echo

Yay so happy to hear you like them too!!!! I was so sure that I'm the only fan of this band here hahaha (except echo, cos i make her like all my bands anyway LOLOL)
 
Their first single is still available at ZEAL LINK for just 1058 yen! That's a steal for 4 songs imo I really love their lyrics too! They are so fun/positive and all about daring to dream~
 
Here's a segment from one of Ruimaru's recent blogs which I feel captures the spirit of this band wonderfully:
 
 
 

Cool! Thank you! I'm glad to hear their lyrics are fun and positive. Sometimes I come across upbeat-sounding bands and the lyrics are still depressing lol So this is nice and refreshing! haha When I get a job, I'll buy their single!
 
Thanks for translating that. They sound awesome!! They need more fans.
I can't wait to get my hands on their music and listen to it!!

TRA TRA TRA finally announced the details of their first full album as well as the Hiroki birthday/album launch event!
 
Unfotunately it's not another oneman like I was hoping for, but it's probably smarter to have a taiban if they want more people to hear them and buy their album. 
 
AND FINALLY A PV!!! 
I'm really glad they're making UNCHAIN the PV!!! It was really good when they played it at the oneman!!
 
I'm really excited for this!!!!

I'll translate the members' disbandment comments when i'm in a better state of mind.

Alright guys. Here it is. My thoughts/experience of FoLLoW's last one-man. 
It's not really a live report cos I suck at writing those. Basically just random things I remember and feelings I felt. I've divided it so you can kind of skip to w/e you're more interested in lol
 
First of all, I want to thank @hiroki for introducing me to this band. If not for him I would never have fallen in love with Masashi and FoLLoW and would definitely not have experienced their last one-man. I'm so so so so so so so grateful!!!! <3333333333333
 
Disclaimer: all quotes are basically me translating my memory of their Japanese into the way that I would say things. Don't quote me as if they said these exact words ><
 
some words that might be helpful to know:
buppan - the tables where they sell goods/merchandise kamite - right side of the stage from the audience's POV, as in the side the lead guitarist usually stands shimote - left side of the stage from the audience's POV, as in the side where the 2nd guitarist and bassist usually stand satsueikai - photo session with the bandmen. Usually after you've bought a certain amount of merch or if you pull an atari cheki or something  
Alright, here we go. I wrote a shit ton so... prepare yourselves!!
(Also, I realize say "like" a lot. Deal with it. I can't help myself lol)

Also here's my post-live and satsueikai experience for those who are interested lol:
 
Surprisingly I'm not as sad as I thought I would be. I don't feel empty or devastated. If anything I feel really full and positive lately. It didn't feel like a last live. Masashi kept saying いつも通り and I think they really tried to keep things the way they always do it. I've only seen them a few times so I don't know if they really kept everything the same as usual, but I think they were able to. Of course we all cried, but not for very long. We all had a lot of fun and even though it was the last live, it felt more like a "until next time" and a "we'll meet again someday." I hope I really do get to meet them one day. Even if it's not as a band. I want to be able to tell Masashi that I'm living a happy life ♡ I really hope they all find their own happiness as well. I feel like they've changed something in me. I'm not sure if it's just cos the live is still so recent, but I hope this feeling and my new positivity can last a long, long time. I'm so glad I was able to meet Follow, even if it was at the end of their band activities. It's not how long you've known someone, it's the depth of the connection, the moments you share, and how they make you feel. I know Follow is a band that I'll never forget.

Masashi just posted a video of right before the last one-man:
 

弾丸 NO LIMIT (Dangan NO LIMIT) announced at their free one-man live "FREE the BULLET" at Shibuya REX on 2016/12/11 that new maxi single "BULLET" will be released on 2017/02/08 (2 TYPE).
 
Limited edition (1,800yen) will include CD+DVD, and regular edition (1,500yen) will include CD only.

Based on personality, eh.... I felt like they did such a good job as a band though and I do know it's always a  bands dream to get bigger and bigger but I did hope they would stick around because they made such wonderful music.... Honestly being in this scene makes me sad at times because there are so many bands that make such beautiful music and disband before those that make ok music or maybe just not at the caliber of those that do disband...
 
I mean everyone knows by now that I fell in love with Pinocchio I mean that was basically the first song I heard by them and the song that got me the most attracted to them or basically anyone in such a long time... They hit me hard and I wanted the best for them. If this is the best thing for them right now then I'm glad they made it thus far but I do hope by some miracle Masashi can't live without music and brings them back in the future... I mean that is all I can say at this point but I do hope the best for everyone else if this does not happen.... Fight on FOLLOW<3.... I'll miss you dearly<3<3<3

I'm literally sitting here eating mashed potatoes with tears in my eyes because that was so beautiful
 

Masashi wrote a letter to all fans, which he read aloud on stage last night after the encore.
 
Here's what he had to say:
 
 

Setlist for their last oneman yesterday @ HOLIDAY OSAKA:
 



 
Flowers
 




 
Group shot

 
Last comment from the band
 
Thank you FoLLoW! You will remain in my heart forever

Here's the set list for Autumn Cup tour final @ Tsutaya O-West
 

 
So apparently I've been under the impression that the tour was called "August Cup" but it's actually "Autumn Cup" LOLOL. BUT I swear Shogo himself said August Cup once so I'm just gonna blame him for that mistake (i mean, he couldn't even remember the title of Step bye Step at their last one-man hahahah)
 
Anyway the 2nd round of reservation for the 1/22 BLAZE tickets has closed. So it's 'normal sales' now - which means C tickets aka you go in last.
 
Their December schedule features some major end-of-the-year events that culminate in the stylish wave countdown on 12/31. Oddly enough they have no lives for around 2 weeks in the middle of Dec (a busy time for most bands). I'm guessing they're taking the time to recuperate from their hectic schedule, or planning something to announce at their 2nd anniversary one-man. I'm more than happy with either!
 
Speaking of which, the full PV and track previews for Lamplight=melody are out!!
 
ANY THOUGHTS???????????
 
 

I discoverd them recently and they are very interesting ! Hope they will be creative enough for a LP.

Woot Woot now we get to see everything<3... I'm glad he at least made 40
