Just last week, they finished the 2013 Live Tour AWAKE with a show in Hong Kong and before that is Nippon Budokan, which will be produced into the DVD out in March! The setlist was specially changed for this concert: instead of covers in solo performances (Keita "Sometimes I Cry", Ryohei "No One" and Ryuichi "Viva La White Girl"), they performed their own solo project! KEITA did Magic and Slide'n'Step -Extended Mix- with special guest SKY-HI. Ryohei picked up 2 parts from his dance showcase "The Shot" (which is a piece of art, trust me). Ryuichi brought his own band, ALL CITY STEPPERS, and they performed the first single "Precious Girl" and the un-released lead song for their March album, "WITCH" while showing the PV (Yeah they are having an album. Hell yeah).
I think the idea is brilliant, especially when the original solos cannot be kept in the production of this DVD anyway.
Also during the concert, A LOT of news was announced and it makes me (and my wallet) cry in desperation. Let me make a timeline:
+January:
January 10: w-inds. LIVE TOUR "AWAKE" at Nippon Budokan
January 19: w-inds. LIVE TOUR "AWAKE" in Hong Kong
+February:
February 21: RISING FESTIVAL-GET INTO THE GROOVE- (ALL CITY STEPPERS)
February 23: Charity event for Filipino typhoon affected children (w-inds.)
+March:
March 5: ALL CITY STEPPERS first album 「SEXY VIRGIN RIOT」
March 12-April 26: Musical "LOVE NEVER DIES" (Tachibana Keita)
March 14-29: ALL CITY STEPPERS -SEXY VIRGIN RIOT LIVE TOUR-
March 19: w-inds. LIVE TOUR "AWAKE" at Nippon Budokan DVD / Blu-ray
March 19-23: WASABEATS (Dance show with Chiba Ryohei)
+April: "The Shot" 2 (Chiba Ryohei). Undetermined date.
+2014 Summer: w-inds. LIVE TOUR 2014
Plus KEITA is going to add something in. Soon.
HOW CRAZY IS THAT.
You can find tons of links to gorgeous photos and videos of Budokan and Hong Kong concerts in my Twitter timeline. Now watch this new PV of ALL CITY STEPPERS which is just out tonight, and they are damn kakkoi.
I will just leave this one here as a final greeting:
