Mika loves his Japanese and Korean fans, so I'm sure the gigs will be rescheduled.

We hope Mika postpones his show in Tokyo if he can.

Risky places are on the increase. It is not only in Asia and Italy, is it?

Most of Japanese fans are hoping that Mika postpones his show in Tokyo, and I think he will.

But, please imagine how sad we feel when we see the post like this in this thread.

COVID-19 fears hit live music in Japan | The Japan Times

Patrick St. Michel

 

---

Amid the global spread of COVID-19 cases, a growing number of domestic and international artists have begun canceling or postponing shows in Japan. From dome-sized performances to indie concerts, performers are debating whether to play live and, if they do, what special measures to take.

Nerves tensed up on Feb. 25 when news that the first recorded COVID-19 patient in Kumamoto Prefecture had attended a show by pop-punk band Wanima on Feb. 8 in Fukuoka. This revelation prompted the group to cancel a handful of upcoming dates, marking the first major domestic cancellations.

So far, COVID-19 concerns and potential travel advisories have had a larger impact on international acts scheduled to play in Japan.

At the time of publication, artists who have cancelled shows in Japan (most as part of an Asian tour) include Ari Lennox, Tom Walker, Nell, Temples, Brooke Candy, Kim Hyun-joong and Mac DeMarco among others. Acts that have postponed gigs include Pixies, Stormzy, Ruel and Exid. And it feels safe to say other artists are debating what to do.

 

“We have had a few cancellations … artists that were to have dates in Japan as part of their Asian tours that would have included Korea and China,” John Moylett of concert promoter Smash, says.

“I cannot say who they are at the moment, as we are waiting to receive their statements. As always the welfare of the audience is our prime concern.”

 

The situation presents the biggest challenge for Japan’s live-music industry since the aftermath of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, when overseas artists canceled shows over radiation fears, with only a handful pressing on, to much love from Japanese fans and media.

Yet, for all the worry, many major concerts and events are going on. While the Japanese government has canceled official events, new government policies leave the decision to cancel shows up to organizers.

 

Artists such as Jay Som and New Order are still set to play, while the Snow Machine music festival (March 1-4) in Hakuba, Nagano Prefecture, is also going ahead according to an official statement. K-pop groups Blackpink and Red Velvet performed at large venues in Fukuoka earlier in the month, while J-pop trio Perfume pushed on with its Feb. 25 show at Tokyo Dome but canceled its show at the same venue the following evening.

But many large shows are currently in limbo, such as K-pop group Twice’s Tokyo Dome gigs set for next week. It’s hard to imagine such big events canceling, though, given the loss of revenue. While future shows might be impacted — and summer festivals might see a wave of international acts backing out if the situation doesn’t stabilize — the reality is most events will go on with more precautions in place.

For the Feb. 25 Perfume performance, the venue put out extra hand sanitizer at the gates, while a pre-show image on the venue’s big screens instructed people on how to properly wash their hands. Attendees appeared to be taking the situation more seriously, too.

It’s a tricky thing, balancing public health with the need for entertainment. People’s well-being should come first, but it’s important to have an escape in times like this. So if you do opt for the concert, just make sure to take the proper hand-washing precautions.

THE MORNING SHOW

Mika is touring Australia for the first time in 11 years

Back in 2007, Steve Jobs had just announced the first iPhone, and John Howard was in his final year as Prime Minister.In the music scene, the year delivered us plenty of songs that were just a little bit sad - Beyonce was putting everything you owned in a box to the left, and Fergie was reminding us that Big Girls Don’t Cry.

But in all the doom and gloom, thankfully, one man came to our rescue with his upbeat anthems - Mika.

Grace Kelly made Mika a household name - but he was no one-hit wonder, with hits like Relax, Take It Easy and Love Today.

Now, the artist is back in Australia for his first tour in 11 years.

“The crowds are unbelievable,” Mika said.

“They remind me of crowds right at the beginning of my career, where you don’t know what’s going to happen on the show. We had this amazing drag queen that came on and did a full performance in the middle of the song. It was amazing.”

 

Language lover

Mika was born in Beirut before moving to Paris as a baby - and then grew up in London from the age of nine.

He is known for being fluent in French, English, and Spanish - and has even picked up Italian along the way.

“I was doing TV in France, and I kept on doing promos on The X Factor in Italy, and I got asked if I wanted to be a judge,” Mika said.

“So I signed a contract and they asked me if I spoke Italian - and I said yes, and the truth is I didn’t know how to speak Italian.

“I had two months to learn. And I will tell you, as a grown adult, the one thing that will push you to learn something really quickly is fear. It was a mess.

“My mother is Lebanese-Syrian, and my father is American - so in our household, there were different languages for different purposes.

 

Shows cancelled over coronavirus

 

While Aussie fans are lucky enough to catch Mika on tour, unfortunately, his fans in Asia have had to miss out due to concerns over the coronavirus.

 

“I was supposed to go to Japan and South Korea and do a tonne of shows there, but those plans have changed, unfortunately,” Mika said.

 

“I really tried up until the last minute. And in South Korea, I made a statement saying that I would go and I wasn’t going to cancel out of my own personal fear.

 

“The venue was going to be prepared. They sent out a statement saying they were going to disinfect the venue - and anyone without a mask would not be allowed at the gig.

 

“So in my mind, I was like, I’m going to have to do two arena shows with thousands of people wearing masks. I’ve never done that before. So we really tried, right up until it got untenable.

 

“At a certain point, you have to think of the crowd. So for the sake of protecting the crowd, big groups of people like that are not going to happen for a while.”

 

Mika will be performing in Sydney and Melbourne this week - for tickets, click here.

 

 

 

This is the way you left me
I'm not pretending
No hope, no love, no glory
No happy ending
This is the way that we love
Like it's forever
Then live the rest of our life
But not together

 

Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life
Can't get no love without sacrifice
If anything should happen, I'd guess I wish you well
a little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell

 

This is the hardest story
That I have ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more

 

I feel as if I'm wasted
And I wasted everyday

 

Thank you as always @Blue Sky

残念ながら、新型コロナウイルス感染拡大を受け、中国、日本、韓国での全公演を延期することになりました。 私はこの状況を綿密にモニタリングし、なんとか予定通り開催できるよう望んできましたが、大切なファンを危険な状況に晒したくはありません。多くの皆さんを失望させただけでなく、私は再びこれらの素晴らしい都市に滞在することを心待ちにしていたので、非常に残念でなりません。しかし、安心してください。私は私の仲間と共に、出来るだけ早く新たな公演日程が組めるよう、そしてさらに多くのショーが出来るよう、既にチーム一丸となって動き始めています。続報を待って下さい。なるべく早くみんなに良いニュースを届けられますよう…ご無事で。 M x

《Message from MIKA》
! am very sad to announce that my shows in China, Japan and South Korea have had to be postponed due to Coronavirus. I have been monitoring the situation closely and really hoped we could still go ahead, but I just don't want to put any of my fans at risk given the circumstances. I am really disappointed, not only to let so many of you down but because I was so looking forward to being in these incredible cities again, it’s long overdue! But rest assured, my team and I are working hard to find new dates ASAP for me to come back and do even more shows. Watch this space… I hope to have good news for you very soon… Stay safe, M x
