10/24 Depart for Osaka for the Lily Rakukidan live show

On October 24th, I was on the 8:30 AM Shinkansen heading to Osaka.
Yes, today is the release live of the 2nd album 【INDIVIDUALISM】Shinsaibashi BIGCAT", so I'm going to participate in that.
We unexpectedly decided to go for a day trip.
Although I was trembling at the thought of what I would be like on the Shinkansen on the way back, I was filled with excitement at the thought of attending Lily Rakukidan's live performance for the first time.
I took a nap to conserve my energy, and before I knew it, I had arrived at Shin-Osaka.
We met up with our friends who were going to the concert with us and first headed out to check out the venue.

Arrived at Shinsaibashi BIGCAT

First, we checked out the venue.
This is the venue where Lily Rakukidan will be performing today!
Shinsaibashi BIGCAT!

The setup had already begun, and the venue was completely dominated by the Lily Rakukidan.




Just thinking about the fact that we were about to take part in this live show made me feel excited, even though it was only lunchtime.
【INDIVIDUALISM】Release LiveSince the songs they would be playing would likely be from their second album, I had the album on heavy rotation while I was looking for lunch.
There are about five hours until the start of the live show, but[INDIVIDUALISM] Release Live in Myself!　had begun.

15:30 PM. The doors open.

This time, I had already purchased my ticket in advance, so the only additional cost was one drink (600 yen).
Registration with the Osaka Coronavirus Tracking System is required upon entry, so register while you're waiting.
Registering with this system serves as proof that you have used BIGCAT.

When the doors opened, a long line of people attending Lily Rakukidan's live performance stretched all the way down to the second floor.


At the entrance, you pay for one drink, have your temperature taken, and then you're ready to enter.
We immediately used our drink tickets and toasted and cheered!
This was about to be the beginning of a long night.

Also, here are the results of the Check Lottery and merchandise lottery that came with this ticket!
The business card set was arranged with the stage layout of this live show in mind.

Before things can settle down, we first need to secure our seats.
The venue had a decent capacity, but social distancing was maintained in light of the current situation.
There was at least one person's worth of space in front, behind, and on both sides of the seats, so it wasn't a packed concert.
This was a refreshing image in a way, and it reaffirmed to me that the organizers were making a lot of effort.

When the park opens, the Lily Rakukidan appears.
It was my first time seeing the Lily Rakukidan live, so I won't tell you the truth; I was a little nervous.
I would like to look back on the 2nd Album [INDIVIDUALISM] Release Live in Osaka with some live photos.

The moment I heard the opening notes of the first song, I was so moved that it felt like my heart was taken away.
The sound pressure and energy were so intense that it felt like an all-girls band, and the excitement rose to a fever pitch.
I have been to many live shows by various bands over the years, but I have rarely been so deeply impressed by a show.

When I listened to the audio in advance, I feltThe speed of Lily Rakukidan" was even faster during the live performance.
The sound that carried their charm spread from one end of the venue to the other.
Ruisham's drums even repaint my heartbeat

Kotone's bass runs from your toes to your brain

I was drawn in by the driving force of Natsu's guitar.

I was captivated by SAiRah's particularly striking keyboard sounds.

And Kisara and Mizuki's powerful singing and captivating dancing, which were no less powerful than the musicians, brought everything together.


The performance was filled with such energy, strength, and passion that it was easy to understand in an instant why Lily Rakukidan has been able to keep going since their debut until now.

Of this time2nd Album [INDIVIDUALISM] Release Live in OsakaIt also served as Natsu's birthday celebration, making it a rather special day.
This was Natsu's first performance of a solo song.
Natsu's solo song, performed not as part of Lily Rakukidan but as an individual, is somehow cute, unlike the powerful and cool song he performed with Lily Rakukidan, and it is a song that really brings out Natsu's cuteness.
Also, only available at today's venue,Natsu's Birthday Set" was also on sale.
This is a great value set that includes a photo book, poster, instant photo voucher, and more.

I?
Well, of course I got it!

We'll also introduce our favorite page from Natsu's photo book!

Now, the live show filled with enthusiastic energy has come to an end, but Lily Rakukidan made an important announcement at this Osaka live show.

Although this was my first time attending a Lily Rakukidan live performance, it was a very fulfilling day.
It's nice to listen to something that's well-tuned like a recording, but I was reminded that the best way to enjoy a band is to see it live.
