EWF Japan Tour 2012 

The day before yesterday, I felt like dreaming in the wild space  · · ·
I have not seen fit to work, in my head , music of EWF were ringing loud.


It was the day that EWF concert was in kokusai Forum in Tokyo.I can never miss that kind of chance to enjoy the music!


Mail has arrived to the mobile from my friend Kim , great fan of EWF the day before yesterday.

To summarize the content, something like this.She could not join the concert of EWF,
but she say three people to exercise the rest of  special privileges!
What a thing.


A wonderful gift was backstage pass of EWF!
Enter the hall.Boogie wonderland had played suddenly immediately after the Introduction!


'All standing from the beginning!
It was so amazing
!Have never heard insert the rhythm of techno   impression.
So Brririant performance full of new arrangement & sound!

To set the above list does not have much confidence.What is it about like this ·
"Somebody Screem!"


Favorite phrase of Pjilip Bailey/
After being shouted several times,  plunged into  long slow time period!
"Love"s Holiday"

 B David Withworth took a vocal that I listend for the first time,

Originally   Maurice White sung ,of course this song,But the time aroud 2000,Robret Brookins always perfomed this song,


Unfortunately he passed away, I loved Love's Holiday with his husky voice !
I remenber his voice at this time.


Show a slow time, such as "Devotion" "After The Love Has Gone" was quite long but a translation ·of our thought.

What band does one of the few in the world that can liven up the audience with a slow time like this?

This supreme hour.Not it end up even if there is a quiet live like this?
It was full of satisfaction and convinced me that if there were.EWF end this time strategy  with the up-tempo songs


"September" and "Let's Groove" is the intensity of the reaction of venue  · · ·
It was fresh in the Amazing live anyway!David will I move around I was so tireless as ever.


I Really Love Earth, Wind & Fire!

I nevrer thought that  a miracle would not happen twice already, we did not even want.


We could get into back stage last time in the kindness of  Kim !


It came  true face of excitement, of goose bumps, a shock, excitement with  EWF members,
I really thank  Kim!



EWF back stage for the second time ,
EWF members  already have been talking with guests .


The number of crazy fans like us mere cormorant and clearly less than two years ago and though.
Members of the band and that they have my favorite spots in the world around me!


In the room ,There were  members of EWF · · ·
In addition to the guest but the number of people that is was not just like us, 

clearly less than the previous.


First I talked  to Mr. McKinley, and I got his autograph.
I couldn't talk with Mr. John Paris at the last time.


"Mr.Paris!"


"Oh, Do you know me?"


"Ofcourse!"


I did not expect that he was so friendly








I taked to B David Whitworth.
This time I showed  the album "Have Fun" of 14 carat soul he was enrolled before!
I wanted him to write his name on that jaket!



His countenance was changed after a little talk with David!
David began to show  that CD to other members of EWF !
I heard later from David, the other members did know " 14 karat Soul "but ,to witness the first time itself is with a CD ·Settled at the conversation back to under David,
