風さんのコーチェラweek2を称える声の中には、week1と比べてリラックスしていたという感想が多いようだが、そうだろうか?
私には、かなり自分を追い込んだ彼のパフォーマンスだったようにも思える。
当然彼自身が新しい経験を望んではいただろうが、それはいつも恐れと表裏一体で、自分に鞭打って必死の思いでやり遂げたのではないだろうか?
だからこそ、得るものも大きく、また次のコマも用意されるわけだ。
藤井風さんにとって、たぶん、大観衆の前に立つことは必ずしも重要じゃない。
実際、過去の国内ツアーのときなど、彼は自分がライブをやる意味をあまり感じてなかったようだし、重荷に感じているような発言もいくつかあった。
期待に応えたいと強く思ってしまう彼だから、負担をかけてしまうのがファンとしては不本意だ。
だから、ただ、ただ感謝したい。
Many praise Fujii Kaze's performance at Coachella Week 2 noted that he seemed more relaxed compared to Week 1, but is that really the case?
To me, it seemed like he pushed himself quite hard for that performance.
Of course, he must have desired new experiences, but that's always intertwined with fear, and I think he must have pushed himself to the limit to get through it.
That's precisely why he gained so much, and why the next opportunity is already prepared for him.
For Fujii Kaze, perhaps standing in front of a huge audience isn't necessarily the most important thing.
In fact, during past domestic tours, he didn't seem to feel much meaning in performing live, and there were several instances where he seemed to feel burdened by it.
Because he strongly desires to live up to expectations, it's unfortunate for fans to end up burdening him.
Therefore, I simply want to express my gratitude.
