On really unexpected news, from Argonavis is having a crossover concert with OSIRIS from Band Yarouze!, notorious deadgame, and I really have no idea if I'm in 2023 or not. Unfortunately no overseas streaming or I would have hopped on that.
hello, I don't think anyone has made one before, so I made a list of references used for banyaro songs from past interviews. these are all I can find, if you're interested in the inspirations behind their songs, please check this out!
BAND YAROUZE!! Dream Match Duel GIG 2023 RAVEN/ADVENT DAY2 (24 March 2023)
Almost forgot to buy a viewing ticket! Just finished watching it and it was SOOO GOOD!!
Anyway, Banyaro used Stagecrowd for its international livestream. Everything went smoothly. Payment was easy and the stream quality was great!
The entire concert was just shy of 3 hours long. Day 2 focuses on Osiris and I think they sang all of Osiris' songs, including Kyo's character song!
Masanori Kobayashi was mostly in character as Kyo for most of the concert while Yoji Ikuta had trouble staying in Yamato's character! He even mentioned during one of the intermission talks that he had to keep reminding himself that he was Yamato! XD He also kept saying he was 'eternally 17'. (Was that Yamato's age in the game? Can't remember.) And Kobayashi-san was all 'Stop, it's been 3 years. We're now 20.' XDD
'Kyo' had great fun during 'Bloody Masquerade', where he walked among the audience while singing. He was very 'I'm a rock god' as fans reached out to touch him when he walked past them. He held hands with at least two fans for quite a few seconds, which totally made their year! XDD 'Yamato' called him out for that later, and 'Kyo' seemed rather embarrassed. I think he said it was his first time doing something like that.
Osiris' version of 'Guruguru Magic' was sooo cute~!! Complete with 'Kyo' being cute~ :3c Blast's version of 'Whiz' was great too, though 'Yamato' had to tune his voice at the beginning to get the right pitch! XDD
And I think Osiris sang one of Blast's songs. Not sure which one but it sounded familiar. (I've never really paid much attention to Blast's songs...)
At the end, there was a special guest - Raphael! (Well, it was guitarist who I think played Raphael's solo in the game?)
And the last vocal song was 'Heavenly Breeze'~ ♡
Buying Day 2 was a great choice as Osiris was definitely the main focus with Blast kind of playing support. I guess it was the other way round for Day 1?
i should’ve done this last night bc i would have remembered it better but anyways,,
i watched banyaro dream match duel gig advent! made the last minute decision to buy the archive stream last night and it was so worth it! the stream was available internationally which was a surprise since most of the stuff i watch is japan only and i have to vpn my way in (which apparently just got harder, thanks dmm). the performances were amazing and i love how both bands were hyping each other up the entire time and even doing each other’s backing vocals at some point. here’s some random fun stuff i remember
- they showed drama clips at the beginning and the end, like it looked like in-game content. i wasn’t expecting any seiyuu content at all aside from the vocalists (the rest of the members during the live aren’t played by the seiyuu so they don’t speak) so i was surprised. reminded me how much i miss the game lol
- yamato struggling to pronounce ‘advent’
- yamato wearing blue socks to show his support for osiris, meanwhile kyo said he was wearing black socks and red didn’t go with his outfit (i think yamato said blue doesn’t go with his but he wore it anyway? but i might be wrong). yamato then realizing he showed his socks on camera and told the audience not to reupload it anywhere
- they acknowledged the people watching the livestream through the internet! and that they were streaming worldwide!
- idk if it was just me but tsubasa’s hair seemed a little longer than it was in-game. which i thought was cute
- showcasing the merch (towels, wristbands, etc.) and ray wearing three masks (like, on top of each other). this is funnier knowing that he wasn’t wearing a mask before (he takes them off shortly after) and no one on stage was wearing them (the audience was though)
- speaking of audience. at the start of bloody masquerade kyo pops up in the audience and runs through them, touching hands (he actually holds hands with like two or three people and straight up hugs one or two people as well; i wonder how these people are doing now lol i would’ve passed away). he pretty much sings like half the song at least while going through the audience
- osiris covering guru guru magic and blast covering whiz. yamato doing an asahi impression and being spot on
- yamato being eternally 17 and kyo being eternally 20
- raphael shows up and does lucifer d (with osiris as accompaniment) i was so shocked,, i remember him being one of my faves when i played the game and i would loop lucifer d all the time so i was shook
- just all the guys having fun together especially when one band was playing the others would wander around the stage; at some point yamato and kyo would go around with cameras and the members would pose with each other it was so cute
anyway this gave me an extremely needed serotonin boost i love banyaro and will be looking forward to the next live
