ナイトメア (NIGHTMARE)

Oh okay! So I only vaguely read the topic before and thought they would cancel until well friday lolol then my insta showed Hitsugi in Sao Paulo and finally I was like oh omg ok what its happening
Until then all my brain dared to process was 3 killed 5 injured sounds terrible let’s think about something else so I did and it was so enjoyable I FORGOT about their injuries bc theyre Wow and by Wow I mean very very professional and energetic

Can’t attest to how big it was either because didnt look behind me but yeah that is beautiful :pleading_face:

And lastly yep I am still caught up on the idea of some edgy kid or adult in closet DN cosplay going to the trenches like hirogaru yami no naka kawashiatta :musical_notes: and finding themselves surrounded by a bunch chanting SENDAI KAMOTSU EVERYBODY IS GAY and being like ok I got the wrong live because they don’t know of the brothers band :relieved_face::victory_hand:THE diverse crowd

Oh and there was lost in blue lol will share if any other track keeps playing in my head other than the anisons but yeah I realize now there were more pop older songs than I felt because of the odd seemingly random pick

Edit because not me forgetting raison detre was in Claymore like Yomi literally Said Claymore but it’s just not an anison in my head . Alumina is an anison . The World is an anison . Dirty is an anison . But in my mind raison detre is not an anison because I didn’t watch Claymore orz

So from what I’ve gathered, they’ve played these songs: ASSaulter, Rebel, 404, Alumina, Raison D’etre, Dirty, Mimic, Drastica, Lost in Blue, The WORLD, and Quints.

Order is unclear. Also unclear if these were all the songs

For added info Ni~ya did a membership limited livestream from 9 to 10AM on the live day :relieved_face:
He said he and Ruka are almost healed (but sometimes he says so to reassure fans so idk), all members were all excited, they really enjoyed the friendliness and the cheerfulness of Brazilians
I’m satisfied of how Nightmare always shows consideration towards fans and tell us anything they experience :relieved_face:

No, not really. Yes for The World + Alumina + Dirty + Raison d’etre and Drastica + Lost in Blue + Mimic + 404 + IIRC Rebel (If memory doesn’t fail me - this may have been what I mistook for noxlux)

ASSaulter could well have been one of my Huh tracks in my mind but again unsure

When I said Quints I meant the crowd was chanting it not that it was played it wasn’t

There were a few more for sure, though. I mean their intros were very short like 5 min tops so clearly the maths isn’t mathing for 1h :sweat_smile:

@mmm So sweet :sob: my overwhelming impression was that they are professional and sweet or maybe confirmation bias lol

Wish I could help a bit more but I still have a throbbing headache hangover maybe later

That was a really good setlist given the context. And yes, Drastica is awesome.

Im glad the show was a success, I wonder how a show outide the con enviroment would be in LATAM.

Ah cool - thanks for sharing! Was going crazy here wondering what was up with my memory :sweat_smile: a bit of recency bias but I blame it on the struggles during the concert :melting_face: also TIL With is not in Nox:Lux apparently lol

So it was Gokujou uh whatever (didn’t know the name still won’t know lol . . ) the fact that somehow both this and Drastica is so funny to the no 1 Dizzy apologist called me :pensive_face: my denpa waves of I Dare U To Play _ prolly reached em with some interference and also got some 404 (which I do appreciate) and ASSaulter (which I know they seem to enjoy playing live but personally meh) lmao help

So yeah a lot for post 2012 fans and only really anisons and Lost In Blue for pre right ? This may have been why I felt :thinking: since the crowd clearly wanted some older (it’s NOT just me shut up last I checked the ig a top voted comment was AMAZING LIVE BUT PLAY TOKYO SHOUNEN NEXT ) or just more mv tracks (cough clearly talking about the sendai kamotsu and quints chants and NOT my dizzy obsession :lying_face: )

But yea maybe I accidentally did the funniest thing and preempted the fall when I said it’s gotta be um oldschool lolita and maybe a bit of um placing my pre 2007 dvds in expositor pocket in my itabag bc bag is full and maybe they can sign items :joy: they were giggling and I was sure I was looking awful because of my Kaya trauma but maybe that was it :joy:

But it was DREAMY a DREAM COME TRUE regardless :smiling_face_with_tear: people who have seen them before please tell me u share my feelings of being starstruck and overwhelmed maybe days on end :sob: it made me think yeah I could become a vk attending bangya for em if I was japanese LMAO they still got it fr and there is something for everyone for sure (u don’t say with a crowd like that :relieved_face: )

Gonna go back into my forum retirement but please please help me get my brainwaves of COME BACK REDEEM YOURSELVESI mean thanks and hoping for a safe recovery :innocent:

I’m still gobsmacked that they put DRASTICA in there :skull: of all songs. 404 and Drastica are definitely the weak links here imo they have an infinite amount of better songs. I suppose this was their idea of “random” songs. But they should have chosen any other song. They played Kyokutou in Europe so why not add it here ? Or StarKnight even

The reception to 404 was oddly good not sure why but it’s a track I personally enjoy and was pleased, as a non fan of the more metal side not having much of that was a surprise though on behalf of everyone :sweat_smile:

The deepest part of my wicked mind thought for an older kinda random song they would definitely have to pick Nazuki for the sheer impact of a crowd singing along to gibberish LOL I feel it was one of their best known unpopular 00s songs here because specifically it was the nickname of one of the old days big fan :joy: I love Nazuki I mean sign me tfu for chanting hahahah but yes Kyokutou n Star Knight or pretty much anything in Five Stars Night

Not to mention that they have already shown FOUR unreleased songs at concerts already. Could’ve been a great opportunity to show off the real new music (both Rebel and With are about 2 years old now)

Hey hey hey I will not live down 404 hate here!!! (Jk its fine if its your own opinion :laughing:

Also poor old ducks everyone was kinda getting sick or injured by Ni~ya’s birthday - I am sure the experience was bound to be mixed since this is their first con in a longggg bit so @Anon308 sorry to hear about the various circumstances that could have been improved :((( , but I’m more than glad they pulled off a show anyway with all 5!

So, if i’m not mistaken, a new album could potentially have:

With
Farewell
Rebel
Kuon
Labyrinth
Smile
Mist
Birth
Jubilee

That’s already 10 songs so I’d say we could see a single and and album shortly after?

Here’s the full show they held in Brazil:

I suspect that there will be a 5th song shown at Yomi’s bd live next week. Would be a waste to have With or Farewell. Those songs would be years old by the time it drops.

True, but It always feels weird to me when albums don’t “honor” the singles. If they don’t It feels like they don’t belong anywhere. Awakening is like an orphan in my eyes.

This and other reasons are why i like making my own “x.5th” albums out of B-sides and not-on-album singles!

For example my 10.5th album for ナイトメア in my iTunes is

  • Twelve
  • Visual-Kei is not Dead…
  • Gotta Get a Ghost
  • BARK
  • Ruler
  • Believing
  • Chronophobia
  • 落園
  • Empty.
  • Fear
  • 空蝉
  • Awakening

Which i feel is the best flow for the order of all the extra tracks from that period

Mini album on the 14th guys :fire: It’s called √25

He reveals the track “Baku” is his first time composing a song. He also reveals that he has hip problems due to femoral head necrosis or Chandler’s disease.

No same fr. Weak link whatever it was my favorite part of the live because I enjoy the track and it helps that nobody behind singing along so I was vibing hard lol what can I do about my unpopular tastes least I am honest

No but it was absolutely amazing that they pulled off and not only that but delivered :relieved_face: Not only the live was great mg was also SUPER heartwarming I was soo :face_holding_back_tears: still living in Sunday mentally and I can’t recommend enough like if I lived in Japan I would 100% try to go see them in more than one place

Finally omfg please be well :sob: but also omg finally we get Yomi composition :smiling_face: and album :heart_eyes: but also omfg what is that disease

Basically hip joint bone tissue death. Which makes it harder/painful to move

Yomi hinted at it before in their tenka saiboso promotion stream. I think Sakito comments that Yomi used to move around a lot more and he responds by saying he can’t anymore because his hip is damaged.
