Classical Element Tour 2014
„Classical Element Tour 2014“- Die Werkstatt Köln 07.02.2014
For me, as the owner of a VIP Ticket, the concert started with a Question & Answer Session with Jupiter, which meant the band had been sitting on the stage and the staff read the questions together with Japanese language translator. The members were very calm, but also a little bit shy and unsure while they had been watching the fans with their soft and even lovely-faces.
Most of the questions had been answered by Hizaki but also by Zin who made some jokes.
The questions had been like : “Who has got a pet?”
Zin: “I haven’t got one, but you (he meant the girls) could become my pet.”
More interesting answers were that their sources of inspirations are movies, that they would like to do a duett with Kamijo (for my part I think that their voices would harmonize perfectly) and that the European fans have very warm and gentle hearts.
After that they offered a photo shooting, first together with the band and after that one with your favorite member. Presents were given, short dialogues were spoken, even some ‘I love you’s and some hugs were made. I had been very surprised and also happy that "Jupiter" were very close with their fans. "Jupiter"'s warmth always made their fans happy.
At 19:30 the concerts started with an introduction while the fans were calling for the band. After a few minutes they appeared, first Yuki who sat behind his drums immediately, then Masashi, Teru, Hizaki and at last Zin. The first song “Scarlet” evoked a great atmosphere from the beginning. Zin animated the fans to wave or to clap hands and let them shake his hand.Hizaki's fall caused a little break. Luckily he wasn’t hurt and Teru played the first part of a solo which was ended by Hizaki.

With the second song “Aria” the fans were completely caught by the great mood; they headbanged and sang together with the band. Everyone was united, a family and this time it had been Hizaki who shook the hands of us.
The third song “decadence” were started by Zin with a little choreography together with his band mates who danced a waltz rhythm which showed the moves of a great ocean under the sky full of stars. After that Zin talked to the fans,he told us how happy he was.
“Allegory Cave” was one the most metallic songs during the concert.
Hizaki and Teru were rocking with playing their guitars. Zin’s voice was an amazing contrast with some strong, almost soft opera-tones, also showing the fun he had. Even Masashi left his frozen image and animated the fans.
The next ‘song’ was “Rhythmos”, an instrumental piece which had been very dark and at the beginning even a little bit scary, but also invited to dance. Hizaki and Teru told the fans to jump which they did. It lead shortly to “Nostalgia”, an amazing ballad guided by Zin’s beautiful voice which showed its whole power during the number. It appeared like he would turn into a star prince, who invited his fans to follow him to the stars, to unknown worlds- shared together with the band and their music.

After that soft side it became more rocking with the instrumental piece “Race wish”, which created an epic, great imagination of stars and endlessness.
Hizaki played the main part and lead to the old "Versailles" - instrumental “Silent Knight”, what surprised me very much. I’m happy to see that especially Zin didn’t have any problems with it. At the end Hizaki made the fans calling for the vocal, which we did. When he appeared again Zin said “Danke”.
At “Heaven’s Atlas” the band started to dance again and also to twirl around.
The fans joined in immediatley and Zin became ‘the Prince’ again, especially while embracing Hizaki. With some gestures and Japanese words he tried to tell the fans to put our hands together. And so we did!

The next song“Shout your desire” came down on us like a growling thunderstorm , Zin sang with such force, that nobody could resist him.
With burning blood as well as souls the fans did what the lyrics told:
‘Shout out our desire!’
“Last Moment” had been a new song and I was happy to hear it.
It created a dramatic atmosphere with rocking guitars.
Zin’s voice invited the fans to follow him into his own world of stars, love and also the sad power of goodbye.
The 12th song was “Symmetry Breaking” which started with a guitar intro and turned into an amazing dramatic ballad with a slow rhythms, especially due to Zin’s voice.
The members of "Jupiter" animated the fans and they joined in without hesitation. The mood had been so great and our blood seemed to heat in our veins.
“Classical Element” had been the last song of the official playlist.
It had a very dramatic touch without forgotting their rock background.
The members said goodbye and thanked all for their support.
Did they really think that we would let them go so soon?
I hope not, because we asked or better said, screamed for an encore, of course. It didn’t take long to make them agree.

The encore played two more songs and the "Jupiter" members were wearing more simple clothes like T-Shirts and mini-skirts. The first song had been “Forever with you”, a very soft ballad of love and eternity. Teru waved with his guitar while the fans fell into the song.
At this very brief moment all of them together, were united in perfect harmony.
“Blessing of the Future” had been the very last song of the concert.
That time "Jupiter" did not only animate their fans to join them..they often told how much they adored them.
And according to the tears of joy one could see from the look in their eyes, that they had been serious about it. For one last time Zin made the stage his personal kingdom, full of stars and happiness. And even the ground seemed to agree because it really seemed to shake in their rhythms.
In the end it was very hard to let them go again, because the concert had been a wonderful experience. A true journey to the stars.
