Flower Flower is gonna perform?! Isn't that Yui's new band? Can't wait to see SCANDAL's performance  !!!~~

this gonna be such a great event... ohmo... i like the way that SCANDAL and CNBLUE were always next one another on the list of this site http://rijfes.jp/2013/artist and here http://www.songkick.com/festivals/296013-rock-in-japan/id/16740704-rock-in-japan-festival-2013....evilgrin. 

love scandal for a very long time and just like cnblue recently...  and from then i really want them to be in a concert together.uhuh. (that i even leave message on cnblue's site....hora. ) then i suddenly found the artist list of rock fest in japan at songkick... first was SCANDAL FOLLOWED BY CNBLUE.... it's like.... hwwwrrrrrr.fustrated. HOW IN HELL CAN I GET THERE!!!???
awwwrrr....pitiful me....  though they're going to perform at different time and different stage location... STILL!!!! they'll be on the same day!!!!  my geeeed....shy.

but this really was such a great event not just because of scandal and cnblue for me(though it's my utmost) but because it was an all pack of my favorite japanese performers.... .dies. 




by the way hello to everyone .hi. 'coz i was actually a newbie and it was my first post ... just sudden excitement to reply this thread... .evilgrin.

CNBLUE is performing OMG!! Woohu!!!

Nice; KANA-BOON, the band that MAMI has been really hooked on recently, is performing on the same day. I hope MAMI will get to meet them if she hasn't yet already/if they know that she's a fan.

Out of curiosity, when does the festival approximately get aired on Japanese television?

Since it's a rock festival, I'm super excited to watch them perform songs like hopefully 24 Jikan~  

But then again, I see artists like Perfume who are in no means classified as rock lol.

Would be so awesome to be at this festival!
Or at least a video of it!1

SET LIST for the day:

01. 24 Jikan Plus no Yoake Mae
02. LOVE SURVIVE
03. Satisfaction
04. Kagen no Tsuki
05. Kill the virgin
06. Awanai Tsumori no, Genki de ne
07. Taiyou Scandalous

Ahhhhh... my feels. 24 jikan was played and Kill the virgin was not what I expected, but it was awesome! Love the setlist~

oh my!there is a video from kagen up to taiyou but for the first four I can't find any. hope someone will  

Waaah this live performance was great!  It was nice to see Haruna and Rina performing on differents instruments for Kill the Virgin!^o^
Tomo's whispers on that song particularly were quite...er disturbing ^^" Well, let's say sensuals! I am not used to hear her sing that way but it reflects in a way the song in itself!^_^

and speaking of that, haru's whisper is sexy..  

Currently watching it =) Kill the virgin is reaaaaaaally nice but I wonder why they chose to play that song in the "ROCK in Japan" festival. It's one of their most pop song IMHO, reaaaaaaaaly different from the other songs and looks like a weird choice to me.

That being said not a big deal an it's great that we have it live like that... TIMO lead vocal, HARUNA whispering, RINA on keyboard... .nosebleed. 

.happy. reading your posts thrills me...

but could someone please translate this(i was just using google translator... and i guess it doesn't help me that much):

手を振りながらステージに登場したHARUNA（Vocal & Guitar）、MAMI（Guitar & Vocal）、TOMOMI（Bass & Vocal）、RINA（Drums & Vocal）を集まった人々の拍手と歓声が包む。そして、“24時間プラスの夜明け前”がスタート。歯切れの良いビートを浴びて、お客さんたちは大喜び！　早速、飛び跳ねながら踊りだした。続いて、 2曲目“LOVE SURVIVE”。一層パワフルなサウンドが迸り、フィールド全体の熱気の上昇は止まらない。徐々に日暮れ時が近づき、少し涼しい風が吹いてきていたが、まるで真っ昼間に逆行するかのように熱く盛り上がったオープニングの2曲であった。

「ジャパーン！　初めまして。SCANDALです。今日は楽しもうね」とHARUNAが呼びかけ、「一緒に！」と手拍子を誘って幕開けた“サティスファクション”。「♪ウォーウォー！」と共に歌うお客さんたちの声も加わり、演奏するメンバーたちも実に嬉しそう。続いて、新曲“下弦の月”へと勢い良く突入しようとしたのだが……ちょっと上手く行かず、一旦仕切り直し。そんなアクシデントも絶妙なアクセントとしながら、どんどん一体感を生み出す彼女達の姿からは、数々のステージを踏んできた豊富な経験が窺われた。

RINAが鍵盤をプレイする編成となり、エレクトロテイストのダンスサウンドを響かせた“Kill the virgin”。甘酸っぱい疾走感と共に展開した“会わないつもりの、元気でね”。そして、ラストを飾ったのは“太陽スキャンダラス”。飛び跳ねて手拍子をするお客さんたちのテンションがすごい。素晴らしいクライマックスとなった。全曲の演奏を終えると、とびっきりの笑顔を輝かせたメンバーたち。去り際に「ありがとうございました。SCANDALでした。来年もよろしく！」とHARUNAが言うと、大歓迎ムード満点の歓声が上がる。ROCK IN JAPAN初出演だが、強烈な印象をひたちなかの大地に刻んだSCANDALだった。（田中大）

 "24 Jikan Plus no Yoake Mae" that's a lot!
.toj. 



I can not wait to see the video

Never been a huge fan of Kill the Virgin, but this performance was nothing less than awesome. The "wind" sounds were unnecessary in my opinion, but everything else was superb. Tomomi singing with her hair pending on her face is aways a plus for sexyness, Mami rocking hard even in a popish song, Rina was cute with her headphones on and played the keyboard very well, and Haruna killed me with her whispers, also loved her outfit.

This was one of the best live performances I've seen online since Osaka Jo Hall. I love that diverse set list too, a great mix of new and old.

Can anyone find a full recording of the entire set? I can only seem to find the last three tracks, but I would LOVE to see a performance of "24 Jikan Plus no Yoake Mae"
