10. Exultate (solo: Ben, duet: Stefan and Daniel, with Steven's Recorder)
intermission (15 or 20 minutes)
Part 2:
All boys appeared wearing black robes on their white robes.
1. Mysterium (solo: Stefan)
2. Orinoco Flow
While Freddie talks about their robes, other boys disapeared (for changing robes, I think.)
Then RP plays piano and all boys came back on the stage with thier white robes.
3. The Fountain (solo: Ralph)
4. How can I keep from singing ? (solo: Sammy)
5. When a knight (started with Steven's Pipe. solo: Ralph)
6. Love and Mercy (duet: Freddie and mini-James)
Josh's talk about his changing voice and introducing next song.
7. Secret (solo: Ben)
8. Stay with me (duet: Daniel and Ralph, high note: Mathew)
9. Deep Peace (solo: Stefan, James T)
Cassius introduce the last song and saying good night.
10. How shall I sing that majesty
(solo: Jakob, Stefan)
Encore: Libera
I'm not good at English, so there will be many misspellings or expressions.
And I described all the details of the concerts as far as I could remember.
If the above are wrong on some points, I'll correct later.
Anyway, I enjoyed Libera's amazing performance!

this is a nice and detailed review, thank you for sharing your experience. I'm just curious about the black robes on the white robes, and how Exsultate and The Fountain sounded live. would be great to release a dvd of this tour.

Thanks Yayoi! - finally the peices in the jigsaw are coming together. Agree with fan_de_LoK I would love to hear Stefan on Mysterium, and the two mini boys version of Love and Mercy.
@yayoi310 Welcome to the forum. Thank you so much for this information. We have been looking for this since after the first concert last Thursday.
This lineup... What a difference six months make! It's a bittersweet reading all the new names and missing all the old ones. All the best to the members whom this is their last tour.
