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.

This is a really great song (power ballad) with lyrics and a melody to match (the guitar solo and harmonization by Hazuki and Saki is one of the best). Click the CC button for the English subtitles. The live stream for this (on August 22, 2020) had an emotional/tearful mini chat since this was the first performance they did together after drummer Murata Tamu took a leave of absence to give birth to her 2nd child.
ELT - Dear My Friend (Fernandes STJ-75). ELT's former keyboardist Igarashi Mitsuru composed,arranged, and wrote the lyrics for this fun song (single was originally released 1997年1月22日). I wished I still had this guitar.
Pink Sapphire P.S. I Love You Cover (Fernandes STJ-75). Originally released 1990年7月25日, Pink Sapphire never really got the credit they deserved, being overshadowed by Princess Princess (the more well known all-female band at that time). The group had a lot of catchy pop rock tunes that were typical of this early 90's era. The group did receive a bit of relived nostalgia from 2012-2017 when they re-united (including their 25th anniversary in 2015). Their final performance together was in May 2023. Unfortunately in December 2023, guitarist Miyagawa Takako passed away from breast cancer.

Live edit cover of ZARD's Yureru Omoi (揺れる想い) onboard the PACIFIC VENUS (now retired) in what was a lottery limited show (I applied but wasn't lucky). Fortunately got to attend the 2004 concert at the Tokyo International Forum.
