山ちゃんの初ツアー
Welcome to ケビン's English Room Podcast.
Hello. Hello. How's it going?
Good. Good? Good as usual.
Okay. Yeah. That's good. Yeah, as usual is good. Good as usual. I'm a little bit nervous
because my concert is getting closer. Oh shit. What is your concert?
It's... you mean when? Yeah. It's this
Saturday. Oh shit. Yes. I was not aware of that. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Congrats on the... I didn't tell that. Yeah.
This Saturday? Yeah, this Saturday. This is gonna be my first... Oh shit. First Japanese
tour.
Well...
Where are you touring? What are you...
You're going on a tour? Yeah. Oh shit. I'm going on a tour, but
just two cities though. Oh, it's okay. I mean...
It's not something like you go, you know, Aomori, Iwate from Sapporo and then Nagoya, Aichi. No, not like that.
Well, I mean, how many... you find a random guy in Tokyo, what are the chances of them going on a tour in the first place
anyways, right? Yeah, of course.
That's awesome, right? Yeah, I mean, thank you. Yeah, of course. Which cities are you going? Kyoto. Okay. And Tokyo. Oh, awesome. That's it.
That's awesome, man. It's just I'm going back, you know. Oh, that's true.
It feels to me...
It feels to me like if I go three places, like three cities, then I feel like I can officially say this is
Tsuda. I see, I see.
It's two cities. So it's like I just do two lives. Oh, well, I get what you're saying.
Yeah, yeah. Three makes more like, you know, sounds like in a row, like you're doing concerts in a row, you're like out there.
Yeah, but still though, right? Still, still. Well, why didn't you make it three?
Well, it's just my first step. Oh, I see, I see. Didn't want to go too far. Yeah, you know, just go within your reach.
Right, right, right, right, right. Just add, you know, Tokyo is my, it's like the, you know, the capital.
Yeah, that's right. Sure, sure. You know, I wanted to add something. And Kyoto is the place I was, you know, working at.
Yeah, you were working in Kyoto, yeah. And that's where I decided to, you know, do my music, so I kind of returned to the Kyoto.
I see. Do you think it's going to be a difficult decision you're going to have to make later on in your life when you're going to go for more touring and you have to choose places? And be like, people are going to be like, why would you go to Kyoto now?
Not Osaka? Or like, why Nagasaki, but not here? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You think it's a difficult choice for all these artists? Yeah, it is, it is. I already get some comments that, like, why, why Kyoto? Why not Osaka?
Yeah, like many Osaka people ask me, like, why not Osaka? It's good that you have a reason, right? Like, you used to work there. Like, that's a, that's my history. That's a valid sort of like a reason to choose Kyoto.
To go back to my, you know, the place where I was in. And it's like my, you know, going back, like getting back my hometown, kind of. Yeah, right. That's right. That's right. I can explain. It's easier. Right, right, right.
But, you know, recently, like, mostly, if you do those kind of tour, it's like whether three cities or like five cities, and then next, like, eight, ten cities, it's like a, it's like a step.
Okay. You got a basics. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So, the first, like, three cities, Tokyo and Osaka and Nagoya. That's called Toumeihan tour. Okay, okay, okay. That's the basics. The basic three, gotcha. Yeah. Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya. Nagoya, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the second was Tokyo and Toumeihan plus Sapporo, Fukuoka. That's five big cities. Yeah, that's, I get it. Yeah. I get it. Yeah. Then after that, you go, like, maybe Iwate. You know, you add some, you know, cities. Right, right, right, right. Yeah.
But recently, it's called Nagoya Hazushi. Okay. I don't know why. Okay. But I think it's, Nagoya is kind of close to Osaka. Sure. Yeah. Right. It's kind of, I get it. Yeah, like, the classic three cities tour was Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka. Okay. But now, recently, some artists tend to avoid, skip Nagoya and add Fukuoka. That makes sense.
都市間の距離と特徴
I mean, like, if I were to choose the three, yeah, I would do Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, rather than, right, same reason, like, Nagoya seems too close. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, if I were in Nagoya, I could, you know, just spend that little extra money with the Shinkansen, go to Osaka, you know, Osaka, you can go to Tokyo as well. It's not that bad, right? For Fukuoka people, I mean, them having to go to Osaka, much more distance, right? So, yeah.
Oh, Fukuoka seems kind of fair to me. Right? Yeah. I get it. So, that's what, that's what's happening now. What's happening recently? Oh, I see. It's like a trend. Yeah, it's like a trend. But Nagoya people are like, not happy. They're not happy? Oh. Well, what's the population? Which is bigger, Nagoya or Fukuoka?
Population, I think Nagoya is bigger. Okay. And also, in like, hantai ni, how do you say hantai ni? Hantai ni? Yeah. What do you mean? Like, Nagoya people can go to Osaka or Tokyo. But also, like, Tokyo people can go to Nagoya. Oh, like, vice versa? Vice versa. Yeah. Osaka people can go to Nagoya. So, it's rather easy, like, easier than maybe, like, bring people from Tokyo to Fukuoka.
That's far. So, easier for fans to go to Nagoya. So, for, like, artists, it's more, you know, easier to, you know, get a crowd than Fukuoka, Nagoya than Fukuoka. Yeah.
So, for artists, for attraction, Nagoya is better. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I see. I see. Yeah. But, you know, Fukuoka has food. Fukuoka's great. You know, many good things. Yeah. Like, night entertainment. That's right. Food, views. That's absolutely right. Yeah.
Oh, Fukuoka has that, too, but... Not really. We gotta cut that out, guys. We gotta cut that out. Nagoya's great. Nagoya's great. Nagoya's great. But Fukuoka is... But Fukuoka's great, too. Right, too. Yeah.
And also, the thing about Sapporo. Sapporo's great. That's great, too. It's great. Sapporo's great. So... Yeah. Yeah. I mean, like, personally, right? Going there personally, which is, like, better, right? Yeah. Which is more fun, right? Yeah. I would not choose Nagoya. If I had, like, the option of going to Fukuoka or Sapporo. Okay. You choose, like, Fukuoka or Sapporo, right? Yeah, either one of those.
Like, if the three was a line in front of me, like, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Sapporo. Yeah. Nagoya's the first one to, like... It's out. Okay. Nagoya's great, though. Nagoya's great. I've been to Nagoya. It's great. Yes. Great city. Like, I can imagine myself living in Nagoya. Very practical. Yeah. Very practical city, you know? Big city. Convenient. It's got everything. You know, and it's got everything. You can access everything. The rent isn't as high.
That's, like, awesome. Yeah. It's really awesome. I really can imagine myself living there. No, I can't. We're not going to choose. First one to go out of the list. Yeah. Yeah. So... Yeah. It's difficult to choose the places that you go. And you have to think about the traffic fees, you know? If you go to Sapporo, then you have to pay flight fees for all the bands. For all the bands! Yeah. That's right. Yeah.
Yeah, that's right. You're right. Yeah, that's right. So you have to
Make money. Mm-hmm on
Bottles life. That's true. That's true. Yeah, that's true. And
I
did two lives concert and I
Now I know all the you know budget things. Yeah and inside. Yeah, and I didn't know
like
live concert didn't
like
Make money. That's gotta be a lie. I mean, honestly, that's gotta be a lie man
I did um, maybe if you're talking like a huge ones like Tokyo Dome. Yeah, or like
Big ones. Yeah, maybe they make money maybe okay, but
my
For example like
Like like a live house or something. Yeah, my house like
Even like red people. I think that just in the same category as what as Tokyo Dome. No, no
Rather like a smaller. Yeah. Yeah, it's really really not really making money. I really yeah
Okay, what's the biggest like?
biggest um, so I think
Maybe like physical CDs physical CD or like merchandisers. Oh, what's the biggest like?
Kiki what's the biggest?
So expense fees for the band members, okay
山ちゃんのツアー準備
Jim, can he Jim can he and staffs didn't can he yes and the place fee?
Yeah, that's the like the biggest burden. Yeah, okay, and
And
Yeah, basically jinky he's the most biggest ones I see yeah, not only like band members but like
You know stuff sons. There are stuff sons, you know tough sons that the concert hall hires
Yes, and they make you pay it. Yes, and also we hire some staff son. I see I see and we need them
Yeah, so sure. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, and you have to rely not only on the tickets. Mm-hmm
But also for merchandise you says well, yeah
Merchandise is a little different thing. It's not included in live concert
Okay, it's so if you're talking only talking about the ticket fees. Yeah, then
You might not even make profit at all
Shit. Yeah, I didn't know that
Really? Yeah, if you if you do like small live house, and then you you prepare like
It's like a new mine ticket or something like that, then maybe you can make some profits for sure
But what's the usual range of pricing?
Okay, you know see that mean to me just makes it mean go sample person
That's a lot of money, right a lot of people. I mean, it's like what how much you're gonna get a lot of money, right?
But no, I didn't I didn't
Yeah that I didn't know so if you if you I would love to go to Fukuoka or Sapporo or wherever yeah
But you know if you think about like flights fees and transfer fees right to pay hotel fees for the members, right? And then
You're just really tough to
Make a trip even top make, you know, Tokyo is
コンサートの収益計算
It's yeah, you're right on the giddy giddy line. Yeah. Oh shit. Didn't know that. Yeah
Yeah, yeah, I I went to a I actually went to a new jeans concert. Mm-hmm several months ago. Yeah
Right, I think the concert ticket was like Ichimon. Mm-hmm go saying or something
Maybe need let me check. Yeah, hold on
It was neat
well dependent dependent on the
Rank, I mean take it. I guess well, let's say it was like
Ichimon go saying all right. It's expensive
Pretty expensive the ticket right and how many people?
Can fit in a Tokyo Dome?
Let me
Shoot your show your ninja shoot your ninja. Yeah
Come on go send you. Yeah, so I was like I was at the concert like calculating. Yeah
How much revenue that this event make how much sales? Yeah. Yeah. So go man
We'll say and come on go send me come on go send me times
Let's say Ichimon go say yeah
And I was blown away. It was like so, okay. So this is it turned out to be it. Okay, what are they?
Like I
Kept on reading the numbers. Okay, because it it was just too much. Okay, so let me read it out to you. Okay
Hachioku Wow Nissen go yakuman. Oh, yeah
What?
What that's huge
Hachioku, that's huge. And and it was packed. Yeah, that's packed. Yeah, I mean many couldn't get tickets. Yeah
Hachioku
Damn
Huge you think they're not you think they're they're making profits, right? For sure. Yeah for sure, right? Yeah
More than they gotta be right? Yeah, if it's gets bigger and bigger
Yeah, it's easier
but I think
Less than we imagine I think less than we imagine. Yeah, maybe like less than half. Well, I mean
Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely more than that because you they build a stage things and that's true
They would have to build a you know big ship, that's true
That's right. Um one day. I thought about just one
One fire. Oh, yeah, I was planning just one fire for my life
That's right, okay, how big is the hall it's just
When is this gonna episode episode it's gonna be out
Okay, let me check so you can't really I mean I'd stay any yeah, I want to give you a secret yeah, absolutely
one
on
So this is gonna be out. All right
Juichi got the new Shiroki. Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. It's after my after Tokyo's. Yeah. Yeah
just one
Yeah, one firework
One, let's say one
You know
Gin tape. Yeah. Yeah, that's one shot one shot one shot. Yeah, I see that on TV's. Yeah
Yeah, yeah
How many people can it fit in there? Um, it's happening. Good. How big are you happening?
But just one shot, right?
None of my end good guess. Yeah. Yeah
Jugo my from Jugo my end from Jugo my end. Yeah
Damn, I was like
Like I'm fighting against profit here. Yeah, what the fuck are you making me paint you go my I thought yeah
I just do that when I when I just came up on a stage. I just put on one
Yeah, and you know think of a Bruno Mars concert. There's just a lot of many
Songs and yeah, like maybe seven eight nine, and that's what I imagine. Yeah
And
It's tough. Yeah, so I didn't go to New Jeans concert, but you know for sure they've got some you got a lot
Those things right a lot of props like yeah. Yeah, many, you know many things many many stuff
Yeah, they need many stuffs many more cameras. That's right
That's right, so yeah
How many percent of
Takeaway you think out of the Hachioku?
Did the event itself make?
Itself. Yeah
the adore side adores the
company of new jeans company side I
Mean, honestly, I don't have any idea. Yeah, I think the the the the the
I mean, honestly, I don't have any idea. Yeah, I think it's completely different than what I'm doing
I guess it's you know, there's a lot more different
Yeah, I think so, right
But way way less than we can then we imagine. Yeah, that's for sure
But you know, we don't do that for for money. So right it's just I just want to do it
Yeah, just want to perform. So yeah. Yeah, that's that's not
You know the biggest matter about right, but if you think you you want to do this consistently
You have to also think about that thing. So I mean, yeah, money's important to write sustainability. Yes. Yes, right
Tough shit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah didn't know that. Yeah
