With a DVD release decided for 2011 and a full album coming in December, vistlip tackled the renowned Zepp Tokyo full of heart on July 7th, proving stronger for overcoming their trials and living out one of many dreams. The festival day of Tanabata was only an afterthought for the live-goers, who were far more concerned with the triumphant return of the band and their anniversary celebrations.
Zepp was packed to the hilt and tension thickened as a clock occasionally popped up on the projector screen counting down from 20 minutes to 19:50, from 10 to 9:50 and from 5 to 4:50 with crackling lightning embellishing the image. Finally the clock appeared again counting down from 60 seconds, the numbers glowing red and crackling with electricity. The voices of the crowd could be heard during the final ten second countdown, followed by clapping and a general commotion as the band were introduced onscreen like characters from a video game. The stage setting, which was a touch industrial with a real rock core and a bit of flashy bling in colorful fluros, enhanced the band’s natural presence and set to either side of the stage were huge platforms for the guitarists to clamber onto at whim.
The pop-rock opening of the very first number, -OZONE-, was met with excited screams. A live video feed scrolled through various camera angles, making it difficult to decide whether to watch the full stage or the selective screen offering well-earned close-ups, even of drummer Tohya. In fact, the drummer was well kept in the fold with vocalist Tomo and bassist Rui turning to face him as they danced around during NEXT. Dead Cherry began with a scream of “Let’s see you all smile!” as Tomo and guitarist Umi took turns singing the lyrics during the verse, giving the number a somewhat boy-bandish feel but coolly executed none-the-less. Of course, with the visual style of a crow personified, Umi would never fit comfortably into a boy band.
