"The direction of this ADAPT will be more conceptual than Hikari ONLINE. Last time, the theme was light, so it was all about light itself, but this time, the theme is 'ADAPT,' which describes the situation, so I think it will be more about depicting something internal.
The video will be developed using a set, so the first half will be more visual. Since we are committed to live streaming, it is important that we can share that tension with the viewers. This time, a woman appears as the main character.
"I will be acting as a spokesperson for the 'inner' parts that I express through online live performances," he said.
Furthermore, although Mr. Tanaka always causes trouble for SAKANACTION 's management by spending a large amount of money on each event, he gave no comment on the budget this time.
YUSUKE TANAKA said that he has been in meetings all night every day. He is probably worried about whether they will be able to overcome the challenges before the actual event, but he has high hopes for this online live performance, which will be an important start for the ADAPT Project.
Late at night on November 2nd, we caught up with general director YUSUKE TANAKA during a meeting at Yamaguchi's home.
-Sorry, YUSUKE TANAKA, this is Weekly Uotami.
"yes"
-The previous work followed the concept of a live tour that was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but this time it's a completely new, first online live performance, so what kind of concept will it be based on?
"In the previous work, it was an online live performance in which I thought about how to express the 'light' contained in the title itself. This time, the theme is the word 'ADAPT', which describes the situation, so I'm moving in the direction of depicting something internal."
-What are you trying to be careful about?
"Since we're focusing on live streaming, we want to make it something that allows people to share that sense of tension."
-Are there any other performers besides SAKANACTION this time?
"Yes, there is. A woman appears as something like the main character."
-What is the woman's role?
"It's like he's a spokesperson for what we call our 'inner self.' He's a spokesperson for the inner side of SAKANACTION, from their last album to this one, including Hikari Online, and he's also a spokesperson for the world and their listeners."
-Hikari Online caused a sensational incident by using a huge budget, but what about this time?
「……」
Tanaka's expression was stiff and he remained silent after this question.
