It took them after three MCs to rock out real strong with back-to-back rockers (that segment that had AMDKJ, Kagerou, Take Me Out). Stage outfits look great and while I am biased, MAMI looked good - love to see her in those black trousers (pants mean undies for us in Britain lol)
Gear-wise, there is that new white Tele HARU was playing (the body looked like her current white sig Tele with gold binding, the difference being a maple fingerboard with block pearloid inlays, stoptail/ToM bridge and 2xvol, 2xtone controls - and please don't tell me this a new sig series to be released lol) as well as her bringing back Shun-kun
That's good that at least some of us like One more time :-)
They all look good, but what stands out for me are Mami's awesome boots!
That part with Take me out after A.M.D.K.J. was straight fire! I almost started to jump around my room! Almost...
You have a good eye to spot those differences! New signature to be released? Yes, please! I jumped on too late to buy this guitar for a reasonable price and now, I can only look at those ridiculous 2k$ and above :-(
That was Shun-kun? Good to know, thanks for the info. Are you a guitar aficionado?
P.S. Thanks for reminding me about the trousers difference (no irony!).

That's an interesting observation there! Haruna looked so happy during that song- pure joy for my eyes
And I bet you were happy that they have included Shunkan Sentimental on the setlist, right?

Overall a nice concert, but definitely prefer last year's KFTD concert, the whole thing was amazing, and much longer too lol.
But their outfits at this concert was fire, love the glitter white tops, especially Mami's!
Sure, Scandal deserves more on their 15th anniversary, but we all know what the situation is and I think we're really lucky that the concert took place or they didn't change the venue. Just look how unlucky is Band Maid this year :-/
I think just like you, that KftD was a better show, even without people. I guess pandemic took a toll on their performance skills.
Looking at the pictures from the concert, these outfits remind me fish scales :-)

Everybody's trying to figure out how to do concerts in the COVID era, and a lot of bands and audiences still seem to be feeling things out a bit.
As far as the livestream goes, the picture quality for me was pretty terrible through the whole thing, and I force-set it to 1080p all the way through.
Correct me if I'm wrong but, in general, doesn't Japanese audience always seem to be well organised? At least comparing it to European or American chaos during some concerts :-)
I can only imagine how much it sucks to perform in front of empty seats. So, at least it's a progress since last year. I hope it can only get better, for all of us!
Yeah, the quality on my PC wasn't too good either, albeit 1080p looked quite decent!
Cheers everyone!
