Many audience members were looking forward to seeing not only the individual performances of each artist, but also the collaborations that they could only see here.

This year's venue is:2019Since the performance in5Fuji-Q Highland Conifer Forest will be back for the first time in 10 years. This year's theme of "collaboration" was realized in more ways than just music, with artists taking over the park's in-park announcements and attraction voices, and collaborative menus with local Yamanashi restaurants being offered as festival food. There will also be event goods for sale and photo spots unique to festivals, as well as a well-equipped kids' sukima to please fans who are visiting with their families.1The event was held in two offices, creating a homely atmosphere that entertained the fans in attendance.

 

13时15At 11:00, opening act Louis appeared.

"1A year ago, I was watching the Augusta Camp stage from the audience, so I'm surprised and grateful to be standing here now. And I don't want this to be the end, I want it to be the start of delivering my music to many people," he said emotionally, and performed all songs including "Unmei no Mitsu".4They performed the song. They gave a dignified performance as the opening act for the Augusta Camp, which is considered the gateway to success for new Augusta artists and was also performed by Sukima Switch and Motohiro Hata before their debuts.

 

It was bright and sunny, as if we were sad to see the summer fading away.14As time passed, the artists appeared on stage one by one.Are you ready?" ? " the call was met with a big cheer from the audience. Sakai was joined by Fukumimi, a unit of artists from Office Augusta.2012Written inLOVE & LIVE LETTER” he declared, opening this year's Augusta camp.

They have one thing in common: they were written for female artists.3The fact that Okamoto invited guests to perform all of the songs showed his own approach to this year's Augusta Camp theme of "collaboration."

Moto Chitose appeared wearing a long dress and colorful hair extensions braided into her hair.No.2"I'm Moto Chitose! I'm happy to meet you all again this year at Augusta Camp," she said with a cheerful voice, and performed "Inori," featuring reggae-style guitar cutting and the impressive sound of steel pans, and "Katari Tsugu Koto," an original arrangement by Sukima Switch's Shintaro Tokita. Although the tunes are different, both songs express a desire for peace.2Performed a song.MCHowever, she said, "I want to live my life feeling grateful for peace," and it was impressive to see the entire audience listening intently to her powerful singing.

3Next up was Hata Motohiro. "I'll be playing while sitting down, so please sit down too. I'd like you to relax and listen to me sing and play," he said, showing consideration for the audience who had been through a long day, as he performed "Episode of Laughter and Tears" and "Slave of Love" in a gentle manner. As the sunlight weakened a little and a comfortable autumn breeze blew, the simple sound of acoustic guitar and vocals created a chill atmosphere. The moment the intro to "Kimi, Meguru, Boku" started, the audience rose one after another, and Hata encouraged the audience to clap, livening up the venue. The last song in Hata's section was "Debut Song",15They invited Sakai to join them for the anniversary performance of "Himawari no Yakusoku." The beautiful harmony of Sakai's silky voice and Hata's delicate yet powerful voice was met with loud applause from the audience.

Next up was Takehara Pistol, who performed with an acoustic guitar. "I'm going to sing with the hope that everyone gathered at Augusta Camp will stay healthy forever," he said, as he performed a standard number with a poem he wrote for a loved one.Amazing Grace" he sang as if savoring every word, and continued, "Forever Young". The lyrics "There's nothing that you had back then that you don't have now" were filled with Takehara's utmost respect and blessings for Kyoko and Sakai, who are celebrating their debut anniversaries.

Takehara said, "(My solo performance is over)1"We will remain on stage as we are performing a song together," said Tomoyuki Nagasawa.Nice BandNagasawa said, "I respect Takehara Pistol-senpai and1"Please let me collaborate on a song," to which Takehara immediately replied, "I respect you too."2The song that people collaborate on is "Koubou" from Nagasawa's album "Sky Blue, Emotion".2The live performance, where lyrics depicting the initial impulses of people are piled up like a clash, was truly overwhelming. Nagasawa chose Sakae, who had her birthday the day before the performance, as her next collaborator.2The first part ended with the lingering echoes of the "spider's thread" created by humans.

 

After a short interval, Sukima Switch appeared. "Would you like to come for a drink?"Lovin' SongAfter the solo performance of "1Ohashi then called out to his fourth collaborator, Sakai. "I'm not good at singing while standing with a hand microphone, but I want Tokita to play the intro to this song, so I decided to try using a hand microphone this time," Sakai told us, sharing a heartwarming story as he performed "Boku Note." The next collaborator, called out to the sound of a four-on-the-floor bass drum, was Takehara. Feeling the response of the call-and-response, which was a first in his career, he broke out into a beaming smile, saying, "If this kind of happiness continues, I'll be punished!" Ohashi and Takehara, who are the same generation and the same age, and call each other "Take-chan" and "Taku-chan," performed "Zenryoku Shounen," and the audience cheered with enthusiastic handclaps. After seeing Takehara off, Ohashi savored the true joy of the Augusta Camp, saying, "It's fun! I'm really happy that I can have this much fun just with artists from my agency!"

The next part is Matsumuro.1Sukima Switch also participated in the song. "Can you have fun? Can you dance to Augusta Camp?" Matsumuro called out, and the song was "LOVEJust when you thought the band had transformed the audience into a dance floor with their funky sounds and fake exchanges, they suddenly changed the atmosphere and announced, "I've written a great love song, so I want everyone to listen to it at Augusta Camp." They then performed their latest album,LABORATORY" She carefully sang the medium tempo number "French Bulldog" from "My First Love." It was a performance that could only be achieved at the Augusta Camp, showcasing the breadth of Matsumuro's musicality.

Next, Masayoshi Yamazaki said, "This year is a collaboration..." and called out Kyoko and Moto Chitose.Plastic Soul" The show started with the house band "Augusta Camp 2024 Nice BandThe members of "The Group" performed solos, heating up the venue.2The song is "Frito," which Yamazaki wrote as the theme song for the TV drama "Mitsuya Sensei no Meitekiteki Feedou," in which he plays the lead role. The song takes its title from Mitsuya Sensei's pet dog Frito, and has a country-style sound with humorous and warm lyrics in a Kansai dialect that sounds like Mitsuya Sensei murmuring, "I love you, don't I? There's no reason why." With Nagasawa, he will perform "Haru mo Arashi mo," which has a bouncy rhythm; with Takehara, he will perform "Unfinished," a song that "Takehara let me listen to the demo of when he first came to Tokyo," and with Sakai, he will perform "Unfinished," a song that was streamed live without an audience during the COVID-19 pandemic.2020A repeat performance of "Coin" from the Augusta Camp in 2013.5Excluding "Frito" in the song4The song was performed as a collaboration.

Kyoko moved freely around the stage while manipulating a tambourine decorated with colorful yellow fringe.MCIn the segment, Kyoko, who is the "eldest daughter" of Augusta and is often in the position to take charge and coordinate, spoke in a refreshing, equal and slightly casual atmosphere and tone that only a fellow member could have.

Imamichi and Kyoko's twinVo.Ohashi joined in "Me tobutete odeyo" which followed "Arigatou" by Kyoko, singing the high-range male part in exchange with Kyoko.

On this special stage that can only be seen at Augusta Camp, she showed her overwhelming presence as the one and only rock queen.

 

Sakai, who had been performing as a guest in collaborations up until this point, finally appeared as the main act.15"I'm still a long way from my anniversary," he said modestly, but he was grateful for the support he has received from his fans and the support he has received from the Augusta Camp.15He expressed his gratitude for being able to perform on this special anniversary stage.NHKThe album includes a special Augusta Camp version of "Happy☆Boogie," the theme song for the morning drama series "Boogie Woogie," with Kyoko and Moto on the female vocals, and their debut song "Story."15He entertained the audience with a wide range of songs that reflected his 2000 year career.
