2016.11.01 SCREW: LAST LIVE TOUR 『BREATHE ONE’S LAST BREATH...』

My morning started off with my neighbor cooking me breakfast. Although we are just going to be a 2 week neighbor and would be strangers to each other after my trip, I would never forget how I feel she's like a mother role to me. She helped me on many things and made sure I am feed and is warmed up with the heater. I have done nothing to thank her and I really feel so bad about it. But I really trully mean it, Thank you so much neighbor-san. I would never forget your yummy breakfast and the times we had talks and laughs.

Screw will be having a pre-sale on their goods (except for chekis) starting at 3:00 PM so I got out early to make it to the pre-sale so I can get a hold on the goods and I'm just super nervous on the memorial Dvd since it's random member. So on the way, I saw this Halloween wall decoration..... uh.......in a way, that thing is just so scary to me and I just had to note that, lol!

Around 3:05 PM I arrived at Tsutaya O-East. Is it true that where it started is where it will end? The first time I saw Screw at a live was in 2014 at Tsutaya O-East. The last time I will see Screw is also this same venue. I don't know if I can laugh about it or cry.

Anyways, as I walked into the lobby of the venue, I see many flower arrangements for Screw from fans and other bands. There was one just for Kazuki as well! I hope he can feel he's very loved and don't disappear forever after disbandment (>__<)! And one of the most interesting one would be the fish tank one. It's so beautiful and unique. I think D=Out also sent them one but I didn't looked through all of them to find out. But it should be there for sure!

After I took pictures of some of the flower arrangements, I walked up the stairs to get the pre-sale goods. I did SS so I had like many things in hand after purchasing goods. They gave me 2 Memorial Dvd's one is for the SS and one is for me. I got Kazuki and Jin version!!!! The Jin one would be perfect for the other person since they like Jin and then I will take the Kazuki one. Perfect. I really wanted to try again for a Byo one but I am afraid since I have really low money left (more like NONE left for goods) and I need to save 10,000 yen for chekis after the live. So I just left the place and went on to put the goods in a coin locker and just went to grab a bit of snack before the live since I have like 2~ hours of free time.

I went to Mos Burger to get some light snacks. I didn't know what I wanted to eat but I saw this nice empty corner and I wanted to sit there so I just went in and found something light and nice to snack on~! I got a mango parfait-like thing. It's so good! Like so good! While I was eating this, I was also writing letters for Screw members. I only had time to write one so I only write it for Byo. Yes, I suck. I should have written one for Kazuki too (>__<) I was procrastinating till the last day but then.... Sorry Kazuki <3 I really like you too.

After that, it was almost time for the live to start so I headed back to the venue! Carla decided last night that she wanted to come too so I went on Twitter to get her a cheap ticket since she doesn't care about the number. She came at around 5:05 PM (the entrance time is around 5:30 PM). After all that time of not being able to find a time to meet up, this Screw live was the reason we finally get to see each other.... Anyways it's been more than a year and when we meet, it felt like it was just recent that we have't met up! Chatting in real life is way better than online. It been hard to communicate online. I have a pretty good ticket number so shortly I had to get in the front to listen for my number and I will see Carla after the live!

I spent around $220 for a ticket number #113 at an auction for a better spot than my original #700~ ticket. It's the last time I can see Screw at a live so I didn't want to regret. It's a crazy amount but it's Screw. They are worthy of it. So my ticket number was called and I walked past the rest of the crowd and up the stairs to the venue. I debated for a sec where to stand, right in between Byo and Kazuki or siding to one of them. I decided to side a bit to Byo though I'm still between both. As expected, I was able to get to 4th row. Everything felt so close but yet still so far. The staff told all of us to step up so other people can come in so YES!!!! I was another step closer even though it's still 4th row. However, even though I was so close, I couldn't not remember actually being that close. I wasn't able to remember how close they were on stage during the live. Anyways, I waited and waited and finally it was time.

As all the lights went out, I thought to myself, "This is it." My heart was both excited to see Screw but at the same time, it's sad that the final moment has begun and once it's over, Screw will be officially part of the past only. The stage and us fans were separated by a semi transparent curtain and we see the members come out one by one. Jin first, Manabu second, Kazuki third, and lastly, Byo. As the members come out, fans call out their names in excitement, this is the sound of the audience Screw built out over these years. Byo clearly loves it when we call his name. He was motioning for us to shout even louder! That man, he loves the sounds of the audience. Please never disappear after the disbandment. It would be a crime to do so after engraving your voice and songs inside fans heart for 10+ years of doing music! The semi transparent curtain suddenly was flashing with enlarged version of the members shadows. This looked so cool! The magnificent Screw.

As much as I wanted to try keeping it an even amount of time that I look at Byo and Kazuki, I felt that 50% of the time I looked at Byo, 10% of the time I looked at Kazuki, and the rest of the 40% of the time..... I was looking at the fans in front of me on the furi so I can follow along (;__;) That may be one of the reasons why I couldn't remember how Byo was like on stage. *laughs... laughs... cries...* Whenever Byo walks to the left side of the stage, I would take that chance to just stare at Kazuki because I KNOW once Byo comes back, I wouldn't be able to keep my eyes off him.

Throughout the live, they were throwing water bottles, picks, and drumsticks. However, I was never able to catch anything from the live except for the purple streamers that they shoot out during the last song.

I can tell that them and the staff spent a long time preparing the stage for this last live. They made the words SCREW with metal bars and it's installed right above the stage. It's so big and beautiful. I actually didn't notice that on top till the first encore I guess I was too busy staring at Byo, Kazuki, and the fan's hands(lol!) It's seriously one of the most beautiful stage decoration ever, I can't explain why I love it so much but I just do.

During one of their mini water breaks, we keep calling/shouting their names. Byo walks up and points his mic to us as if he wants to hear us more clearly and louder. He likes this, he clearly likes this! He likes it when we scream their names!!!

During another mini water break. we were shouting their names again. Byo walks up, we quiet down because we thought he was going to start singing again or to say something. And then Byo smiles and motions his hands for us to go on shouting and said "Motto!"

Some highlight moments from some of the songs:

From main setlist:

Death's door

As they started their first song, Death's Door, I would never forget the firework smell after the curtains were dropped down.
アナフィラキシー

During first two songs Byo were acting like "fat yerng dew" for the like 2~4 seconds each during a certain part of each song, hahaha! Scary scary Byo lol!
Thirty♂Revolver

The furi for this song is so lame and awkward and for this song, Byo does the first few with us. Ofcourse even with Byo leading it, I cannot keep up with any furi that's not common between all bands I go watch. It is... lame however, I really love it. Teehee~ I think it's super cute when Byo does it with his serious face. I'm just weird ok?
Gather Roses

The PV of this song is the reason why I started loving Screw. So it means a lot to me to hear this song live. In the beginning of the song, Byo licked his mic stand. That part was so sexy! And the way he whispers the first few lines of the lyrics was also so sexy!
UNWORLDLINESS KINGDOM

This song when the audience shifts left and right, Byo does weird hand postures. Every lame thing he does is cute to me <3
樹海二咲ク愛

Right when the piano sounds were played, I knew it's this song. I thought I would never get to hear this live. This is my favorite song and most important song from Screw. I am so grateful that they sang this! I love the way Byo puts his lips on the mic when he sings. The whole song was full of emotions.Though when Byo was trying to high the peak chorus parts of this song, it's as if he couldn't anymore. Since this is an old song, Byo's voice may no longer be capable for this song but this still sounded perfect to me. Byo has tried his best. I was in a half day-dream/in-denial state midway through the song and I told myself that this may be the last (but also the first) time I'd ever get to listen to this song so I must really focus and face Screw's last moment. During the whole live, I felt my mind has been wandering around though at times. It's not that I don't want to be there. It's just I've been in-denying that these are Screw's final momenta. I know that it's now or never so I tried my best to focus. My heart didn't feel easy the whole time though.
微笑みを亡くした愛と自由

As the ballads songs are transitioning into more heavier songs, this song I would say is the perfect choice. This song has a bit of growling but is also considered a ballad song. First, I really love this song. Second, I really love how they arranged the songs in the setlist. I wish they had included Ancient Rain as well and that would be perfect but I'm happy with this setlist as well. It's very put together!
FUGLY

Honestly, I hated this song when it first came out. I hated it for a good 2 years till probably this trip to Japan. This is for sure a live song. I loved it when I heard it at the live. So much jumping!!!!! This song killed my legs lol!!! But IT'S SO MUCH FUN! And one of the best parts is Kazuki's solo!
CAVALCADE

I think this was the song where Byo was shooting his fingers at fans as if it's a gun!!!! I'm 90% sure... ok... maybe 50% only....that Byo shot the girl to my right and then shot his fingers at me! BUT LIKE I SAID, I AM NOT SURE. If it's not for me, it's still for the people in the area I'm standing at so I'm still happy I'm part of that area :D! I wasn't sure if this is the song because at the Niconico video playback, during that moment Byo could have shot his fingers at me, the video focused on Kazuki.
DIE・KILLER・DEAD

At the beginning of this song Byo growled, "Omea no koto ga...Omea no koto ga...Omea no koto GA...OMAE NO KOTO GA DAISUKI DA!!!!!!!" I love it when he says that <3 I daisuki Screw too <3
Near the middle of this song Byo pointed the mic right next to Kazuki's mouth and Kazuki shouted, "OMAE DAISUKI DA!"
DEEP SIX

This was the last song of the main set list. Right after this song, the lights were out and the members went in and the fans started saying "en-co-re". I was thinking.... it's been a full main set list worth of song time already!? It felt as if only 30 minutes max has past and not 20 songs worth of time. I kept thinking to myself, "no no no, don't let this be over too soon...." It's already time for encore, meaning there's not much time left.

From 1st encore:

Jin, Manabu, and Kazuki came out first. Manabu was like RAWR... RAWR..... and then he gave the fans two thumbs up. LOL He's actually so damn cute... Can he not retire from music please.... (T_T) And it's as if Byo has a tendency to bring out something... anything out to encore even if he doesn't need to use it, lol. This time, it's their purple tour goods cushion. he just placed it on the foot stand for a while (like to display it???) telling us that it's the tour cushion and then he just put it in the back. LOL. WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO BYO??

Byo was wearing a loooooooong white tank top. Something that looks like a PJ. And him holding that cushion made him look extra cute <3

Kazuki just wore a plain black hoodie and his usual black hat. Simple but super handsome 101%!

ムラッキーヘビーマーチ

We each called screw members name and we cheered for each one, it went on for around 3 rounds. During the last round, Manabu, Byo, and Kazuki gathered in the center behind Byo's foot stand and during that time Byo and Kazuki were smiling/grinning to each other (they look so sweet!) and when we call their names, they each jump up! It's like full grown men trying to act cute. For Screw that is absolutely <3!
スカーレット

I love this song because there's like a mini friendly Kazuki and Manabu guitar showdown it felt like. I love love love the way they interacted during this song. It's so cute when they are like throwing an invisible pick around to play.
Cursed Hurricane

During this song, Byo pointed the mic at the fans to sing one of the lines. I'm so sorry but I have no idea what the lyrics are, haha. So I just pretend to mouth something... lol!

From 2nd encore:

Manabu came out with a very happy grin and having both his hands in the air and then he was making a masculine arm pose... I can't explain but will add a screen cap but I remember to add it. And then it is as if he was mouthing "What? What?" in a very happy face and then he pouted. He's soooo cute! Like soooo cute! But he is like super emotionless sometimes though and I was able to see his goofy side during Screw's last moments.

Byo and Kazuki were both wearing the paint splatter last tour t-shirt while Jin and Manabu came out wearing the RIP one. I actually didn't like the paint splatter shirt design... till Byo and Kazuki wore it. The longer I see them in that shirt the more I thought that this shirt looks the best on them(It looks best on Kazuki actually). And since then I started to kind of like the shirt. But I had no intention of actually owning the shirt till like way after the live... But yes it was too late. LOL. I'm such a loser. Haha.

RAGING BLOOD

Byo looked soooooo sexy during this song. He wears his shirt with the shoulder part down. I freaken love this kind of outfit on him so much!!!!
S=r&b

This is probably the most crazy song of the all at a live. Anyways, Byo took his shirt off and leaving himself naked on the top. (I am not suprised but yay!)

There's a nice calm hand holding moment between fans during the chorus of the song. We would sing along to some lyrics while we hold hands with the fangirls to our left and right and then after the line of lyrics are sung, we all walk up as close to the stage as possible. This went on for about 3 rounds.

After the first round, Byo said, "eh.. chotto samui." He wrapped and tied the last live towel around his waist and then he said, "Konna yatte baka ne." and we all laughed. Byo why so cute!??

Then we did the second round. And Byo said, "Mou i kai dake!" So we did a 3rd round, however after the 3rd round, this turned into a gyaku dive...... and then.......... the crazy crowd surf party started. I had no idea what was going on till my face was shoved and jammed with elbows and feet, and etc. And then I realized it's a f****** crowd surf. LOL I was basically being crushed on the top by people's all sorts of different body parts, haha! Like woah~ that was some crazy shit. I'd never forget this in my life alright. I had no idea that being in 4th row meant being part of all this haha! It's crazy and dangerous but it's for sure fun. Though I was trying my best to not have my neck get broken, haha.

During the crowd surf gyaku dive, Byo and Kazuki were like crazily spitting and spraying water and even throwing water bottles at the crowd. GAWD WHEN WILL I EVER GET A WATER BOTTLE AT A LIVE!?? I guess never (=3=)

Byo was like, "more more more (pointed to crowd surf) you you and you!"

Anyways, the whole time all I was trying to do is to protect myself from getting hurt and I really couldn't risk to look at the members even though I was like so much closer. Though I did managed to take two peaks!!!!! THE PERFECT MOMENTS ALRIGHT! THANK YOU VKEI GOD FOR LETTING ME SEE THIS. So I glanced and saw Byo just moving around. Second glance, I saw Byo and Kazuki standing in the middle of the stage with Byo's arm around Kazuki. Byo is like trying to whisper something to Kazuki or I don't know what he wanted to do to Kazuki and Kazuki was like trying to listen and then he just whatever and "RAWR-ed" Byo off and Byo just laughed. Hahahah <3 So cute those two.

From 3rd encore:

Dearest Wish

So this was the last song. I was curious on what they would choose as the last song, Brilliant or Dearest Wish. They sang Dearest Wish. I am not surprised that they had chosen this song. They seem to love this song a lot. While Byo was doing MC saying that's it's time for the last song, a fangirl shouted, "yada!" I completely felt the same way that fangirl felt. I'm sure everyone in this venue felt that way too.

At the beginning of the song, the stage shoot out purple plastic streamers. I was able to catch one while it's still in the air. That feeling felt so nice. (After the live, I picked up 3 more, but from the floor.)

During the chorus of the song, Byo kept repeating the first line and we sing the rest. He kept repeating the first long every time we finish singing the chorus and it went on for at least 9~10 times. It's as if Byo too, doesn't want this song and this live to end. And that he wanted to engrave these lyrics inside our hearts forever:

光と闇、僕と君混ざり合う事はないけど

迷い込んだニヒルなアジトから抜け出して

痛みも涙も笑みも、共に分け合えたなら

同じ夢を歌に乗せて願うよ

After the last song, Byo told us we'll all take a picture. So with all our sobbing faces we took the last live photo with them. Though, no one posted the picture so I don't know how it looks like nor I know if they would release the photo to the public or not.

After that, we all held hands and did a final jump all together. I noticed though Manabu didn't hold hands with anyone, Byo and him were supposed to hold hands I guess but somehow they looked awkward.

After the live, I rushed out to the merch table! There was already a looooooong line. But I don't think people noticed it yet but there were actually two lines. One is for cash and one is for credit card. The one for cash is like very long and I think people just have no idea if they can just walk up to the card line or not. I literally just went "sumimasen" and walked right through the cash line... well I had to anyways. The members present boxes were next to the credit card line so I had to go over there anyways to give Byo my letter and then since there is techinically... no one in line for credit card line except for 2~3 people. I lined up there and got my chekis.

I got 10 chekis, and yes they were 1000 yen each. So technically I've spent ichiman yen on just 10 chekis. We couldn't pick them out by ourselves, that's probably the best solution for me because if so, I wouldn't have gotten what I have gotten. I was so happy! I got 4 Byo, 1 Kazuki, 3 Jin, and 2 group shots. Am I super lucky or what!???? I traded a Byo for a Manabu. I sold/traded off all 3 Jin and the 1 Manabu I have (because the Manabu I traded for I realize isn't from the last live. It's an old cheki they were selling with the pile... lame... but oh well) I'm super happy with the chekis I got!! I was super excited that I got so much Byo <3 and also that Kazuki is perfect! It shows his purple stone ring, it's so beautiful! And also I was super surprised on the group shots. I never knew they would exist and I'm so happy I was able to get two!

Here's the goods list, sadly some of the things I want are sold out already:

(Disclaimer: photo is not mine)

Zeal Link had a special deal that day if you buy 2000 yen or more of Screw's old cd, you can get a print-signed photoset. I didn't try for it because it's not real sign and also this set of photo I believe is in the photobook that I bought already~

(Disclaimer: photo is not mine)

So after I got my chekis, I did have a second thought on getting more goods so I can try my chance on getting a Byo signed memorial dvd but the line was too long and I got lazy to get in line. I just came out of the venue and waited for Carla to come out. Carla took a while because she went to get her drink before she got goods. She bought 5 chekis (b/c she said they were too $$$) and she got like 3 Jin and 2 Kazuki. Her Kazuki with nose picking pose is soooo cute!!!! haha!!!

These are the goods I got today! (In the end, I traded the Jin away for a far shot Kazuki) I originally decided on buying just Kazuki's charger however I was thinking I wouldn't be able to get over myself if I didn't get Byo's glasses too so I ended up getting both. And both already totaled to more than 10000 yen so I was eligible for the memorial dvd already. They never stated that the dvd would be signed. So when I was in line and saw fangirls holding their bought goods and I saw the dvd on thier hand.. I FREAKED OUT. Like OMFG IT'S SIGNED... <3 Oh and also, the staff handed us flyer packages when we exit the live house, and THE COVER FLYER SAYS THERE WILL BE A LIVE DVD OF SCREW'S LAST LIVE!!!! (Also noting that I also got Byo version of the signed Memorial Dvd when they were selling left over goods on their PSC webshop when I ordered the cushions which totaled up to 12000 yen! So yay! I got both Byo and Kazuki's!)

These are not my dvd's nor it's my photo but I found this pic to show what the other member's version looks like. I wish to have all 4 but I guess I'm fine with just my top 2~

(Disclaimer: photo is not mine)

These are just detailed photos of some of the goods I got:

After the live, Carla and I went to eat dinner. We went to this Chinese restaurant I think. I got ramen and she got satay bean sprout. As shared a gyoza. Her dish and the gyoza were sooo good!!!! For my ramen though, it was a bit too salty but it's still good. Now I crave gyoza now and then because of this day (>3<)

After the dinner, we both had to catch the last train to get back home so we walked to the station together! While we were crossing the street, we saw these cute lil cars!
