LiSA

On to the second concert of the trip, LiSA has written music for some of the most popular anime - including Sword Art Online and Demon Slayer, as well as the Japanese version of the new Spiderman film. Her musical style is punk-rock with a j-pop twist.

The performance was very high energy, with the crowd constantly chanting (sometimes even in English so I would understand what was happening). The light pens that the audience use add a unique element compared to western concerts.

LiSA herself was very laid back, constantly joking with the crowd and the rest of the band. For one of the final songs she walked into the crowd while singing, amazingly everyone remained stood next to their allocated seat, unimaginable in a western performance. She also managed to perform countless lightning fast costume changes between songs.
