At the end of the first encore of Makuhari Messe concert leader Yamaguchi Ichiro looked over the spacious concert hall “5 years ago we performed in front of about 20 people, today 20,000 came. At that time this couldn’t be imagined. Others may change, I will not. We will continue to make music that speaks to everyone.”
At end of the second encore, an exhausted Yamaguchi told the audience, “2011, the year “DocumentaLy” was released, has made me aware. Other things may happen in the next 10 years but 20 years from now 2011 will be the year that I will look back to. Thank you so much for today.”
