^ Some more pics from today:

Anfiel was the first band up today at O-East at ZEAL LINK's 9th anniversary live! It's their first time ever here and this venue is more than twice as big as O-West, which was the biggest venue they have ever played in until today (they did so for their oneman in April). If you looked at Shogo's twitter you could probably tell that he was REALLY excited but also a little intimidated at the prospect of being the opening band here today XD HOWEVER I think they managed to put up a really good show! For one they really impressed my friend who's like.. a hardcore DIAURA & Arlequin fan, so I think that counts for something? Set list 1. Red&Black 2. trigger 3. ラヴァ 4. determination 5. timeless Honestly if i could pick a 5-song setlist from Anfiel's discography it probably wouldn't look very different from that lol <3333 Will update with more pics later as they come in!

oh damn this is totally my kind of vk. happy to see luccica members too :') will follow!

today is zeal link's 9th anniversary live and glamhaze performed as part of the lineup at tsutaya o-west!! Setlist today: 1. ハナムケノウタ 2. 妄想スパイス 3. あやとり 4. MISERY 5. ラストシーン After the live they had a short interview segment with ZEAL LINK's staff which was broadcasted on niconico. Here are some stills i screencapped from the interview! YES THEY JUST HAD TO INTERVIEW MY TWO FAVORITE MEMBERS RIGHT?? Among other things, they were asked what they would like to see for ZEAL LINK's 10th anniversary live event next year, to which Satoru suggested that instead of having 2 concurrent lives - perhaps have a nationwide tour event for the bands! AND Ray, being the dumbo he is, added that if that's the case he would want the tour final to be at Budokan where ALL THE BANDS DO INSTORES TOGETHER hahahaha. The staff was like: wait what, so not a final live, but an instore at Budokan?? Ray seemed so pleased with his idea that everyone couldn't stop laughing lmaoo. They also talked about how their singles are released in 9 different types (1 for each shop with a different jacket), and Ray was like "yeah it's to torture our designer" lolol. They said that it's not to make the fans buy everything but so that fans can buy the version with the design they like (so apparently I've been doing it wrong?!). Finally they also discussed their new single, and mentioned that the full PV of Last Scene is being played in shops, and that's the only place where you can see the full version for now. Hopefully they have a PV collection of some sort eventually.

on their website it's mentioned that "Snowman" will be a energetic "winter song" that makes you feel the arrival of winter, "Avalanche" is an aggressive song, and "Mastermind" is on the mellower/melodic side. but it's hard to describe vistlip songs lol, so i guess we'll just have to wait.

ユナイト(UNiTE.) new maxi single "A Little Picture" will be released on 2017/01/18.

If you missed the streaming yesterday you still can watch it at the URL. for the sake of convenience, glamhaze's segment is here: any thoughts on them? i thought they were fucking impressive (YEAH NOT BIASED) here's the set list: 1. あやとり 2. swamp 3. I say goodbye,what about you? 4. MISERY 5. ラストシーン as much as i love their ballads, i liked yesterday's setlist actually. yeah it's heavier than usual but i think it was a strategic decision made by the band to make sure the crowd can join in and have fun--especially since they were last to play and so many bands had gone before them. so it was smart to have a high-energy setlist. i mean, they probably haven't played "swamp" in 2 years?? and that's like the heaviest song in jilled ray's entire discography. the opening song あやとり was also a great choice - even though i actually haven't heard it before and had to pester a very kind glamhaze fan to find out its title lolol. no surprise that they closed with "last scene" - i'm still waiting for my cd so i haven't heard the full version, but god damn, i never realized how demanding it is to perform live >_> satoru said after that he had chest pains while singing it and was relieved he could complete the song. i hope he's ok. they have a one-man coming up at O-West next week, at which they will distribute a copy of あやとり to everyone

Some updates of recent upcoming events for our Anfiel guys Over the last month Anfiel performed in several cities on the ZLTN tour, and today marks the last of a series of instore events for their 2 concept singles "paroniria" and "Step bye step." Photo from their final "Step bye Step" instore at Takadanobaba ZL: Shogo today <3 And before i forget, yesterday was Mizuki's birthday live at Ikebukuro edge. The livehouse was fully packed!! Some old pics of Mizuki lol With Shogo. LIKE SERIOUSLY HOW SWEET IS THIS????????????? Ok so what's next for Anfiel? The next big thing on the horizon for them is the ZEAL LINK final tour tomorrow. This is a huge event held concurrently in Shibuya's Tsutaya O-East and O-West and sponsored by ZL. Anfiel will be up first (at 13:00 JST) in O-East, a large venue by vk standards. It's really kinda a big deal for them because O-East will feature bands like Royz, SCREW, DIAURA, etc. AND this will be Anfiel's first time EVER playing there. So hopefully, if they put up a fantastic show (which I have no doubt they will) and some luck, they will be able to build up their fanbase further ^^ Following which, Anfiel will gear up for their 4 "mono wa tameshi" one-man lives across the 3 major cities. This tour will still be modelled after the 'dark' and 'light' concept that they have been running with over the last few months. The idea is that for two of the 4 lives you'll get to see the "paroniria" side of Anfiel and for the other two, their "Step bye step" side. Schedule is as follows: 2016.10.15(Sat.) Nagoya ell.SIZE 2016.10.16(Sun.) Shinsaibashi FANJ 2016.10.22(Sat.) Shinjuku RUIDO K4 2016.10.23(Sun.) Ikebukuro EDGE For this tour they will also be selling some new official goods:

same!!! winter ballad probably? <3

yeah i wasn't really into gameover as well >_> i think they're better than zerohachi but i'm still a little puzzled by their concept lol. iggy is usually better than this. maybe souma should have talked less? idk. but @echo agrees with me that he's a cutie 😍 but ok i'll stop derailing the thread hahaha

Ba.Ray(ex-NEGA-->Dead Children) will commence to act as their support Ba. as of their first mini one-man live "Electronica!!" at Ebisu club aim on 2016/10/15.

2 bands? nope he left GG last year which led to their hiatus. lol i couldn't really get into most of their music tbh. of the two towa/takuya bands, SDM sounds more like Zip.er and i much prefer LANDZ. BUT when i saw them live they were LOADS of fun so that certainly helped. ritsu joining just sealed the deal i guess. i'm so happy they managed to get him though - it literally took 1 year plus for the SDM members to finally convince him to join because he was so intent on retiring after GG. seiya was like "i have no idea what takuya did to ritsu to make him agree but we're all glad he has agreed" hahaha.

Today is Junsei's birthday!! You can wish him happy birthday by tweeting him or sending him a DM https://twitter.com/junsangt/
