On February 11th, I watched Hasunuma Philharmonic's ``Composer: New Philharmonic'' led by Shuta Hasunuma, which was a one-day performance at KAAT Kanagawa Arts Theater.
On the day of the performance, a large number of people flocked to the theater, making it perhaps the first time in the Hasunuma Philharmonic's history to perform in such a large hall.
This time, we conducted an interview beforehand, and in the interview we also talked about how Shuta Hasunuma's idea of ``wanting to score the entire live performance'' was expressed, and how Yuko Mori's stage equipment was involved in this performance. It was a performance that I wasn't interested in other than the songs.
 
However, there was one thing that I was personally concerned about before the performance started, and that was the ``distance from the audience.''
Shuta Hasunuma, who has participated in TPAM several times so far, has performed in a live style in which the performers are almost at the same level as the audience, and at a close distance, allowing the performers to involve the audience and allowing the audience to move freely through the space. I think it was the style.
However, as the name ``Hall'' suggests, this venue has a large stage, and seats are lined up in front of it for a long distance, so unlike previous concerts, everyone had to ``sit and listen''. This was because I had a personal concern that something like a ``temperature difference'' might arise from the Ford space.
However, when the live performance started, I realized that my anxiety was all I had imagined.

The plan for this live performance was to perform the songs from the recently released "Time plays — and so do we." exactly as they were on the album, but we had already been incorporated into the song as a "score." It is.
In fact, there was only one song that was performed that day, which was not included in the album, but which is also the title of the album, ``Time player-and so do we.'' However, the pamphlet that was handed out on the day had a song for this song. Various instructions were written, and all the viewers could participate in the performance according to the rules, depending on the color of the printed paper.
The instructions are to be carried out in time with the actions of Yuko Mouri's work on stage, to direct the fill, to clap in time with the lighting, to play paper guns at the timing of your choice. Although they were instructed by broad rules, each member was free to perform with Phil as they pleased.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to call it co-starring, but the feeling of being included in the score eliminates the distance between us, and the meaning of ``Time Plays,'' which is also used in the album's title, makes the scene very real. I think it was completed. Also, Yuko Mouri's device seemed to be in a very important position in this part of giving instructions.
Even if the same action is taken, the content may be slightly different when a person gives instructions, but it also holds true in other venues as well, in that the device performs the instruction by taking on the role of the instruction. I think it fulfilled its function sufficiently as a "score".
 
However, if you think about it carefully, the Hasunuma Philharmonic Orchestra played the songs on the album in order, but we went to listen to the songs on the album. Hasunuma Philharmonic performs as per the album.
With that alone, each other's roles have already been fulfilled, and the ``distance'' that I was concerned about may not have anything to do with this performance.
So to speak, this performance was completed by our participation in the song, which is both a bonus track and the title.
If you think about it that way, by the time we picked up the CD, we might have already gathered around this performance as part of their "score."
