氷室ドームの感想を語る（公式より）
21st Century Boowys VS HIMURO At Tokyo Dome
2004/08/25
マジであれほどとは思わなかったよ...
いや、みんなの歌う声が
ドームからは異常な音のデカさをなんとかしてくれって何度もクレームがきたらしいけど、ハッキリいってファンの歌声はPAのシステムじゃコントロール出来ないからな...（笑） まさに５万５千人のカラオケボックス状態だぜ。
なんにしても楽しみにしていたライブが終わっちゃったぜ。
今回は俺があまり MCをしなかった事でちょっと消化不良を感じてる連中もいるみたいだけど、そこんところは俺なりにコンセプトとしてやった事なので了解して欲しい所だね。
あまり言葉で確認、納得させながら進行していくスタイルがあの夜に関しては自分的にかっこ悪く思えたんでね。
イヤモニのバランス等も本番が始まったらリハで細かく組み上げた"それ"とは全然変わっちゃって、パフォーマンスも絶好調とはいかなかったけど（スタッフいわく、あんなに歌われたら今の様にシビアなバランスには干渉しますだと）皆が楽しそうにしているエネルギーに引っ張られて途中からは完成度云々を超えたところで俺も楽しめたから後悔はしてないけどね。 もともとあの夜は祭りだから。
あっ、そうそう、あの日ステージ上から言えなかった分 当日遊びに来てくれた友達やあの企画に快く協力してくれたユイ音楽工房のスタッフはじめ関係各位の方々にこの場を借りて心から感謝します。
...と祭りの後の余韻にあまり浸っている暇もなくて、実は次ぎなるツアーの音源を整理すべくもうL.Aのスタジオにいます。
次のツアーでまた皆の楽しそうな顔が見れる様に、あまり時間がないけど頑張らなくちゃな！

I never would have imagined how loud your singing could be...
The staff at the Tokyo Dome asked us many times
to quieten down the crowd during the show.
The PA System was unable to control the sound because of the intense volume from your singing.... Wow!
It was totally like a KARAOKE BOX for 55,000 people.
Well, anyway, it was really cool and i didn't want the show to end.
I heard that some of you who came to the 8.22
event were not satisfied because of the lack of
MC. I want you to know that the decision to not
have an MC was one of my concepts for the show.
I thought that too much communication by words
was not a suitable procedure of the show.
As for me, that style was not cool especially
that night.
After the show started, compared to the balance
that was strictly built up in my ear monitor
at rehearsal, the balance had changed severely,
and my performance was affected, (my staff told
me that a severe balance change like this
occurred because of the intensity of your
voices), but as your passionate energy pulled me
up, I really enjoyed the show and have no
regrets, 'cause the night was just a party.
Well, I want to say "thank you" very much to all my friends
who came to the 8.22 show and to the Yui Music Staff
and all the people concerned who supported me.
...No time to be carried away by the afterglow of
the show, now I'm in the studio in LA to collect music sources
for the next tour.
I have a little time left to prepare for it, and
I'll do my best for you at the upcoming shows.
