\/>\nAfter returning to the dressing room and changing into my stage outfit, I was standing by when I received a message from Anthony &#8220;The bassist from Cheap Trick is here. Do you want to meet him?&#8221; Atsuko and I were absolutely floored\u2014so shocked we nearly fell over. I couldn&#8217;t believe it at first, but it turned out to be true. Tom Petersson from Cheap Trick had actually came to see us. Oh my gosh, this is incredible! Is this for real? I\u2019m so happy! So, I got to chat with him for a bit and have a photo taken together. We talked about that Cheap Trick was the first concert of Atsuko, and I mentioned that I love Cheap Trick too and have seen them perform live many times.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-56796\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shonenknife.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_3751-400x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shonenknife.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_3751-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/www.shonenknife.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_3751-800x600.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.shonenknife.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_3751-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.shonenknife.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_3751-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.shonenknife.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_3751-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-56797\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shonenknife.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_3754-400x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shonenknife.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_3754-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/www.shonenknife.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_3754-800x600.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.shonenknife.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_3754-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.shonenknife.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_3754-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.shonenknife.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_3754-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u672c\u756a\uff11\uff10\u5206\u524d\u3001\u8208\u596e\u306f\u6700\u9ad8\u6f6e\u3002\u30c8\u30e0\u3055\u3093\u306f\u3068\u3066\u3082\u3084\u3055\u3057\u304f\u3066\u6c17\u3055\u304f\u306a\u65b9\u3067\u3057\u305f\u3002\u30d4\u30c3\u30af\u307e\u3067\u3082\u3089\u3063\u3061\u3083\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f\u3002\u5bb6\u5b9d\u306b\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002<br \/>\nWith ten minutes to go before the show, the excitement was at its peak.
