Where are you all watching from? Home? Must be.
Where, where.
There's a pretty big time lag on this.
Because of the timelag I'm not sure if we should wait or just move on, it's a bit of an issue.
Oh, here they come.
Y: "Home." Oh, here they come.
A: Haha, "home" "home" "home" "home" ... Y: "Home." Oh, here they come.
A: Haha, "home" "home" "home" "home" ... Y: "Home."
A: Haha, "home" "home" "home" "home" ...

AK: "Homehomehomehome"... H: Home? Everyone's at home, huh. I see.
H: Home? Everyone's at home, huh. I see.
Uh, I think everyone can see this but the wall is white, right?
Since it's white, we would like to get you all to change your comments from white to black. Can you do that?
Can you?
AK: Nice.
There really is a big time difference.
H: Oh sweet, you can make it other colors too.
Wonderful, thanks.
Right, moving on.
Well, today we did something, didn't we.
A: We walked.
Right, we walked around, we did a CD shop circuit...
We went around Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ikebukuro, Harajuku and so on. How was it, Asanao?
A whole lot of people came, huh.
Yeah, more than I expected.
I was a bit surprised.
H: When we first went to Tower Records Shibuya, we were a bit hurried but --
First was Zeal Link I think...
H: When we went to Zeal Link there wasn't anybody...
Ah, I wasn't sure what to make of that.
Well, there was one guy who had waited for us.
Well, though I was grateful for that, when we got to Tower Records it was great.
From there, dozens of people kept coming along.
Did anyone watching come? Say if you did.
AK: I saw some say they were at Harajuku...
There's not a lot who went...
Not that many... I see.
What were you all doing today? Did you buy EXODUS-EP?
Let us know if you bought it.
Hella people bought it!
H: They really did. Thank you.
A: Thank you.
H: Uh, this is a request from the staff but can you tell us your ages? A: Thank you.
H: Uh, this is a request from the staff but can you tell us your ages?
A: 20... 30... 24...
H: So fast. A: 20... 30... 24...
A: 20... 30... 24...
22... There's a lot of them in their 20s.
H: Lots in their 20s. 22... There's a lot of them in their 20s.
H: Lots in their 20s.
People older than me are gradually... getting less common.
AK: Whoa, so many...
A: Everyone's in their 20s.
H: So young! A: Everyone's in their 20s.
H: So young! A: 50!
A: 50! H: 50?! That's amazing...
H: 50?! That's amazing...
AK: 222 years old... H: 50?! That's amazing...
AK: 222 years old...
H: Surprisingly young, I see. Thank you.
Well, uh, we still have a minute of this so...
Y: Did you guys go somewhere for summer vacation?
H: What was that, Yusuke? One more time?
Did you go somewhere for summer vacation?
H: Ah, let us know if you went somewhere. Did you go somewhere for summer vacation?
H: Ah, let us know if you went somewhere.
Y: Where'd you go?
AK: I went to Summer Sonic.
Awesome.
H: You went? Awesome.
H: You went?
Yeah... in Osaka.
H: Who was the best?
Well, of course Metallica was... slick.
H: Slick?
Slick.
H: Nice.
It was.
AK: Parasoni.
A: Parasoni! AK: Parasoni.
A: Parasoni!
H: Right, we did Parasoni. Parasonic is also... something Sonic, right?
AK: Right.
H: Paradox Sonic... I see. Well, if you can go to lynch.'s lives tomorrow and the day after that would be good, huh...
AK: Someone said "I'm going to Lagoon Hachiro"...
Let's move on to the next topic, I guess.
Alright, today to celebrate the release of our new work, EXODUS-EP, we're doing an hour-long special program, so please enjoy til the end.
So today is our first time hosting a nico live stream.
We'd like to introduce what kind of band lynch. is once more.
This'll come up on the screen.
There it is!
Wonderful. So Reo's gonna read it.
R: Alright. In August 2004, lynch. was formed by Hazuki, Reo and Asanao.
H: Great.
R: In December.... I'm gonna do this fast!
In December, we started live activities with our first performance at Nagoya Club Quattro.
In April 2005, we released our first album "greedy dead souls."
This was a pain to make.
H: It really was. I think it's a famous story now that Asanao overslept.
R: Ah, the legend...
H: On the first day of recording he overslept and didn't come...
H: I really thought he was just bailing.
A: No... I... have no idea why I overslept.
It's not that I had a long night before or anything like that....
I just... simply... overslept.
And when I woke up... I was like oh. Just "oh."
Better call them.
H: How late were you?
About two hours...
H: That's all?
Yeah!
H: Two hours... Asanao doesn't really answer if we call him when he's late...
No, I d-- well lately, yeah, that's right...
H: Let's do the next part.
So... ah, Yusuke's already in at this point!
July 2006, he was added as an official member and we became a quartet...
Oh, the singles! The three month consecutive single releases... we did that.
Y: We did!
R: We did.
H: At this point, Akinori, were you in middle school?
AK: .... No! At this time I was... how old?
H: Were you even born before 2006? 7 years ago?
AK: It was my coming of age ceremony (at age 20.)
H: What?! No way. Hakama!
Hakama... I wore a gold hakama....
R: You did?
Y: A gold one...?!
H: I see, let's go to the next part...
Ah, this came out, it's well-known. "THE AVOIDED SUN." April, 2007.
It was that long ago, huh. The tour final was our first O-WEST oneman, I remember, we sold it out the day of.
The encore tour final was sold out, at Daikanyama UNIT. Is that right?
Well it must be...
R: "Is that right"...?!
H: Next.... Ah! "URGE TO DROWN," that oneman tour is super nostalgic...
The one with the final at Liquid Room. Then we did "THE DIFFUSING IDEAL"...
And we're into 2009. We went back to being totally self-produced in our live activities and music... Yeah, the company we were with...
A: We broke it off with them so hard...
H: We were just done.
A: Broke it off so hard.
R: We really did...
A: Like "we'd be better off doin' it our ***' selves!"
H: You're really going for it today...
R: He really is!
Then in July we announced "SHADOWS," and until the end of the year continued with big tours.
Next... 2010, our shocking "last indies announcement."
I was super nervous about this, I remember.
At Diamond Hall, during the encore...
Y: I was nervous too. At Diamond Hall, during the encore...
At Diamond Hall, during the encore...
As a bandman, major debut announcements are a really famous thing.
At the time... Well I say that, but I mean bands from twenty years ago, would go to Shibuya Kokaido...
All like "we have a serious announcement"... "we're going major."
But we did it at Nagoya Diamond Hall. The holy grounds for Nagoya bands.
And now this is where we're at. Yeah. Let's go to the next part.
Ah, we released "JUDGEMENT" and had our last indies tour, "THE JUDGEMENT DAYS."
H: I got...
Y: That was rough. H: I got...
Y: That was rough.
H: I disappeared in the middle of that.
I sung a little too much... got sick and stuff in the middle and had to pull out. Caused a lot of problems for everyone, sorry! Thank you!
And then... Akinori! This is where we announced he'd be an official member.
Were you nervous?
AK: I was hella nervous!
H: At the time you were still a step distant from us.
Yeah, I was.
H: When you became a member you relaxed and got... this magnetism.
Right.
A: Recently you're forgetting your inexperience.
Should I take a step... a half step back?
H: You've gotten a bit carried away.
I have.
H: You really have.
Should I not?
Let's go on to the next part.
2011. Here it is. May was our first Shibuya AX oneman. Nostalgic.
Then we released our major debut album, "I BELIEVE IN ME"... This is a well-known one.
And then we did "THE BELIEF IN MYSELF," then "MIRRORS." Remember "MIRRORS" at Alta, guys?
What the hell is with this band, no one even answered!
We put out "MIRRORS," then played it at Alta. You can watch that on YouTube.
Then "THE TRUTH IN A MIRROR." AX was a great live.
Y: It was good.
H: Can we move to the next one? Alright.
It's here! Zepp Tokyo! Then we did "INFERIORITY COMPLEX." Did?! I mean released..
Then "THE FATAL EXPERIENCE" and "LIGHTNING".... that's already so recent.
Y: So recent.
H: Then we did "SEIZE THE MOMENT." Next, please.
"BALLAD!" Recent as hell.
Then DiverCity. Then June... we're already here, huh... the male/female/member's club SHADOWS only "LIMITED 3 DAYS."
Then August! Our first nico live program is being broadcasted.
That was quick!
A: It was fast.
Y: So fast.
Asanao, can I get you to talk more?
Me?
Y: What's a live you guys can't forget?
H: One we can't forget... Hmm...
R: What I always answer when this topic comes up is the SHADOW IMPULSE final at Akasaka Blitz.
H: Why's that?
We broke it off real hard, and the production team we had before was done, so we had to do it ourselves, yeah?
H: That's right.
But... even though that environment was great, I was still quite uneasy.
H: I see.
I wanted that but I was still really uneasy, worrying about whether or not we'd be accepted... it was like when we'd just started.
I was so worried but as we toured it turned into confidence.
The final at Akasaka Blitz sold out, and it was a great live.
That's when I realized we could do it.
I thought it was a good thing that I believed in you guys.
Everyone's writing such nice comments, write more.
They're coming. "Reosa~n." "Your hair's gotten longer!" It's true.
R: It has.
So, everyone watching, I've got a question. Which live was best?
Please comment with that. Which live can't you forget?
AK: I wonder.
H: When was it?
Come at us.
What are we supposed to do while we wait for comments...
... "I'm Thai" ...
I see..
"Merrynch."...
"SUNPHONIX"...
Lots for SUNPHONIX... well that's where Reo dived...
"AX"... "38 years old"...
R: "The first Hakodate live"...
Diamond Hall, of course...
A: But there was a lot for Liquid Room during FATAL EXPERIENCE.
H: SEIZE THE MOMENT?
The first day? Was it the final?
A: The final.
H: Really?
It was good.
H: I don't.... really remember it...
A: That's horrible.
So do you remember them all?
A: I mostly remember them.
H: That's amazing...
R: What?
I'm not telling.
A: "Heartland"...
H: Oh yeah... R: We did Heartland too, huh.
R: We did Heartland too, huh.
I see...
"Please react to the comments." Oh, sorry... We've been scolded, sorry about that.
Yusuke isn't talking much, is he.
AK: C'mon, Yusuke.
Y: Yeah... well... yeah... uh huh.
AK: Ah, Asanao dived at Liquid Room.
H: That was during SEIZE THE MOMENT?
Yeah, at Liquid Room.
Is that why it was good? Or did you dive cause it was good?
Well... nah, I didn't do it cause it was good...
It was just the right environment to dive.
H: The right environment, huh.
It was crowded and a good distance to jump to..
H: Isn't it always?
But it would be scary to jump at Zepp...
Zepp?! It would be pretty rough with Zepp's capacity, yeah...
H: Right, I asked "why did you jump"...
A: "Cause I felt like it."
H: "It was a beautiful dive."
"How does it feel to dive?"
I used to do it a lot but not at all now...
Y: AK is the one who does it often...
A: AK does it lots.
AK: Yeah...
H: How's it feel?
H: AK, you're good at it now but you used to really suck.
Right, after the live ended I would always be like what the hell was that dive today...
I'd have a review meeting...
R: A dive review meeting?
I would stop for a bit before diving...
I would hesitate...
You'd put your leg on the rail and just kind of hop... it was really uncool.
AK: ... I'm sorry.
H: You don't do that much anymore.
A: What about Blitz?
H: SHADOWS? Or I BELIEVE IN ME?
AK: The one on the DVD (il inferno)?
A: Was that a failure?
AK: That was...
H: It was. R: That was a failure.
R: That was a failure.
AK: When I stopped?
A: Your speed just like stopped as you were about to jump...
AK: That was... a signal to say "hey, I'm gonna jump."
R: Ah, okay.
But they didn't seem to notice...
H: If that's the case, I understand.
AK: That was it. From here on I'll go without hesitating.
H: Well, Yusuke's dives are.... well...
He's so light, so he floats.
He can be supported by girls right away.
A: He's like a mannequin. Airily floating around...
H: Like Laputa.
A: He seems so light.
H: Not Laputa, Nausicaa. When Ohmu does this with Nausicaa...
I want to go all the way to the back.
H: Then back?
Then back.
H: Mannequin... in your Nausicaa/mannequin way,
go all the way to the back and then return.
Y: "How many kilos?"
Someone asked how many kilos you are.
Y: My weight...?
I've gained some recently.
H: About 45kg?
Not at all, I've reached 50.
H: What?!
Yep.
H: Wow.
I've gotten to 50kg.
H: Of course, since you're in your 30s now...
Yeah, my 30s... well, I'm 32.
H: You've gotten chubby.
Yep.
H: In the 50kg range?
Y: Yes.
H: Exactly 50?
51 or 52... I've gained weight.
AK: How about when you were thinner?
I was always in the 40 range. 45 and above.
AK: Wow.
A: Everyone, please write your weight.
AK: How many kilos?
H: Everyone post their weight.
Y: Please do.
Reo and Asanao are... ripped.
R: We're muscley.
I'm not at all, but I'm getting a bit bigger here.
A: But you're not training.
I'm not.
Y: "150 kg"...?
Comments are flooding in...
Y: "As many as 3 apples," yep [Hello Kitty's weight]
H: Lots in the 50 kg range... "99 kilos".... "27kg"...
You'd have to still be in middle school.
Not even middle school, elementary.
I see. "Asanao's legs are big!"
A: Shut up!
Y/AK: "Show us your muscles..."
R: "You've gotten muscles lately."
AK: They wanna see everyone's muscles.
R: Muscles?
H: How about Asanao? Well it's really just these two..
Just Reo and Asanao.
I don't have that much...
R: "Your arm is hard"...
H: Asanao looks like a delinquent.
Y: Gang...
H: He's super scary looking.
AK/Y: A foreign gang...
"Hazuki has no muscles," yeah, I know that well.
R: You do it too, Hazuki.
I have none at all.
Nothing even changes. Compared to when I do this...
R: Well, something's sticking out.
AK: You're so white.
R: Yusuke?
Y: I don't have any either.
H: He's got the least of anyone.
R: Amazing.
R: Does AK have them?
R: Not really...
H: His tattoo is too scary.
