First oneman is held.
In later years, the band's 1993-04-07 oneman is claimed to have been their first. However, a flyer confirms that their first oneman was planned for 1992-12-23, and vocalist KöHey mentions that oneman as one of his “top important events during 1992” in the minikomi Luxurious Vol.3. It's unclear why this actual first oneman was seemingly “forgotten.”
This live is also said to be a oneman live on the flyer that this information is taken from, but it seems that that is not the case because it is widely said that their first oneman live is on 1993-04-07 instead. I assume that this live either is cancelled or simply "converted" into a live with multiple bands and delayed (yet again?).
