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.

![(2024.3.8) 羊文学 [Hitsujibungaku] - Addiction (Official Music Video)](https://img.youtube.com/vi/AteWl40-UP8/maxresdefault.jpg)
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.
Hitsujibungaku (formed in 2011 by Shiotsuka Moeka) is Moeka Shiotsuka (vocals, guitar), Yurika Kasai (bass) and Hiroa Fukuda (drums); on hiatus due to health issues (currently being filled in for by Yuna).
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.
LUNA SEA I for You Cover (PRS Custom 24). Originally released 1998年7月1日, it was a tie-up track for the J-dorama, 神様、もう少しだけ
