Live edit from Animelo Summer Live 2006 -Outride- at Nippon Budokan on 2006.7.8
Took over 18 years to make this composite edit 🥴😂. Circa 2006 (Hekiru's 300th memorial live performance at Zepp Tokyo) + 2008 cover (ESP Ltd MH which I no longer own). That show was also the last I did event staffing for.
Live opening 2024 & 2023; ONE OK ROCK began doing these opening intros into songs transition starting around 2015 or 2016 tours. 2024 is from their Premonition tour (a really heavy jam that can get the adrenalin rushing) at Ajinomoto Stadium where I transitioned it to the more pop rock jam session they did for 2023's Luxury Disease tour at Tokyo Dome, leading into the guitar cover portion.

3rd track off of their December 12, 2023 album (4th major album) "12 Hugs (Like Butterflies)".
As soon as I heard the guitar tone of the opening riff (with the distortion and "atmospheric" groove), I immediately took a liking to this song before hearing the entire thing. This official music PV released a few months later (March 8, 2024) cemented the deal.
