pop sweetheart kazu treats fans to intimate acoustic session on latest tour stop with partner songwriter jiro

several celebrity news sites have published speculations about a split between the 22 year old pop star and her long-time composer-songwriter when several sources claimed seeing the two having a heated argument that ended on both parties walking away. the rumors only grew when kazu went on tour for the first time without her frequent companion.

“yeah, maybe we have a fight or two sometimes. who doesn’t?” kazu said. “he’s my best friend and we’ve been together for as long as we can remember. it’ll take more than baseless internet gossip and some scheduling conflicts to break us up.”
it seems that whatever disagreement was had is now forgiven. on the latest stop of her tour, the concert was stopped due to technical problems. the delay lasted for half an hour, until kazu came out accompanied by jiro, with nothing more than a single microphone and an acoustic guitar.

“there were hundreds of people in the arena, and all of us went dead silent for those few songs.” a member of the audience said. “kazu haven’t fully changed into her next costume yet… and jiro, well, he never really performs on shows, you know? they sang together, and they shared the mic, and it just felt really intimate.”

the two performed acoustic renditions of some of their first collaborations until the tech crew fixed the problem and the show could go on as originally planned.

so uhhh i was listening to bleachers’ mtv unplugged session, and lorde was featured there in one of my favorite songs, and then i remembered that one time she sang an acoustic version of hard feelings and new york with jack antonoff, in the middle of her concert with the two of them just sitting on the stage. and i’ve always thought that’s something kazu and jiro would do, so… here we are, i guess.
