THE ORAL CIGARETTES × SCANDAL "ALL MY LIFE TOUR 2025" at Zepp Haneda_Live Report (*Contains Spoilers)

Hello.

I'm XXUX.

As the title suggests, the other day,

THE ORAL CIGARETTES and SCANDAL's two-man live—I went to it!!!

This concert is a The Oral-hosted organized joint gig tour

"ALL MY LIFE TOUR 2025"

It is a tour with that title, visiting 7 locations nationwide.

The one I went to this time was the Tokyo Zepp Haneda performance.

The joint gig guest is SCANDAL!!!!

19 years since formation, and reaching their 20th anniversary next year, they have successfully performed at venues ranging from live houses to arenas, gaining popularity not only in Japan but also overseas, and they are a leading, highly popular Japanese girls' rock band that has kept running without ever taking a hiatus or changing members until now.

I have The Oral and SCANDAL as bands I've loved for a long time, and I've always, always, always wanted them to do a joint gig but even though they'd be at the same festivals, it was hard for them to actually perform together and I was wondering when they would, but actually, at the event hosted by The Oral last year called PARASITE DEJAVU, SCANDAL's appearance was decided and it happened, but... this event actually had various things happen... and after that The Oral also went on hiatus once and in the end I didn't get to see much interaction with SCANDAL but... a year later... their joint performance was realized once again!!!

Moreover, SCANDAL is appearing in Tokyo. I thought, I absolutely have to go!, so I rejoined The Oral's fan club, which I had quit during the COVID pandemic and applied for the lottery, but I failed the first round, but even so, I won the ticket in the second round and was able to go!!!

I mean, that intro was long!!! Let's get to the main part quickly!! (Even though I wrote it myself)

So, this time I'll be talking about my experience going to the two-man live show of THE ORAL CIGARETTES and SCANDAL in my own way!!!

Here we go!! Follow me!! (Who are you?)

The venue scene

Alright, it's starting soon!

But before that... please check the following points before reading the content from here on.

① The live report is entirely my personal opinion
② Since SCANDAL is only appearing at this Tokyo performance, I will be writing heavy spoilers
③ The Oral's tour is still ongoing, so if you don't want to know spoilers, please only look at the SCANDAL part or close this article immediately
④ I will write the members of The Oral by their nicknames (Takuya Yamanaka -> Yamataku, Akira Akiraka -> Akira, Shigenobu Suzuki -> Shige, Masaya Nakanishi -> Masayan)
⑤ There is a possibility that there are some differences in the content of the MC and the words the members said, so please view this as 'they said something like this' (in addition, there are parts that are missing)
⑥ If I wrote 'content they clearly didn't say' regarding the MC, I will correct it, but I will not accept overly detailed complaints like 'the ending of this word is different!!, the expression is different!!, one character is different!!' (In the first place, can you remember every single word!! ← Don't get defensive before the complaints even come)

Please be aware of this in advance.

Well, thank you very much for waiting. Here is the main content. Enjoy.

SCANDAL

The first act was the guest, SCANDAL. When the showtime arrived, the venue went dark, and a cute SE featuring the sound of a dog barking? and an acoustic guitar began to play. As soon as the lights came on, the members appeared, and the live show began!!

Vocalist HARUNA, who usually holds a guitar, performed with just a microphone.

Saishu Heiki, Kimi was the first song!! This was my first time hearing this song live, and it was incredibly cool!! Especially the way HARUNA looked during the final "bang bang" part was just too cool...!! (I hope those who were there understand what I mean...!)

After that, HARUNA picked up her guitar, and the next song was another classic, Take Me Out. This song is so much fun, and singing along with everyone is a blast. Also, it was cute seeing the three of them—HARUNA, MAMI, and TOMOMI—stepping along to the beat.

And the third song was, surprisingly, Shunkan Sentimental. It's the theme song for "Fullmetal Alchemist", which every anime fan knows!!! Aren't they going too hard from the very beginning?! It's the best!! But what surprised me was that, in this song—or rather, at a SCANDAL concert—a crowd surfer appeared, lol. As fans might know, there are absolutely no moshing, crowd surfing, or circles at SCANDAL concerts. If anything, there's just some light headbanging. So, it felt kind of fresh.

Here, they took a break for an MC and talked about their relationship with The Oral Cigarettes.

It started when MAMI first spoke with Igari from HEY-SMITH at a drinking party for band members hosted by him, and then she first talked to Yamataku from The Oral Cigarettes, and they have been connected for about 8 years now. It's amazing they've had a connection for that long. Anyway, MAMI herself goes out for drinks with Yamataku and Shige in their private time. And HARUNA said, "I always thought The Oral Cigarettes and SCANDAL would have great chemistry, but even though we were often at the same festivals, we rarely performed together and I couldn't quite find the way to open that door... but The Oral Cigarettes kicked it open for us!!" The Oral Cigarettes, you guys are the best!!

After hearing about their relationship with The Oral, the music resumed. However, when it was time for the next song, HARUNA missed her cue and she was so cute when she panicked saying, "Wait a second! I don't like this gap!" Then TOMOMI said with a smile, "That was the staff's fault" (which was actually kind of scary lol).

Pulling herself together, the next song was Plum. This was my first time hearing this song... well, actually, now that I listen closely, I feel like I might have heard it before... but anyway, this song was incredibly good...!!! It's a love song, but the lyrics and sound evoke such a sense of longing that it's just a pleasure to listen to. I quite like sad love songs sung by women. I think there is a beauty that can only be expressed by women.

I'm posting the song here, so please give it a listen if you're interested.

HARUNA switched back to just the microphone, and the next song was one more time. The lighting for this song was incredibly beautiful. Also, we all danced. It's a fun song.

Here, they took another break for MC, and HARUNA herself mentioned that when she was invited to The Oral Cigarettes' hosted event last year,"There were parts of the lyrics of the next song that really resonated with my own feelings, and I performed it with the hope that being invited by The Oral wouldn't be the first and last time, that we could continue to be invited again, and that we could push each other to improve as bands."my own feelingsThe song she performed withHighlight no Naka de Bokura Zutto. This was also my first time hearing this song, and I had the impression that it wasa song that could only be written by them now that they have grown into adults(personal opinion). It is packed with various emotions.

I'll post the song here too, so please listen if you're interested.

The SCANDAL concert was also approaching itsfinal stages, and at HARUNA's words,"We're going to make you dance and sing even more, can you do it!", the audience's voltage skyrocketed andLOVE SURVIVEcame on!!! Yes!! I love this song!! And there were divers appearing here too lol. This song is on the heavier side for SCANDAL, so I can kind of understand why Oral fans would want to dive lol. And then, another heavier song calledA.M.D.K.J.came on, and there were divers here too! Honestly, even though it was a joint gig, I felt it was fresh to see divers at a SCANDAL concert.

And then, with HARUNA's call of "Dance however you want for the last one!", the final song wasSCANDAL BABY. This song was honestly too much fun. You can dance along to it with so much energy. It's the perfect song to wrap things up. Also,it was so cute when MAMI and TOMOMI were clinging to HARUNA and flirting at this moment.

"Thank you so much for inviting The Oral! We were SCANDAL!"they said, and the members left the stage,

And thus, the SCANDAL concert came to a close.

It was seriously too amazing. Having The Oral follow this flow is insane. Also, I thought again thatnone of the 4 SCANDAL members look like they are in their late 20s or 30s at all!! lol. They are trulygetting more beautiful as they age(though they were beautiful to begin with). In addition, the songs they play are solid rock, and they are indeeda girl rock band that represents Japan. It was truly fun to see SCANDAL for the first time in 7 years!! AndI'm thrilled to be able to see them in a joint gig with The Oral!!!I want to go to their solo concert again too!!

Also, I will write downeach member's personal highlightsand thesetlistas well.

HARUNA→ Her stage presence is cool
MAMI→ The way she plays guitar while stepping is cool
TOMOMI→ The way she plays bass while stepping is cute
RINA→ The way she plays drums with a smile is cute

~About 10 minutes of changeover work~

THE ORAL CIGARETTES

When the changeover work was finished and the venue went dark again,that thing that is indispensable for an Oral concert is coming...!!!

Give me one clap!
👏
Now, give me two claps!!
👏👏
Give me three claps for THE ORAL CIGARETTES!!!
👏👏👏
Give me four claps for the fourth stop of the ALL MY LIFE TOUR, the Tokyo performance!!!!
👏👏👏👏
Let's get started!!!!!

Audience: "Wooooooo!!"

Yes, this is it, this is how an Oral live show starts!! I heard the four-clap for the first time in five years...!! The nostalgia is seeping in and I'm already about to cry...!

The SE was the one used during PARASITE DEJAVU held in '19. That track is so cool. I saw it live when I went back then, and it was so cool it gave me goosebumps. First, the instrumentalists, Shige, Akira, and Masayan appeared, followed by the frontman, Yamataku, who appeared last. Yamataku's demeanor at this moment was incredibly cool. The SE stopped, and the first song, which started with Yamataku's vocals, was the latest track, OVERNIGHT. This song was chosen as the OP for the TV anime "Tougen Anki". With Yamataku's call of "Tokyo! Jump!", the audience's voltage was through the roof from the very beginning. Seriously, this song is so cool. The blue lighting made the members shine even more, which was great.

And then, following Yamataku's intense call of "Haneda! Bring it on!!!", the second song was DIKIDANDAN. I truly believe this is a song where the current Oral and the old Oral have fused. It was so much fun to sing along with everyone, especially the "DIKIDANDAN DIKIDANDAN" part in the chorus!! I sang along too. After the second chorus, Yamataku goaded the audience on the first floor by saying "Hey, open up the middle!!", and then further goaded them with "Hurry up!!!", causing the audience to go wild. Yamataku's goading was truly the embodiment of the emperor mentioned in the lyrics of this song. After this, things calmed down a bit with Shine Holder. This was also the first time I'd heard it in five years. Shige's guitar cutting sound is irresistibly pleasant.

Here, they took a break for an MC and talked about SCANDAL.

Yamataku"SCANDAL, they were so sparkling. Their teeth were"

Akira"Their teeth?!"

Yamataku"HARUNA's teeth were so white"

Akira"But, didn't they get even more beautiful than last year? (The members of SCANDAL)"

Audience"Aaaaaahhhh!!!" (By the way, Akira is married)

Yamataku"We, on the other hand, have gotten dirtier... lol. Our clothes are tattered," (Yamataku's outfit that day was styled with vintage clothes and had holes in it, lol)

Akira"Our skin is dull, and our sense of taste is fading, lol"

Yamataku"Isn't that COVID? lol"

As expected of true Kansai natives. It's incredibly funny, lol. It's like a comedy routine, lol.

And what Yamataku thought while watching SCANDAL's live show

Yamataku"Hey guys... you were shouting so loudly for SCANDAL, but I've never heard you shout that loud at our stage. Were you slacking off!!"

This part was so funny, lol.

Yamataku"But, I thought you guys could do even better at our stage"

The audience, being provoked again, went "Ooooooh!!!"

Also, since Yamataku recently got married, fans keep asking him to "show us your ring," but it seems Yamataku is the type who doesn't wear one. Regarding that,

Yamataku"Do I have to explain this at every single show...? lol"

Akira"Put yourself in his shoes. Have some consideration, have some consideration (to the audience)"

Yamataku"There are households that don't wear them, you know lol"

Audience"Ehhhhhhh"

Yamataku"There are!!!!!! 💢"

Yamataku"I'll lose it!!! How many of my rings have you guys stolen!! lol"

This part was honestly so funny I laughed 🤣

According to him, he has lost the rings he wore as stage costumes many times during live shows in the past. Because of that, he doesn't wear one.

And also, he talked about his relationship with SCANDAL.

Yamataku"During that incident last year, SCANDAL really saved my heart."

The incident referred to here occurred on the second day of the event hosted by The Oral Cigarettes last year called PARASITE DEJAVU. This event spanned two days; the first day was a solo show by The Oral, and the second day was a festival-style concert featuring several guest bands. On that second day, an accident occurred where a camera crane lost its balance and fell onto the audience during coldrain's set. Several people were injured, and in order to take responsibility as the organizers, The Oral canceled their own performance on the second day and subsequently went on hiatus for several months.

And it seems SCANDAL was the act scheduled to perform after that accident occurred.

Yamataku headed to SCANDAL's dressing room to explain the situation.

Yamataku bowed his head and asked, "Given the current situation, things are complicated and difficult, and I'm truly sorry, but... could you please go on next?" To which the members of SCANDAL replied with a smile,

"It's okay!! Leave it to us!!"👍"

is what they apparently said.

Yamataku"Isn't that cool?! You know how in work, there are scenes where a subordinate says 'I'm sorry' to their boss? But... the coolest seniors are the ones who say 'It's okay, we've got this!'""

I didn't know there was such a touching story between the two bands! I've come to like both bands even more!!! And SCANDAL, who offered words of comfort to The Oral, are just too cool!! I'm glad I heard such a moving story!

After hearing that story, the live show resumed, and the next song was UNDER and OVER. This song was used as the opening theme for the TV anime "Raise wa Tanin ga Ii". Personally, I wasn't that into it when I first heard it, but... as I kept listening, I gradually got hooked, and it's become one of my favorite songs lately, so I was glad to hear it live. It's an addictive song with crisp guitar sounds and lyrics that seem bright at first glance but are actually quite dark. It was fun waving our hands together. The next song that came was

"Hikaru Hoshi no Nagareru Fiction♪"

as the SE played. It has to be that one!!

"A-E-U-I A-E-U-I♪"

A-E-U-I came on!! This is a cool song based on the motif of Orihime and Hikoboshi! To be able to turn such a fairy tale into such a cool song... are they geniuses?! There's an MV, so I'll post it here. Please check it out if you're interested.

And for the 6th song, a calm track called Slowly but surely I go on was played. This song was released right when the COVID-19 pandemic started, and it's a great song that resonates with our hearts, which went through a lot during the pandemic. And, a mishap happened during this song; at the very end of the song, in the part "Terasu iku hazu sa kore ga First Day", in the "kore ga First Day" part, did his voice get stuck on the "ko" part? Yamataku...

"Terasu iku hazu sa go..."

The singing and the voice didn't match, he messed up, and the performance stopped lol.

He started over and finished it to the end.

After that, there was another MC segment,

Yamataku"How could I make such a mistake...? lol"

He must be frustrated, but

for us fans, it's something we rarely get to see, so I felt lucky to witness such a rare moment lol.

Here, he talked about his connection with SCANDAL again.

Yamataku"You all wondered how I was connected to SCANDAL, right? The answer was Igarin! lol. Everyone, make sure to thank Igarin"

*Igarin = Shuhei Igari from HEY-SMITH

Audience"Thank you!!! (shouting towards Igarin)"

Yamataku"Also, can I say this now?"

Audience"Ohhh!?"

Yamataku"When I went to Sapporo with Igarin, we went to a girls' bar."

Actually, when Yamataku announced his marriage on Instagram, Igari commented, "Let's go to a girls' bar again" lol

If you're curious, please check it out here (it's in the comments section)

Yamataku"Seriously, what are you saying when I'm announcing my marriage? 😤"

And after this, Yamataku reveals something lol

Yamataku"Actually, MAMI was there too lol"

Audience"Whaaat!! lol"

That's right. Actually, when Yamataku and Igari went to the girls' bar, SCANDAL's MAMI was with them lol. Yamataku told her she didn't have to force herself, but,

"No🙂‍↔️ I've never been, so I'm going!"

It seems MAMI was actually eager to go lol. And it turns out the female staff member at that girls' bar was really into dirty jokes, and no matter what they talked about, she would respond with a dirty joke lol (I won't say the content lol). It was so bad that even Yamataku was taken aback, and when he asked MAMI, who was sitting next to him, if she was okay...

she said,

"It's super fun😚"

It seems he was smiling like that lol

Yamataku"SCANDAL fans, I am truly sorry🙇"

He was almost in a dogeza (prostration) position lol

Yamataku"I ended up saying 'Gomen-na-MAMI'! lol"

It was a segment where an unexpected episode about MAMI was exposed lol. And just as the live show was about to resume

Yamataku"Are you SCANDAL fans okay? It's probably going to turn into a mosh pit here after this, but...?"

Audience"Ohhh!!!"

Yamataku"Help them out! (If someone falls) Guys, I'm counting on you!!"

That 'Guys, I'm counting on you' was so cool that I thought I wanted to say it too lol (I'll never get to say it in my life...)

Yamataku"Alright, give me your best BUG!😜"

Following Yamataku's hype-up, the song BUG came on. This was my first time hearing this song live too (well, actually, I'm hearing all songs from 2020 onwards live for the first time), this song is so cool live!! It went perfectly with the lighting. I wanted to do that thing where you raise your arms alternately during the riff! It was too much fun! I personally thought this is a song that truly comes alive in a live setting.

I'll post the live video.

And when this song ends, Yamataku says "Thank you for your hard work" but in the live show now

"Thank you for your hard work... just kidding! I won't say it!!!"🤪

I seriously love this part lol (To those who went, you know what I mean!)

Continuing with this flow, the next song was DUNK, the loudest and most intense song in Oral's history. This song is a collaboration with coldrain's Masato and it's a super cool track. It was even cooler live. By the way, this song is apparently themed around basketball so basketball fans should definitely give it a listen.

I'll post this one too.

"Show me more hell!!" With Yamataku's hype-up, the audience's voltage skyrocketed, and that led into their signature song Kyouran Hey Kids!!!! That's right, you can't talk about Oral without this song!! For me, this is the song that introduced me to Oral and the reason I got hooked on them. It was truly shocking when I first heard it. Also, pay attention to the guitar solo played by Shige.

Now, the live show is finally reaching its climax. Here, Yamataku talked about this tour.

This ALL MY LIFE TOUR is packed with the desire to reveal everything and share everything with everyone. (I remember this vaguely)

And from here on,Yamataku's MC resonated with me so deeply that I really want to share it with you all, so I'm writing it down here.(Since this is from memory, please just enjoy the vibe of what he was saying.)

Yamataku, you really are cool after all 😢

Back in my fourth year of university, when my graduation research wasn't going well at all and I was in a state of despair where I might not even graduate,I was truly saved by The Oral's songs.The Oral is the first band that has saved me this much through music. I was able to reaffirm once again that The Oral is cool.

After hearing such a passionate MC, when it finally came to the last song, Yamataku casually said,

"I think we'll do a one-man tour next year."

Audience"Ohhh!!"

This is something to look forward to!

Now, it's finally the last song,

"We'll be your heroes."

With those words from Yamataku, Savior Of My Life was chosen as the final song. This song is included in their latest album, AlterGeist0000. This song is just an incredibly emotional and cool song. I personally thought it was a song that only the evolved Oral of today could create.

And so, this very content-rich Oral live show came to a close.

But just when I thought that, they immediately went into the encore! And for the encore, that familiar segment begins! Drummer Masayan comes out and

Masayan"Starting now!! (with a lot of echo)"

Audience"Ohhhh!!"

Masayan"Masayan Shopping, the Oral goods introduction segment!!!"

Audience"Ohhhh!!"

Yes, this is it!! The Oral's encore starts with this! The drummer, Masayan, has a "Masayan Shopping" segment where he introduces the merchandise. It's a popular segment among Oral fans. The last time I saw The Oral was at a two-man live with My First Story in 2020, but since The Oral was the guest side then, there was no Masayan Shopping. So, the last time I really went to a live show hosted by The Oral was PARASITE DEJAVU in '19, making it a full 6 years since. I almost cried, thinking, I've finally returned to an Oral live show.

Once Masayan Shopping ends, they go into the next song, but for some reason, Shige the guitarist is standing there with all his guitars out. When the members asked what was wrong...

Shige"No, the next song hasn't been decided yet."

That's right. According to the members, they haven't decided which songs to play for the encore on this tour, and they decide based on a majority vote from the audience among three songs suggested by Yamataku.

So, they said they had all their guitars out and were on standby just in case, no matter which song was chosen.

And according to Yamataku, he gets a huge amount of DMs on social media saying "Play this song!", and

Yamataku"I honestly think it's so annoying 😩"

Then Yamataku suggests three candidate songs.

Yamataku"MACHINEGUN"

Audience"Ohhhhhh!!!"

Yamataku"Red Criminal"

Audience"Ohhhhhh!!!"

Yamataku"Daimaou Sanjou"

Audience"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"

Members"😲😲😲😲⁉⁉⁉⁉"

It was clear to anyone listening that Daimaou Sanjou was the overwhelming favorite lol.

Yamataku"Shige, get in there! It's already decided!"

As soon as Shige grabbed his guitar and got into position, Daimaou Sanjou started right up.

"♪Daimaou Sanjou, Daimaou Sanjou, longing for the destruction of Daimaou Sanjou♪"

This song is one of The Oral's earliest songs, but it remains a huge fan favorite even today. However, there was another mishap during this song... Just as they were about to enter the chorus, Masayan on drums got the timing off

"♪Daimaou... (Members: Huh?)"

The timing was off and the performance stopped lol.

It's actually quite rare to see two mishaps at an Oral live show, haha.. What happened? Masayan himself said "the drum beat dropped out". In short, the sound was lost and the rhythm got off.

In response to that,

Yamataku"Well, then that's the staff's fault~ (imitating SCANDAL's TOMOMI)"

Yamataku imitated the tone of voice TOMOMI used during a mishap at a SCANDAL concert, haha.

Yamataku"But, I thought that was super scary, haha. I felt some darkness deep inside (to TOMOMI)"

Indeed, haha.

And then, the audience started calling out "One more time! One more time!", so they started over from the beginning and finished the song safely this time. Also, the highlight of this song is, after all, the bass Akira lifting his leg high in his leg-lift performance! And when he was doing that, Yamataku went behind Akira, crouched down, and kept looking around Akira's butt, haha. Actually, it seems there was a mishap in the past where Akira's pants ripped when he did this leg lift, haha. So he must have been checking to see if his pants were ripped, haha. And finally, the moment the four members came to the front, held hands, raised them, and were about to say "Thank you very much!"... unexpectedly, the audience started calling for an encore again!!

The members gave a wry smile at this, but they responded to the fans' voices, returned to their positions, picked up their instruments, and went into an unexpected double encore!!

Yamataku"You guys are such a great band... haha. You're the ones who asked for this! If it doesn't get exciting, I'm stopping the song halfway through!!😤"

The song they're playing is...

Yamataku"Bang! Bang! MACHINEGUN!!!!"

Me: "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! (inner voice)"

To be honest, I really wanted to hear this, so I was so happy they played it at the very end that I almost cried.This song is seriously cool.It's packed with those catchy, quirky phrases that are so typical of The Oral Cigarettesandit's a song that perfectly showcases everything that makes them great.It's my favorite song released by The Oral Cigarettes in the last few years. It was amazing to finally hear the song I wanted to hear at the very end. Thank you so much to everyone who called for an encore!! I'll post the MV for this one too.

And with that, The Oral Cigarettes' live performance truly came to an end, closing the curtain on a very intense two-man show between The Oral Cigarettes and SCANDAL.

I can talk about this now, but... I'll never forget when I first got hooked on The Oral Cigarettes back in2015when I heardKyouran Hey Kids!!. It was trulyshockingto me at the time, and from there I completely fell into The Oral's swamp; they werethe band I listened to the most and went to see live the most during my university years.That's how much of an impact they had on me. However, by2020, with the addition of anew style(SUCK MY WORLD) to their music and theimpact of the COVID-19 pandemic, I stopped going to their live shows. Of course, it's not that I stopped liking them, and that hasn't changed, but I realized thatI wasn't feeling the same level of passion I had when I first got into them. As proof, when they came to my hometown ofKanazawafor theAlterGeist0000 TOURearlier this year, the old me would have absolutely done whatever it took to get a ticket, but instead, I had the mindset ofonly going if I happened to get a ticket. In the end, I couldn't get a ticket and didn't go, but strangely, I wasn't that shocked and felt a bit cold about it, thinking, "Oh well." I probably would have gone to the arena tour held later if I were my old self, but I didn't participate in that tour either. As you can see,I had cooled down and drifted away from the band I once loved so much and was so passionate about. Of course, I never grew to dislike them; it was just that my feelings had thinned out to the point where I thought, "It's not worth going to another prefecture for..." However, after going to this live show, I thought this:

"I really do love the band THE ORAL CIGARETTES."

I've been following them for nearly 10 years, so there's no way I could just walk away that easily. It doesn't matter if their style is new or if they feel like a distant presence.I really do love The Oral.. The fact that it was a two-man show with SCANDAL was a big factor, but regardless of that, it was also a live show whereI was able to reaffirm my own feelings for The Oral.I'm so glad I went to this show!!I don't know when I'll be able to go to another Oral live show, but if the opportunity arises, I will definitely go again!!Thank you so much!!!

Finally

Yes... so, that's the story of how I went tothe two-man live show of THE ORAL CIGARETTES and SCANDAL. Wow, before I knew it, it ended up beingover 13,000 characters...!! This is probablythe longest note article I've ever written.

I've already said everything I wanted to say above, so I won't go on for too long here.Come to think of it,the official accountpostedlive photos, so I'll post them too.

Yes, this is it, this is it...!!!! I've wanted to see these two standing side-by-side for so long!!!!!

I could eat so many bowls of rice just looking at this photo 🍚🍚🍚🍚🍚🍚🍚🍚

I saved all the photos that the official account and the members posted, lol. Of course,I will absolutely not repost them without permission!!I'll only use them for my own personal enjoyment.

For me, someone who truly loves both The Oral Cigarettes and SCANDAL, this was a really, really deep and meaningful concert. It was definitely worth taking paid leave and coming all the way to Tokyo.

It's easily one of the top two concerts I've been to since the pandemic.top 1 or 2contender.

HARUNAsaid it too, but

"This isn't the first and last time (we'll perform together)," and as she said, I think this is actually just the beginning, so if they have another joint gig, I will definitely go again!!!

Once again, I

really love THE ORAL CIGARETTES and SCANDAL!!!!

I will continue to follow you both for the rest of my life!!!!

Thank you so much!!!

I'm waiting for the next joint gig!!!!
