They were so small and young here. 😍 I’m here with you in this journey. Wow! Seeing that schedule was a shocked. These guys really worked hard to get to where they are now. And I’m so so proud with my boys. 🥹

I'm here, man!

I love how chaotic they were here 😂 they've found a refined balance of controlled chaos now but back then they were still exploring and it was awesome to see! Toru stopped rapping because he said it was too big of a pain in the ass to do it while playing the guitar. Sadly there won't be a concert for the next album (beam of light). I don't think they've ever played it live. I personally have a few faves on the album so can't wait!

Thank you for sharing the reaction! It's been a while since I watched this concert video last time, and watching with you was much more fun :D Yes, I agree that even back then they already had a lot of talents, passion and stage presence even though they've improved a lot since then. Seeing them this young, playing in such small venues and singing about their honest feelings and dreams hits me different. There is something about their older songs and performances that makes me emotional and pumped up at the same time. I can't wait for more album and live performance reactions!

By the way, Taka said he gained weight at that time because he ate Ramen everyday.

If you want to know about the beginning of their performance styles, you can go check the lives when Taka in Johnny’s as an idol and when Toru & Ryota in their kids hip pop group called heads.

DUDE!!! lol you're seriously legendary around here and I want you to know how thankful I am personally and the community here as well!

Wow, that is very interesting. Thanks for the info. Eating ramen every day would make you put on weight. Now he is so skinny.

They actually started the band in 2005. I love how you are going through their career from the beginning so we can see how they progressed to the present. They didn't move as much as they do now because the stage was much smaller. Toru was really astute to see that Taka's voice was special so really wanted him for the band. Even back then Taka had the audience singing along. Almost all of the lyrics and music were done by Taka except for Borderline which had Toru doing the lyrics and music. In one video of them, somebody mentioned that they had not rested in 10 years. That's what it took for them to be the success that they are now. They are so awesome.

No way, man! I'm also grateful for this community, and I'm stoked to offer anything useful!

The songs you hadn’t heard in here (the last one for example) are b-side tracks from their singles. They have some goodies there too 😁 For the Beam of Light album, there’s a mini concert/live thing from 2008 so I’d suggest checking that out after that album if you want to see some of those live.

I'm so excited for you to check out their Fool Cool Rock documentary! 😊
