Photo report of one of the lives of MEJIBRAY before the hiatus!
Impact of a tour with a hiatus ad at the end of 2017!
「Where is this bustling parade going to stop?.」
I am at Akasaka BLITZ on June 18th, waiting for the final live of "National Tour of the 6th anniversary of MEJIBRAY「 HANGMAN 」", and I remember what I thought the first day that the curtain was opened on this tour.
The curtains of the place went up after the beginning of the BGM (background music) of 「HANGMAN」, and began an electric parade that seems to be familiar with that of a theme park 「Baroque Hoedown」.
「Even with this entertaining BGM, I feel that when MEJIBRAY uses this
I am in a parade on the way to the gallows in honor of "HANGMAN." 」I had a bad feeling, As if something terrible hit me. MEJIBRAY announced the suspension of activities that would have since this 2017 in the first performance of this tour.
Suddenly too much inactivity. For this reason MEJIBRAY continues to keep silent on it and its following activities. The tour could be like looking for a place to die. And the end of one of their trips, could be the live of the day of today. The atmosphere is different from normal before their concert, the second floor of Akasaka BLITZ. It seemed to be in the air.
The curtain opens after a time, with bright lights and the explosion of sounds of the SE, the members are appearing behind a colored smoke, the screams of the fans for each member was echoed. As always, the concept of the visual It can be seen in their clothes, and each member looks beautiful and without any traces of annoyance or pain, however the introduction to the first song surprises me.
The first song that was released on the track was "And Then There Were None." The title of the song is a quote from the original title of Agatha Christie's black novel "そして誰もいなくなった (And Then There Were None) ". Being the first song of the band for this live after the announcement of the hiatus, this had a lot of meaning.
The second song『パラダイム・パラドックス(Paradigm paradox)』,la letra de esta canción puede sentirse como una metáfora al hiatus . the lyrics of this song may feel like a metaphor for hiatus. This choice of the set was causing a strange terror. MEJIBRAY for this day had a balanced sound and the quality of the performance was stable, which fed that feeling of terror.
「Jump! Cool monster !!」
Tsuzuku (Vo) shouted aloud to the fans, 「VICTIM (ism)」. Since the introduction this fourth rhythm makes you jump involuntarily and dance, and the sound made the entire place tremble. The sensual female choir and the acoustic guitar, Made the fans shake with the simple sound of 「Black baccarat」 a melody full of emotions.
The final part of 「Black baccarat」』(outro), and the falsets of Tsuzuku led to 『ネペンテス(Nepenthes)』. One of the silhouette of the members emerged ahead of the light, MiA's Fuzz tone spread Completely.
The section of this number with its average melody is a masterpiece created by
Tsuzuku that puts the gooseflesh. Now the performance of Tsuzuku makes as if MEJIBRAY was hesitant, anguished and with resentment of the present, there were many fans that felt the torn chest.
The light that centered on Tsuzuku seemed to squeeze him and thus He sung a ballad that speaks of a love that finished 「EMILY」. Tsuzuku's expression when lowering the microphone when finishing singing was impressive as if it resigned to something.
In 『悲哀(hiai)』holds the lyrics of the song while singing between sobs divided by some moans and that female role, which makes embrace a feeling of despair. In「 -XV- 」the torchlight was light As if it were a religious cult and a chill spread across the spine.
Tsuzuku moaned as if he was spitting blood to his fans. MIA like an angel of Western painting sat on the dais and played the guitar.
Koichi (Ba) with his handsome countenance stared blankly at the floor.
Meto (Dr) played a closed rhythm as if it were a mechanical doll with a hypnotizing look. Mejibray was really beautiful but terrifying and made me feel again that it was a band that did his job perfectly.
With『醜詠(Shuuei)』in the middle of the game, Tsuzuku went crazy and crying while screamed.
「The ugly reality is only in your mind ！！！！！！」
He screamed upside down on the dais, like a real madman and not as if he were acting. He is too beautiful, and it is unfortunate to see him on the edge of the death because of a painful hiatus.
“I want to live ..." naki "without having to fight day by day against pain"
Tsuzuku murmured trying to stoped tears 「Nanaki」. The thrilling team of musical instruments and voice in a high tone of Tsuzuku led to a heavy rock .Tsuzuku under the microphone towards the fans and the big chorus of these was impressive.
The words that Tsuzuku repeated to the fans were "You are the life part of MEJIBRAY" and that was piercing my chest. The fans in front of me covered their faces and sobbed.
「Tokyo! ...... Thank you. you feel the death !!
「Sliver」 began with the shouts of Tsuzuku. This song is the title of the first mini album that MEJIBRAY released, in the places of the tour 「HANGMAN」 a DVD was sold with the re-recorded version.
"I swear to love all the pain, do not close your eyes. Dead slivers. "
I felt as if this lyric was prepared for this occasion to suspend activities
And what I found enigmatic and attractive was 「no matter how painful it is, I want to see this parade of death」. The response of the fans is also impressive. The tears were overflowing involuntarily, and the hand that takes the report it stops .
The live is finally entering the climax, when three cool rhythms arrive. The scream of 「FUCK! FUCK!」 And 『嘘と愚行-それもまた人間らしいって神様は笑ってるの-』. The floor was shaken with fans' pogo in 『原罪の林檎』.It was an explosion of coas, smoke and heat, when it started『枷と知能-それってとても人間らしいって神様は笑ってるの-』air Became smaller and smaller.
The last one was 「BI" name "JIKA」. The lights went from side to side and the torches were again lit. Although it was a surprising selection of songs , the last one, it was a song with unison of falsettos and guitar , MEJIBRAY is full of strength and enthusiasm that made me forget everything for a time.
"Ecstasy is adorable, adorable ......"
Tsuzuku's falsettos were like an empty dream and the curtains were closed in that same place where the magic began. The people applauded firmly, they did not move of their place, the people shouted and shouted by the encore, they were in that "parade towards the Horca" with several reactions I was left with astonishment in several moments.
Without MC, Without Encore, I was an hour and a half after the end of the live, MEJIBRAY announced a last tour before the hiatus. Tour Title, 「And Then There Were None」.
From here it will be until the end of 2017, after 200 days.
