So at the end this they did no play the whole album songs meaning will not be a Blu-ray release but at least we will get the 30th anniversary tour.

And at Sept 6 the July 18 Show will be Stream at U-Next

Am I trippin or this album tour/cycle Is freakishly short? Or is it cuz the anniversary is also this year?

The album cycle started last year with the Tour “The Mortal Chapter 0”

Since the album was supposed to be release last year make sence they supposed touring 3 Tours and then The Garden Theater. However that wasn’t the case and it feels they just HOLD the cycle until handle the 30th Anniversary so i will not be surprise if they announce A Mortal Downer Tour for 2027 as the continuation.

The most proof of that they won’t release this two concerts in Blu-Ray at supposed to be. So i think the True End of this cycle won’t be at least lastly 2027.

I would not be surprised if this era was cut short by the polarizing reaction to the album, but I really dont think the album was so alienating that it reached this level

Inb4 they get From Depression to___ on our ass and we get a full-blown TIW tour.
But yeah, 25th anniversary tour also put Phalaris cycle on hold (which was even more egregious since at that moment they were playing only 4 songs from the album excluding singles), so I imagine smth similar here as well.
Or who knows, maybe we gonna be getting EU/US anniversary tour with some MD songs sprinkled here and there.

"Tokyo Garden Theatre 2 Days

There are still areas that need work, but for now, well done, everyone. ⁡

It’s been a while since we’ve played such a big venue, five years on from ‘alienation’ (疎外) under the restrictions.

I’m sorry to have kept you waiting so long, but thank you so much for treating us to such a wonderful sight. ⁡

You might have some concerns about what’s next lol

I think I’ll write about it somewhere or talk about it again.

I’ve been completely knackered from a lack of sleep over the past week or so (I haven’t even watched the World Cup) due to preparations for the Garden Theatre and the livestream, but I’ll be moving forward again from today. ⁡

#Maybe I’ll just leave it until tomorrow after all"
