, united by the sound of the acoustic.
By 7:00 p.m., it is dark. The air becomes much colder. But no matter how cold it gets at Suigen no Mori Camp Land, there is a place to escape to. That place is the clubhouse. A fire is always raging in the large, spatula-shaped fire pit, filling the house with a soft warmth. There, Yackman began his live performance, the closing act for this event.
Yackman is the director of "DOWN ON THE CORNER" and an old friend of Mr. Kobayashi's .
Mr. Kobayashi asked me to do something for him. I asked him what he was going to do, and he said, "Just a guitar, right? (laugh). (Laughs.) You know, these days, people don't get a chance to hear live music very often. Tonight, I would like to thank Mr. Kobayashi for giving us this opportunity.
The number of people allowed in the clubhouse is barely 50. This naturally creates a sense of togetherness and a sense that everyone is sharing the space. This is what Mr. Kobayashi means when he says, "Keep it within your means.
After the concert, we asked Yackman and Kobayashi for their impressions of the event.
What did you think of the event?
Kobayashi:First of all, I'm glad we finished without any accidents, and since I was very satisfied with the show, I'm sure the audience was too. So far tonight, it's been so far so good. Also, I'm glad I asked Yack, who is a good sounding fellow, to perform live for the first time at A.M.C. I'm glad I did. The sound of the clubhouse was great, too.
. There was a great sense of togetherness.
Yack:That's right. The setting was perfect. The food was perfect.
Kobayashi:Also, I still think the scale was great. It just so happened. The all-camp-in style is also nice. Just the fact that we were all staying at the same place that night should have made all the difference. You were a little nervous because it was completely unplugged, but I'm glad we did it the way we did it today, wasn't I? (Laughs)
Yack:It was great that I was asked to play only acoustic guitar, but I was actually quite busy this week, so I hurriedly worked out the set list the day before the event to get ready for today (laughs).
Kobayashi:（. lol.) After all, I was very happy that they included my favorite waists in the setlist! It was a good one. Thanks a lot.
. I was impressed by the fact that some people fell asleep because they felt so comfortable.
Kobayashi:That's good too. If it feels good, you'll fall asleep.
Yack:I think the Corona incident may have made me less immune to hearing live sound at a concert (laughs). (Laughs) Actually, it was very pleasant for me too.
. There really was a pleasant atmosphere prevailing from start to finish.
Yack:. I'm glad. I was a little worried .
Kobayashi:I told you .
