On August 12, rock band Kai Band gave an outdoor live performance in Nara on the special stage set up in the Daikodo of Yakushi-ji, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Vocalist Kai Yoshihiro (59) stated, �We are Kai Band!,� to which 3000 people cheered with enthusiasm. He followed this by declaring, �As Yakushi-ji is the best location [to perform at], we�ll give you the best performance!� The band then gave a power-packed performance of their 20 songs including �Anna� and �HERO~hero ni naru Toki, Sore wa Ima~�, while the weight of 1300 years of history rippled through the fantasy-like atmosphere.

This was their first outdoor live in 29 years since they last held one in 1983, which pulled in 30,000 fans. Kai previously showed interest in performing at a UNESCO World Heritage Site and now, it has become a reality. During the encore performance of �100-man $ Night�, laser beams flashed on stage and at the audience in the Daikodo.

Footage of their concert will be broadcast on August 30 on the NHKBS Premium channel.
