[Archived] Lin's 10/8 oneman

Tonight was the last 凛 -the end of corruption world- (LIN (凛 -THE END OF CORRUPTION WORLD-)) oneman of 2011. And thanks to UNDER CODE and EnTicke, some of us were allowed to watch a live stream of the event! So I thought I'd talk about it a little.

-- First, I have to say that the band's SE tracks were super cool: especially the second one, which featured operatic male and female voices chanting Latin verses (“requiem, requiem”). I really hope that one makes it to a CD someday—it's so dramatic and epic; you just have to hear it!

The band opened with 凛 (Rin), which has become their trademark song. Over the past year, they've really grown to embody the epic feeling that's embedded in that tune. At any rate, they played Continuation of dream a few songs after, and that was really great to hear live. It's so nice to see KISAKI really take the spotlight in a song!

Before Sterilization, the lights dimmed and the band could be heard scurrying around; when the lights came back up, KANATA had taken MIZUKI's spot, and MIZUKI had moved center-stage with RIKU to act as a second vocalist! Throughout the song he did little dances and sang/screamed verses in several different voices--it was really cool!

After Sterilization, the band left the stage, but REIYA remained. The lights dimmed and an SE started playing—but it turned out to be the intro to REIYA's drum solo! Not only did he play the solo, but he even had coordinated screams with certain parts of the song. It was really cool! The solo led seamlessly into Metamorphose, which was awesome as usual.

Silent To My Pain and another MC followed, and then the band played Ambient Cosmo (their newest song, sold only at these recent lives). I can't quite remember how it sounded (I wish I could!), but I do remember liking it. It was sort of in the vain of Feeling Universe, if I recall? At any rate, I'm really looking forward to hearing the official version now.

The live ended with Call Back, but then the audience ~called them back~ for an encore. The band played Flowers Bloom (MIZUKI's dances during that song... ridiculous) and then World In Flames. That second song is one of my favorites, so it was great to hear live—it was beautiful. After that song, the band left again, and the audience began their “encore” chant again.

For the second encore, the band came back in jeans and LIN (凛 -THE END OF CORRUPTION WORLD-) t-shirts. After a short MC, they played Foolish, which was by far the craziest song of the night: at one point, the staff brought KISAKI a fire extinguisher, and he began spraying the crowd and stage! But finally, as the song finished, KISAKI hit the gong (ever-present at LIN (凛 -THE END OF CORRUPTION WORLD-) lives) to signify the end of the live. As an instrumental version of World In Flames played, the guys joined hands and did a customary jump with the audience, and that was that.

Please let me know if I got anything wrong or mixed up!

-- It was a really great show! Surprisingly, [unless I missed something] they didn't really mention the activity pause or make any announcements, but I suppose that just reinforces how not-a-big-deal it is. At any rate, everything went off without a hitch, and I'm super grateful to EnTicket for allowing us to watch the oneman. Which reminds me, I have to apologize to you guys: to watch the stream, you had to buy a ticket; but they were limited in quantity, and by the time I realized that, there were only three left! So I never made a post about it, and I'm sorry ;(

But! Hopefully this was successful enough that they'll do it again (I really wish UNDER CODE would stream the New Year countdown!).

I've thought about it, but the videos are to heavy for site like MF… The only sites who accept the files are the videos-host like YT, so… Sorry again x_x (Btw, Fake Dance it's on going!)

Ah yay!! Thank you, you're brilliant :D

It might actually preserve the quality a little bit better if you upload it to a site like Mediafire, since YouTube re-converts the video. But I'm happy either way, just thought I'd throw that out there!

So… Good news : I've recorded it. Bad news : The image quality it's looooow. Good news : I'm uploading all this stuff. Bad news : It's VERY VERY VERY heavy, so it will take a loooong time. Sorry for that. Here you go, I'll give you each song once it's uploaded (and sorry again for the image quality)

SE + 1.凛 : http://vimeo.com/30244814 2. A.Hitlor. :

It's ok. At least you've tried.

It's easy to criticize, but there's never a sure recipe for success. It's not like KISAKI doesn't work for it. I think he's put tremendous effort into Lin. His greatest downfall is that he expects success too fast. I guess maybe he expected all Mago fans to just return and continue to support him in Lin.

From my personal point of view, what hurts is that he doesn't seem to appreciate how much the fans Lin does have love them. That he can stand in front of us and say so easily that it's not enough for him and that the band may not return at all is heartbreaking.

But ultimately, all we can do is continue to support him and wait for his decision...

[Archived] Lin's 10/8 oneman

I agree.

The name should not be 凛. It is impossible to search for websites, auctions, etc. Success also depends on foreign fans, so I think the name would be better as LIN.

I also agree: although Lin has more songs, there are many weak tracks. But all Phantasmagoria songs were good. Rather than publish these weak songs, Lin should try to write something better.

Finally, KISAKI should not give up. I think he wants success from Day 1, but that is impossible. I feel that he always gives up after a few years. Instead, I wish he would continue with Lin for 4 or 5 years at least.

The members are talented, and I think they would find success if they worked hard and continued. I really hope they don't disband.

I wasn't able to record it, no :( Whatever security they had kept me out. I'm really sorry!

I didn't even know it was going to be broadcasted. Did you record it ? If so, could you please share ?

[Archived] Lin's 10/8 oneman

I think this rest might be good for them. With Kisaki's health and all I've been a little worried that he was pushing himself, and the band for that matter, a little too hard. I'm just going to wait patiently and believe that they'll come back better and stronger than ever :3 After all, Kisaki's already proven that he can't stay away from the stage for long.

maybe i understand, KISAKI is not satisfied with the band's results. but hey! let's do better songs! first thing why i palm my face is the band name choosing. ok, be 凛 or Lin, exclude the rin/lin trouble, what the fuck is end of corruption world, why it needed? i know around 6-7 version of the band name, it cannot be notice easier! or just the man is confused, what is this band name correctly. even if the Lin has big potential. they released some weak song too. ~if u remember Phantasmgoria didnt release so much songs, but these hit as hell!!~ for example Freedom or Sterilization is really weak... and the songs are too long with much unnecessary part, so it can't become popular. what for waited KISAKI? lets see, i cutted the silent to my pain song to 3:48, its originally 6:06, just i cutted these parts, what is boring for a common listener, http://www.mediafire.com/?y4d7wm495ucz6pp much better ! 2nd is the lyrics. i think i didnt hear such song what in Riku doesnt sing kokoro. it always make me smile, and almost every 2nd song is love song. it can be boring. and yes, KISAKI gives up his bands always ! how they wanna be more popular and successful if he does it. really really rare if a visual kei band becomes popular in 1-2 years. hey KISAKI, stand up and work toward.

Yeah, me too. It would break my heart if they disband... But then, from what both KISAKI and RIKU just posted in their blogs, it seems kind of hopeful... maybe..? o.O

I think that Foolish has become their end of live rush song. If you listen closely on the recording you can hear the gong it in, hence the gong on stage, but I've taken it to mean that it's the end of the live pretty much XD

It was nice to see them and I didn't mind shelling out the 700 yen to do so.

[Archived] Lin's 10/8 oneman

Adding to this, what I could catch (I had to keep my volume low since my roomie was asleep), Kisaki said when they return they may not be the same members, or they may not return at all. It's all kind of up in the air it seems.

I really hope Kisaki can work things out.

Some of the fans think it's hopeful because they all said how they don't want it to end. So, we'll see. Regardless, I'll support them all whatever happens...

Damn, that's pretty bleak :( They better come back, that's all I have to say.

As far as info about the activity pause... I don't really know Japanese myself, so this is from friends who were at the live and explained what was being said (so if any of this is wrong, please correct me). They did talk about it, both here and in Osaka (I assume Nagoya as well, but I don't know anyone who went there, so I don't know). KISAKI talked about how he is not satisfied with the progress Lin has made so far, and that many times he has considered giving up and disbanding. He said that they may not come back from the pause after all. RIKU seemed to joke about that and (at least in Osaka) in a sort of joking manner talk about how this live might be the last. RIKU also mentioned that it's sad because this is the last time. The other members also talked about how they're sad, and how they're glad to have been a part of Lin over this time and have met all the fans, and so on. But they did all say that they don't want it to end and they hope to be able to come back.

I can't say what to think about this. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Well, you just had to register at that site EnTicke. Then, you bought a ticket (700 yen) and they emailed you the password. You just put in the password and you could watch.

EnTicke even made an English guide to doing it, but all the tickets sold out! I felt so bad!

I meant to take screen shots, but I forgot completely ;_;! And I would have recorded it, but it's really hard to find a program that works correctly... The one I used to use doesn't work anymore. I'm pretty sad about that.

You lucky so and so! haha

That live sounds amazing, wish I could have seen it. Every live footage + the report you've given here is exactly how I envision them to be if/when I finally get to see them myself! The swap of KANATA > MIZUKI spot with MIZUKI taking a vocal spot with RIKU must have been great :D I am really happy they played Foolish, I wish that song could have made it on to the album, but in the way the album was done I guess it wouldn't have really fit in with it. Must have been great to see that live!

Hopefully in the future they do more live streams and make them a bit more accessible to others and not so limited. Other than that, I pray for the day they do an international tour of some sort (hopefully to EU..)!

Thank you for such a detailed report! This was really so awesome to watch! I love their epic entrance XD And Foolish! Omg, I miss that so much!! Too bad they didn't do Walking in the rain, I so love RIKU's umbrella for that!! <3 And shame KISAKI didn't stage dive like in Osaka. But still... epic all around!! I have the urge to fangirl excessively, but will resist XD
