Once the concert set list was announced, there were questions as to who would provide the vocals to this and that song. The only 3 guests announced were Maaya Sakamoto, Mai Yamane, and Origa, but there were songs such as Call Me Call Me from Cowboy Bebop that was originally sang by Steve Conte, who is not in the guest vocalist list.
Here’s a rundown of the vocal songs and their performers
- Torukia (Turkey) - Mai, Maaya, Origa (originally by Gabriela Robin, Ilaria Graziano, and the Warsaw Chorus)
- Inner Universe - Origa
- Rise - Origa
- Don’t Bother None - Mai
- Call Me Call Me - Mai (originally by Steve Conte)
- Player - Origa
- Kuuki to Hoshi and Hikari no Naka E - Maaya
- The Real Folk Blues - Mai
- ELM - Mai, Origa (originally by Pierre Bensusan)
- Intro Theme- Yoon Hyeon Soo (originally by ???)
- Yoru_Vo - Origa (originally by Ilaria Graziano)
- Blue - Mai
- Yubiwa - Maaya, Mai, Origa (Originally by Maaya Sakamoto only)
- Yakusoku wa Iranai - Maaya, Mai, Origa (Originally by Maaya Sakamoto only)
- Hodo - Maaya, Mai, Origa (originally by ???)
I’m anxious to hear how it turned out, especially all the parts where Origa sings. I thought for a while that Maaya would sing Yoru_Vo, but Origa performed it and now I’m doubly excited to hear it. She just adds a certain mystic feel to anything she sings.
I wonder how Mai Yamane fared with singing the Gabriela songs. (more…)
