On the evening of October 14, at the Shanghai Jing'an Sports Center, in the tour's Ending "Thank You for Staying with Me" and the golden ribbon flying in the sky, this ultimate music carnival belonging to Awakening ended, and the first tour of Awakening after 16 years of debut also ended successfully.
During the tour, the total number of views on related hot topics exceeded 930 million, and the total number of views of related videos exceeded 5 million, and the media and netizens forwarded them one after another, and strongly supported them. The 5 performances have different hidden surprises, and every time they wake up, they are carefully prepared to meet everyone with a new look.
A large number of viewers and netizens praised in the comment area related to the tour, and the creative talent and singing skills of the "old singer" awakened were also unanimously affirmed by everyone. The words are full of witty words, interlocking, live interaction or continuous laughter, or sincere and moving, once rated by netizens as "the silkiest concert I have seen this year".
Traveling through 5 cities, this journey from summer to autumn has reaped countless laughter and tears. Guangzhou, Nanjing, Beijing, Chengdu, Shanghai, every show is hot and packed, and each city is the perfect note for the memories of the tour.
Five tours, with a total of 33 tracks, are full of awakening nuances of observation of the world from various angles. The reason why awakened music can gain so much resonance and recognition is due to his deep understanding of society and sharp expression. The thought-provoking "golden sentences" in the touring session also deeply hit the hearts of the audience.
Recall that when the first kick drum of "Too Lazy" sounded at the Shanghai station, the elevator held up the awakening in a black diamond suit, the foggy gray ends of his hair were decorated with sequins, the lights were gathered, and the stars were shining. Followed by the tacit connection between the rap words of "Real Time 2020" and the cool neon background, ushering in the first wave of cheers in the audience. The regular songs of the touring chorus "Daily Life of an Old Singer", "With the Stars in the Night", "Love Is All Around" and "You Are Most Striking" have successively raised the warm atmosphere to a peak.
Walking to the fifth stop, the stage upgrade from the theater to the gymnasium creates more surprises for the awakened stage. The VJ2.0 effect, composed of nearly 600 ice screens, combined with the upgraded lighting design, makes the stage have a stronger visual space. The band's exclusive sunken orchestra pit and lifting stage also make the awakened singing performance more relaxed.
The English lyric song "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You" is sung by the Shanghai station, and the flashing American retro lights in the VJ place the stage on the foggy roof in the evening, and the orange lampposts are staggered and rotated, as if everything fell into a dream, and the picture is extremely romantic. As the English song that Awakening confessed for the first time at the age of 14, its meaning spans time and emotion, allowing Awakening to recall that young self again, and also allowing everyone in the audience to dream back to their youthful memories.
As the band ends, the camera gradually moves away. In the singing of these 5 stations, we experienced what is the "leisure" of an old singer on the stage, sitting or standing, and singing and pacing can also pump air conditioning and say a few words. Whenever the pink lights of "Love Beyond The Sea" illuminate the audience, you can feel the attentive eyes from the audience, and everyone is immersed in the music, sharing this intimacy and warmth.
Rated by Awakening as the most suitable song for himself at this stage, and also "the most satisfying work written in recent times", "Rising Land" became the explosive track of this tour. Shanghai Station is no exception, the light tears the red that shrouds the stage, the back is whispered in the past, and the stage Rising "The dazzling light is still flashing", and the scene atmosphere is ignited in a second.
In addition, in the singing of works with great power and significance such as "The World of Heart" and "Light", we see the catharsis and contemplation of awakening as an expressor; In love songs such as "Marry Me" and "Good Night Darling", understand his understanding and expression of romance; In lyrical songs such as "Autumn" and "Don't Persuade Me to Let Go", I experienced his sincere and rich emotional world.
As a singer-songwriter with diverse genres, the cover singing session of this tour is unsurprisingly excellent. A song "Love is Doubt" in Beijing led a large number of fans to dream back to 2007, and a song "Liberation" in Shanghai also made the "dream back" atmosphere climax again. The soulful stages of "What I Miss" and "Intimate Lover" were widely spread online, and the Cantonese singing of "Willing to Replace You" also triggered cheers from the scene.
It is worth mentioning that the Shanghai station of Awakening sang a cover of "Treasure" by his good brother Wang Lixin, and Wang Lixin, who started his tour in Shanghai at the same time, also covered the special "singing and dancing" song "Miss Pretty" on the night of Awakening.
Near the end of the Shanghai performance, the light accompaniment of "You Are the Most Striking" made the chorus sound louder in the audience, and the atmosphere was warm and moving. Wake up and pacing in front of the stage and sing with the fans in the audience. When the accompaniment of "Thank You for Staying with Me" gradually closed, the lifting stage fell, and Su woke up and waved goodbye.
The 2023 Awakening WAKE UP Tour was carried out by Fenghua Qiushi and Awakening Studio from the initial planning to production, and in the past six months, they have worked together to promote this wonderful tour to 5 cities. Looking forward to the future, we wish the "old singers" to wake up and achieve more surprising and moving stages on their own unique style of music. All this beautiful thing will come to Japan.
