ナイトメア (NIGHTMARE)

Plugged it in just now and it’s true! Also it’s so sweet that Track 25 is the hidden track. 1 for every year :face_holding_back_tears:

Also I wish they’d release it as a demotape for old times’ sake! The track itself has a really “demo” feel to it.

Is track 25 a new song?

track 25 is the hidden track. I guess it’s the 1st version, as @mmm said? I didn’t listen to the Sakito stream yesterday, so I’m not sure. But it does sound like an old version of Sabato

Ah, thats true.

Its pretty amazing they kept such an old recording around!

Sorry for the double post, but I’m so shocked about this… All music news sites and magacines have the same live eeport form the Budokan Show. Its so dissapoinrinh no real, gebuine live supoorts exist for this and were replaced by what is effectively a press statement release by the band"s staff (I assume)

Are “journalists” so lazy or is the band extremely insecure/protective?? Such a letdown.

Question for those who habe the new Sabato: Does it have the same production/mixing issues as root25?

I’ve just seen that todays episode of 爆烈!ナイトメア was the last one :smiling_face_with_tear: I wasn’t able to watch but does anyone know why they’ve decided to end it? 17 years is a good run of course

I haven’t been able to get a further sense on why as of now, but my personal theory is that they’ve got quite a lot of activities coming up this year, so perhaps it’s a way of freeing up their time + manpower since it seems implied that it’s for now. But of course, anyone with a better idea can chime in!

Walking to work today, I found myself listening through ‘Outlaw’ as I do every now and then. Let me tell you what I love about this EP and classic Nightmare in general:

  1. The tracks are so damn loud that you can probably hear someone listening to it from Saturn.
  2. Ruka’s snare. That snare is so tight, it sounds like someone smacking a plastic sheet. Personally, I actually absolutely love that snare sound (maybe I’m weird for that?)
  3. Every track is a banger. No skips on that EP.

That’s it. That’s my ‘Outlaw’ experience in a nutshell every time I listen to it.

This was so good! Perfect timing for them to drop this. It’s great to see them play Budokan once again, it makes you think just how bad they had it under Avex (except their pre-hiatus show). I remember Avex consistently having them in smaller and smaller venues as the years went on.

It’s a long shot but does anyone know someone who’s able to get stream tickets for the bday shows when you’re outside japan? I thought I found someone on reddit but they said I wouldn’t be able to watch the stream outside japan even with a vpn

I really want to watch Ni~ya’s birthday live this year :frowning: I’m even happy to split the cost of the stream ticket if someone will share a link/video file with me

(in slightly related news, rip the pink hair that lasted just for the tour final. I think it was very cute and really suited him)

Seconding @rukarukaruka, was able to watch Hitsus this year.

But yeah my issue is more with payment. Maybe you can check with your contact to see if something still can be worked out?
