“Always with you ~to おはる♡~”, a legends event that was previously announced back in 2019 but was repeatedly postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, will go on in 2023 from 1/20~21~22 at Urawa Narciss!
The event, which mainly consists of oldschool bands coming back for a one-day revival, is organized by Kaiki (ex-WITH SEXY), and dedicated to Oharu, a longtime supporter and event organizer for these bands, who had been diagnosed with malignant lymphoma back in September 2019.
The list of participating bands has changed from years prior, which sadly means no Piass revival ;w;

My favourites were Kagi, Lucifer underground, Kumo, Noix and Symptom Cluster.
It was nice to see the other bands as well, they were simply not my cup of tea. Especially the third day which was very trash metal influenced (lisk, vasalla, grim and the others).
I don’t know why but I was disappointed by S. maybe it was due to the fact that they simply freshened up their songs by electronics, so it just didn’t click for me.
