Tears shed at the reunion ─ ─ "BanG Dream! 8th☆LIVE" Summer Outdoor 3DAYS:DAY1 Roselia "Einheit" Report

BanG Dream! 8th☆Live" outdoor summer 3DAYS DAYS DAY1: Roselia "Einheit" was held at Fujikyu Highland Conifer Forest on August 21, 2020.

Roselia (Vo. Aina Aiba, Gt. Haruka Kudo, Ba. Yuki Nakajima, Dr. Meguru Sakuragawa, Key Kabaon Shizaki) was the main act on the first day, followed by RAISE A SUILEN on DAY2 and Poppin'Party, Ami Maejima (playing Aya Maruyama of Pastel*Palettes) with RAISE A SUILEN, Morfonica, and others will perform on Day 3.

The venue, Conifer Forest, is a vast outdoor space adjacent to Fujikyu Highland, an amusement park in Yamanashi Prefecture, and a memorable venue for Roselia, who will perform on DAY 1, having held their first outdoor live "Flamme"/"Wasser" exactly one year ago. During the daytime, it was scorching hot, but the atmosphere changed drastically when the sun went down as the show time approached. The highland breeze blowing down from the back of the audience seats toward Mt.

On the day of the concert, Fujikyu Highland was hosting the collaborative event "Bandoli-Girls Band Party! Girls Band Party! in Fujikyu Highland" (July 23-September 6, 2020). I went through the park before the concert and heard the familiar voices of the characters from the attraction announcements at the site, and that alone increased my excitement for the concert.

During the past six months, the new coronavirus has forced the postponement or cancellation of many major live concerts, regardless of genre. Bandolier! has also had to postpone or cancel some of its live performances and events, including one at the MetLife Dome in May. The first step toward resumption, this outdoor live concert was held with all possible measures: temperature checks at the entrance, wearing masks, installation of the "COCOA" application to check the contact with visitors' smartphones, seats with empty seats for each seat, cheering by clapping hands, and above all, the advantage of the outdoor location with wind blowing across the sky. The event was held with all possible measures in place.

The stage was specially set up outdoors, and both sides of the stage were decorated with huge cloth decorated with roses in five different colors of the members' colors, while a flag with the logo of the live title "Einheit," which means "unity" in German, fluttered on the roof. The flag that indicates the owner of the live performance is like a Western fortress.

Merm4id from "D4DJ" appeared as the opening act. After warming up the audience with four songs including "Fujiyama Disco," a cover song perfectly suited for this venue, the five members of Roselia appeared on stage. They opened the live with "Avant-garde HISTORY" with words reminiscent of the final episode of the third season of the anime: "To express our gratitude for all the support we have received so far, we would like to thank Avant-garde HISTORY. The fact that the girls chose a technical song with a slightly slower tempo to top their set showed the confidence they have in their performance. On the screen, the anime image of Roselia standing in the Budokan was shown.

The rule for this live performance was to hold back the audience's cheers and calls and leave the cheering to the clapping and applause. When Ms. Aiba delivered words of thanks for the audience's attendance during the opening MC, it was a fresh sensation to see the applause returned for each one of them. Ms. Aiba quickly swallowed the tempo of the exchange with the audience and brought the pause closer to a normal live MC. As the closing act, Nakajima-san, who plays Lisa Imai, asked the audience to step up their applause, and the audience responded in kind, and it seemed as if the audience had come to understand how to express their emotions and tension in the intensity of their applause.

The smiles on the members' faces as they played "BLACK SHOUT" were truly sparkling, and even though they were not cheering, you could tell that their feelings were being conveyed. Mr. Kudo even surprised me with how he could smile so beautifully while playing a technical guitar solo. During the song, a special effect of water was sprayed like a fountain in the audience seats, which was only possible at a midsummer concert.

During "Ringing Bloom," Ms. Aiba poured her heart and soul into Ms. Shizaki with her back to the audience, which was impressive. This expression was made possible by the fact that the audience was watching not only the vocalists but also the relationship among the five members of Roselia. The audience's applause for Shizaki's keyboard solo showed the nuance of genuine admiration for his technique.

With the lingering echoes of "Ringing Bloom" still lingering, the audience moved on to "BRAVE JEWEL. This is one of those songs that makes me feel a big change with each live performance, and it is not only the best performed now, but also the one with the best smiles on their faces. The five members on stage communicating with each other with smiles on their faces and connecting their feelings with the audience as they perform seems to have become a big part of Roselia's charm (an amazing change considering the Roselia portrayed in the early story!) ).

The song that precedes the song, "I want you to sing LaLaLaLa in your heart," is "Safe and Sound" for Roselia, but here the members began to play "STAR BEAT! This time, however, Mr. Aiba sang with a rock taste and really got into the song. However, the skit ended when Mr. Aiba fell short to Nakajima-san's group's somewhat listless chorus. After Ms. Aiba said happily, "I would like to stand with Poppipa on the same stage someday," the band went on to "Safe and Sound" this time. The strong and gentle voice and the strange music made us feel that "this is how Roselia should be! I feel that Roselia has to be like this. The blue and purple jewel-like square lights reminded me of last year's live.

The focus of "Yakusoku" was on the relationship between Yukina and Lisa, with Ms. Aiba and Ms. Nakajima reaching out to each other and exchanging glances. From the whispered singing of Ms. Nakajima's "Believe in me until the end," as if the end of her singing voice was fading away, the two voices melded together powerfully with the single word "It's a promise.

Roselia's standard performance format is to intersperse their unique worldview with hilarious variety videos that accentuate the appeal of both sides.

Here, the well-known "character scrap" or "Don't break the character setting! The first half of the "5 Together" video was shown. In this game, the five members play the roles of their characters in a challenge, and the member who breaks the most character settings is punished.

The gods of laughter descended on the audience as they watched Mr. Shizaki catch fish one after another during the challenge to catch fish within the time limit, then Mr. Aiba suggested switching places with Mr. Shizaki, then Mr. Shizaki caught the most fish even after changing places.

In the second half of the event, "The 3rd General Election of Girl Bands - Which band would you like to perform with? ～The second half started with "Break your desire," a commemorative song for Roselia winning the first place in the "3rd Girls Band General Election: Which band would you like to live with? The speedy aerial images from the drone were shown on the screen to accompany the fast-paced song. Due to the high density of the event, only about 5,000 people attended this live performance, compared to the capacity of about 18,000. Sakuragawa-san, who performed the high-tempo songs with great gusto, seemed pleased with his performance, smiling wryly as he said, "This is the fastest tempo song I've ever played.

During "Neo-Aspect," a huge special effect of flames shot up in front of the stage. The heat was so intense that one could feel the chill in the air even from the audience seats, and it was not hard to imagine the tremendous hot wind blowing over the stage. However, Aiba's singing voice and eyes, which could be seen through the shimmering flames on the screen, were simply powerful and direct. The song "PASSIONATE ANTHEM" followed in quick succession. The energy and persuasive power of the song never cease even after playing their trump cards one after another. When Mr. Aiba lowered his posture as if he was pounding his fist on the ground, the strongest pillar of fire of the day covered the stage.

The happiest moment in the world

Aiwa expressed her gratitude to the audience by saying, "I haven't been able to perform live for a while, but I'm glad to see you all here," followed by a pleasant chat.

Following the talk, "ONENESS" was sung as one of the songs to show "Unity = Einheit". As the air in the outdoor venue began to get slightly humid, the five members on stage moved violently in the darkness.

Sanctuary" was performed against the backdrop of a fantastic aerial video of Mt. Fuji in the background. In the sanctuary dyed in blue light, Roselia sang dedicatedly to their dear ones. During the MC at this timing, they introduced their new costumes which were changed during the performance. According to Rinko, the dark image of dark green and the gothic black crown were the key points.

At this point, it was announced that the live was coming to an end. When the five members greeted the audience in character, Kudo, who plays Sayo Hikawa, choked up with tears and said, "It's been a long time since I was able to perform live, and I'm happy to see all my fans like this. I am happy to be able to perform live for the first time in a long time and to meet all my fans like this. I felt again that they are a very good team, as Sakuragawa-san, who plays Ako, immediately painted the air with her sparkling bright smile and words.

The audience was soon treated to "R" with Aiba's confident, even confident, words, "At this moment, I will make you the happiest person in the world. The highest notes of "WE ARE" seemed to cut through the darkness of the night, which had become surprisingly deep compared to when the live started. I grinned at the sight of the "WE ARE" and the phrase sung by Mr. Shizaki and Mr. Kudo, "The figure we wear is resolute and leaps away from the flying darkness.

During the last song of the main part, "FIRE BIRD," a live scene of the anime Roselia was shown on the screen. The difference between the screen and the venue is that the real venue awaiting the last song is dyed a deep red all over. All the passion and gratitude of the bandleaders who had gathered today seemed to be reflected in every single red light.

The finale of the second half of "Kyarakuzu," which was played during the encore, was an extremely difficult challenge in which the five members had to simultaneously perform the "tome-ken" (stop a ball by sticking it into the tip of a stick-shaped sword) with a kendama. The challenge lasted several hours, and Mr. Shizaki's friends supported him as he struggled to get it right. When the five of them finally succeeded together, everyone was so moved that they forgot about "character crumbs.

The answer song for the five members, who appeared in response to a hand-clapping encore, was "Song I am. The chorus of four members and the wordless heat of the audience accompanied Ms. Aiba's spirited singing, as if she was proving herself with her singing voice.

At this point, a new announcement was made about a joint live performance by Roselia and RAISE A SUILEN. First, an online live "Rausch und/and Craziness -interlude-" will be held in December 2020 as a prelude, followed by a real live "Rausch und/and Craziness II" in early 2021. Prior to this, the release of Roselia×RAISE A SUILEN "Rausch und/and Craziness" live Blu-ray on November 18, 2020 was also announced. The call for "those who will come to the joint live" was met with a resounding YES from the full house of lights waving their full power.

The last number was "Hot Color Starmine. When a pull shot was shown on the screen, the dazzling lights looked like a flood of golden light released into the night darkness. The depth and clarity of the side view camera images were impressive because of the outdoor location of Conifer, and the way Ms. Aiba's fluttering black hair left a shimmering afterimage in the light was very vivid.

The way Ms. Aiba's fluttering black hair left a shimmering afterimage in the light was very vivid. and countless fireworks shot up from the ground to the sky. The last number and the scene were the same as last year. However, the scene was still the same here and now. Everyone present at the event knew how special it was when Mr. Aiba said, "I believe we can create wonderful memories together last year, this year, and in the future.
