Japanese Musician Centimillimental finally performed his first concert in Indonesia last April. The country is marked as the fifth destination in Centimillimental’s ribbon Asia tour, following his visit to Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, and South Korea.
Bali United Studio was chosen as the concert venue in Jakarta, with the performance taking place on the indoor stage. The holding area outside the concert is used by the attendees to wait until the show starts at 1900 West Indonesian Time (GMT+7). A large photo wall was set up in the outdoor holding area, alongside exclusive merchandise booths and several FnB stations.
A group of staff from promoter Hype Live was stationed at the entrance gate to hand out the freebies set, which consists of a sticker sheet, a small pack of snacks, and a handbanner from the support project organised by Centimillimental Indonesia fan community.
Centimillimental kicked off his performance in Jakarta with the song Stage kara Kimi ni Sasagu, a perfect choice to open the show considering the meaning of the title, Dedicated to You, from the Stage. The setlist for the night comprised 16 songs, taking the Atelier C, the name of Centimillimental fans, on an emotional ride throughout the show. Here is the full setlist for ribbon in Jakarta:
- Stage kara Kimi ni Sasagu
- Ikite Ikanakucha
- Kizuato
- Seishun no Enbu
- Hoshi no Aida
- Super Ultra I Love You
- Hitorigoto
- Totte
- Nag
- Straight (Medley)
- Parade (Medley)
- Uragawa no Sonzai
- Fuyu no Hanashi
- Umi e
- Yuigon
- Bokura Dake no Shudaika
Centimillimental delivered the setlist with contagiously high energy, which was returned with full enthusiasm from the crowd. Loud cheers and singalongs followed as Centimillimental performed on stage, with the crowd’s response becoming more energetic when they recognised songs included as soundtracks for anime series Given. Blue lightsticks decorated with orange ribbons could be seen among the crowd, an item that was sold by Centimillimental Indonesia fan community in the venue.
Occasionally, Atsushi, the leading musician of Centimillimental would greet his audience during breaks in between the setlist, also throwing in some sentences in Indonesian to gauge the enthusiasm.
A special moment was created by the audience during the consecutive performances of Umi e and Yuigon, in which the crowd remained silent to focus on the heartfelt songs. Phone flashlights were turned on during Umi e, while handbanners were raised up for Yuigon. The fan community organised these acts to show their support for Centimillimental’s ribbon concert in Jakarta.
That’s our Centimillimental concert report! Hopefully, the warm welcome from Atelier C could bring Centimillimental back to Indonesia in the future!
