First up is Ms. Yanagisawa's performance. I actually shot this video at the very start of the first day of the festival. I went to the venue an hour before the performance to check the stage out, and confirm the positioning of the camera. However... once the performance began and I started rolling, I realized that her face and hands aren't in the picture. The stage is high up, and the instruments are larger than I thought. And Ms. Yanagisawa is petit. I should have known... I break out in a cold sweat! Oh no! I can't shoot anything. Time is ticking away. I desperately try to swing the camera to the sides and place the camera on stage, but the performance soon ends. The results were miserable. Mr. Maeda, coming from the back of the venue, asked me how it went. My reply: "I couldn't get a thing". Truly awful.
